It says the word exception right there on the sign. People keep parroting “exceptions should be for exceptions” like it means anything. Just because when it was first used it was given a particular name doesn’t really tell you anything abou

someMethod() could return an implementation of Employee that overloads the fire method to dispatch missiles. The point being, someMethod is doing some job that you want it to do. It is incredibly unlikely to simultaneously start doing a com

Neat, I like the type safe prefix idea. Personally, I rarely find I need ids to be sortable, so I just go with pure randomness. I also like to split out a part of the random section into a tag that is easier for me to visually scan and matc

Where I hit this all the time is when people have written various flavours of queues and item processors all wrapped up into one, where a timer or similar mechanism will trigger an item(s) to be processed. For example, a denouncing queue wh

The park may only have one rule, but the quiz has several , including disregarding exceptions to the rule. Yet there are people arguing here that rule shouldn’t count because they disagree with it. Even on a meta level, this is an interesti

From what I can tell from that documentation, you do still have to remember to call `client.release()`. There's even a big warning saying "You must release a client when you are finished with it." Presumably you would want to

The verbosity comes because they are demonstrating both how to write the library code to support the feature, and how to consume it. But in reality a lot of the time someone else will have written the library code for you. In this (still co

It pushes the extra code to the function. If you're consuming a library, that's code you never have to write. Even if you are writing the code, it moves the complexity out from your business logic so it can focus on the important

I think rather than dragging a region, which might get fiddly, I’d like to be able to hold down on a card and have it make a deck with all of the other cards it’s overlapping.

I found Dan McCellans video [1] to be informative. Two of the biggest problems I took away from that video are: 1) KJV is based on later revisions of the text. Newer works are based on newer discoveries of older versions of the text, and so

How often is this a concern in practice? It’s a question I’ve been thinking about a bunch and the answer I keep coming back to is that most of the time, encoding the type in the data exchange format isn’t actually very useful. So I would be

Not really. The gp is complaining about the lack of semantics about what a missing value means. `String?` still doesn't tell me what not having a string means. `String|NotProvided` or `String|NotFound` or `String|InvalidInput` all have

1) I need to count the loops to work out where it breaks. 2) It’s sensitive to refactoring changing the nesting. That seems strictly worse than labelled breaks. What are the upsides?

I think they mean: function addStuff(a, b) { return a + b; } function logFunction() { console.log(addStuff); } logFunction(); And have it log out that `addStuff` is defined on line 1.

The “sorry, there is no paper” error message popup obscures the order number. So if you missed it before the error message shows, you don’t know your number.
