> panics aren't "goroutine scoped" in terms of their potential impact

I'm with ya there. However, there are also many classes of logic errors that are not goroutine-scoped. And there are many panics that do not have impact outside of the goroutine's scope. In my experience, this is true of most panics.

In practice, panics happen. They are (almost) always indicative of a bug, and almost always mean there is something that needs fixed. However, if a subsystem of my application is broken and panicking, there's a pretty good chance that reporting the panic without crashing the process will provide a better end user experience than just blowing up.

Yes, that means I'm accepting the risk that my application is left in an inconsistent state, but coupled with good observability/reporting, that's a tradeoff I'm willing to make.

(bonus: this is especially true when propagating panics allow me to capture more debugging information to fix the panics faster)

Same for me. At a job that had unlimited PTO our boss asked who was taking Veteran's Day off. I said I was because why not it is unlimited. He messaged me saying he was a veteran and he wasn't taking the day off. Like ok? We have "unlimited pto" but have to play guessing games if taking federal holidays off is ok?
There’s a lot of other things that are interesting about the article, but I’m personally intrigued by the idea that SSNs exist here at all, and are categorized in the way that they are. The social security numbers of a decent percentage of the population have already been leaked and are fully compromised, and the multitude of places that a person needs to provide the SSN means for everybody else, they’re about as secret as their checking account number.

How great are the IDEs over there for Swift? A quick search indicates jetbrains just shut down theirs, apple.com/swift/ really screams "this is apple stuff" and swift.org/getting-started/ seems like they use VS2019 to build on windows, but nothing about use as IDE. There is a VS Code extension with 80k installs, though.

In the UK I remember the first time a friend had one which was in 1994 when I was 17. A year later I went to university and in 1995/6 almost nobody there had a mobile phone, the year after maybe 20% of students had them, and by my final year (97/98) almost everyone had one - so in the UK I'd say the tipping point was probably 1997, possibly triggered by affording pre-pay mobile phones becoming available in major stores and supermarkets.

Just checked Wikipedia, seems that's right:

> The concept was further developed by Vodafone UK, who in Oct 1997 launched 'Pay as you Talk', packaging a GSM phone with a prepay tariff, and retailing it in new kinds of mass merchandiser retailers such as Woolworths and Argos and one year later into supermarkets such as Tesco (previously mobile phones had only been sold in specialist phone retailers). Customers could buy the product outright for £149 (reducing to £99 very shortly afterwards) which came with credit and then top up as they needed. Pay as you Talk went on to be the market leading prepay proposition in the UK for many years attracting millions of new mobile customers.

If those two people in your example tried as hard to compete with each other as AMD and Nvidia do, then yes, it's a market and it's more healthy than many others.

An unhealthy, uncompetitive market would not have such a notable rate of improvement of the products as we see in the GPU market.

Plus, if it's competition you are concerned about, the situation is improving! Intel is getting into the discrete GPU market too.
No, the ideal place is knowing when pizza is bad and not getting bad pizza.
Yeah the definition of price gouging is sharply increasing the price of a essential product in times of disaster. Say supermarkets sharply increasing the price of water or food despite their supply being more than capable of handling the demand since they know people don't have time or ability to shop around.

The term gets used a buzzword now for anything people want that costs lots.

That is elegant. I like it.

> only notifies you once when it goes above the threshold and then once when it's back safe again.

It might also be a good idea to add an argument to the email function to tell it not send an identical email to the previous email sent within a window (or ever). So just fire off your citation count email, knowing that you will only actually be send an email when count changes.

This simplifies the scripts, while offloading a bit more work and persistance to the API.
> In languages like Spanish

I can't speak to Russian at all, I have zero experience with that language in any context. But I was taught that when speaking Spanish, if you're using a noun with two different gendered variants but you don't know the gender, typically you default to a specific one of the gendered variants that plays double-duty as the gender-neutral term (and different animals/objects have different defaults you're supposed to use, which you just kind of have to memorize).

