Make it have to follow the same regulations as other currencies and banks. If it looks like currency, and functions like currency, maybe it should be considered currency.

I’m just going to comment on the face value of the title itself, and make assumptions otherwise.
Exceptions are control flow mechanism. I.e. that can be used for code execution flow, in the same application.
Error codes are useful across some API boundary.
Does this adequately cover whatever it is they figured out was a good tradeoff?
I think your example is pretty good. The important detail is that the timetable for Bulgaria, would be fairly similar to your own, except it has some kind of offset, which would be more or less exactly what the time zones express. So, instead of everyone that want to relate to some other places’ relative time schedule, having to do it themselves, we just use… Time zones. that’s what time zones are.
Without it, you’d have the same complexities inherent with time zones, but with none of the benefits.
A case of a problem being solved, and mistaking inherent challenges, i.e. the sun moving with a different offset around the world, as a fault of the existing approach. The suggested alternatives would improve nothing, and instead make the problem worse.
I’ve seen the sentiment expressed before. The logical conclusions of the former, seems, plainly put, terrible.
It would mean one global time, let’s say UTC. Everyone who travels anywhere need to adjust their entire relation to hours of the day.
We’ve very likely always had “time zones”, even before we had clocks and hours of the day. We said “at noon”, “at dawn”, etc.
Where we really fucked up was daylight savings time. But time zones? What’s the alternative?
Do you mean just the latter?
You’re kinda arguing my point tho, so maybe I didn’t communicate it very well.
If a character such as Trump gaining power can be considered a symptom, then the conditions that allow it is the disease. I.e. the points you make, with news networks not beholden to facts, lack of education and critical thought.
All of this is what I would argue is the underlying cause and conditions that are fertile grounds for populists. Also, just a little reminder that Hitler first succeeded on his second attempt at becoming a dictator. And unlike in the US, he was imprisoned for the first attempt.
Isn’t Trump just a symptom? What scares the shit out of me, isn’t Trump. It’s that Americans voted for him once, and a repeat of that shit show is somehow again a possibility. Even 5% thinking that could be a good idea, would be cause for concern. 10% is “what the actual fuck America…”.
Remove Trump from the picture, and the issue is still there. The people who would vote for him, and the machinery in place that can convince them of it.
Imagine someone as vile as Trump, but not dumb as a sponge…
You probably ended up in the wrong confirmation bias bubble in the world of black box “news” content filtering. It’s the most dangerous thing about Facebook/Tiktok.
That, and/or another round psyops funding from Israel et al.
There are so many good games being made these days. I don’t understand why people still reward bad practices.
I tried Heroic Launcher. It’s exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the suggestion
That whatever species ends up dominating the earth with tools and technology branches out from bonobos instead.
A better option is to ignore it. You wouldn’t seek confirmation of something a child might say, regardless of it being sane or preposterous, would you?
How many do you have now?
Thanks. I will try it out. I’m pretty sure it was Lutris I had tried previously, and it didn’t work very well. As for Epic, I’d rather not game, than have to run it, even through Wine.

Though consider other suggestions like Heroic Launcher and Lutris. I cannot vouch for them, but there is certainly a better way than how I do it.
Sort of. It might be a good idea to see what the mentioned Heroic Launcher does. What I do is tedious and cumbersome.
Edit: I tried Heroic Launcher. Use that. It’s exactly what I wanted. Ignore what I’ve now placed in the spoiler.
$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/
PS: Surround all paths with double quotes. Both the TARGET
and START IN
fields. The working directory is almost always the directory that the executable is in.
When updating a game, it is sort of the same story. Download update files. Change the entry to run the update. Update. Change the entry back.
I’m sure there are better ways to do this. So I’ll probably check the Heroic Launcher. I remember trying similar things in the past, and I wasn’t all that happy with it.
If its available on both, GOG. Always. Even if the game was $15 om gog and $6 on steam.
I play them through steam with Proton. It’s tedious installing and adding the games, and updates are a similar manual process as installing them. But, I want to support DRM free software.
Edit: From the comments here… Hm, maybe it’s not a well known thing that you can run gog games on steam w/Proton?
The quality of code available for LLMs to learn from is normally distributed with the peak around “shouldn’t pass code review”.
What experienced developers write code at would be on the top 5 percentile, and are used to their colleagues to do the same. The effort put into reviewing code, also takes that into account.
If a team member starts using LLMs to write chunks of code, the quality will at best have the same normal distributed peak as the learning data. Which is a incredibly waste of resources, as you now have to spend 10x more time on reviewing the code, regardless of how often it ends up being ok
I’m curious. And I ask, because US politics has normalised what would be clear corruption in most other places:
Is the illegal part here spoofing Biden, or also a private company trying to manipulate the electoral process?
If its only the former, then, what an absolute shit show.
I did eventually yes. Thanks for asking. I was exhausted yesterday, and upon reading my comment again, I get the downvotes. I get the tone often wrong in a second language. The article was a lot more insightful and in depth than I had mistakenly assumed.
After reading it tho, it seemed a lot more focused on performance than I think would be warranted. But that could be due to different concerns and constraints than where I’m used to working. I’d focus more on the mechanisms that best expresses the intent, and although they do discuss this well, the Venn diagram for the appropriate use of exceptions and error codes don’t overlap as much in my world.
And, it’s not like I’m arguing that they are wrong. It’s an opinion on a choice for a tradeoff that I only think, while allowing the possibility of being wrong, might miss the the mark. Stack unwinding is by its nature less explicit for the state it leaves behind. So it shouldn’t be a question of either error codes or exceptions, but which are most appropriate to express what, and when.
Even for Rust, where monads are preferred and part of the language to express and handle error codes, I would say that the statement of “newer languages like Rust don’t allow the use of exceptions”, seems incorrect to me. Something like
panic!("foo");
coupled withpanic::catch_unwind(|| { ... } });
I believe would unwind the stack similar to that of a throw/catch.Anyways. Thanks for reminding me to actually read the post. It was well worth it, and very insightful.
