> Both force you to handle the error

That is definitely not true of the second, especially when the language is incorrectly or insufficiently pedantic like Go. Notably, because the base pattern is

foo, err := Bar()

it is very easy to write something like:

foo, err := Bar()
// code, no error check
bar, err := Baz()
// code, no error check
qux, err := Qux()
if err != nil {
...
}

And Go is perfectly happy with that, because while it will complain about unused variables it doesn't say anything about dead stores. You need external tools to warn about this issue, as well as ignoring the returns entirely.

And then of course because this pattern requires having a valid "result" value which ends up in scope, it's very easy for bugs to creep in where this result value does get used even in case of error.
They really don't unless you routinely put a bunch of tiny self-contained apps.

The "pain" of figuring out how to deploy your "normal app" quickly amortizes over just how much easier and more reliable code is.
What about stuff I'm only thinking about? Don't think the machine can handle that!
I don’t think a computed property would behave any better. It sounds like your event handling should have been decoupled from change detection and only applied changes when necessary. This would probably be a problem in any framework.

Why trolls? Maybe they just want to learn about us. I don't see the reason to assume they have godlike sensors with unlimited range - they need to come closer to see detail.

Them being able to travel here doesn't imply they have significantly better technology than we do - it just means they had more time, perhaps their civilization is older than ours. 100k years older would be enough to send out a probe from some nearby stars. 1M years older would be enough to travel from thousands of not-so-nearby stars around.

Another solution is to make the law stiff and closed.

In France we have a labour law that codifies everything. There is no place for negotiation and for a typical contract you barely need to read it as it has to be according to the law. Notice period, vaction, all this is fixed.

Same when you buy a house. You get a contract that is always the same and where you cannot put unexpected clauses.

There are more similar cases so the everyday life of a generic citizen is legally predictable.

Maybe GCP, Azure and AWS could pull together the text to train a language model to tell us how to deal with their fucking stupid UIs and arcane terminology. I dread having to use their cloud portals. How do you find a VM by IP address in Azure? that kind of thing.

It's basically the same thing, in a language with pattern matching but not static typing. In Erlang/Elixir it's conventional to use tagged tuples to emulate sum types.
It's honestly like a cult and a desire to want to "do it right" on AWS. The last few projects I've spent so much time setting up code deploy, load balancers, certificates, SES, route 53... This newest project, I've gone to heroku with everything being basically a few clicks to get setup.

Who trains it? How often? All those internal procedures are finally going to have to make sense because they are going to be interpreted by a computer, not half ignored by humans.
It's different because banks with liquidity issues can be unwound and the depositors made whole using the proceeds, but that's not possible with these insolvent banks no matter how much time they're given. Sure, maybe they could pay out the face value of their deposits in a few decades when their treasuries mature, but that'd actually be a worse deal for depositors than just receiving whatever fraction of their deposits can be paid out from the fair market value of those treasuries right now - if they're willing to wait they can just invest in the same treasuries themselves, but they can also invest the money or spend it in other ways if they'd prefer.

In more concrete terms, the Fed has a funding scheme in place right now that lends banks money to smooth over any liquidity problems they're having and ensure they can process withdrawals. That funding scheme lets them borrow against assets based on their face value ignoring losses due to interest rates, but it still charges current market interest rates, which means they're bleeding out money that way. It didn't save First Republic Bank and neither would any other solution that didn't involve either depositors taking a loss or the FDIC making up that loss using its own funds, because they were insolvent, not just lacking liquidity. The very real gap between assets and liabilities to depositors had to be filled from somewhere.
Using insurance to cover unexpected costs is always a gamble, one way or an other. A business that invest into physical servers could sell of those servers if they later find out that there is a recession, which might cost more or less compared to a cloud solution.

If a business invest into a cloud infrastructure and create a binding contract for 5 years, only to find out that they actually want to abandon that project a year later, that is also a sunk cost. Long term contracts tend to be cheaper, so its a trade off between saving money vs risk.

It all depend on the risk analysis, how risk averse one want to be, and the economics/liquidity needs.

You would probably do a little bit of research after seeing the performance of your code. It's one thing to code the prototype sloppily, it's another to push it to prod.
> If there is a move in this area, I predict it will come from something like EU regulations on interoperability (we already have rules on Open Banking to some extent) - something to bear in mind next time the EU's approach to regulation is criticised as "anti-tech".

This would actually be really cool! Over here in the Baltics most banks expect you to use SmartID, which admittedly is fine and has some source up on GitHub, even some nice documentation: https://github.com/SK-EID/smart-id-documentation

But more implementations and support for less vendor lock-in is nice, except that in the case of confirming bank authentication/transactions, there's probably a rather serious matter of trust and security at play (made harder by all of the complexity that you have to deal with). That said, if there was a large community effort, I'm sure that the end result would still be good for creating something like that.
I think you are right about this -- I just wanted to draw the distinction between mathematicians and the much larger population of scientists/engineers, who really do write a lot of code which is in its way "serious computing" even if it doesn't deal with any of the concerns and practices of "good software engineering".

