this game was so next level at the time.

i know - i was pointing out that your argument actually didn't lend itself either way and can just as easily mean the opposite.

The sky is blue today i eat prawns

so you agree it should be showed after?

so many people say this as if it is a sufficient rebuke of the whole point. OP agrees with you - the point is show it after.

I only pick on you because many people responded but at one time HN had people with critical reasoning skills reading

yay radioactive shit falling from space again

i dev on main in teams we build in environments that are very prod like we have tests that verify code that has been deployed - no matter the location on startup we build test and deploy from local machines (and test because startup)_- this is very reliable or else our tests woudl regularly fail because of this we push to main after our deploy has worked

ofc this only works on smallish teams that push / pull very regularly and have good communication around who is deploying when.

it used to be a shout over a desk partition.

we go faster than you and break far far less than you

they did linq badly after linq2xml and linq2sql

I feel like you missed the main point of what you are saying.

Whilst existing callers who obey the contract will not be broken by this callers who depend upon this code breaking for null values will no longer do so.

so it is a breaking change for them. You have just extended their behaviour.

That said if we defined the functionality of code as being valid within a scope of input and not defined anything outside of this we are safer in a sense. That said you do require feedback to show you are out of range.

But the point I want to make is that the line of argument that attempts to ascribe changes to behaviour on values that were out of scope as breaking changes is not helpful to anyone who is trying to co-exist via contracts in order to understand what work is expected as a result of change.

someone built my game!

so the half life of uranium 235 is 235,000 years and you have a graph of something with a half life of 300 years...

i am pro nuclear btw

exactly because delivery experts put in PR processes and QA processes in different teams to do this

complete abdication of responsibility

most of what developers have to ship is not in their control - very often teams are not responsible for defining what they do or how they do it now.

I wish you were right because it can be fixed by looking at developers but its the entire snake oil industry of deciding what to do that is the problem

its like using the army to watch over kids crossing the road to school Many other source control systems with far simpler systems

this whole branch and pr into merge process didn't exist 10 years ago like it does now. It started from open source and low trust - but nobody stopped to ask what problem it solves.

If somebody needs to check your code as part of a formal process - rather than some arbitrary invitation you issue in special cases - you shouldn't of been hired with the job of writing code.

Kids wont listen to you kids don't care how much you have thought about something the way you are has more to do with who you are not what you think and the way they will be is more like what you are Your kids spend most of their time with people who are not you

control and choice is an illusion that follows a chain of high pressure, highly emotional situations.

Get a dog - learn to train it. Having kids is like that - except its cleverer than you, doesn't want to make you happy all the time and wages psychological warfare to figure out how to get what it wants at all times. Or at least the fun kids that will make you wish you had a plan in retrospect will.

When you have a second kid you will do things differently - you will be wrong then too. good luck

your kids wont like what you do - they are not you and they will value different things to you.

Help them discover that and support that - unless they don't want to. they wont.

My best advice would be to get good at minecraft.

html isnt a programming language though is it

apples and pairs

Amazes me that so many people dont understand that if all things are dependant upon your business logic or on your domain then this is natural. Its natural hex architecture

but this is far nicer way of saying the same thing https://ericlippert.com/2008/09/10/vexing-exceptions/

I actually do not think your code should throw exceptions. It is really just an Either / result and then if something does blow its because you havent anticipated it via wrapping something in an either or result ... and so it should blow and the callers of your library should be submitting a defect..

do you have any data to support that?

the only time most companies will do this is if you goto their competitors.

OP problem is predicated on this being a thing that is useful to tech in general not a particular market

allow list

I would expect wikipedias to be more accurate than teachers.

I am a software engineer who spends his life showing people the origional sources of information to help them unpick collective repeated misunderstandings. That takes me, with more experience that my team combined to do that.

teachers have experience of teaching - not possessing knowledge or the practises of sifting, applying and validating their hypothesis aroudn the veracity of information.

Most curriculums are out of date in ways that don't matter all that much. But i still rekon wikipedia is still more up to date than them.

my 10yo and my 8yo loved this

Great game

I agree i don't think i have seen constraint as a game quite like this before

surley brain in a jar is the more logical outcome?

but you are saying you dont have a choice about that

i dont really see how you can say free will is an illusion so you shouldnt do something.

Thats a direct contradiction

what if you insisted that database down time for migrations was not acceptable and that your code needs to work with different versions of database (this can be adapters)?

stop reigning in people and figure out how to help them grow in ways you wouldn't

I love how people keep discovering mermaid because i remember when i did many many years ago and it still brings me happiness today.

problem is that salary growth in last 5 years has been crazy

A senior engineer with 10 years exp 5 years ago made £35. Now someone out of a 6 month bootcamp can ask for that.

That doesn't even get into all the other roles that have popped up liker product / delivery which dilute engineer contributions and narrow their skillset - which someone in their 40's has.

im sorry do web results have 3 pages?

how much time do you have to browse a bad search hit?

because spotify has done so many wonderful things for musicians ... oh wait no it hasnt
