This fix means that you won't notice when you accumulate other such resource leaks. When the shit eventually hits the fan, you'll have to deal with problems you didn't even knew you had.
These are the same noises that were made on the right prior to the election. As long as people are sufficiently mad about the status quo, the other party has a chance to take over.
I feel like that's a story HN and a lot of tech likes to tell itself, but the truth is that when push comes to shove they support candidates who are neither, but _are_ deeply right wing.
The actual lib-left side of tech evaporated. ACLU, EFF, even fedora-core atheists etc are a shell/joke of their former selves. The remaining ones (i.e. Stallman) back Bernie, Yang, or still buy into the green party.
I got mass downvoted earlier and a "talking to" from Dang in regards to me pointing out that a certain Ron Wyden having one bad vote about BDS/isreal isn't a good enough reason to throw the baby out with the bath water and turn against one of the only reliable techno-libertarians. This site is done with its purported liberalism.
I agree there are a lot of right wing, libertarian types, but I'm guessing just voting by the HN crowd would be a Harris landslide over Trump. For example, donations for Alphabet employees was supposedly 89% to democrats, 11% to republicans.
I mean considering the degree to which people on this site style themselves as intellectuals, it would be pretty astounding to me to hear that most of them voted for Trump this time around given his fairly disastrous economic agenda. Mostly tariffs—I don't really believe HN is that protectionist
There are certainly vocal and well spoken conservatives here, but by and large this site skews massively liberal. I mean just read this threads comments, ffs.
This topic has been written about in more depth by people who didn't try to work it out by themselves.
The classical artists color wheel is based on pigments. Printers use dyes. Screens use light. That's the whole reason why the primaries are different. The wheels are just tools.
Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green by Michael Wilcox covers the mechanisms behind subtractive colours (paints) pretty well. Also explains why it will never make a really bright green.
> But importance of the failure is determined completely by the program, not the library.
Exactly. I think this is the real crux about what's wrong with checked exceptions. It puts the responsibility to decide what exceptions are important on the library, where it doesn't belong. Only the user of the library knows that.
Isn't it exactly the opposite? Checked exceptions are for libraries to declare "exceptions" they can't handle themselves. You, the user of the library, have to deal with them (or declare them checked yourself¹).
I'm not a friend of checked exceptions myself, but I still think it's the opposite.
¹ which leads to the real issue with checked exceptions: they propagate through dependencies, if one nested dependency adds another checked exception, all dependencies have to add the exception or handle it themselves.
I don't think we disagree it's just a different perspective. The forced handling or propagation is what makes them annoying, but I think they're conceptually wrong.
It would be another matter if they were designed such that you could fix an issue and continue the call on the happy branch, but I suspect the cases where something like that would be applicable are very few.
It's more of an issue the more network-y and multi-cpu your ecosystem is. I find the post rather banal and obvious. The state is literally the how and what.
I have made ice cream like this using Gellan as a stabilizer. It's just too much of a pudding to melt. It's not really what you want in an ice cream. You at least want it to melt completely in mouth temperatures.
Wow. That's awesome. I could recognize most of the movements from the video... Guess I played a lot of Prince of Persia back in the day. It's funny how the brain can recognize specific movements like that, or like when you can recognize a friend from far away just based on how they walk.
I remember well the movement that impressed me the most. The elaborate changing of direction when running and then turning. It looked so natural, and it was the first time I'd seen that in a game.
Most platformers still violate conservation of momentum and let you change direction in mid air.
I can't imagine that a car dealership would even care, as long as they got to sell a car.
"Oh dang, you ticked the 'not a robot' box but you are actually a robot ... Ah, no worries, I'll put a call in to head office, get the paperwork changed. Well, enjoy your car! ... And don't forget to come back in six months for your free oil change! ... for the car, I mean."
Hm, so selling to a robot without someone behind to represent would be extralegal I guess, and if any problems occur during the trade you'd be on your own?
The closest thing would probably trades with wild animals. Are there any laws on that? (Probably not, but the situation is not unthinkable.)
I wonder if in the far future we'll have two androids pretending to be human and trying to fool each other at the same time, only for them to realize that they are both, in fact, robots