(I also think Julia would be okay with the current level of support for the "computer sciencey" technologies you describe like parser and web servers and so on -- it's pretty good at calling out to C or C++ if needed. But even many of the scientific/numerical packages don't have the maintenance resources they really need, so are often "good but flaky". This situation does seem to be slowly improving though.)

Pokémon isn't a Nintendo first-party title, it's not developed internally and often considered third-party by the company, as they only own part of it. But nitpicking aside, the titles developed by Nintendo look and perform fine, they're often some of the most advanced titles on the platform, so I'm not sure where you got that idea.

Not a great article, very little depth, only a shallow mostly syntax-level overview. Notably doesn't at all explore the consequences of those choices in how they relate to convenience, (type) safety, composability, interaction with generics, ... beyond merely mentioning the failure of java's checked exceptions.

It's also severely missing in breadth e.g. Swift and Zig use an exception-type syntax, but result-type semantics, it does not cover conditions and restarts, or takes like Common Lisp's MRV, where the ancillary return values are treated as secondary and interacted with through special functions.
When I was younger I was thoroughly unimpressed by "adults chasing a ball". Getting older, while still not a fan, I've become amazed at the stuff these bodies can do. An 80kg person taking a split-second decision to jump one/ one and a half meter into the air, rotating more than 90 degrees so that their legs are actually above their heads, reaching a ball travelling at a 100km/h and hitting it to send it on a target, then falling flat without hurting themselves, just to get up and start running again? Just wow.

I would guess not many of us love the UI, just that it’s probably makes trade-offs that work for most of us. I would wager that just about everybody has some aspect they would change if they were running the place.

For me, I like that it’s fast, is all about threads, is compact enough, reasonably high contrast, and simple. The lack of a reply notification is especially brilliant IMHO. Reply notifications lead to lower quality by encouraging one-on-one arguments that are not interesting to most. If you want that experience, it’s available on Reddit.

The change I would make would be to limit the width. I don’t usually like reading wide lines.

> 10-100ms latency feels like "you are using the tool", while <10ms latency feels like "the tool is an extension of your body".

Seems like that's similar to how Vim can feel so smooth to use, with experienced users not even thinking about what keys to press but just what operation to do, as the inputs can be combined in intuitive ways and the entire program has very low latency to do anything. Very different from "ugh, now I again need to move my hand to the mouse to select that bit of text".

It can depend on the vendors implementation, but usually they will provide the key in some readable form for the purposes of backup. If they don't, but do use QR codes, screen grabbing the QR code may work for the purpose.

It is possible however that a vendor can choose to obfuscate the key in an app or through some other method. Technically it's in there somewhere, but may be hard to extract. In the case of this phone however the only way in is to have a key.
Hmm. We never had those specific issues. For (1), we had time bombs for sure, but those usually highlighted coverage issues. Dev ops would disable your test and tell you to fix your code.

IRT (2), network dependencies were forbidden in-general. Over any long enough timespan, the rate of failure is 100%. If you wanted to use the network, you had to consider the failure case and handle it in your tests.

For (3), all dependencies were committed as part of the repo. All dependencies had to be reviewed for any issues before being used, so this made sense. You simply weren’t allowed to just randomly include a new dependency without a review/PR to add it.

For (4), our dev environments had less memory than build machines and the same as production. If you couldn’t build it in a dev environment, it wasn’t getting committed without special treatment from dev ops (and a really good reason).

Yes. Fines should be a percentage of income.

That's how we have it in Finland and it works. Fines are supposed to hurt you financially, not be a cost of doing business that hurts poorer people disproportionally.
For starters it relies on implicit zero values in the language. These are dangerous from a modelling perspective: if you have a 0 integer, or an empty string, you can't really be sure if that's a meaningful value or merely a default. This is a bigger problem than just error handling. It makes it all too easy for invalid data to slip into your system.

Implicit zero values are a bad design decision that cause all sorts of other pain. Consider the behavior of sends and receives on nil channels [1]. This is a fundamentally nonsense operation, but Go's designers are forced to define a behavior because nil channels can exist thanks to implicit zero values.

All the money could go to the park from the lottery if they set up the contract that way. Alternatively, they could set up a contract such that the park gets a fixed amount per visitor no matter what the auction price ends up being.

I think they should do half the tickets by lottery, half by auction. Lottery tickets should require ID and/or photo upload when you enter to prevent reselling. The lottery/auction operator should get a percentage of the total money, with the park service keeping most of it.

On the fence on this one, because it seems unfair to punish someone more just because they're doing well, for essentially the same crime. But... there was a drug dealer in our block of flats once who had so much cash he'd park his BMW outside the door on double-yellows, and he'd just pay the £50 fine several times a week, just to save him a 3 minute walk to the car park... so, perhaps a system of increasingly punishing repeat offenders maybe?

Depends on where do you want to handle a particular error.

For errors that you can handle right in the calling function, this is ideal.

For errors that should kill your whole aapp, may be do some housekeeping (like abort the whole transaction that wraps your logic to reply to this http request) and get reported to sentry, catching exceptions at some highest level is far more usable.

I prefer to use both depending on meaning of the error.

I had no idea about this either. For me this screams of a dystopian future civilization (which is apparently now) where even access to the outdoors has been limited due to overpopulation and is now regulated through a lottery.
