The article made a few good points, but a good amount of it was conjecture. I liked the part about comparing the two functions and showing that exceptions are faster but I think a big thing he’s not getting is readability. Even in the functions he showed, you can directly see that the one using std::expected has the happy path and error path directly in the function signature, whereas the exception one doesn’t.

As for the “error kind” trap he was talking about, that definitely exists, but ignores the fact that you can also get this same kind of error from exceptions. I’ve definitely gotten exceptions that I didn’t understand from Python or Java libraries, but it’s not a problem with exceptions but a problem with how they’re shown. If there’s nothing to tell me that I should have thought of that error, it shouldn’t be an expectation for a dev to have thought of it.

Nah I don’t have any more examples cuz I haven’t been using vim for like 30 years. I think the other comments make good points tho

I use vim bindings in vscode, but I’m trying to switch to neovim.

It’s hard to talk about efficiencies without use cases but here’s some that I like:

• Compared to using mouse, text selection is just much easier in vim. Instead of accidentally highlighting an extra space and clicking somewhere on accident which gets rid of my selection, vim lets me go directly to the end of the word and be precise about where I’m selecting.
• I remember before I used vim, I would count the number of times I hit the backspace or delete when I had heavily nested parentheses. With vim I just type the exact number I want, and if I were to undo that operation I also know exactly what was changed, whereas when counting there’s always the possibility of miscounting or pressing delete without counting.
• I don’t have to scroll. I can jump 100 lines in less than a second. Instead of searching through long files to find where I left off, I just generally remember what line number I was at, then I can simply just jump back.
• Forces me to type better. Before vim I had really shitty typing form(I don’t know what it’s actually called) but switching to vim shone a light on exactly how I was typing wrong, and now I type faster.
• Using the % operator you can jump between brackets or parentheses. This comes in handy especially when you want to highlight the inside of a function call, or just jump to the end of a pair of brackets

What does YoE stand for

I heard there are quantum computing libraries in Python if that interests you!

If I were you I’d browse PyPi for any packages that look cool.

I’m not exactly sure what to think about it, but I do like how there’s specific things that have their implementation in code right there. I did only look at the site for like a minute, so take that with a grain of salt.

What’s bofa

I know it’s a dumb idea but imagine how fun it would be if there was no copyright

That idea of booting from a USB is golden.

Oh, I didn’t realize a lot of people actually believed that I just figured they were being hyperbolic.

I wouldn’t take the meme so literally that they’re only talking about current quarter profits, but just that they want growth in general.

This is also a great alternative to syncing photo albums between devices instead of syncing with the cloud.

I didn’t know that, thanks!

Same here

I’m in favor of people doing what they like with their devices. I’ve done a lot of… interesting things but the thought of putting an nsfw image as my home screen is kind of weird

Why isn’t syncthing there? Is there something bad with it I’m not aware of amor are they just not aware of it?

You can make nice little self watering pots with a 3d printer and the right filament.

Those extending swords are really fun.

There are also 3d puzzles you can make.

You can also print models you’d like to paint as minis. You just need the model, sandpaper, primer and some paint.
