Just because it's useful to wrap exceptions in 5% of the cases doesn't mean you should wrap the rest 95% just in case. YAGNI.

1. You don't know which exceptions will be raised in advance. Anything that involves IO can fail in a plethora of ways, and you don't even know which calls involve IO (e.g. a library might choose to cache something on disk).

2. Consumers of your code will not know how to deal with those exceptions.

3. Most of exceptions are unrecoverable (that's why they are called exceptions), the best course of action is to crash, which happens by default.

4. You debug those exceptions by looking at stack trace. Adding extra levels just to give a fancy meaningless name to an exception does not help.

5. The whole point of exceptions is to propagate. Parthenon essentially suggests converting exceptions into return values.

Never been to India, but here in the UK we've got a big passion for Indian food but then we did have an interesting relationship with India in the past. When I've visited the U.S. there is a noticeable lack of Indian restaurants compared to the UK.

It's also worth noting how companies that lost 90%+ of value are close to unable to raise new cash due to dilution. Raising 100M at a 1B valuation is just 10%, but raising 100M for a 200M company is 50%, meaning founders lose control over the company.

So just because perfect enforcement is not possible the law doesn’t make sense to you? Of the billions(maybe trillions) of interactions on this game this law prevents millions of stupid ones with small children. That’s more than enough of a reason for you to click one extra button. Boo boo. Google seat belt law statistics on a similar situation.
Basically wanting to work with a true legacy system, colloquially I feel like
legacy" typically means "abandoned php/java8/c#" project. COBOL projects are older than me!

I think it would really help me grow as an engineer to understand how these systems are maintained, how they are tested, and how they are updated; what better way than something several decades old?

I feel like this is hard to find in the modern era, especially post 2010 onward.
I wonder what the world would look like if we decoupled what something is supposed to be and what data it's supposed to have, from how it actually looks and acts. Say, some "lowest common denominator" that works reasonably across all platforms.

For example, I'd say that I need:

A dropdown for a single option, with options: A, B, C

And let the device itself decide what needs to be displayed in the native GUI toolkit. Then just send that specification over the wire, instead of needlessly wasting the bandwidth on lots of pixels.

Actually, I think I'm just describing an analogue to HTML with the equivalent of CSS provided by the platform, but for native desktop toolkits (hopefully without the complexity of a browser engine).
You are focused on what your life could of been / should of been and are devaluing the true gift you have.

Get past that should of it is judgement that leads to no outcomes

Could of is an assumption that did not happen.

Your gift? Let me put it in a way that all who are in this community will read will understand. You are an engineer.

There are close to 9 billion people on the planet. There are roughly 80 million engineers. You don’t get to this level by chance but because you can, your part of the .8% of the people of the world who can build it. You don’t lose your abilities they just get rusty.

My advise to you is stop thinking about what should of or could of or if my dad was here as cold as this sounds. Instead keep pushing. Be what you are. Build something and then sell it-you are an Engineer you can do anything.
> Is it bad allowing a majority population to choose in which country to live only because they were ethnic Germans?

The point is that there was no significant movement there until the Nazis made one up, just like there was no significant rebellion in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine until Putin created one.
I think most of us try to be better people. It just turns out we agree to disagree on how each one will do it ;-)

I feel the exact same way. It sounds like the mic is close to his mouth, but when watching the video it's clearly not there. It's super trippy.
I don't think you'd sound like a jackass saying "O is for optimism. But we are not done yet. V is for vascularization...." but wouldn't you rather sound like a jackass than give bad advice?

Speaking of the 2nd Iraq War, I've got to wonder how differently current events would be playing out had the US not invaded Iraq in 2003. Doing so burnt so much of the US's credibility, both foreign and domestic. For the last twenty years, my own view has basically been "having a military so large is a liability if it will just be taken advantage of by special interests to do terrible things". The world was basically peaceful, at least on the large scale. Now with Putin's genocidal conquest, I've been forced to resign myself to the idea that the overly hegemonic military is apparently necessary, and having it led by a government that at least acknowledges some productive higher values is not to be taken for granted.

