This is fine as far as it goes. The problem is that the exception can only report context that it knows about. By contrast, the Go version allows you to include any extra context you want, to make debugging easier. Eg, your error might not just include file reading or Json parsing, but which transaction or customer was involved at the time. You can do with exceptions but you either have to try/catch every statement, or add generic context in one big catch block.

I accept it's largely personal preference, but having used both mechanisms for many years, I find Go best practices for error handling are simple and easy to follow, and results in easily maintainable code, compared to exception handling which doesn't really come with a simple set of best practices, meaning it is often badly put together or added as an afterthought.
Good advice doesn't really exist in the same way bad advice does, because the same things can ruin anyone's lives but everyone needs something different to fix theirs.

Sounds a lot like turning school into a workplace.

Sometimes when you want to learn something new you dive in and try to hack something together. But when it’s sufficiently complicated or foreign you cant do that. You have to step back and study the underlying domain. That’s school. Its an incredible luxury to do that for 16 years of your life while producing nothing of value.

Mainly, it’s about maximizing usage of my devices.

At home most gaming (including Beat Saber) is done on a nice custom tower that outguns any reasonably priced gaming laptop, meaning that if I bought a gaming laptop it’d only get used when traveling and would collect dust the rest of the time. Unless of course I sell the desktop and go laptop-exclusive for games, but that comes with some notable tradeoffs (fan noise and longevity primarily).

The Deck’s form factor makes it attractive for at-home use scenarios that a desktop and laptop don’t fit as well, and a such has a better chance of getting consistent usage compared to a laptop.

I think it matters who we want to write papers to. Right now we write papers and abstracts to reviewers. That's because that's how we're measured and that's where we compete. But I'd say that we generally believe that papers are written to other researchers, which I agree that that should be the goal. But as this competition is increasing we're starting to write more to media as this can usually pass review and gathers lots of citations (these people tend to be from big schools too which have large media arms and are willing to pay for articles in news venues).

This is why I'm deeply frustrated with academia right now. Papers are supposed to be how I communicate to my fellow researchers working on the same or similar topic. They're not for communicating to someone in a different field and not for communicating to the public layman (nor should they be!). It is the job of science communicators to act as the bridge between laymen and researcher, which a lot do a poor job as they're beholden to the YouTube algorithm, not accuracy. Hell, Quanta published a shit piece recently about quantum wormholes and machine learning and what did they do when it was called out? Just write another article and add a note on their youtube video. Nature is pulling similar shit. I get wanting to make science popular and exciting, but truth/accuracy has a lower bound in complexity whereas fantasy doesn't.

probably because it's 2023 and you're still regurgitating this superficial cryptoskepticism. there's been countless attempts over the years to answer your question, including on this website. if you still need to ask it, then the charitable interpretation is that you haven't been paying attention; in that case, you shouldn't consider yourself in a position to assert your opinion on the matter, either.

Feel free to use stable, plenty of libraries target stable.

At the beginning I was using stable without many problems.

Haskell is my favourite language (if we forget prelude, exceptions, strings and a few other warts) but Rust wins hands down on pragmatism and getting things done.
The tooling (cargo vs stack) is way better and there are more production ready libraries to do cool things.

Engineers at these companies are like little startups. Senior engineers are expected to take a general problem, nail down the ambiguity / get consensus, and own the project til launch and after. That includes writing docs, running meetings, getting other people to do stuff for you (approvals, coding), writing code, testing, and ops/oncall work. In this way, the role requires "vertical flexibility" - a lot of jobs in one product. It's not "horizontal flexibility" - being a programmer in a bunch of different projects. That's the general gist of it, but I suppose everything can vary given how big these companies are.

Still, we like to speak of all these companies in the same breath, but I feel like unless you worked at a few of them, it's hard to say what the actual commonalities/differences are.
I’m a first gen deck owner and am constantly impressed by the quality of the product. The hardware is good, more than good enough, but the fact that it is running windows games mostly seemlessly is incredible. Yes, I know wine has been around forever, but with the deck you barely even notice that you’re running through a compatibility layer. Performance and battery life in all but the last few years of AAA games is also great. The improvements here are marginal, but it’s great to see them making smart, incremental updates.

I’d love to see how the market would react to a deck in a console form factor, with similar input options to the deck (pad plus touchpads) and an APU comparable to modern consoles.
That's a ton of money out the door every month.

A related idea - if the circuitry around all 8 (16-bit registers) is the same...I'd wonder if the '386 might actually have 8 segment registers - 6 user-accessible, and 2 more reserved for the microcode. The latter mostly used when navigating some of the more "interesting" states transitions which the '386's paging / protection / segmentation architecture allows.
a capital 'M' microservice is a service that is entirely self-contained with its own datastore and everything.

"If people had no computers..." Most of the people here are tech workers our entire industry would not exist then. Would you have us all work in the typing pool copying out letters on typewriters to snail mail?
Want to also add that unless you want to stick with Pop OS!, custom firmware will need to be installed, that custom firmware conflicts with packages from many distros. Without that custom firmware, your fans won't scale properly and you will struggle with hardware sleep, battery life, performance in general, etc.

