> Regarding stack traces, it turns out you don’t need them. I strongly suggest a top level error handler in Go combined with a custom error struct that records the file and line the error was first seen in your code. Then wrap the error as many times as you want

So instead of a stacktrace, you are - tracing the stack? Am I understanding correctly?

Because it just sounds like a manual version of stacktraces
Currently learning ASP.NET Core, seems very well put together with quality first-party libraries. I miss Kotlin, but I suspect ASP.NET Core and Blazor SSR makes up for that.

Particularly excited by the fact that Blazor SSR lets you write server-side components. So I can have a statically typed language that lets me think about the UI in terms of components, and a DI container on hand for when I want to break business logic out into services. Love the flexibility all of those things coming together affords. EF Core seems really promising for persistence so far, though I need to play with it more.

Playing with their Identity framework last night I was able to get up and running despite being new to the ecosystem. Very good sign, most of the time integrating auth as a newcomer to a lot of languages ends up being way more than 2 hours worth of work.

Good lord, that's unpleasantly likely, I wouldn't like to roll a D100 for actual death. A lot of these are circumstantial, for instance I'm not at all likely to die of an opioid overdose, similar to how my grandmother survived the Titanic by never setting foot outside her village. But a 1 in 91 chance of dying by just falling off something? I wonder what that thing mostly is. Stairs, probably.
Is there an app I can download, or maybe a google earth plugin, that puts a big red shadow over places that are fucked by incoming asteroids or global warming?

>with isometric 2D graphics

I got excited because I thought I had missed something, but these are the same apps I've had for years. They're not isometric games, though some of the illustrations have a similar perspective.
I continue to love these books all these years later, and my kids have started getting into them (cheating and all). Personal faves are Robot Commando (where you choose from a variety of differently configured robots at the start) and Crimson Tide (which is nearly impossible to win for various reasons, but is really flavourful and quite a departure from most of the books). The Sorcery books took everything one step further and delivered a really epic adventure. Oh, and the Eddie Marsan-narrated Deathrap Dungeon is lots of fun.

There's also lots of fun to be had with Dungeoneer, Blacksand, Allansia, Titan and Out of the Pit, if you wanted a break from D&D.
this is quite similar to anyone familiar with prussia, berlin and the constituent national assembly of 1845 in the context of the historical power struggle between vichy merchant classes and their royal monarchs during the advent of the steam era.

it seems the same play is being made in 2025 at the advent of AI and Tech supremacy as it comes to a headroads with the death of traditional US neoliberalism. Tech is more interested in the monarchy, as was the feudal lords of old, and seeks a neofeudalism while the parliament of our time, the house and senate, prattle on like the Diets and assembly promulgating edicts and regulations that are either wholesale ignored, or gridlocked bike-shedding; fiddling whilst Rome burns.
Am I the only one who wants to see these things banned in most public places?
If that's correct, now is the exact time you should consider relocation. If there's a rush, you will be in trouble.
Bugfix =! rewriting code, though. Reworking an existing solution to be better is fun, but a bug fix often isn’t that.

(When talking about ”rewriting code” I think of a larger scale than for example three lines of code)
Say that to all the Ironman XCom games I've had ruined by a missed 99% shot.
The best way I've found to grasp an applied understanding of percentages at large scales for any layperson is to think of spelling errors by the percentage of words in a book.

3.1/100 sounds negligible at first, doesn't it? But now think about if every 3 words per 100 in a book were misspelt.

Think about how much more critical this would be in safety situations. What about 3 of every 100 cars getting in an accident on the nearest interstate highway by your home? Surely in one day that would be a historical amount in any major metro. It would be national news.
> An SSD that fails is likely to go into a read-only mode that still allows you to recover your data.

My anecdotal experience of 2 ssd drive failure was they were unreadable. If I remember correctly in both case the drive wasn't even listed by the operating system tools as if they were unplugged (can't remember about the bios/UEFI firmware).

Bottom line: do backups and test them regularly.
> you're not going to know anything because the LLM is doing it for you" which is easily obviously true

Not obviously true to me. LLMs don’t know everything, so they can’t solve all problems. You can try and give it the proper context but you still need to understand the context is necessary, which requires knowledge.

"PayPal and Wal-Mart have also had high-profile switches to Node.js. Of course, they’re comparing two completely different things to make Node.js look better. In these too-good-to-be-true stories, they’re switching from a gigantic enterprisey codebase to a Node.js app written from scratch. Is there any question that it wouldn’t have been faster? They could have switched to pretty much any anything and gotten a performance gain.

In LinkedIn’s case, they had proxies running on Mongrel with a concurrency of 1. It’s like switching from using one finger to type on a QWERTY keyboard to using ten fingers on a Dvorak keyboard and giving all the credit to Dvorak for a better keyboard layout."

Eh the movie works as an allegory for the Climate Change because they add contrived reasons as to why the Capital would be against blowing up the asteroid.

The root cause was a problem with the motherboard, though the exact issue remains unknown to us. I suspect that a component on the motherboard may have been vulnerable to power limitations or fluctuations and that the newer-generation motherboards included additional protection against this. However, this is purely my speculation.

I don't believe they simply lifted a power cap (if there was one in the first place). I genuinely think the fix came after the motherboard replacements. We had 2 batches of motherboard replacements and after that, the issue disappeared.

