41,801,600 | comment | jph | 2024-10-10T18:15:42 | null | > add assertions to your code.<p>Yes, and many programming languages have assertions such as "assert greater than or equal to".<p>For example with Rust and the Assertables crate:<p><pre><code> fn calculate_something() -> f64 {
let big = get_big_number();
let small = get_small_number();
assert_ge!(big, small); // >= or panic with message
(big - small).sqrt
}
</code></pre>
It turns out it's even better if your code has good error handling, such as a runtime assert macro that can return a result that is NaN (not a number) or a "maybe" result that is either Ok or Err.<p>For example with Rust and the Assertables crate:<p><pre><code> fn calculate_something() -> Result(f64, String) {
let big = get_big_number()
let small = get_small_number()
assert_ge!(big, small)?; // >= or return Err(message)
(big - small).sqrt
}</code></pre> | null | null | 41,754,386 | 41,754,386 | null | [

41,801,607 | comment | bawolff | 2024-10-10T18:16:08 | null | [Im a mediawiki dev]. Typically people use varnish for that use case. MediaWiki does support serving logged out views from a filesystem cache, but varnish is generally a better idea. There are also some caches out of memcached (mediawiki has "parser cache" in memcached which is the part of the page that stays constant between all users. Typically people use varnish on top of that for the entire page for logged out users)<p>Sometimes people add things to their sites that are incompatible with caching, which will make hosting costs go way up. | null | null | 41,800,192 | 41,797,719 | null | [

41,801,613 | comment | Washuu | 2024-10-10T18:16:44 | null | The reason behind Fandom buying Gamepedia/Curse is both a blessing and a curse(HAH!) that would require a specific set of circumstances to happen again.[1]<p>Basically during 2018 Curse's owners, Twitch and Amazon, wanted more head count for Twitch and to cut out anything that was not part of Twitch's main mission. The decision at the time from the Twitch CEO was to completely shut down Curse and fire everyone by the end of 2018 even though Curse was a cash positive subsidiary. That would mean turning off every single wiki with no transfer to anywhere else. It would all just be gone.<p>So the director of Curse at the time worked his ass off find a buyer for the company. The final options came down to The Verge, Wikia, and one other that I forgot. Essentially Wikia was the only one that could promise to meet all of the buyout terms and a two year transition period of employee benefits for current employees.<p>I'm not going to call Wikia a savior here, but without any company offering to buy Curse a lot of wikis and jobs may have been lost that December.<p>[1]I signed some NDA about this, but it has been many years and I don't care. | null | null | 41,799,992 | 41,797,719 | null | null | null | null |

41,801,615 | comment | crazygringo | 2024-10-10T18:16:57 | null | I love the idea of finding new and better interfaces for spreadsheets, and I applaud this effort!<p>That being said, if you want this to be useful for people in general, not just programmers:<p>- People like WYSIWIG. Markdown and the split-pane view seems to be something only programmers like. So I'd suggest being able to do everything, or mostly everything, directly in the rendered/HTML panel. (Maybe the Markdown panel is for power users only)<p>- This is great for working with individual calculations, but a lot (most?) of spreadsheet use is about applying formulas to whole rows, columns, and tables of values. I see you support basic tables, but they're a huge pain to encode/format/edit in Markdown, and I don't see any ability to support things like 200 rows x 5 columns and do things like calculate sums and averages<p>So I think there's a ton of potential here! But I think WYSIWIG and easy tabular data support are going to be key here for broader usage. While the kinds of programmers this seems aimed at now, are already using Jupyter notebooks and Matplotlib for this kind of thing. (Like, when you describe "why did I build this", I don't understand why you didn't just fire up a Google Colab notebook.) | null | null | 41,798,477 | 41,798,477 | null | [

The end of the new Alien movie is deeply uncomfortable.<p>You have to put it up front while the audience is still hyped to see the move. And it's a movie from 45 years ago that was so culturally significant that even if you never saw it you know what happens because you've seen other media reference it. It's a showing specifically for people who've already seen it. Special edition VHS tapes with director commentary put it at the beginning for the same reason. Which yeah, who even has VHS tapes anymore but its the one of the few non-cinema formats constrained by having to make everything serial where you can see the norm. | null | null | 41,801,582 | 41,801,300 | null | [

41,801,630 | comment | empath75 | 2024-10-10T18:18:14 | null | It turns out that "The remedy for bad speech is more speech" doesn't actually scale globally.<p>You can blame this on Russian and/or Chinese disinformation ops and tik-tok, etc, but the problem is more general than that. One of the assumptions around free speech ideals is that the people who are speaking or publishing are citizens of the community in which they are speaking or publishing, and now a large part of the content on the internet is produced by people who are crossing national boundaries, or not even produced by people at all.<p>You used to be able to assume that the vast majority of the content you're exposed to is produced by people who live in your community or country and would not like to see it destroyed, and now, in fact, you should probably assume the opposite. You should assume that most content on the internet is produced by bad actors trying to rip the fabric of your society apart, particularly if you're reading something that enrages you.<p>The especially insidious part of this is that most of the rage bait stuff plays on widespread personal biases so it's self sustaining after a while. People start to hate each other, so then they do stuff to each other to make each other hate each other more and so on and so on until you've got Rwanda. | null | null | 41,801,366 | 41,801,271 | null | [

Who'd a thunk it.

The youth therefore get squeezed out and emigrate, leaving an increasing tax burden problem paying for all the benefits given to the increasingly aging population.<p>My father visited his home town in the countryside in the last decade and found much of the town essentially abandoned. No one lived in the home he grew up in. His uncle owned an inn that had no guests, etc.<p>Meanwhile, Portugal remains a beautiful place and I will visit more in the future, and could even see wanting to retire there. | null | null | 41,799,016 | 41,799,016 | null | [

Same for the Iraq war, with "weapons of mass destruction" - imagine if your child died from that lie.

41,801,695 | comment | profeatur | 2024-10-10T18:23:46 | null | Yes, there is a public health system, but people tend to avoid it when they can. Most opt to go private for their dental, for example. And if they have any kind of systematic (sibo, ibs, autoimmune, etc) problem the public system is useless and they will have to travel to find a private specialist. On the other hand, the private system is really good here, and also pretty cheap. | null | null | 41,799,512 | 41,799,016 | null | [

41,801,696 | comment | mrguyorama | 2024-10-10T18:23:47 | null | >Even in countries with robust (ie expensive) pro natalist fiscal policy<p>Nit: This patently does not exist. Zero countries pay or provide anywhere close to the actual cost of raising a child, let alone the lost opportunity of choosing to raise children vs living a life dedicated to yourself.<p>That actual cost is horrifically high, but I promise you if it was offered, people would have more children. We WILL have to have that discussion eventually, unless we somehow return to a society where women are property and don't have rights, or unless we just outsource the whole baby making process to the places of the world that DO work like that, but people hate immigrants, especially when they are poor (for some fucking reason). | null | null | 41,799,454 | 41,798,726 | null | [
