Waiter, this whataboutism is cold

COs are corporate politicians, media trained to only say things which are completely unrevealing and lacking of any substance.

This is by design so that sensitive information is centrally controlled, leaks are difficult, and sudden changes in direction cause the minimum amount of whiplash to ICs as possible.

I have the same reaction as you, but the system is working as intended. Better to just shut it out as you described and use the time to think about that issue you’re having on a personal project or what toy to buy for your cat’s birthday.

Which mail provider are you using?

I’ve found this to hold true in almost every hobby I have but particularly in technology, engineering and music playing/making: avoid hitching your wagon to one approach. It’s easy to get trapped under a pile of ‘musts’ when trying to do anything that you are skilled in, but that’s also the worst environment for innovation; and almost every innovation in your hobby of choice was borne from people pushing boundaries, not forcing themselves to fit within them.

You don’t. You just say you do so the more docile members of your population don’t notice when you start pushing untagged AI-generated propaganda

Star Trek: Wef Wef does sound odd. I think they made the right decision.

I’m glad to hear this because I read the other article on the day my Epson decided to suddenly take umbrage with my third party cart after using it without issue for 2 years.

As there is no other viable alternative for a relatively-no-nonsense printer on the market than Brother’s offerings it sounds like I’m not completely out of options quite yet.

I bet Finland feels Oeufal

If you think this is bad, how about the fact that Americans only have one math!

The time has come to stop the greedy hoarding of maths by Europeans. Let’s open up our hearts and donate another math or two to these poor unfortunate souls.

Batman. I like to add “duh nuh nuh nuh” and “BATMAN!”

The lack of ABI stability in Rust means they don’t have to commit to language changes that may prove to be unpopular or poorly designed later.

Swift went through the same growing pains and, IMO, has suffered for it a bit with even quite basic code often needing lots of availability checks. This may seem counter intuitive but Swift is in the unique(-ish) position of having to serve both a huge corporation demanding significant evolution on a regular basis and a cross platform community that don’t want to write an encyclopedia every time a major version of the language is rolled out.

Rust doesn’t have this issue and I think it’s right for them to allow themselves the freedom to correct language design errors until it gains more traction as a systems language - and it’s quite exciting that we’re seeing that traction happen now in realtime!

This too heading towards enshittification ?

As the article says, they’re trying to develop a standard like robots.txt that prevents scraping for usage by AI companies.

While I think this is futile in an industry that’s already dominated by oligarchical tech companies, it’s at least an attempt to make things better than the status quo of “we’ll steal your shit and you can’t do anything nurr nurrrrr”

This is basically a veiled admission that OpenAI are falling behind in the very arms race they started. Good, fuck Altman. We need less ultra-corpo tech bro bullshit in prevailing technology.

I’m so happy, cos today I found this thread

Kind of love this tbh

In a way

It will be where the error happened if you conventionally pass your errors to a logger that then prints the stack trace, which is virtually what Python et. al. are doing anyway.

Go is not a language I’m a huge fan of tbh, but this mild inconvenience is not one of the things I would criticise it for. What you’re describing w.r.t control flow for errors absolutely is though.

In go you can call, debug.Stack() at any time to get a stack trace. And it’s trivial to build error handling wrappers that can do this for on logging of an error.

I can only speak from personal experience but for me they jacked up the price significantly after year one and then sent my domain straight to auction after I decided not to pay. I respect that there are reseller-focused providers out there but they aren’t for me.

On the other hand, I’ve had nothing but quality service from namecheap for the best part of a decade.
