If the tool does the task for you, then you didnt do the task. I don't keep my food cold, my refrigerator does. I just turned it on. This doesn't matter unless I am for some reason pretending I myself am keeping my food cold someh

Trying to use the New Testament as a paragon of enlightened thinking, especially regarding slavery, is going to be a tough sell.

I imagine his memory and those of people who memorized instead of wrote were better. So by that metric, writing is making people dumber. It's just not all that relevant today, and we don't prioritize memorization to the extent P

A couple things. 1. The early Church, including some Apostles, thought "the end times" were imminent. People have not stopped thinking this for 2000 years. I think the conclusion here is obvious. 2. Anti-abortion laws, especially

The comment is a joke, but Texas absolutely has dystopian laws about abortion, making it illegal to go to another state for one.

That sounds like a job for a very small number of people. Where will everyone else work?

Exactly the kind of idea I was trying to get at in my sibling comment, thanks for posting it.

It's really not an either/or proposition. Humans have used a much larger variety of systems of social and economic organization than capitalists would have you believe. We have innovated as a species in so many ways, like putting

I am generally anti-capitalist, and a big reason is because I don't think capitalism, inherently and fundamentally, can become anything other than what it is now. The benefit its provided is rarely accurately weighed against the harms,

I agree 100%. The point though is that Trump and friends aren't doing this with the food supply or security in mind. This is pure authoritarianism and red meat for his racist base.

The point still stands that people who committed "illegal entry" are the backbone of our society. This whole immigration crackdown is about racism, not law and order. They would go after the employers of these immigrant if they ac

I assumed this was going to be about US Senator Rick Scott, because that's who comes to mind when I hear "massive Medicare fraud". But there seems to be a new contender for the title now.

George Washington was the first president to take military action without congressional approval, so on the sense of precedent providing legality, it's quite an old concept.

This is the true problem with AI. It's with who owns it, and what they will inevitably use it for. Whether it can do cool stuff with code or equal a junior developer is irrelevant. What it can do is less important than what it will be

If I found an application by some random developer, whose purpose was completely unrelated, doing this, I would categorize it as malware, or spyware at the very least. By Facebook does it, and it's a "miscommunication." I hav

I would love something like this, and if it exists, I've not come across it. Offloading a way of differentiating error handling syntax vs. normal code to the IDE seems like a nice way of handling this issue.

by Refreeze5224 1y ago
I don't really understand this decision. They know from developer surveys that verbose and repetitive error handling is literally the number 1 issue. Seeking the perfection of syntax that everyone agrees on seems to be the enemy of pro
