How it's perceived is no doubt in the eye of the beholder. I can totally see how some people would associate this writing style with children, and so associate it with "vulnerable".

Why do undesirable or desirable behaviours need a sex/gender label at all? Asshole behaviour isn't gender-specific. Maybe people should just focus on criticizing specific undesirable behaviours, and praising specific desirable beh

It would seem magical if you think of LLMs as token predictors with zero understanding of what they're doing. This is evidence that there's more going on though.

Embedded DSLs are libraries. They are the epitome of the advice to write a library. It just so happens that the library abstractions could map to a language if you wanted to add parsing and all of the other machinery.

It does give us freedom. In fact, it arguably gives more people freedom, as non-programmers can create now simple tools to help themselves. I really don't see any way that it reduces our freedom.

Not wanting to hire a dick who can't keep a cool head and give constructive feedback is perfectly reasonable.

Or that was just a distraction intended to obscure the true intent. Frankly that sounds a lot more plausible.

It's not a different problem, my whole point was that letting exceptions bubble is not a universally acceptable policy. Sometimes you want to bubble, sometimes you want to wrap, and sometimes you want to wrap with information hiding to

The inner, wrapped exception is logged. Leaking exception details can also leak privileged information, and if you're not careful this can leak information to attackers too. More information is not necessarily better.

The arxiv should itself embed a review and commenting system, possibly even blogging. Publishers are archaic, scientific social media should be arxiv's future.

$2.3bn is profit after subtracting costs. Doctors charging time to deal with bureaucracy needed by insurance adds to the costs that are already factored into the revenue. Single payer wouldn't just eliminate the profit, but also those

They are very competitive in the places where most people live, but the USPS delivers to many more places that the others do not, and still maintains cost competitiveness. This turns out to be a decent analogy to healthcare: insurance compa

Exactly. You can believe the "main cost driver in medical care is provider (nurse, doctor, etc.) wages" all the live long day, until you realize they too spend a lot of their time dealing with bureaucracy. The true cost of bureauc

The dangers and pitfalls of exceptions are completely irrelevant if all you're doing is using an exception as a value and not for control flow.

Doctor and nurses are not bureaucrats. Single payer would significantly reduce the bureaucracy in healthcare, and simplify everything for citizens and businesses.

Sure, because of legislation. And legislative changes could undo that advantage and thus spur more innovation.
