Yeah, that has not been my experience on mastodon (the "flesh-eathing piranhas" bit). It's much more civil likely due to the fact that algorithms aren't boosting outrage on mastodon like they are on twitter. Sure, the user interface looks superficially similar to twitter, but the user experience is much different.
What friction does curl impose? I get that a CLI command isn't suitable for everyone, but (1) we are talking about a developer audience and (2) there should NOT be a $5.6 billion valuation gap between the two tools.
This is a shit attitude that results in more shit collapsing because everyone’s busier finger-pointing, calling each other morons, and trying to avoid being called morons than they are figuring out why shit collapsed in the first place.

A bridge doesn’t collapse because someone was incompetent or fucked something up. It collapses because multiple different things fucked up in lots of ways, and the processes responsible for checking they didn’t fuck things up also fucked up. It’s a systemic failure, and by far the most important thing is figuring out how this failure happened and how we can prevent it from happening again in the future.

The difference with .map_err() is that you are no longer in the control flow of the parent function, so you can't decide to ignore the error inside the .map_err(), and you can't decide to return/break there either. You end up combining .map_err() with ?.

The "match" syntax is very simple, clear, and flexible. I don't have to remember the different Result methods: or(), map_err(), map_or_else(), and_then(), etc. There are just too many methods to remember, and match does everything. (Edit: and it's easier to borrow or move something from the enclosing scope inside 'match'.)

If I later decide that the Err() branch inside the match needs to do something other than propagate an error, I can just change the code there, without having to change the .map_err() to something else. I like match because it's simple, easy to read, easy to write, and flexible.

In Haskell, I’m more comfortable using functions like Rust's map_err because I can, e.g., put it on the outside of a "do" block, and in Haskell, it’s not like you’re going to "break" or "return" anyway (not in the imperative sense). In other words, in Haskell, something like mapError has the same power as "case" does (and perhaps more, since there are multiple ways to propagate errors in Haskell, and mapError will handle all of them, as long as you’re in an error-handling monad).
This has me asking myself "why aren't I ditching a big bank?"

I have accounts with multiple financial services companies including a local credit union and a large bank, among others.

I did prefer the credit union in terms of many of the rates etc and customer service.

However, the transferability across states and countries is a no-contest with the big bank. We moved out of state and the transition with the big bank was invisible; with the credit union (who we still have an account with) it would be really difficult to maintain day-to-day use. Even when we lived in the same area as the credit union, things like debit/credit card fees and whatnot were not comparable between the two.

So both have their perks; they're just structured differently.

A comedian friend in LA said something like this is an institution there.

You spend months/years hitting these clubs to test and refine a bit, while developing all the skills. Some audience make a sport of the heckling, especially some of the other aspiring comedians.

(She said the worst hecklers were the drunk fratbros who imagined themselves comedians, and their own bits were the kind that only their friends would think were funny, but they sure would be demanding of others.)

It was good practice, but brutal, especially if you're weary from living poor, and hanging in there while trying to make it in LA.

Lots of parallels with grad school.
That revised version is indeed interesting. I hope to get things pushed tonight. My approach managed goroutines directly and didn't use the Benchmark parallelism feature. I don't see any obvious reason why that matters but structurally that's a bit different

>Bringing immediate charges against him on the low hanging fruit does not preclude later charging him with anything that may require further work.

The US judicial system is always "one chance to convict (Double Jeopardy), many chances to appeal" and given the whole 'speedy trial' thing (The Feds get about 2 months), building a case is the only reasonable solution before charging him. Again, the Feds need to convince a jury beyond a shadow of a doubt that Sam did this (not that it was done, that Sam did this)

People seem to thing we can let him sit in jail indefinitely pre-trial while we collect the documents and facts, but the Constitution is pretty aggressive about that and no-one even knows what happened yet (not even SBF per his own claims).

A prosecutor can't just point towards ambiguous bad things that happened, they need iron-clad facts that a defense team can't poke holes in (even if those holes are only a shadow of a doubt).

>plays a disappearing act.

I mean, sure, there's always flight risk, but to where? Russia? I mean it "worked" for Snowden I guess, but obviously different circumstances there.

China? They banned crypto, so I doubt they want him potentially stirring up economic tumult there.

