You can set up a global exception handler in some frameworks. By having multiple (not a crazy amount) of exceptions, you can set up logic for how to handle that kind of error. Then you can just throw the exception instead of writing individual catch blocks.

This is especially helpful in things like a REST API where user input can cause all kinds of fun, let alone network issues, problems with your data source, etc.

This is like Dalinar and the fighting master from Stormlight Archive.

That’s why you set the alternate/exit cases as individual if statements before whatever was going to be inside the original if block.

To me too long to learn that.

If it’s not available as an Azure service it won’t be used (except for uptime kuma).

What Clive Barker movie do you live in?

Yeah. Commits going right to prod makes my skin crawl.

Took me a while to track it down, but I think this is the book to which you were referring.

I make no cleans about the stances of this artist; I just saw this strip years ago.

And in strange memory caches, even death may die.

Let’s not put Descartes before the horse.

Ohhh, that touched a deep well of hatred. My first engineering job was full stack and we had a highly modified Bootstrap front end. I’d build the thing they wanted, and the designers would get looped in for QA and insist that various pieces had to look like their little wireframe down to the pixel. I mean look, it’s easy right?

I asked why they are insisting on constantly going against the standards that had been adopted company-wide. Did it stop? Why no! Did I get a suit down with my boss? Why yes!

He is/was a cool guy and saw my perspective but also gave me precious advice on how to survive.

Pfft 😂

Roko’s basilisk is The Game for futurists.

Here you go, enjoy. You win!

Insert joker eating popcorn gif here.

Also uses ableist language.

I experienced this and still get PTSD flashbacks 😢

This screams Dresden Files.

As an exmo, it is specifically a ban on coffee and tea (not herbal tea, caffeinated tea). Some are strict and extrapolate this to mean “caffeine” and some are literalists that chug Mountain Dew. It’s very weird. As an aside: one of the names of ephedra is “Mormon tea”.

Honestly, I count using the four fingers for 1-4, close the fingers and extend thumb for five, then extend each finger again for 6-9.

The right hand counts tens and works the same way. Can count to 100, and it’s pretty intuitive. It’s like if positional notation was discovered way earlier.

Thanks for this resource!

Uh, no. The phone was made by workers. Workers laid the infrastructure and maintain the networks. Workers run the power plant and maintain that infrastructure as well.

Profit happens when the business takes more money than is needed to Do The Thing. That money is then given to people who (generally) have nothing to do with Doing The Thing. These people then take their extracted value profits, and increase their holdings so they can get more.

Either ice pops or the name brand otter pops. Ignore what others say: blue raspberry is truth, beauty, and love.

I mean, I’d put that sign up if I had to sit with my back to a door.
