My biggest complaint about go error handling is that it's impossible to enumerate all of the errors that a function has returned. I have a use case to translate these into user facing errors for external use and find it a nightmare to

I'm surprised they don't have a couple of separate clusters that they roll things out to and monitor. Seems like you could have a very stable "high paying customers" cluster that is at the very end of your deployment cyc

What was really interesting in this article was the mentioning of "the decline in EROI is an underlying driver of the decline in economic growth". If we can remove our dependency on fossil fuel energy, then we can turn around econ

I started programming in normal languages before I did a mindstorms based project for a robotics lab at university. Going in the other direction is just as jarring because of how limited the block based system felt. It's also just a cl

This is so exciting to see! I'm excited about the internal changes to MRI to unlock even bigger performance. I'd also love to see some research on what FFI changes would be helpful for enabling more performance across the FFI boun

I worked on Ruby code at Stripe using Sorbet and currently work in a Go code base full time now! Sorbet is pretty incredible and IMO was a huge benefit in a massive code base. Not having to worry about nil checks and always knowing the shap

I think that's giving too much credit to people. I think some people would answer that way, but a whole lot will just respond with exactly the answer that resolves the question.

Apple should let a user disable physical backups / exports of data from a phone. If you hand over a device and there is no way to image it, is there really a problem? This doesn’t solve the “this is messed up and shouldn’t happen at al

I wish Google would build an OAuth flow that would provide an obfuscated and unique email address to services that need an email address for logins or any communication at all.

They have a 2 days no questions asked return policy, including paint. We had plenty of time to inspect ours and then do an even deeper inspection at home. The car is nearly perfect!

Ah, yeah I see it now. It wasn't listed in the FAQ which would be useful. That's a slight bummer because now there's another service dependency in your authentication flow. It's probably pretty rare that SQS will go down

Power companies should really be petitioning the federal government to continue EV subsidies and help market them to create more demand. Generally this seems like a temporary phenomenon until EVs start to come online in en masse.

I think the question is whether or not this expands the market more than it takes away share from Tesla. I think it's a bit of both, but hoping that it leans more towards expansion than cannibalization.

100% this. Just going by as frequently and consistently as you can is so important. Even if it’s just to walk 10 minutes on a treadmill, you’ll get more comfortable with doing it every day.

You can imagine a user doing both. Daily commutes get handled by the scooter you own. Evening / Weekend events get handled by the rentals when you don't want to lug it around all day. There's definitely space for both. (Think

Heh yeah. I assume that the cost structure will be something like $0.70 / mile for single person rides, and then dramatically dropping it for carpooled rides. If the cost structure is accurate, then this could really take a way the nee
