You’re severely overestimating the mental capacity of a large section of the population. In fact, almost the entire population after little sleep or on a bad day is likely to make mistakes while following your proposed scheme.

Yes, Your Honor, I did convince this teenager to kill herself - but 150 people a year die from coconuts!

Okay, but if you returned a wrapped error it’d at least be easier to debug.

An unwrap like that in production code on the critical path is very surprising to me. I haven’t worked in Rust codebases, but I have never worked in a Go codebase where a `panic` in such a location would make it through code review. Is this

It returns the zero value for all types, including arrays (which is nil). nil is equivalent to the empty array, which is why the rest of the code works as it does.

The fact that certain specific data centres are being proposed or built in areas with water issues may be bad, but it does not imply that all AI data centres are water guzzling drain holes that are killing Earth, which is the point you were

Most phishing emails are so bad, it’s quite terrifying when you see a convincing one like this. Email is such an utter shitfest. Even tech-savvy people fall for phishing emails, what hope do normal people have. I recommend people save URLs

Being a founder is a completely different situation which the article is explicitly not talking about. Although, frankly, even as a founder, 100-hour 7-day weeks aren’t right for the vast majority of people. Clearly it worked for you, which

Maybe it’s just me having low energy levels, but for me, I can’t fathom working 996 while continuing to do focused and deep work consistently. At the moment I work 9-5, a few meetings per day, so maybe 5-6 hours focused work, and I’m mental

“I'm 3x more creative at home than in the office” I think you mean “productive” (and even that would be arguable).

Into my heart, an air that kills, from yon far country blows. What are those blue remembered hills? What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content. I see it shining plain. Those happy highways, where I went, and cannot

I feel like Rust just isn’t stable or mature enough as a language for moving Linux towards it to make sense. Currently feels like you need a PhD in programming languages to use it effectively. Feels like Haskell in many ways.

This. Great, AI can produce code. But it produces code without inducing understanding of the code in the person who wrote (or rather supervised the production of) it, which is half the point. At some point AI will probably be good enough th

Censoring is different to banning though. Banning in this case is the correct word to use, censoring isn’t. You can censor things on a platform, you can’t censor a platform entirely - that is a ban.