Ironic that distro hopping on a linux-first laptop becomes difficult. But, priorities, I guess.

Maybe being stuck on Pop isn't an issue for some, but for those of us who don't like a UI locked in brown and teal that isn't being updated because they are writing their own entire (also ugly) DE, it is a problem.
The difference is that those media outlets for men are usually independent small businesses run by a handful of people and not giant corporate media entities backed by large corporate advertisers.

Show HN: Moodflix – a movie recommendation engine based on your mood
Last week I released Moodflix (https://moodflix.streamlit.app), a movie recommendation engine based to find movies based on your mood.

Moodflix was created on top of a movie dataset of 10k movies from The Movie Database. I vectorised the films using Hugging Face's T5 model (https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/t5) using the film's plot synopsis, genres and languages. Then I indexed the vectors using hnswlib (https://github.com/nmslib/hnswlib). LLMs can understand a movie's plot pretty well and distill the similarities between a user's query (mood) to the movie's plot and genres.

I have got feedback from close friends around linking movies to other review sites like IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes, linking movies to sites to stream the movie and adding movie posters. I would also love to hear from the community what things you like, what you want to see and what things you consider can be improved.
The guy had a Ted talk a while back going into his motivations. I believe the main one was he didn't like how phones get between you and the world, and take you out of the moment. This was an attempt to make tech that isn't a distraction in your life but that fades into the background. That was his driving principle, I believe.
As a physician, my patients are continually stymied by the preauthorization requirement for CT scans and procedures by some insurors. This ridiculous hurdle adds weeks of delay sometimes. And there is no real quality assurance or data assessment regarding the necessity of the procedure. I have to call, go through a phone tree, the delays are frustrating and unecessary. I didnt go to school and residency for 10 years to justify a job deemed necessary by some corporate second guesser. This is just a process added by an MBA that adds no value to the patient care. It is the result of trying to apply Adam Smith's precepts of a free market economy to a. market where the consumers have no choice. No one chooses the illness they have. A capitalist model serves this market poorly. And the whole idea of making a profit off of someone's illness to pay shareholders is wrong.
I was about to cancel my order for a Playstation Portal after seeing this. Considering a bit further though, I really think remote play is the future as long as you aren't concerned with using the device on the go. My PS5 can handle games way better than a Steam Deck, the device is lighter, and the battery lasts significantly longer. Still a bit torn though, the Steam Deck appeals to the side of me that loves gadgets. It's a tough call.
Depends on how small it is. What I can argue for is that there are probably parts of the government that could be removed. Bureaucracy in Western countries has only increased over the last 60 years, for example. Rules are almost never removed.
Wow! This seems like a really good upgrade just for that screen and longer battery life. Time to finally buy the SD to play that ever-increasing backlog of games in my Steam catalog.
> It is legal to do this, apparently

I am extremely skeptical of this, no matter what this judge says. This seems to be a clear case of illegal wiretapping [1]. Having an illegal act perpetrated upon one, whether it is wiretapping or assault, seems a very clear "injury". It is baffling that there would have to be some kind of financial price attached to be recognized as harm by a court. A disgusting reduction of justice to mere finance, something I would expect from the cartoonishly greedy Ferengi of Star Trek, than a real court.

No, it's saying that because none of the information is transmitted there isn't a privacy violation - the law requires that a privacy violation actually occur, not that it "could".

e.g. that fact that there's a local call/message log on the car, and the car also has a mechanism for transmitting some data, does not mean that there's a privacy violation given that the car does not transmit the call/message log. That's the only reason this lawsuit got thrown out. It would be like saying "my phone receives messages, and stores those, and could transmit them to apple/google, therefore I should be able to sue them for the privacy violation they could do".
Agreed, very earnest style.
I can't see this going anywhere. It won't work as soon as you need to put a jacket on for rain or cold weather.
> but I find it difficult to believe that the most optimized, useful, and productive way to teach children about reality is the method we've settled on in the modern US.

You're spot on, it isn't. That's by design. The foremost goal of a modern education system is creating a labor force[1][2] that meets the projected demands of the economy. What is interesting to think about is that over time the type of workforce the economy needs changes and how that interacts with changes in education policy.

Don't get me wrong, there is value in trigonometry but I think classes on probability, statistics, and basic financial math like compound interest and so on are much more impactful when it comes to aggregate outcomes. I don't think it has to be an either or type of thing.

100% agree to all of this. There's an interesting balance of domain knowledge/skills/experience and potential/learning speed/adaptability. You are ostensibly hiring for the former, but the latter is a multiplier in a startup environment. A huge number of candidates will be in the 0-1 range compared to a more structured company.

It probably helps that this isn't exploited often. You're fine. To attack someone requires so much effort the clickbait article didn't deserve the views.
they demonstrated the fact that these academic disciplines are full of bullshit producers and consumers

That seems like an unwarranted conclusion. They found a gullible journal -- one that nobody has ever heard of except in connection to this hoax. Extending that to "the entire discipline is faulty" sounds like exactly the sort of faulty logic that we scientists are supposed to avoid.

If I wrote a journal article that consisted of one data point and drew a line from it I'd be blacklisted. Why on earth are we patting ourselves on the back for making precisely this mistake?