But that's a quick pivot, and not how politics works at all.
Yeah, I spent years as a competitive endurance athlete and always found the best way to heal was to stress the injury (lightly as you say) as soon as you can. I suspect part of the issue is that elite-level athletes tend to be quite "type A" and have a high pain tolerance. So the risk with them is that that push too hard too soon and re-injure themselves. But "normal" people tend to make the opposite mistake. They don't stress the injured tissue at all until all the pain is gone so it doesn't get great blood flow and builds up scar tissue.
I don't share your experience at all. In fact the the majority of online gaming chats I've been in have been relatively enjoyable and low drama.

It's generally the ones that have children in them that get toxic - I would guess because children have less developed social filters and act out their negative emotions more readily than adults.
> f*ck the American medical system

To call it a _system_ is generous because it implies a goal-oriented design where each component fits together intentionally. This in no way describes healthcare in the U.S. If you have unlimited time, money, access, and medical knowledge, you can find ways to put together what you need. But lack one or more of those elements, and good luck to you.

I feel like a bit of a dope, but I have to go look up these "Lake" chips from Intel by name whenever somebody writes about them.

Often these are delayed so you've been hearing about "such-and-such Lake" for three years and by the time it arrives you are so sick of hearing it that it sounds like it is something old and obsolete.

It looks like Rocket Lake is an advanced chip on the 14nm node which is not so bad as it sounds because the process of things getting better when you shrink has been derailed as of late. Before 2005 you had explosive progress in hardware because the clock speed and power consumption both go down. Until recently the cost per transistor went down, but now it is heading up which is one of the reasons why the 4090 is as crazy expensive as it is. I've seen 22nm parts still running strong after 10 years, I think 14nm parts will hold up, but it might be 7nm parts won't have that kind of lifespan.

It would be an interesting test if someone has the time and resources - use conflicting location for the same IP.
Could be done in an emulator in Android Studio I assume?
I would think that it would simply treat it as bad (inconclusive) data and not update the GeoIP.
Looking at Hackernews, some people create accounts solely to promote their own websites, but do not interact or care about the community in other ways. You could call this spam, but I don't think most of the posters think of themselves as being spammers. Still, their presence brings the average quality of the site down.

From what I understand, HN typically shadowbans these people from submitting links to their own website, but does not silence them in other ways. They can still share their views and be heard, just not for self-promotion. It might seem like a good idea to tell them this up-front, but keep in mind that most of them do not care about the community, and the ones that do care more about their own self-promotion than HN. If you tell them that they're banned for not participating, do you really expect them to do a good job all of a sudden? Chances are they'll just post low-effort fascimile comments in an attempt to blend in.

Keep in mind these are not spambots. Nobody is trying to be malevolent. But working with these people isn't always a worthwhile effort.

For a concrete example, I recall r/tabletopgamedesign having a problem of self-promotion (and I was part of the problem!). Lots of the users there post to promote their own board-game business venture. The mods tell them this isn't allowed without participating, so they instead post low-effort comments and self-insert their content when possible. e.g. if you ask them how to do something, they'll start with "Well, when designing (INSERT PERSONAL BUSINESS), I took (APPROACH) and found that (BLAH BLAH). You can read more (AT MY WEBSITE)". This drops the overall quality of conversation.

Regarding my second point, someone like Terry Davis is a prime example. Terry liked to post nonsense in threads because of his schizophrenia. He was banned several times, but would always come back with new accounts. Shadowbanning him seemed to be the ideal solution, as he was content with writing comments that would not be seen. Unlike the self-promotion people, he was not trying to be heard. Rather, he was trying to speak, and did not want that taken away from him. It's no different than those crackpots who write pages and pages on their own personal homepages that nobody reads [1][2]. They just wanna write.

Thinking about it, I can't blame the FTC for requiring it even if it is laughably stupid. If their mandate is "Do the best you can", putting in some obstruction to kids voice chat is better than nothing. Even if it only prevents 0.00001 more kids from using voice chat, their mandate is to choose that over 0.
Yes, as others have already said, please seek professional help right away. I wish you the best, and please hang in there. It does get better.