For example, I was taught that if you're picking up a cat off the sidewalk, and you haven't checked its genitals, and you want to ask if it belongs to someone, you just use "gato", and it's understood that "gato" can mean both "explicitly male" and "I haven't taken the time to check." Similar deal for mixed groups containing people of multiple genders, I was taught if there's at least one man you use the male forms when referring to that group.

Admittedly I did have an American education, so it's very possible I was taught incorrectly. I don't put a lot of faith in my Spanish teachers. But it's not like gender ambiguity is a modern thing; scenarios where speakers don't yet know the sex/gender of the things they're referring to are a fairly common issue that will come up pretty often in any culture, regardless of what its gender norms are.

If you're in Russia and you tell a story about a fox you almost hit with your car or something, I assume you can tell that story to a friend in a way where your friend will understand you're not claiming that you were ever close enough to the fox to determine its sex. Again, I don't know, but I assume there are something like default gender-variants that Russian people use in that situation; I assume its possible to have that conversation in Russian.

These are all really bad things which should never survive to production code. It is not difficult to detect and prevent them.

> I would argue that all of these examples which are the most common in my experience are “goroutine scoped” because the goroutine was aborted before they potentially modified the application state in an unknown way.

What makes you think that terminating the goroutine that triggered these panics prevents them from impacting the process state?

> It’s like not in C, or C++ where out of bounds access has now put the entire application into an unknown state.

What makes you think this is the case? Panics have unknowable impact, and many panics (e.g. data races) absolutely do put the program into an unknown state.

For MS, it was definitely true when there was the policy of firing the bottom 10% every year or something like that.

It created extremely perverse incentives where nobody wanted to help each other or would even go as far as to sabotage other people's work in order to make sure they're not on the bottom. Some managers would hire people with the intent to fire them later.

> so you really tend not to get bad French staples at very many places--even if it's a random touristy place.

French here! I'm usually not that picky with croissants, but much more with other patisseries, such as eclairs. It's a bit harder to find good patisseries, and the quality doesn't always correlate with the price. Even in what looks like legit "patisseries artisanales", you can find eclairs which are basically frozen industrial stuff and sell for 3.50+ euros, which I think is a scam.

That being said, yes, I think you can normally find decent bread, croissants and patisseries (and cheese) pretty much everywhere in France.

On a side note, I lived in London and I noticed that Sainsbury made good bread and croissants, for much cheaper than the fancy "French" bakeries.
Swift doesn't really have to be "genuinely innovative" – it's a modern, ergonomic language which is pretty easy to pick up and and use, has decent performance and a solid type system combined along with the familiarly of a C-like imperative language. It has pretty obvious usability and expressiveness benefits relative to Objective C while being designed for effective interoperability with a massive existing set of codebases.

It actually feels quite a lot like Rust to write it. They're obviously designed for two different use-cases – Apple platform development versus safe systems programming, but they share a lot of similarities in other ways.
It's difficult to notice inflation living in NYC because everything is just expensive. If a coffee or a slice of pizza or a bagel goes up by 20%, that's less than a buck on average, and prices among those products already vary by a lot more than buck. So it's never going to be a shocking increase. Or even noticeable. Combine that with the resignation that most New Yorkers have to the fact that shit is just expensive, and it's hard to really feel an impact from all this inflation that the media has been blaring about for a year. Am I spending slightly more day-to-day than I did a year or two ago? Probably, but I'd be hard-pressed to prove it. I guess it's more obvious if you make a chart!
1st class support for Linux is a must. It's a pain to distribute anything you write in swift (unless you can now statically-link?)

I would not be surprised if our sense of curiosity evolved from our need to look at diverse species of life and identify some useful properties from them, like some primitive bipedal creature trying to identify what is safe to eat, leave alone, or run away from.

