Why would errors as return values have to propagate any farther in the codebase compared to errors as exceptions? If exceptions can be handled, so can the value based errors.

Please don't be sarcastic for a possibility genuine question. It contributes to alienating the askers, not to mention the risk of some taking it quite literally.

This. So true. Yaml has always been an overly complicated format, with weird quirks ( like norway becoming false in a list of country codes ). I find it an absolute shame that languages like Dhall did not become more popular earlier. Now ev

The errors in the result might be different types and need different handling, so nested result might not be undesirable

Coding here refers to information representation. The term is widely used, and established.

Yes. Rice tolerated flooding better than weeds so it is used as a cheap and easy weed control. Also some places grow fish alongside rice in the same land, getting some extra pest control and fertilizer for free.

I've heard even the plain old insulin is significantly more expensive in US compared to Europe.

Sounds like a dark pattern to push people towards express. If the train changes how fast it moves or where it stops, that's their problem. The passengers should be allowed to get off at the nearest stop to their original destination, a

I don't understand how this is possible. Trains are single track in most subways and metros, and definitely do not stop before an already waiting train.

This is a bigger problem than it looks like at first glance. For isecases where llm + tool calls make more sense compared to say llm assisted codegen, figuring out the tool arguments is nontrivial. Where it is relatively easy I think codege

Popup on app open that warns app is sideloaded? There are simpler and more usable options that are more defensible than what they do today.

IP addresses are 4 bytes, each in the range 0-255. In binary bits xyz would be equivalent to decimal x 2^2+y 2+z. Similarly, bytes abc would be equivalent to decimal a 256^2+b 256+c. IP address p.q.r.s is decimal p 256^3+q 256^2+r*256+s.

How is that pdf made interactive? It has options to toggle the behaviour, which work even in an in browser pdf viewer. I did not think PDFs could do that.

This is hilarious. The most probable explanation is that it's matching the tvshow part, but a repro would be interesting.

It is probably not a bad idea for people that don't fit in to consider obtaining citizenship elsewhere for their safety. Some non citizens are returning, though many who are considering this are tied down by their work or other constra

There are a lot of people learning a lot of things for the first time everyday. Time and attention are limited and must be allocated, and sometimes that means you don't read manuals for everything. I've seen myself transition. I&#