At 36, my mother, with whom I had a complex relationship, passed away, I separated from my wife of 10 years, I quit my career as a chip designer in the hopes of finding something more satisfying to me, and I lost many friends as a result of all of this. At the time, things couldn't seem to get any lower for me. I did spend a lot of time with a therapist and I worked very hard taking care of myself through all of this.

Fast forward a decade and a half and I couldn't be happier. Please hang in there and spend some time on healing and getting better. Boa sorte.
>>One thing that's very important in Germany when getting help is to never EVER say that you have suicidal thoughts. The moment you do that you slide into a bracket out of the social system that you can never get out of on your own. Any doctor or psychologist may now force you to take medication or put you in the asylum whenever they chose.

That is terrifying. Those medications are mediocre in the long-term. If you have a problem with a side-effect and they deem it trivial, you may be forced to take a medicine for life. Some of the alternative approaches to medicine are proving far superior for moderate level depressions (which can still be suicidal ideation).
In the case cited in the Reddit link, having files you legitimately own DRMed, replaced, or deleted seems like a pretty clear illegal act. I think the argument could be made that Apple could be charged with something worse than ransomware (since that merely encrypts your files and doesn't change, delete, or prevent them from being used as before once they are unencrypted).
“Unpopular” doesn’t feel like the right word choice to me. Using showdead I’ve never seen a post by a user whose history has genuine good-faith arguments which are being unfairly suppressed. It’s always spam or abusive behavior, and unless it’s something like rank anti-semitism it usually takes ignoring multiple warnings.
I reject that it's reductio ad absurdum. We do not know the effect of this kind of stimulus on children and how it can affect their development.

Whatever water has passed by the bridge is passed. Ignore it.

If you’re healthy, mid-40s, positive net worth, logical mind, and engineering degree, you’re starting so far ahead of the median condition that it’s almost not funny.

The tech job market is temporarily depressed, but I think that will start coming back in 2023.

Don’t focus on the past; realize you have a great position right now and that it’s just a framing question as to whether you see right now as a starting point or not.

Mid-40s is not too late to have a spouse, kids, a house, etc. Plenty of people have started from far worse and done just fine without any exceptional luck.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that excluding work related stuff gaming is very important to those who own a Windows PC.
Because the people who've been doing the work caring for the chimps before this ruling probably have a good idea of what will / won't work with the individual animals.

Some people decided to make laws with hard and specific rules without considering the downstream ramifications.

It's a social failure to adapt to the situation. We must ignore the experts because the rules say so. We must kill the chimps from stress by moving them because what the caretakers have to say has no standing in the legal world.

If "the law" is on your side there is no slope too slippery that can't overcome pesky constraints of morality or reality.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. In 2000 Mel Carnahan won a US Senate seat in Missouri despite having died 3 weeks earlier in a plane crash. His wife Jean was appointed by the governer to serve until the next special election could be held.
Yes this is a disaster for the public market.

It should be illegal to bring a company public without proven positive unit economics.

This is the opposite- it's for blocking access to productive sites thereby helping you procrastinate.
First, way to go! You've chosen to be vulnerable, and that is a great first step.

Second, get a therapist. It may seem expensive, and not helpful at first, but as I'm sure you already felt in writing this post, just talking about your thoughts and issues really does help.

Third, it's NEVER too late. I'm 42 and learning and growing daily. I've had to change a lot in the last decade to remain 1) relevant, and 2) in the loop.

I've had to learn to network again, because my original network of friends and colleagues dried up. It's possible, and after you start with a therapist, it'll be easier and more rewarding than ever before.

Finally, and I can't stress this enough, get out and do service for others. Soup kitchens, shoveling snow, cutting grass, whatever you can do. It will give you an immediate jolt of worth, and make the world a better place for all involved.

I wish you luck friend. If you need more talking, let me know utahcon [at] utahcon dot com
Catering to vegetarianism is virtue signaling? Aren’t there entire religions (real ones, not, you know, prosperity gospel derivatives) that encourage people to eat more plants? In addition there are lots of nonreligious that support the science that indicates that it is a viable and healthy way to live with lower cases of certain types of heart disease and certain types of cancer and less obesity. I’m certain I know of conservative nonmeat eaters.

