Correct. Although the performance characteristics are different. An exception in Java generates a stack trace, which is relatively expensive. So not a great idea in un-exceptional code paths that need to perform well.

The biggest problem is that people treat it as a dichotomy: either exceptions or error values. But that's a false dichotomy. There would be real value in a language which would have both. Error values are perfect for un-exceptional err

Is there any backend component? How do you know it's secure and you won't be hacked? Can you comment on the maintainability of the code?

All your stuff would be historical artifacts a century from now. Do you ever just throw anything away? You should consider preserving it instead, for the generations that come after you. How will they feel if they knew you just threw histor

Just last week at my job we apparently converged on a Kubernetes deployment to host a static site, due to company security policies related to publicly exposing buckets to the internet... I died a little inside that day.

It helps if you actually qualify statements such as "Containers are absolutely miserable things". I'm in a world where were using containers extensively, and I don't experience any issues whatsoever about which one might

Can you be more specific? E.g. refute something specific that the article mentions. Or are you only reacting to the title, not the article's contents?

It's honestly a bit confusing to use words to mean things that they don't generally mean. Retirement has the definition to stop working. One could argue that another definition may be that you reach an older age and start receivin

Well, something fishy is going on because there is literally no way that Safari, in its entirety, is 5.1 MB. The numbers for the others app seem similarly off. It would be really hard to believe that somehow Apple has found some magic formu

What were you using before that? I never see any ad in Firefox with uBlock Origin. I can't imagine it's much of a difference experience than with Brave.

Having general knowledge about the tools you're working with is not a distraction, it's an intellectual enrichment in any case, and can be a valuable asset in specific cases.

Since it's an AI company, and not actually doing anything by hand, it wouldn't surprise me if they came up with the name "manus" because it has "anus" in it, and then designed the hand logo due to the Latin mea

As an aside, I really don't like these kinds of titles. They presume a lot about the (potential) reader without knowing anything about them. And it sounds like it's stating some kind of a fact but it really isn't. Different p

> Should only “top-level” code ever log an error? That can make it difficult to identify the low-level root causes of a top-level failure. Some languages (e.g. Java) include a stack trace when reporting an error, which is extremely usefu

In Google Cloud Bigtable we had the issue that our domain's primary key was a sequential integer autogenerated by another app. So we just reversed it, and it distributed automatically quite nicely.
