I have no problems with exception per se but what you’ve now done is push your error checking into the runtime which means your application could crash at unexpected times. This might be fine for your typical use cases but it is a terribl

Depends where you go. Some cities are very social while others are not. Equally some suburbs are social and others are not.

You’re flip flopping all over the place with your descriptions of tests. Broadly speaking, There are two types of tests being discussed here. Those are positive tests and negative tests. Positive being that the code does what you expect und

Living in both? Certainly not. However I would advocate visiting Scotland if you’re English. It’s a beautiful country. Likewise nobody says you need to be a full time developer in every language to get benefit from learning them.

Like I said, tests are also subject to user error. I’ve seen scenarios where tests passed when they shouldn’t have because the test itself was wrong. Or situations when test coverage was good but a basic type check seemed so obvious it was

Sure. There are additional tooling you can use in Rust and Go to catch a plethora of errors beyond what I described too. However if they require the user run them manually then they’re just as open to user error as the testing I also descri

It’s not just about code organisation though. Both Rust and Go have fantastic compilers which catch a great many dumb but common user errors before you even get to the stage of testing. Obviously this doesn’t replace the need for functional

Python and JavaScript are at very different ends of the OOP spectrum. JS encourages a functional approach while Py is more procedural. That small difference can - and does - have a profound effect of who you structure your code. These diffe

They have a historic point but you’re right that their description doesn’t make much sense given the modern way language runtimes are designed. A better description would be “high level JIT compiled language”.

Learning other languages is not a waste. It actually makes you a better developer.

Ahhh I see. Thank you for the correction.

To be honest I don’t think any of the complimentary colours suggested by this are complimentary.

Basically, yes. The upsampling algorithms they use are pretty good though so it’s passable for most viewers. But obviously there’s no substitution for having HD quality at source

The remastered TNG box sets kept the same 4:3 aspect ratio as the original standard definition. Some TV networks have aired a 16:9 version of TNG (as well as an upscaled Voyager and DS9) but they just zoomed and cropped. There wasn't a

It was never possible to reconcile those differing opinions. This isn’t like trying to agree which pub to drink at or restaurant to eat at - where people agree on a fundamental point of going somewhere but are in the mood for different spec

I believe people who have a permanent residency outside of the UK but held British citizenship were allowed to vote in the referendum. However I'm not suggesting that all those anomalous votes in that petition are ex-pats.

So instead you advocate we don't get what we want because all decisions are meant to be final? "I'm sorry, you cannot return this jumper you bought online because even though it doesn't fit you, you've already decid

That is literally how democracy is supposed to work. You have regular(ish) elections to appoint your "representatives" in parliament (representatives in scare quotes because they seldom represent the people). Even the 2016 EU refe

You can't really compare an internet petition with a government operated referendum. The point of petitions like these are to poll for public interest in lieu of a government sanctioned response.

I agree with your point about the OPs exaggeration of time ("over the years") however I have to disagree with your rant about "true wireless". Having a wire around your neck is totally different to having one to your pho

That seems really messy to be honest because you can’t then ensure flags are nested correctly. I guess for simple purposes this is fine though.

Yes I'm in Europe. You can also buy hot dogs that are not canned - though we usually call them "sausages".

The average user wouldn't buy an iPhone XS nor iWatch either. Apple have never gone after the lowest common denominator.

I few years ago I was was reading the back of a can of New York style hotdogs and realised the main ingredient was chicken. By a substantial margin too. Ever since then I’ve been sceptical about the contents of products I buy.

Yeah I got that. My point is that ‘workspace’ isn’t a Boolean flag in terraform. It requires additional flags to function, eg terraform workspace new granra ‘workspace’ is effectively the CLI flags equivalent of a submenu.

Their example here confuse me: https://github.com/celicoo/docli/blob/master/examples/terraf... `workspace` isn't a boolean flag. So it isn't clear from that example how - or even if - docl

This is exactly why it's better to get earphones that are designed to and come with the attachments. They have no problems charging and are more likely to fit your ear from day one.

The Sennheiser and Shure earphones I’ve owned have had amazing sound quality even at lower price points. But those were wired. I don’t recall them having any wireless when I last looked (last year).
