41,803,401 | comment | scubbo | 2024-10-10T20:46:00 | null | > A function gets less readable as you have to go context switch to more and more different functions to understand what it's doing.<p>This is true.<p>A function also gets less readable every time you have to mentally translate from low-level implementation code, to a high-/human-level description of "what is this actually doing?" (e.g. `val := a[len(a)-idx-1]` - "ohhh, ok, that's iterating in reverse"). Extracting out common patterns to methods with well-known names like `Filter` or `Map` or `ForEach` short-circuits that repeated parsing.<p>> that doesn't save you from having to dive into each one.<p>99% of the time, it really does. If you can't trust something as basic and well-defined as `Map` to do what you expect it to do, you've chosen a poor library on which to take a dependency. | null | null | 41,801,275 | 41,769,275 | null | [

41,803,402 | comment | Alupis | 2024-10-10T20:46:08 | null | The reality is Twitter remains the figurative public square. You are being disingenuous if you are asserting financials are the only aspect to Twitter's value.<p>Given it's prevalence and importance, there is no way Twitter is worth 1/2 or 1/4 of what it once was. If given the opportunity to purchase Twitter - what would someone pay for it? What would someone pay for the single-most important and influential website/app in the world - the only one that has presidents and governments around the world make announcements and break news?<p>The mass exodus never happened - of either users and advertisers. This is flatly in fantasy land for Musk haters. It's amazing to witness.<p>So yeah, Fidelity is making stuff up. | null | null | 41,803,249 | 41,801,795 | null | [

How exactly and what amount of time, that is the contract you negotiate with your employer.

It's an unstated consideration - an externality.<p>Past 2024, we should be considering commute time (or at least a portion of it) as a <i>cost</i> to the employee.

If you lose access to your PM, the other recovery processes would take place.<p>It might help your mental model to think about them as identical to hardware security keys. Except now you don't need to buy a specific hardware key, your password manager is it. You can also just use your hardware key as your passkey, same thing (as long as the key supports FIDO2).<p>Specifically for your question on what happens if you lose face/fingerprint sensor. So this would be assuming you use Android/iOS's password managers, in that case even with biometrics failing you can just use the code you set on your device as both have fallbacks. | null | null | 41,803,151 | 41,801,883 | null | null | null | null |

I would expect after all those years mental health to be accounted in a serious criminal case like killing somebody.

And the government and scientists are magicians. So it’s not surprising when they blame the magicians for what is happening to them. From their point of view, their entire experience is dictated by powerful figures who create magical things such as “click a button to make stuff appear at my home with same day shipping” and “bring Napoleon alive on the screen”. I’m beginning to understand why they start to attribute everything to these entities who create such seemingly impossible things.

If one party has a gold mine, or scientists, or workers, or anything that produces net positive value, it generates wealth. If you retain that wealth and reinvest it, it can compound and this is called economic growth.<p>Lets say you, with your human labor, can use 10 bricks to produce 20 bricks. If you do this every year, your wealth grows. first 10, then 20, then 40, then 80, ect.<p>In this senario, You can trade with your neighbor and run a 10 brick deficit every year, but you wont exponentially grow your production and wealth. You will have 10 the first year, make 20, trade away 10, then end up where you started. You are sustainable forever, but not growing.<p>Your house will remain small, and the house of your trading partner will grow ever larger. | null | null | 41,803,203 | 41,799,016 | null | [

So we get constantly better Proton compatibility, including work on anti cheats, but VR is low to no priority. The market is pretty small, especially if you mostly worry about Index and related PC-tethered headsets. Also developing VR for Linux can't be an easy task.<p>I am especially annoyed that they more or less dropped the ball when it comes to Beat Saber via Proton.

You do not want to be beholden to a third party dependency that spawns a task that ends up throwing an exception somewhere crashing your entire application even if you don't care about it in the slightest.<p>You can opt into unobserved task exceptions terminating the application if that's what you are looking for, and maybe subscribe to TaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException event too: <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.taskscheduler.unobservedtaskexception?view=net-8.0#remarks" rel="nofollow">https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threadin...</a><p>Notably, this is an issue in Go where a package might spawn a goroutine with uncaught panic, like dereferencing a nil which is common, and you have no recourse to this at all. Perhaps it did historically make sense in Go, but it continues to bite people and requires more careful vetting of the dependencies. Moreover, in type-safe memory-safe languages uncaught exception might be a perfectly fine thing to ignore.<p>When you fire and forget a Task<T> and it ends up throwing, GC will simply collect all the objects that no longer have GC roots, and the finally blocks will be ran, and finalizers will be called eventually on Gen2 GC if there are any - the standard library and most community abstractions that interact with manual memory management through interop or otherwise end up being watertight as a result of that. | null | null | 41,802,543 | 41,781,777 | null | null | null | null |
