The idiomatic way in Zig is to return the simple unadorned error, but return detailed error data through a pointer argument passed into the function, allowing the function to fill in extra information before returning an error. const

This really undermines the "trust the science" narrative. It has become much more about cushy white collar jobs, than the brightest minds being laser focused on understanding and bettering mankind.

Yes, there are antisocial people who disregard social norms. But there are enough people who play along to have a major impact on how service providers behave.

That is fun. And it's nice to know that everyone else on HN is about as artistic as I am.

Huh? The OP asked how a tip could influence the service, if it came after the service was delivered. It's pretty easy to understand, when a tip is the cultural norm.

You're asking how a tip can influence a server, if they don't know it's coming. But in America they do know it's coming, at least, there is a cultural norm of tipping being expected. So it makes sense that a server wou

I never said it had anything to do with inflation. There are a lot of factors, as I said, geopolitics, demographics, emerging technologies and industrialization, etc. But it is ridiculous to think that supply and demand has nothing to do

The limited supply is because natural resources (especially oil) are now competed for by a much larger percentage of the world (ie. higher demand). Even the population of the US is much larger, contributing to the same result. The outsize

> How the previous generation was able to just casually cruise along and live comfortably.. This is a very skewed perception of reality, one that we'd all do better to moderate. There was indeed a relatively small population that w

How does any of that change anything I've said? They explicitly negotiated the electoral college to protect their ability to not be overwhelmed by more populous states, and forever maintain their voice in the union. It is working exac

Useful to who? It's working exactly as intended. You shouldn't get to unilaterally change the terms of a contract. If both parties agree, then sure. But if not, you have to accept the good with the bad, it's a compromise.

The country wouldn't even exist without the electoral college. It was pivotal in uniting the states under a federal government, and is working as intended. Maybe the USA should be abandoned, and all ties between the states renegotiat

Here, it's not just about poor maintenance. Every single payphone in my city has been removed. They just don't even exist any more.

They always start with "think of the children", but that's just the opening salvo. The wild west days of the internet are definitely behind us. We'll be lucky if we still have private personal computing in the future,

I suspect that a lot of people who object to this censorship, would be perfectly fine with a game being pulled because say it glorified owning slaves, or if gameplay was explicitly anti-homosexual. Then they would see the harms, employ the