Pretty much anywhere else? The US has an extradition treaty and I doubt SBF is going to settle into a quiet life of hiding given his current behavior.

>He's a billionaire

This is always such a funny thing people say about others. Liquidity matters. Even if Sam has access to hidden billions of liquid crypto, then what? He sells it in secret and secretly buys a yacht from a company that's not worried about having those funds seized by the US Gov't? He can't make any meaningful purchase, other than legal defense, because any counter-party will know that the funds are at risk for seizure (since they are ill-gotten).

It's the same as Putin, like sure Russia's national wealth is his, but what's he gonna spend it on? The palaces he already lives in?

And then by that measure, isn't the current US President probably the wealthiest person (Say what you will, but no amount of money is going to give MBS the power to launch a nuke if he wants).

>He is an extreme flight risk, yet the DoJ continues to hem and haw.

Again, can you really be a flight risk if you're already not in the US's jurisdiction?

https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/

Locality of behavior is important. Note how this systemd-thingy is split into two separate files? It's like that a lot in systemd, whoever is doing the architecture doesn't seem to understand why locality of behavior would be desirable, instead taking the IDE approach of writing a bunch of tools to make managing the increased complexity more manageable. Don't glance at a crontab to see when things will next execute, run some other tool that will inspect everything for you. Make things more complex and difficult to read, and then write tools to make it easier to read again.

They could have just added "periodic" service type that accepts timer options, and at least then it wouldn't have to be two files.

Most of the advantages really don't seem like advantages to me. Templated unit files seems especially silly since it's equivalent to just copy and pasting a line in your crontab and changing an argument.

Seems to work for a lot of people, it's just not to my tastes I guess. Still, I find the whole thing pretty mystifying.
> That work was often not visible externally.

Let me be blunt, the work was never visible externally. What was visible externally is major language designers leaving the team (Lars Bak), Updates to the language slowing or stopping all together, the chrome team deciding to abandon dartvm in chrome, the angular team deciding to use typescript for angular 2.0, and Dart angular being abandoned (even as it was still being advertised on dart.dev!).

What other conclusion was an outsider to draw other than "Ok, google must be done with dart"?

What was the plan if flutter never happened? Would google ads continue to use dart?

Like I said, happy that you and your team are now enjoying some nice popularity. I jumped on dart early because I thought it was overall a good idea and decent language. However, once bitten, twice shy.

Between the childhood information and username, it seems like you're related to Chris. Are you related? I appreciate the little detail. It seems he's always been ahead of his time.

Know that he's had a huge impact on the Ruby community and the world.

I knew him online for years, but met in person for the first time last week. He spoke fondly of his ongoing trip and spoke with passion about tech projects.

The lunch was at a taco truck. He ordered a meal made of fries covered with various taco toppings. I remember pickled red onions at the very top. He left before the group was finished saying he had to go pair with someone. I felt uplifted about the interaction. I even brought it up to my spouse and my visiting parents when I got back from the conf.

I can only guess how he was feeling at the time, he seemed busy but cheerful.
Just out of curiosity: Why is it possible to compile Common Lisp Code (or Scheme, or Clojure) to high-performance native or jit-compiled code, but not Python? It is said that "Python is too dynamic", but is not everything in Lisp dynamic, too?

And none of these languages is less powerful than Lisp, lack Unicode support, or whatever, so this can't be the reason.
They link to both the code and the research paper on the site.
I find this kind of assumption that "coders can't understand feelings" as a harmful stereotype and baseless assumption just because many of the comments here disagree with your take. Emotional intelligence* has nothing to do with it; sympathy does. You can recognize the emotions of others without feeling sympathy for them. You think the author is sympathetic, others here (myself included)...don't.

*Emotional intelligence is the recognition of your emotions, the emotions of others, how your actions influence the emotions of others, and how to regulate your own emotions. Ironically, by this definition, the author is the one lacking emotional intelligence. They didn't understand why they were angry, why others were frustrated or how to mitigate it. They still don't understand that just saying that you are at peace doesn't mean that you are. To me, the author is still brimming with hurt, anger, jealousy, greed, and pride, and because of these last three, I don't have much sympathy.

