using `var err error` at the top is a sensible solution, I'm surprised this isn't the norm. As for dealing with the errors, there is value in wrapping an error with a message at the source of the error, but much of what follows is

I'm afraid I'm not smart enough to deliberately use sleight of hand in one of my posts, but I take your point. I'll update the post to address your criticisms and others from this thread. My main motivation for writing the po

Looks like a pretty cool product. To play devil's advocate I'd like to poke holes at two things: Product team caring about quality: Devs need to balance quality with speed, and feel appropriately ashamed when something breaks on p

After getting sick of using Golang in all my other side projects I decided to learn me some Rust and lazycli is the result! I've always found it annoying to run something like `docker ps`, copy the container id, then type `docker stop

I couple of weeks ago I did a deep-dive into JavaScript scoping and learnt a lot about how closures work under the hood and why we the `this` keyword exists in the first place. I wrote a guide that explained everything to my two-weeks-young

If you want to split a file into 5 horcruxes _and_ you require all 5 horcruxes must be present to reconstitute the original file, then each horcrux will be one fifth the size of the original. However if you allow a subset of horcruxes to re

Hi all, I thought I'd share this guide that I wrote after coming across some weird applications of array functions in my workplace. Hopefully you like it, and I'm interested in feedback :)

I just came across the term of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_abstraction . I think that term captures what we're talking about, do you agree?

I agree with your distinction, however I'd say that it's abstraction all the way down: the code you write is an abstraction of the business requirements, which is itself an abstraction of the business domain, and when you're

I disagree about the primacy of naming and metaphor here. From my perspective, the only reason the unix pipe is intuitive to people is that it actually behaves like a pipe. I don't think that the abstraction of 'pipe' started

In my mind, abstraction is finding a single representation for various things that share traits. If those things happen to be chunks of code all performing the same task in the same way, then factoring the code into a method would be an exa

I consider abstraction to be about giving various concrete things the same representation. In this case I'm saying that we're over-abstracting by pulling too much of the dissimilar code between the examples into the one representa

Hello all! Based on the feedback I've received in the last day I've made some improvements: I'm now making use of Samir's Secret Sharing Scheme meaning you can now specify a threshold of horcruxes required to resurrect t

wow that is very similar indeed. I suppose the advantage of mine is having no requirement for GnuPG but that solution is quite impressive

Originally I was using n separate keys, however switched to splitting the key based on advice from a redditor. I'll switch back to n keys and see if it slows things down much. I'll also have a look into ssss, thanks :)

I've just released a new version which works better with light backgrounds, so feel free to give that a shot and let me know your thoughts :)

Thanks :) As for TUIs vs web UIs, I believe so. The closer the UI is to the command line, the shorter the feedback loop and the more options for customisation. I'm someone who struggles to context switch so if I can do something witho
