"Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?" It's more like

Is there a way to have that integrated with a document organizer like this? I'm unfamiliar with the feature.

For me, Evernote’s killer feature is automatic OCR. (Subs that I can just upload a doc through my phone’s camera). It looks like this doesn’t have that, unfortunately.

The idea that the post is an advertisement is ludicrous, and they are being downvoted accordingly.

A human being's weight hitting the ground at 30 mph (already a generously high figure) is far less serious than a multi-ton vehicle hitting them at 30 mph (already a generously low figure). So, yes, physics.

People realized "considered harmful" was too hyperbolic, so they moved to "smell". But then it gets treated the same way, because who wants to be smelly?

I'm really really excited for and curious about the effect system, but isn't the effect system considered unstable except for any multicore usage?

I'm being flippant, because shell scripts are so inherently error prone they're to be avoided for critical stuff like this. If you _absolutely_ must use a shell script: 0. Use shellcheck, which will warn you about many of the belo

I've been meaning to try something similar for Kubernetes/OpenShift-- you can set up authentication (technically an identity provider) through a configurable HTTP header. My idea was having the reverse proxy only listen on the tai

wasm supports any language that compiles to wasm (or has its interpreter compiled to wasm). It's a bit like asking if "x86 assembly supports other languages"-- it supports whatever targets it!

I'm sure the commenter is well aware of that, they're replying to a low-quality, vague comment with a sardonic version of the Socratic method.

The problem is that you can still mutate a copy. But does the person mutating the copy realize it's a copy, and that it won't propagate? It's also hard to keep a mental model of which builtin primitives are values (copy seman

It is _entirely_ unmanageable for personal usage. The official documentation that the OP found and calls some of the most accessible doesn't teach you how to write a custom policy.

Folks are saying that sum types might eventually come to go after some experimenting with generics. It'll be interesting to see where it goes.

Definitely. But Go's boilerplate for error handling is an overcorrection from the implicit propogation. As folks have mentioned, Rust's `?` or Swift's `try` strike a nice middle ground.

That's slightly different, though. The first is "when this is true, earlier in the function, queue up running something at the end of the function." This is "at the end of the function, if this is true, do something.&quo

It enables one to conditionally set up cleanup within the function. If it was block scoped, you couldn't do something like `if shouldDoSideEffect { defer something() }` If it was scope-based, there would be just as many people complain

Right, so the concept in Go is misnamed. It's not Errors are Values, it's Errors Have Normal Control Flow. Returning errors makes many things more manageable, definitely. But where they really shine, like in the mapping example, i

From some of the industries that would be most impacted by it, and those impacts being ones that would cascade to the people who fly or consume broadcasted media? Yeah, they should be talking to them.

In case anyone is interested, here are my technical critiques of Go: - Boilerplate increases the surface area that a bug can hide in. The fact that most of the boilerplate is around error handling is especially worrying. Yes, the flexibilit