From the company-side, live chat has generated tons of leads for us vs. just an email address. It's also easier to manage these leads inside live chat software vs. a messy inbox.

From the customer-side, it's very annoying to do quick and frequent back-and-forth conversation via email. Replies take way longer and I want to see the entire conversation at once vs. in an email thread. Live chat fills the space of being as fast as phone calls but as convenient as email. There are times when I need instant support but can't call (e.g. if I'm in a noisy cafe and I need to resolve something while I have information pulled up on my laptop).

Overwatch 2 is the most disappointing sequel to a game I’ve ever played. It’s literally overwatch 1 with like 3 new hero’s and a couple maps. Blows my mind that they had the nerve to slap a 2 on it.

That being said, I love the game because I lived Overwatch 1.
What is/was their revenue and growth rate?
In a lot of areas the cure is just hiring the right amount of people instead of trying to milk every last drop of work out of the existing workforce.

Parcel delivery sucks because the routes the normal delivery person has to drive are so on edge that even the slightest anomaly will produce delays. I'd happily pay a euro more for shipping that does not suck and the employees would happily work in such an environment. Still it does not happen, because somehow somewhere someone decided this was the way it should be.

Same for IT. Want things not to suck? Just hire the right amount of people, pay them the right amount of salary (to get the right amount of expertise) and you are good to go. Don't want to spent that money? Then you are paying every day for the money you saved there.

I think it's actually worse than exception-based error handling, as exceptions are typically integrated in the runtime in such a way that they produce a nice stack trace, which is very very often all the context you actually need (though sometimes parameter/variable values are important as well). The Result/Either/Error/[...] types have no such special support, so they often indeed just give you a single error type and no other context.

On the other hand, it's important to note that, except for maybe adding context and bubbling up, the vast majority of code in any code base will not actually handle errors, so the advantage of taking away the huge amounts of boilerplate when possible are still worth in my experience (as someone who has ~7 years of Java experience and have moved to Go for 3 years, all in a commercial setting with a large-ish team).

I do. I've got a Panasonic hob that's got two types of sensor: one which covers ranges of 140-220 C, and one which covers 60-120.

I find it very convenient. It's not perfect, because of course a sensor looking at the bottom of a pan can't be, but in practice we've found it very handy for the boil function (bring water to a boil @ 100 deg, drop back to 95 and hold there; making candy/fudge that requires holding around 80 degrees, making proper custard for things like creme caramel. The higher temperatures are good for things like dealing with meats, since I can dial in a temp and not fuss over what's going on.

The thing that has surprised me is how relaxing it is to use - as I say, I feel as though I'm fussing over what I'm cooking less.

That said, they're accurate to only 5 degree increments at best, and I wouldn't try using them for something like a sous-vide replacement.

> and in some cases you don't even need the |err| but since we're taking two arguments here you can't 'curry' it in a sense.

This is extremely pedantic, but without knowing Go, it looks like it's the other way around: Because you cannot curry the function "from"[1], you cannot do the partial application of "from" to "err" (which after currying would not really be a "partial application" but just application of the outermost function). Hence usage of what looks like a lambda.

[1] I guess currying is just not a thing in Go, because this looks like a straightforward case from a distance?
Still too high imho.

49 Euros is not completely covered under the unemployment allowence by the state. The max for that is 45 Euros.

Additionally, making the price 29 Euros would mean double the expected ticket sales and ultimately more money that could be used for upkeep and expansion.

Microsoft 10y deal for SOny is fair. Who knows if people will want to continue to play CoD in 2034. In the meanwhile, you have world 3rd largest company pouring resources into a great company, possibly increasing the headcount (since the costs are negligible compared to Microsoft size). You also have the harassement issues that Microsoft can address.

Also, the counterfactual can very much be one where ABK as an independent public company makes a deal to make CoD a Playstation exclusive. In the acquisition scenario, anyone will be able to play (including Nintendo users)

I think Overwatch was a sign of things to come. The loot box monetization, the focus on competitive play to the detriment of other elements, and the very rigid structure of the game (can't choose map, role queue) all felt like downgrades from Blizzard's previous efforts. At least the gameplay was good for a while.

Overwatch was the first Blizzard game that I liked less and less the more they patched it.