Absent the same environmental pressures driving selection for these traits, its possible that higher life forms could evolve without these behaviors that we humans seem to be biased enough to assume all other intelligent life must have.

> There will not be a soft landing.

The reality is we cannot see the future of our incredibly complex, ever-changing economy. Sure, this hasn't happened in the past, but on the other hand the economy today is vastly different than it was even fifty years ago. Not to say we couldn't end in a recession - of course that is a distinct possibility - but the reality is that we don't have a ton of history to draw on when it comes to post-pandemic recessions exacerbated by supply chain issues and large-scale war in major energy-producing countries.

I wonder if you've shorted the equities markets to the greatest degree practically possible given your financial situation? If not, then I think you're phrasing things with too great a degree of absoluteness.

In terms of the Fed's goal, it is reduction of inflation. Unemployment is both a driver and a signal of that, but it's not the ultimate goal. And besides, a rise in unemployment doesn't guarantee a recession - we're at 3.5% and folks from the Fed have said they see 4% as consistent with keeping inflation stable at an appropriate level. It is absolutely possible to have 4% inflation and not be in a recession.

It's funny you say that, like non-Apple products are so much better.

We ordered a fleet of Acer laptops years ago where I used to work, where after a few weeks of use if you unscrewed the bottom cover of the laptop and shook it, screws would just fall out.

We also had an entire fleet of HP laptops have their hinge plastics snap, due to poor design where the interconnection point of the two plastics would touch the case when closing the screen.

This wasn't one the odd laptop, it was 100's of an entire fleet.

I've owned two Macbooks in my life, one from 2008 that I broke spilling liquid all over it and the other that I have had since 2013. These machines are considerably higher quality than many other laptops.

> It would be nice I could pick a genre and the streaming service is just rotating through a list of popular titles of that genre

Although I would say in this case it's not exactly analog with TV, for two main reasons: ads, and picking a genre. In general, TV channels don't stick to a specific genre, even when it's right on the name (like History Channel).

Also, I doubt your friend would actually want a live, always on thing. They might just end up upset that everything's already mid-way through, or that they can't pause. Netflix "random" feature makes more sense, and I guess even more if you could choose a genre.

edit: seems Netflix doesn't have the 'random' feature anymore

Hi! Thanks for this insightful article.

> “Where advertising is heading is quite simply into a world where the ad will become a substitute for the product and all the satisfactions will be derived informationally from the ad and the product will be merely a number in some file somewhere,” McLuhan continued.

The computer mouse I bought recently gives me great satisfaction, and I've never once derived satisfaction from any ads for it.

Also, the piece goes on, doing something I dislike but which I've never seen dissected quite so obviously:

> There are a lot of different ways to interpret McLuhan here, especially when it comes to the “product” being “merely a number in a file somewhere.” Is this a way to talk about digital goods? Or, as another way to look at it, is the ad the product to begin with?

Or was he saying what he meant, in the manner of a normal adult speaking the language with which they're most comfortable, and "interpreting" him like is stuffing words in his mouth. Never mind that the words he spoke were fatuous and transparently wrong, I am foursquare opposed to "interpreting" people into saying things they blatantly never said. It's Minitrue without the memory hole: We don't have to erase the words if we're free to "interpret" them to mean absolutely anything we want.

Yes, every act of communication is interpreted. I'm opposed to dishonest "interpretation" which disregards the plain meaning.
I'll take it to the extreme and say I don't care if it even produces anti semitic content, and I'm saying that as a Jew.

Freedom from oppression. Freedom from violent men and women in thrall of their own misunderstanding and entirely impervious to reason, common sense, decency, who insist at the pain of torture and death that others submit to their ignorance. Sufficient and frankly a demanding reason to motivate any sensible human being.

Human Beings are members of a whole
In creation of one essence and soul

If one member is inflected with pain
Other members uneasy will remain

If you have no sympathy for human pain
You have no claim to the name Human Being.
