Yes, that’s the point. The idea that you deal with errors locally doesn’t work. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42038568

I see, sorry for the noise then. I’m programming since the '90s but still not sure what the correct term would be here, so, yeah. When we use exactly “pass[ing] [an argument] by reference” it usually means passing an argument by a refe

He basically simulates jump to catch by hand. I understand the authority of Rob Pike, but don’t understand why this idea is great. Processes IRL don’t look like write() three times. They look foo(); bar(); baz(); quux();, which weren’t desi

Isn’t the reason by chance how try-catch works lexically? I find that as another overlooked billion dollar mistake. It’s not that a happy path gets a crack in it, but the absolute monstrosity of a catch ceremony together with a scope torn b

Go has a philosophy to be simple, and this is explicit error handling at its simplest. You deal with errors exactly where they occur. “if err != nil {return nil, err}” is the opposite of this philosophy. If you find yourself passing err u

Lua is absolutely pass by value. You’re probably mixing container values with by-reference, that is a common mistake. Pass by reference means that an assignment to an argument updates the variable at the call site, e.g.: local x = 0 f

The point of summarizing is to condense the substance for potentially hundreds of readers into a sensible set of ideas in a couple of paragraphs. Any wise listener will stay away from talks that need full half an hour to stay “persuasive”.

Pretty obvious thoughts? Modern internet society tends to oversell everything of small interest tenfold. Idk why exactly he hates the hype cycle, but for me it is the complete unsearchability of the topic. You can’t find anything because ev

There’s a whole “fingertip moistener [pad]” thingy if you need it often. Cashiers and secretaries often use them at work.

I am not respectful of excel at all, true. I could see your perspective, if it wasn’t a client who comes by itself(!) begging to do something with their spreadsheets cause key roles spend all day maintaining these, blocking further growth o

We have concluded that we likely live in a reality where simulations are impossible, yet our entire argument is predicated upon the assumption that simulations are possible. These kinds of contradictions deserve more attention and I see n

Therapists suggest writing whatever is on your mind, including thoughts about the process itself, unfiltered. E.g. basically start with an F and how you hate all this bs and everything. If journaling itself is an issue, address it first. It

I don’t think it’s fixable. Excel enables chaotic “development” and it just happens. In the end we either left them with a system they ordered or bailed out cause it wasn’t worth it. Edit: to clear misunderstandings, I didn’t fix their spre

And does this get accepted in any western state? What do you mean “accepted”? Is it illegal to learn in a country even if it’s a dictatorship? Last two Kims and The Sister got education in Europe, btw. New kids will do so too and then wil

Idk, personally I see no reason for it to top it. IMO, it's a tenacious stereotype complex enough to stay unquestioned by most. And propagated by the same principle. These exist and can live for decades if ok enough.

It works in the same sense that you try asking a stranger for directions and he wraps you into a fishing net and drags you to the nearest mall whose name resembles your question if shouted into a bucket.

This simply equates OOP to all sorts of antipatterns, which can be done for any paradigm. “Look at all these functions and imports”, “look at all these types”, “this big switch is slow and error-prone”. Thing is, if you have polymorphism in

So basically it’s a presentation problem. We want to control code at the call site, boilerplate helps with that by being locally modifiable. We also want to systematize chunks of code so that they don’t flicker around and mess with a reader

I process large amounts of images for sd and also do simple graphics work sometimes. Webp saves some space but is slow af at saving, like 10-50x slow. So not even remotely a good tradeoff. Reading is fine, afaict.
