Why? You may just have been catching the exception outside both functions. Lots of actual real-life programs, even if it's not the cleanest.

But they could pass null, though. Clojure doesn't stop you from passing null anywhere. Also, thrown exceptions are values. Consider for example a function that searches for a file a return null if it's not found, which you are com

This makes me excited for what current microservices architecture systems will look like in fifty years!

Why not? The audience is people who are deploying JS apps. Such people likely have access to the internet and are able to google "smol" if they want to know what it means. I'm not a first language speaker of English either, t

Wait, who decided all software is now Entreprise Edition (EE (tm)) focused?

It's mostly GC and JIT and a huge amount of corner case interactions between them. And also the many supported instruction sets.

How do you count tabs towards line length for auto formatting?

In Canada there is some complicated formula for how much you can expense rent, based on the floor size of your office compared to that of the living space in your home and how much you use it for working etc. When my partner applied for it,

I think it's important to know a terminal text editor if your work involves remote servers. Then once you know one of the good text editor, you may be tempted to use it for other tasks. That's where people get into trouble. The ba

I have a physical SID chip and I was looking at implementations of players and ... was shocked at how complicated they are. I guess it makes sense though: SID files are tiny because they are in effect full C64 native programs that generate

As I was writing in another comment, I have a very clear deficit of attention and I love debugging! Especially when it's urgent, and I'm basically livecoding in front of other devs or clients, jumping about in our codebase, hackin

Oh that explains it! I never have to do this, because computers are very good at it.

I hate Teams and wish so much there was a better client for it. Why does is the "teams" pane different from the individual chats pane ??? Do I just have to deal with the sluggish UI switch every time I want to chat with my team? d

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36722157 I just wrote the same comment. My guess is that their debugging task wasn't really representative of real life debugging.

This is interesting. As a developer with ADHD, maybe I should try paring down my IDE interface. (I do take amphetamine medication though so maybe it compensates enough?) I find it interesting though that they describe "debugging"

I've been in such an org. The problem is that few decent coders want to do data engineering work, because they'd rather build software and because data engineering pays less and is kind of a dead end in a lot of org. You end up wi

Well I picked Java as an example specifically because it is a pedestrian "getting things done" language. I don't do much Windows development.

Also my experience. The only issue is that it's a bit annoying with breakpoints sometimes.

The thing is, by the time you have made the regulation strict enough to avoid any and all tricks Goldman-Sachs and friends can come up with, you've basically nationalized the companies.

It can come from a claim on future profits which aren't realized, which is the case here. When does profits don't materialize, the company goes bankrupt, the government rescues it (can't just cutoff power and water!) and ever

Exactly. In a better programming language (like Java!) you could simply use sequential filter steps to avoid all those issues, employees .filter(has_passed_probation) .filter(...) .forEach(p -> run_payroll(p, p.sa

Is it? I thought it just ranked the (manual) prompts against each other.

The off-resonance curves look exactly like what you expect from the Kramers-Kronig relations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramers%E2%80%93Kronig_relatio... which have very far reaching effects in term of refraction (t

I think one should just use GPT to generate the prompts so as to reduce the human input further still, a kind of gpt-gpt-prompt-engineer-engineer.

In my opinion, coding is a craft. As software has only existed for like 70 years, we are more like the guilds building cathedrals in the middle ages than like modern civil engineering. One day I think there will be true software engineering

Superdeterminism sidesteps interpretational questions by arguing against reductionism, which is pretty much the core of all physics. Where is this hidden information stored? What causes the specific outcomes in a destructive measurement? To

Isotopes are not 100% chemically equivalent and they form chemical bonds with different vibrational resonances because the vibrating masses are different. You can see those differences in spectroscopic line shapes including in refraction (w

Superdeterminism is simply the idea that all quantum experiments results could have been known before performing them, assuming a perfect knowledge of the state of the universe. It's one of those things that could be true and explain a