I sort of expect the market to solve these things. Someone placed a bet, once we process the hell out of soy and make it behave like a hamburger, the entire world will be willing to pay more money for a burger that might not be healthier but will have less saturated fat and no animal product in it. They raised some capital, proved they could build the product, spent and invested to get it in stores and fast food restaurants. Along the way they probably bumped into numerous issues scaling a food enterprise but somehow have managed to stay pretty close to the mission. Turns out that might be a bad bet. What if the veggie burgers were cheaper? What if you have to use GMOs to achieve that price point? Or maybe the idea isn’t that great or the product has some deficiencies, maybe those can be repaired. That’s why we do it.

Was the investment because of “moral beliefs” or because it takes billions to get a food to that market? The TAM here is interesting too, it just well distributed which is what makes it expensive.
Thanks for the pointer, that looks interesting. Especially because it is open source!

I see it supports Jupyter notebook. Math support in those isn’t too bad at all, so it might just work for many cases.
Seems… pointless? Obviously protect all of you from further injury insomuch as you can.

It seems like someone just wanted to invent another acronym.
FWIW, my experiences with betterhelp were absolutely terrible. I had a therapist ghost me, and another one that would respond with answers so generic I would’ve been better off talking to a chatbot (I sort of suspect that’s what I was doing).
TFA distinguishes notions that tend to be confused in ways that lead to more heat than light.

In place of icing, and in place of anti-infammatory, my approach to reducing swelling is to increase blood flow with massaging an area before and/or after the injured tissue at the time of swelling. But do not massage the area that is swelling.
From Introduction To The Theory Of Complex Systems:

• Complex systems can exhibit a rich phase structure and have a huge variety of
macrostates that often cannot be inferred from the properties of the elements. This
is sometimes referred to as emergence.

This is the term and as common a term in complex systems as there is.

"scale-dependent capabilities" implies inference from elements.

I think some people just don't like the very idea even though it is not unlike the concept of stochastic process. I would think the same reasons to not like the concept of emergence applies to stochastic process. Murray Gell-Mann though couldn't even raise complex systems above arguing if emergence is magical thinking so it is probably a lost cause.

Such an interesting field that always ends up as this conversation.
If that’s your point then yes, fair enough, there is no direct comparison. The way your original P.S. was worded gave the opposite impression though, and “racing drivers aren’t athletes” seems to be a POV many people have.
Procrastination and the Bikeshed Effect (2009)
Context matters.

Being someone with rather extreme "misophonia", in a noisy city environment disconnecting from the sound of my environment is a necessity for my mental health.

Also as a life-long musician, music is one thing that makes life worth living for me in the first place. If I don't have a music player with me I'm playing music in my head anyway unless some noisy car horn, screaming child or even the sound of someone else talking takes me out of it, triggering an autism/misophonia driven rage.

But if I'm out hiking in the backcountry, which is a something my wife and I do a couple of times of a year to escape the city and connect with nature ... absolutely we leave the music player at home.

Wheat tortillas have been used in Western cuisine since the 1500s, soon after the Columbian Exchange brought wheat to the west. What, exactly, does it take for something to become tradition?

Also, wouldn't the expansion of tortillas to use other grain products push for exactly the kind of move away from monocultures that you want? As a grain farmer myself, having a market for both corn and wheat means that we can rotate our crops, to not have to rely on monocultures.
And A decent therapist is better than an ideal one. Just getting started talking to someone is key.
They also have a honor all contracts previously signed by MGM so it is entirely possible SG1 was included in another deal.

Also I believe MGM is still being operated Separately from Prime Video, or Amazon Studios so likely they would need to negate between the business units.
I found my therapist exactly like this and I have been with him for a few years. I was judicious with narrowing the search results and then further combed through each one meticulously. My wife tried 3 or 4 until she found one that clicked. I consider this list to be vastly superior to a better help etc. which I have never had luck with.
This is a common tactic for startups to measure interest and collect leads pre-launch. They probably aren't contacting you because the product isn't ready yet and/or you aren't a "qualified" lead (someone they think is worth spending the time to sell to)
