No sane optimizer is going to emit the functional code as a gajillion function calls.

You don't ever need to "understand everything at once". You can read each stanza linearly. The for loop style is the approach where everything often needs to be understood all at once since the logic is interspersed through

This has happened so many times for me. The latest one for me was a discussion about the Olympic boxer from Algeria. Apparently it was proven through leaked medical records that she does, in fact, have XY chromosomes. I did some digging.

Does Europe lessening their desire to buy US-designed and US-made military hardware benefit or harm the US? Extend this to other areas of commerce. If the US is no longer a reliable trade partner and its allies lessen their economic ties, i

It’s more emergent than official. It’s not something I think is ever taught in school and yet everyone intuits it with high accuracy. Even crazier is that we intuitively mix this rule with another implicit rule, where “I” sounds go before “

You misspelled “willful and blatant misinformation”. It is terrifying that you can’t see the material difference between uninformed fearmongering over vaccines and posting something unflattering about Donald Trump. Even then, please point

There are hundreds of channels on YouTube providing everything a child needs to learn arithmetic and reading skills. Why should we even provide K-12? I consider this a matter of extreme importance. Your gutter-tier hot take makes me think y

This line of reasoning can be used, unmodified, to argue against essentially all of public education. An educated populace is an inherent good. There’s nothing magic about the particular choice of K-12, and one could very convincingly argue

Also restricting videos that parody him. The right believes in “free speech for me but not for thee”. Which isn’t compatible with any good faith attempt at a definition.

When I say “the golang community” I mean “the people online who talk about golang”. I don’t mean the actual maintainers.

The golang core team may be working to crack that nut, but right up until that happens the community mantra will be: what we have right now is perfect. When it’s released, this will shortly become: we always wanted something better, it was

This shows that ten years ago even the guy who invented the language thought error handling wasn’t in a good state and that it was expected that golang programmers would find elegant ways to build on top of the primitives provided. No such

by stouset 2y ago
I’ll be honest, having been involved off and on with golang over 10+ years, I constantly feel like I’m being gaslit. It’s fine that golang has made missteps along the way and course corrects. Or if people realize that some hoped-for devel

Sometimes you don’t even want to recover, just do something like log it remotely so it can be seen and debugged. Sometimes it can’t reasonably be handled until some natural boundary. A server that handles multiple connections at once can pr

by stouset 2y ago
I remember when Rob Pike wrote an essay insisting that `if err != nil` isn’t all that common and golang programmers clearly would wrap that logic in more fluid interfaces which would prevent the redundant boilerplate.

by stouset 2y ago
Your editor doesn’t do it because handling, delegating, and slicing up capabilities isn’t a core part of the OS.

Your perspective is coming from a very rigid all-or-nothing mentality and I don’t think it’s wise to see things that way. Sure, a web browser that needs to open arbitrary network connections can be built to phone home. But nearly none of

Some things are. Some things aren’t. At one point, you could write nil, err without the return and it would happily compile. It’s also tragically easy for actual logic bugs to be obscured by all the boilerplate. It’s not like th

Appropriately for the topic, I tailored the level of consideration to just barely exceed that of your original argument. So, next to none.

Might I suggest reading about the normal distribution? Or, I don’t know, perhaps giving slightly greater consideration to the people in this thread who’ve actually worked on physical device engineering?

The difference is, there is no room for bugs with ?. Zero. None. I have fixed (and frankly, caused) many bugs in golang code where people’s brains “turned off the noise” and filtered out the copypasta’d error handling, which overwrote the w

I would one million percent rather type (and read) foo(bar()?)? over something like if a, err := bar() { return nil, err } if b, err := foo() { return nil, err } But also even better is just

by stouset 2y ago
Even something like foo::<‘_, [T]>() is just not that hard to follow. Again, the symbols involved all compose nicely and are unambiguous. And frankly, you just don’t need something like that all that often (and when you do, there are
