Disagree. Semantically if you are wrapping an error it means you that you are purposely shifting the responsibility and declaring that your function is responsible for the failure. If you instead re-throw the error, such as if was an IOExce

Exploration was dead back then too. You could just pick up a book about the game that told you everything.

I find plotting two correlated but unrelated data series (like temperature and humidity) can be fine. But the article chooses the worst possible dual axis charts where both data series not only measure the same thing (GDP) but share the sam

The problem with email isn't due to a technical problem with email. It's because: (1) there exists a messaging system where you can message anyone else in the world without prior contact and (2) it is an open standard anyone can i

All these problems happen eventually to every spec. Nothing you will build can stop people violating spec.

Silicone is actually surprisingly expensive. I’ve done cast stone… poured into cast silicone… which was cast from 3D printer molds… which was printed from my own 3D models… and silicone was by far the most expensive part. It only made sense

Doom isn’t a simulation so changing a constant isn’t really an example of anything. It’s just screwing with some routines. Thats why most of the changes are unplayable.

I haven’t found anything else that comes close and that’s why I haze myself over and over.

I agree and I think that’s why I end up re-learning d3 over and over. But having to do it yourself is a lot of work so you have to make an executive decision between shoehorning some plotting library that can’t do a chart feature that hones

I like d3 and have built a lot of things in it but every time I go back to it after not using it for a few years, I can never remember much, the docs just confuse me more, and I feel like I’m back at square one. Whereas you could show me so

I had my stolen in the US at a music festival and this happened to me. I got texts from “Apple Support” at first then it graduated to a threat of some hitman from Miami who was going to kill me if I didn’t release the phone. Of course, the

The real problem is that hashes as strings is wrong. Hashes are typically numbers. Do you store people's ages as hex strings?

For me, the older kids doing cool things were smoking. A bunch of actors smoking never did anything for me.

The core patents have already expired. AFAIK manufacturing e-ink displays is still difficult. I also have worked with e-ink displays for hobby projects and you’re flipping tiny balls of ink. Unfortunately e-ink displays are extremely slow

In the case of the UAE, it wouldn’t be the money. It would be a change in leader. The current president (one of only 2) is the son of the first and he isn’t as liberal or as charitable, although his dad did create the country by unifying th

I’ve been to the UAE and they’ve been in a super fast track to modernization. In the 60s, the whole country had less than 90,000 people and now they are over 8 million. As a foreigner I could buy alcohol and this wasn’t even possible until

I’ve been having all my email addresses posted plain text since like 2005 and I’ve signed up on like every website imaginable (my password manager has over 2,000 entries) and I’ve never had a spam problem, at least on Gmail.

I’m not sure why this is so downvoted. I think instability sells it better to someone who is not sure if they believe in climate change because they can personally see it (worsening hurricanes, worsening cold snaps, hotter days).

The problem is that different foods have widely differently ways of spoilage. Date packaged is meaningless unless you exactly know the ingredients of the product, its ratios, and somehow can determine when it will go bad. For something like

On blind color difference tests, I score 100% when your average person scores less than 60%. I laugh when people say two colors are the same.

Apple is always honest but they know how to make you believe something that isn’t true.

I’m pretty sure that at the end of the day, it comes down to cost. The author writes as if people who work in this space are not smart. I’m pretty sure everyone realizes bollards saves lives, but are cities going to pay for it? Will constit

I agree with you but realistically most people are not ever going to learn that much about their job. The people who really know the inner workings of things are compensated accordingly and there will always be these kind of people.

Programming tools are no different. All tools are like this. OP's complaint is about syntactical differences and that's just because his team doesn't agree with him. And tbh, to me, the fun creative part in programming lies i

There’s a difference between asssuming and not making a distinction. Very few developers I’ve met know could make a distinction. They’d see a few off characters and think it’s some one-off bug but it’s because they’re both assuming an encod

There is no world where laws exist that are not subject to that problem. Cops fucking plant drugs on people. Just because all locks are breakable doesn’t mean that you stop using locks.
