My most recent manager was exactly like this.

I fully agree.

I think a major meta-problem with patterns is that the straight-forward ones get written about the most, and/or read about the most. Now we have tons of devs out there who pledge allegiance to some subset of whatever patterns they've come across. I wonder if that prevents/delays pattern transcendence to see the nuance.

Are you asking what A) the countries that meddle with US elections, and B) their relationship to the US, has to do with Israel, on this comment thread?

Does the UK or Japan engage in election meddling in the US?

Are North Korea and Russia "allies" of the US?

Can you point me to a language that encodes the handling of errors in a less verbose way than C++/Java/C# exception handling?

You're right about recover being in 1.0 of golang.

I definitely fully understand the trade-offs of returning result/error unions vs handling thrown exceptions. Exception handling is clearly superior to me. That said, the typical performance complaints made against the most common implementations of exceptions are valid.

The anti-exception mind virus of the 2010s did a lot of damage. Go designers finally caved and added panic & recover, but jeez, the damage was done. The whole ecosystem has exception derangement syndrome.

The convention of explicit error handling after every method call is absolutely bonkers to me. I would never use it for anything serious.

AFAIK this is called sleep consolidation.

For the few times a month I need to have two windows/panes visible at the same time, I take five seconds positioning and sizing them then move on.

Same. Need multiple terminals visible at once? New window. Need a few separate sessions? New tab(s).

All the bells and whistles people have shown me over the years... it never even gets close to making me think "oh yea, that's better than basic tab/window management and the terminal app that comes with my OS".

Do they build a lot of cinder block homes with flat, tarred roofs?

The blog post points or the flawed spacecraft? /s

Do you think sex and gender are the same thing?

TUIs are very in right now. Nostalgia/vintage-computin-aesthetics & guru-gatekeeping around command line savviness are front and centre in the HN-and-adjacent mindshare.

Is the Israeli intelligence facial recognition system in the room with us now?

The only comic worse is Garfield. I have no idea how anyone enjoys either of them.

Yep my electronics engineer dad was like "you cannot do this" but it worked! He got me to put an aligator clip wire from case to case so the grounding would at least be joined?

What?

Yes, agreed.

At this point I have seen many fantastical interpretations of what happened there. I assume popular US media coverage of it was a contributor there.

Are you referring to the "Freedom Convoy"?

Are you hinting at the lack of an `AsyncLock` in .NET?

Agreed. How can a media file sharing app possibly saturate Sqlite's write limit? I would use an app-level global lock on all writes to Sqlite.

Yep same experience here. And I'm in one of my city's most walkable neighborhoods.

Space War was great! Briefly in high school a few of my friends and I all had Palm OS devices.

I taught myself to crack palm apps and games, and with Space War I modified the strength of my ship. The IR multiplayer had no validation of parameters so I pranked my friends in an IR multiplayer match by one-shotting them all and zooming across the whole map in one turn! Great times.

IMO this project kneecapped itself by being web-focused.
