But it costs all of $600! Do you really think someone who just dropped $40,000+ on a ridiculous status symbol is going to want to blow another six whole Benjamins to enable completely unnecessary and buggy features?

And I’m sure that will be incredibly useful in 20 years when UUIDv7 has entirely supplanted UUIDv4 in all legacy systems (and you only need to sort by date created), but for now let’s just go with the best practice for the foreseeable futur

Won’t work if your ID is a UUID. Also, this is more generally applicable to any date, not just created.

You forgot the best part: It was colloquially referred to as the “Big Mac”.

Stressful? In what way is it possibly stressful? Because you have to keep an eye out for a receipt where you maybe were overcharged for something (but probably weren’t) so that you can receive a guaranteed refund to correct the situation

With Amazon Go you can request a refund for any item, whether you actually bought it or not, and they just… give it to you. Don’t even have to return the item to the store. I assume there are some limitations and it’s based on good faith, b

You can convert between blocks and Procs very easily. Ruby has several methods to let you do that, both as syntax and as methods. They are really two sides of the same coin; a block can be thought of as a Proc that is intended for immediate

I’d say this is more of an argument against camelCase (which does indeed suck in terms of legibility, especially compared to the much_more_readable_snake_case).

The official name of the country is the Republic of Korea. However, it’s common to drop descriptors such as “Republic of” from country names, leaving only “Korea”. South Korea is an informal name, used only when it’s necessary to disambigua

But that's the standard, isn't it? Better 10 guilty men go free than one man wrongly imprisoned? And since we're talking about lives saved versus lives lost, it seems appropriate to apply the same metric. So how many people w

Would you accept 1:1 for the number of innocent persons imprisoned to the number of guilty persons who go free? In other words, for every fairly executed person we can have up to one wrongly executed person, and that's totally fine? If

You're joking, right? How can you in one paragraph say it's not a violation of privacy for your car to decide you're too drunk to drive as long as that information stays local, then in the very next paragraph decry car manufa

I’m not saying Sam Altman ain’t quite moral enough to join the Army… but he’d definitely be on the group W bench, if ya know what I mean…

Is it possible that doctors and other officials stressed the importance of family planning and having fewer children to Ethiopian refugees? Almost certainly. Was that appropriate for them to do? That may be debatable, but it hardly rises to

A pity then that you blindly believe everything negative you read about Israel without applying a modicum of thought or research to it. You’d be sick way less often if you stopped swallowing lies like this hook, line, and sinker.

Most LEDs already blink at high frequencies to control power output. This idea just synchronizes the blinking.

Well yeah sure, but they count iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS as separate operating systems, so it’s really only like 98 operating systems, which is kinda like… pff… anyone can do that …

That is a terrible example of a reason to panic. If the programmer believes the list to be exhaustive and it isn’t, then the programmer is wrong. So raise an exception and let the caller decide what to do with it. But don’t punish the calle

> The one option he doesn't have though: Continue running the car as-is. And that's the point I am making. Exactly! So raise an EngineFailure exception and let the driver decide how to proceed. But don’t kill the driver because

I’m not sure how valuable these analogies actually are, but your example of the broken engine really seems to go towards my point. If the car breaks down, the driver still has several options: coast downhill, switch to a different car, pull

And why exactly do you trust a called method to determine whether or not you should be able to keep running? Like… do your job, you object. I didn’t load your library and call a method on you to tell me what the state of my system is, I jus
