Are you speaking from experience? "NYC" is a very large and heterogenous area.

I have a theory that removing the battery and locking it well is enough. I'm testing that theory by storing my electric scooter with a quick release battery (Hiboy x300) with a D lock and a chain in the same bike room my roommate has t

It guarantees you won't "lose that investment". Whether or not it is stolen is a different matter. Also there are angle grinder resistant locks. Check out videos of people testing them out and buy ones that they fail to cut,

Buy a lock. You should usually be spending 10-20% of the value of the vehicle on locks. I bought two locks (a chain lock and a D lock) totaling $150 for my $750 electric scooter that I just got. They came with a $4000 warranty for vehicles

The legally enforced monopoly on support is to blame for this, not well-functioning hardware.

This is weird to say when Microsoft has been very obviously inspired by KDE.

Average computer literacy of computer users is at an all time low. If trillion dollar company says it's time to consume more product, they must know something I don't.

Good question. This seems to be a more official IRS organization: https://github.com/irsgov I found a link to that organization here[0] at least, so this one at seems to be official. [0] https://www.irs.gov/

Interesting, Go is actually a language I tend to reach for when dealing with JSON.

by Zambyte 1y ago
That's really interesting, thank you for explaining that! Somehow I've never thought to implement interferences to describe types that already exist.

The stack is fully unwound before running the panic function, including the main stack frame. This will run all deferred deallocation statements, and pretty much leave you with nothing to do but exit. You could try to launch the program aga

Reading my top level comment again, I realized I did refer to the Zig way as "nice" relative to the exception style control flow.

Quotes are cute, and I prefer them over uncited negative claims. Can you link somewhere he actually said that? Because from a quick search I find him saying: > It should be handled on a case-by-case basis. For some syscalls, EINVAL shoul

Probably not. I have never used panic / recover in application code at least.

by Zambyte 1y ago
It is quite literally using the "recover" function in go, so I think it's accurate to call it "recovering". > this is fine I didn't mention the merit, just that it is exception style control flow.

Dumping the log somewhere, telling the user that the program is exiting, things like that.

I'm not as familiar with the Rust ecosystem, but I know it is used all the time in Go. For example, the standard http server library wraps user provided endpoint handler functions with panic handlers.

People say nonsense all the time. LLMs also don't have this issue all the time. They are also often right instead of saying things like this. If this reply was meant to be a demonstration of LLMs not having human level understanding

The article pretty much says this as well, but a concise way I saw Andrew Kelley put it recently in the context of Zig (but it seems to apply well for any language that has errors-as-values + panics) is: "Assertions for programmer mist

The bar for this excludes humans xor includes LLMs. I guess you're opting for the former? If you don't believe me, here is a fun mental exercise: define "understand" and "reason" in a measurable way, that inclu

Why not go all the way to the source? John McCarthy coined the term "artificial intelligence", and then invented / discovered LISP in pursuit of it in the 1950s :D