If someone from Hetzner is here, maybe they can give extra information.

This is the problem with people being OK with executive overreach when "their team" is in power. Eventually, and in fact about 50% of the time - the OTHER team is in power.. and may just push the overreach further.

As the measurement of the asteroid's position and velocity becomes more accurate, it's going to increase (still possible with smaller error bars on the measurement) or be set to zero.

Yes, proper localization will be probably be included in first official V1 version.
Yes but keep in mind that due to how trajectories are determined, the probability will keep going up until it suddenly drops to zero once its refined enough (i.e. the cone of futures can shrink while still including Earth - just less of Earth - for a while before suddenly it's accurate enough that it doesn't).
>but what, are you honestly saying that you're going to be surprised if WhatsApp turned out to be leaking data?

I once devoted 2 years of my life to developing a file manager called fman [1]. In total, it generated probably 35,000$ in profits, so my income from the project is somewhere around 10 $/h. As software developers, our opportunity costs are high. I use my file manager to this day and love it. But I regret spending so much time on it.

Congratulations on your launch. I wish you more success than I've had. Failing that, I wish you that you will see earlier than I did when it is time to move on.

I once recorded a video about my experiences developing a file manager [2]. Maybe you'll also find some interesting bits and pieces on fman's blog [3]. Incidentally, an article there is what sparked my current venture, which is much more profitable: consulting services around automatic updates.

>> hand one to zozbot234 then

> No

Then hand one to yourself.

> They are saying that there is no relationship to wealth by billionaires and helping "the average American," only that they can get rich by creating value, whether it be for one person or many,

I know they're saying that (or more accurately, that's what I infer...neither of us knows for certain what zozbot234 is saying). And, I'm saying they're wrong.

> and that it is not redirection but creation of wealth that benefits both parties.

Well, now you're both wrong because it is a redirection of productive capacity (which is the term I used in the parent comment) and that has drawbacks for "many people." That a few megayachts might have benefits for a few people doesn't change that.

> yet you misunderstood to thinking that they were still somehow talking about the "many people" part

Neither of use knows what they were thinking, so you're in no position to say whether there was or wasn't a misunderstanding.

> I still don't think you quite understood the thread of logic of the thread, particularly how their refutation redirected the topic of conversation

If they redirected the topic of the conversation, then I'm going to score that as a non-sequitur once again.

> If you do not know the basics of the economics of comparative advantage

Give yourself yet another non-sequitur demerit. Why? Because the "basics of the economics of comparative advantage" can't tell you anything about what was in zozbot234's head. Perhaps they don't understand those basics. How do you know they do? Did you ask them?

> Sure, but that is not this thread however.

I'm starting to doubt you even understand the role that experience plays.

> sounds like you have an axe to grind against billionaires which is biasing your argumentation.

Mea culpa. I do have an axe to grind against billionaires. Don't you? I also have an axe to grind against autocrats and despots. Don't you? Or would you score any critique of [insert geopolitical villain here] as "biased"?
“… found it extremely difficult dealing with bug fixes and feature requests relating to the other developer's code, who used a substantially different coding style. In the end we had to rewrite all our plugins for Construct 3, and so we ended up rewriting all the code anyway, which was particularly challenging given we hadn't written it ourselves in the first place and didn't have a deep understanding of how it worked. It's far easier now it's all our own code.”

I love this article and agree with almost all of it. However, this portion I find to be guilty of elitist programming mantra.

The bottom line is when you’re dealing with large code bases, there will be different coding styles present and the likelihood of everyone agreeing on a single coding style is virtually nil. Insistence on coding purity is an issue that can erode camaraderie in a team and develop into petty political in-fighting. Handling this problem in a tactful way is one of the keys to success in large code bases, as developers have their own styles and draconian insistence upon a single style can limit the talent that’s willing to work with you and your team.
Because you paid taxes on something that's worthless, which is the argument against this kind of tax: the value is too dynamic and hard to determine.

If paid $1000 for the stock, then took a loan and paid interest on it, then paid taxes on the $900 gain, and now the stock is worth $0. Now all I get to take is a loss on the $100. Bad deal.

> whether people are opposed to a higher power or if it's actually something that makes them reflect and see that there must be a creator.

I think that's a false dichotomy. Most people who are atheist are not "opposed to a higher power" at all. You have to think something exists to be opposed to it.

Founder of Estimote, Inc. (YC S13) here — we do beacons.

In Project Aria video, they claim to have installed beacons at an airport to enable indoor location, only to dismiss it as something that "doesn't scale."

Instead, they say they "trained" an AI model using vision from glasses, allowing for vision-based localization.

So, here’s an honest question: which approach is actually easier, more cost-effective, and energy-efficient?

1) Deploying 100 or even 1,000 wireless, battery-operated beacons that last 5–7 years—something a non-tech person can set up in a day or two.

2) Training an AI model for each airport, then constantly burning compute power from camera-equipped glasses or phones that barely last a few hours.

Well, possibly. It looks just as likely that it's nothing to do with the Amazon themselves and just a seller with less than stellar technical chops tried to auto-translate their products via Chat GPT.

Is it "slop" ? Well, it's not great, but it's probably not a deliberate attempt to create synthetic content which is more what I think of "slop" as covering.

I suppose Amazon could do a better job of filtering that kind of dross out, but it's not like they don't have other bigger problems with their listings.
