The spirit of the idea is to be explicit about what is the behavior you can expect from the code. You can’t foresee every exception, but you can at least make an effort to handle those that are likely to happen. It allows the calling code to handle the exception in a way that it doesn’t kill the program unless necessary. You can recover from some exceptions and should if possible.

Note that it took me a bit of getting used to the idea due to my background with python. Its type system does require a lot of extra code to implement this pattern.
I also pay for the Economist. It was key to keeping my sanity during the news cycle in 2020.

But somehow what I actually read is Hacker News and has been for 10 years. The only thing that keeps staying.
This article is terrible. Well it's more the adverts on the website I can't judge the article quite.

If your a public company it’s not hidden. Analysts are watching everything. A one time even might hit your stock and then it starts to recover soon after, but an ongoing event would raise suspicions of a deeper problem.

The reputable brands of liquid epoxy have data sheets included or available on their site with weight mixing ratios. The best way to mix is to use a paint scale (mettler toledo and sartorius make some) which lets you get both amounts precisely. They are made for automotive paints which require very precise ratio measurements (like 30:20:1).

A "classic C library" cannot assume the existence of pkg-config (or checkinstall, or conan, or vcpkg, or cmake).

It can assume the existence of the preprocessor.

TIL about fetchpriority="high". Seems like it has a good chance of being abused. I can imagine tutorials and stackoverflow posts telling you to routinely add it.
I understand this desire but charity alone cannot (let alone the profit motive that would seep into any venture-backed effort) cannot solve a systemic problem.

The roots of the modern US prison system go back to slavery economics [1]. The Lousianna State Penitentiary (known as "Angola") is quite literally a cotton-picking plantation.

Poverty and the desire for forced (ie cheap) labor are the driving forces here.

It SOMETIMES works. You lay off 50 people and only have to contract back one or two and it’s a net savings.

But often it’s just boardroom machinations for various reasons that can change as quickly as the weather.

I know people who made a good living being the layoff/callback dude for years. Basically considered it a 3-6 mo vacation every couple years. “Oh you want me to come in to consult? I’m in the Bahamas- it’s gonna costya”
Is it actually?

It doesn't give out reliable information and its "creativity" is questionable. Most of the excitement about it has to do with anthropomorphizing a robot that "feels" like an intelligent conversation partner, but it's not. Beyond toys, that is.

Similar to crypto. It isn't actually useful as a currency or to store value. Most of the excitemeny had to do with fake "freedom" dreams of the anarchically-leaning crowd and misunderstandings of what it is and isn't. Beyond toys, that is.

I see lots of parallels actually.
Product placement is everywhere. Next time you watch a movie or show, look for the clothing brands, computer brands, car brands, wine brands, etc. everywhere.

Krugman's essay is about the US.

There's never been a particularly equitable money system in modern times, the last 200 years or so. In the US, the gold standard was replaced by the fractional reserve system. I'm not opposed to fractional reserve on its face but since the US system is mostly owned and run by private interests, it's opened a wider door for the more truculent and petulant oligarchs to excel at rising to the top of the food chain.

I'm no fan of the gold standard either. It seems that whatever a money system is based on, people will move heaven and Earth to acquire that thing. Under the gold standard, entire nations were wiped out in order for "explorers" to acquire gold. In our debt based fractional reserve system, people will ruin themselves to acquire debt.

A monetary system based on a gram of protein might see a world with a surplus of food but I'm merely speculating.
It's a matter of taste, i do adhere to go simplicity and see point like feature constriction as an alternate approach that make deep sense to me.

I don't know anything about Rails but after having built a fairly large production web app with Django about a year ago, nothing about it felt cutting-edge to me:

- Async support was second class back then, not obvious how to implement fully.

- REST APIs are a library add-on instead of first-class. An excellent library, but still.

- The package ecosystem sometimes reminded me of the wild-west that is Node.js

- Dependency management is a complicated story (arguably caused by Python, rather than Django itself)

- Django Models are cool and expressive, but nowadays I would rather express my models in something like a dataclass, or a Pydantic model, or just a regular class...

Maybe Rails has these problems and more, I don't know. I'm not saying I'm never going to use Django again, but there's a large chance I will look elsewhere for a batteries-included framework next time I need one.

Couldn't agree more, it's like a "cool trick". I havent' found it really useful for anything except some initial novelty / amusement. I've not opened that tab for weeks.
Not to be snarky, but many European countries have publicly funded and administered prisons that treat inmates much more humanely than US prisons, especially Norway and Finland. The problem is that the US's culture loves punishment, US tax payers like to see cost per inmate be as low as possible, and in a surprising number of rural counties the local prison is a major employer. So I don't think that making private prisons non-profit would change much of any of that, and also it's not "our modern society", it's the US's modern society.
Suuuure, works soooooo well
This site isn't representative of all software jobs, or all software companies by any means.

That said I've also very rarely seen a posting for this. I've worked at a few companies that had 1-3 people doing it full time. But in every case I can think of they were exceptionally competent individuals who had started off in either support or engineering and gradually took it on as an explicit role because they were willing to do it and once they were the value was obvious.
> When should you eat is just as important as what you eat

And they don't tell us when to eat either.

I do the same (though I use spacehammer which is built on top of hammerspoon). It's been the biggest game changing in my keyboard-driven productivity. I don't like how it feels non-deterministic to command-tab since the order of the apps change. With a hotkey for each I know exactly what will show up when I hit the key, and better than using function keys, I don't have to move my hand from home row, plus it works when I use an external keyboard (which is most of the time).
Neither are easily available. There are more C++ programmers in total.

