> You have no idea what throws and what doesn’t The answer here is that everything throws. Any code can have a Null/Nil dereference error, any code can use an array and generate an out-of-bounds exception, etc.

Surely this would all go away if Go had an exception handling mechanism like most mainstream languages do? You'd just concentrate on the "happy path", you'd close the file, there'd be nothing to forget or write blog

One thing I’ve noticed in startups is that investors will demand of CEOs things such as “you need to hire a team of 10 developers” whether that’s really needed or not. It’s just easier for that CEO to hire 10 full-time people than 20 part-t

Anything that relies on files having names like 0001-foo isn't going to work nicely if you are using Git, merge/pull requests and branches, with developers working on features independently. I'm going to see that 0024 was the

Re: Hugo Be aware that the templating language is a bit difficult to learn if you're not already a Go programmer. The documentation is spread across the text/template and html/template Godoc and also Hugo's documentation

That $40k price tag from 1989, with inflation, is about $100k today. That's quite something for a TV!

It seems they didn't address hallucination at all? Presumably this hallucinates as much as any other AI (if it didn't, they'd have mentioned that). So how can you delegate tasks to something that might just invent stuff, e.g.

It's interesting you phrase it that way, because that's sort of how DuckDuckGo works with their !g searches. I'm not saying that's good or bad, it's just an observation.

How do these work? You presumably must have to pair the phone with the headphones, thus breaking any illusion the user might have that they're wired headphones?

Agreed, that is how I did it. My previous employer at that time was a startup with about 100 people. Unfortunately the startup imploded (that was why I left) so I suddenly know about 100 people who were all working at different companies, m

I feel if there's more nuance on the urgency dimension than just "urgent" and "not urgent". I judge problems in the urgency dimension by "what will happen if I don't do this?" Will my boss be angry at

The way concurrency works is pretty unique amongst mainstream languages. Java has just copied some parts of how concurrency works in Go, but that's nearly 20 years after Go was released. It's extremely easy to start up code concur

Is there any evidence of this being true? The article does not like to a source, and I've just checked Elon Musk's twitter account and he doesn't seem to have mentioned it.
