I think your post misses the point somewhat. One question is whether the thing happening is really unexpected to begin with. Why would you throw an exception when you know you're dealing with the file system and a file might not be the

I think a lot of the controversy dates back to the anti-war and civil rights movements. Psychedelics were outlawed to tackle the first, opioids to address the latter. Now there were "legitimate" charges to ring them up for instead

Why do so many people confuse supply-side economics propaganda with reality? Government interference in the market isn't socialism, it's regulation. It's not socialism when the government ensures that companies have to compet

I experienced exactly the same. I suspect that since they're optimising for engagement, already having watched a video is some indication that you'll engage with it again.

A lack of representation isn't the same as political correctness in my book. Political correctness to me is the cultural elite's group-think, mainly in terms of moral judgements. Nothing about that group-think says it's taboo

You made me exhale in amusement at this comment, because it is true to a degree. Do you think most people don't actually mind this kind of education? I'm asking because I'm baffled this is the way education seems to work in

I'd personally also love a config flag (enabled by default, perhaps) that offers more explanation about what the commands actually do as you run them. In other words, "explain like I'm five" logging or "tutorial mod

Interesting. I think maybe we should stop synonimising "business" with "management". The rewrites I've seen are due to changing "business" (read: management) requirements, that had little to do with an act

Excellent ideas! I agree with you on all fronts, exception git add --all && git commit. I don't believe those should be joined at the hip, because staging and committing should be two distinct actions/decisions. Defaulti

IMO, git flow came about when people didn't want to or couldn't abandon the idea of trunks in TFS. I've heard its benefits explained as "more security for the business", while in practice it only leads to extra comp

They can either be editorialising, in which case they're a publication, or they can be censoring as a platform. They're not currently regulated like a publication, so they must be censoring, then.

I'm relatively new to FP, so maybe I'm getting my terminology wires crossed. Perhaps instead of function composition I should have said currying and you would have gotten my drift. That is what you seem to be saying in your second

I think what they meant was not needing recruiters puts you in a relatively well-off and thus "privileged" position.

Exactly. In the Dutch example, "de Zwart" in the middle of a sentence would be a misspelling of "de Zwarte", meaning "the Black".

In this context, Dutch refers to the country The Netherlands, not the language. Based on my non-linguist opinion, I would say you're correct. Dutch people tend to not capitalise their Ds in surnames. When only mentioning the surname,

Market valuation is based on perceived need over actual need. In my experience, European companies tend to think they need management types - middle managers, project leaders, etc - more than they need IT (of any flavour).