> All of us will forever be baffled about how not only did Apple produce the dumbest laptop keyboard ever, but then defended it.

It's obvious: they thought they could get away with it. The settlement is for $50m. If they saved $50m on keyboards then it was worth it for them.
... it also distracts the discussion to the core of the problem, which is whether or not the Catholic Church was doing better things or not during his time as a Pope. We should judge people for the greatest achievements/greatest position of social impact, not for being nasty to other kids on the playground and not sharing their toys.
> These languages are more alike than they are different.

I agree with this point. I learned python years before I learned Ruby and I found them to be very similar. Ultimately I dropped ruby because I didn't care much for the syntax and I like whitespace.

Its interesting in today world. We have had several major spying releases/scandals in the last decade and not much has really come of them (at least in the US). The last several our general population has shrugged off and went right back to using all their devices/services. It seems people just don't seem to care much about their privacy when it comes to governments spying. I don't have much faith there will be any serious consequences in Poland.

> Isn't that your decision ?

Of course, but that's the whole point. You want to have me? Give me good working conditions! I'm probably not alone.

I would not relate these two situations differently. Agriculture or gaming industry, working conditions need to allow comfortable living, dream job or not.

I'm not saying anything about unions in my previous comment, but my position is that whether it's a dream job for you should not change anything on your decision to unionize. Not even mentioning unions, you are entitled to require good working conditions regardless.

What's more, your employer has all the incentive to provide you with comfortable living if you could be employed elsewhere with better conditions because you could change your decision to work for them at any time (your situation could change: new child, new housing, medical expense, etc; or even your tastes).

(I'm speaking about comfortable living, not the highest pay you could have somewhere else - even if still gives you some leverage)

What's different in the two situations you expose is that someone working in agriculture has (unfortunately) likely less leverage on their pay negotiation because they would less likely be able to find a place where they would be paid more (if there's no other domain they could work in).

Tell HN: I'm scared of sharing my opinion online
I guess I'm posting this on this throwaway because of the very topic of this post.

I don't feel safe sharing my true opinion online. I generally find that I'm very distant in belief from a lot of people on social media (reddit, twitter, let alone facebook or whatever, even if I don't use them).

Just to give an example, I couldnt care less about people engaging in incest and find it just an old cultural taboo. Adults are responsible enough to know about the dangers of having children and they can do whatever they want.

Say, on reddit (even if some might agree), I would typically get people calling me disgusting, downvoting, going through my post history, attacking me, DMng me, whatnot.
This in itself is not a big deal, but when disliked opinions by the hivemind start to pile, you are seen as an enemy, someone to be sabotaged, followed around and downvoted, etc.
If it links to your real identity? Oh boy. One wrong opinion here in the US is enough to ruin your life.
Ah, i just remembered that article about a mentally challenged guy who dressed as Hitler in halloween and as a result got fired from his 20+ or so year janitor job. Not the same, but I somehow find it relevant in a way. (He was making fun of hitler, he claimed)

I'm not unhealthily paranoid, and I'm not someone with outright illegal views. But I don't fit the right or the left, and so I have no allies, sometimes only enemies.

I don't want to make this too long. I'm venting here because people here are more open minded than in general (even if I feel that's changing with the years and as more people join here... just me?)

Thanks for reading.
i must say i found this pretty incomprehensible - the railoroad track illustrations i found particularly hard to understand.

That's fair, and I'd prefer it not be fact. I just think there's a constant struggle to stop it (power concentration) from becoming reality, and requires people to intervene in the political process to alter that trajectory.

I think there's value in seeing the post-WWII structure of things as being the result of struggle, not automatically intrinsic to capitalism itself.
Yes, but it's not specific to "common RISC stuff", but instead it's because of a peculiarity of the x86 family, which has a strong memory ordering, while both ARM and RISC-V have a weak memory ordering. Apple avoided that overhead by adding a special strong memory ordering mode to its processors, which is enabled while running their x86 emulator; but emulators running on other processors (unless they have the RISC-V TSO extension or similar) either have more overhead, or have to use only a single core to run the emulation.

Bitcoin/crypto is a detector of naivety, inexperience and arrogance.

Blockchain is simply an accounting system. It is naive to assume that "trustless" accounting can/will lead to a functional, trustless monetary system without government.

It is arrogant to assume that understanding blockchain gives one insight on finance and monetary policy and marketplace dynamics.

Scammers and con artists feed on naivety, arrogance and over confidence --- and crypto is the proof.

So we’re speculating that the Bing chatGPT implementation will crawl public websites, answer queries strictly from its training data, and present unattributed snippets?

That does sound both flawed as a search engine and objectionable to site operators. In addition to not being announced or even rumored to work that way.

So, maybe the implementation is different from that model?

In this case I praise the act relating to consumer purchases in Norway. I bought a butterfly MacBook Pro in January 2017. After numerous repairs and complaints to the reseller, I decided to make my case to the consumer council in January 2020, and boy did that resolve the problem: It took the reseller less than 24 hours to replace the old faulty MacBook with a new one with a post butterfly keyboard. I did spend some time going through the consumer law to make my case, and the resellers' poor customer relations and inability to resolve the issue ended up working in my favor. It's bonkers that this issue still isn't resolved for many people.
