The example is strange and contrived. I couldn't torture the logic enough to demonstrate how readability breaks down with exceptions. Reading through the comments, I realise that even if the code is unreadable with exceptions, it can b

Author here. Thank you for the link to Midori's error model. It's on my reading list for this week. > So we should keep the door open, and not pretend we have already solved errors. Very much this. Even with errors as values, t

I agree with you. With OpenAPI you can be more specific about what your API does. You can add examples and refer to the output of an API call (useful if you need to point out relationships). When I have time, I may work on more tooling for

I used OpenAPI exclusively on my previous job. But it was only me, the back-end developer. My colleagues appreciated the documentation. But when it was time for me to leave, the team moved to Postman. OpenAPI was another DSL to learn, and t

When I gave this book an attempt, I appreciated the author's honesty about the difficulty of the material. I went with Real World Ocaml instead, intending to reattempt SoFP in the future. Today I suggested an addition to a section in R

"Dating or not, these are vital in life." I don't mean to be pedantic, but, without the comma, I read it wrong twice. I agree with you totally. I'm currently looking for a course I can volunteer for outside my day job.

This is amazing. Is it like MapReduce, but for virus replication and transmission?

That's quite like my experience. I started out with Emacs, but I learned Vim along the way and the key bindings are awesome. I use them in other editors, but often they conflict with the editor's defaults, or they're not emul

I sincerely hope you find something that works. It is a good pursuit. Will it be limited to learning programming only? There are many other skills that will be needed after such crises. One such skill is creative writing to bring the arts b

I am a Nigerian, and I am an studying to take up a career in tech (focusing on software engineering, but I have interests in data science, and education). I see these stories of Nigerian scam artists presented in a stereotypical way that te

TheRealmccoy's goal is commendable. Many economies do not have favorably balanced trade with the big nations, so an effective way to learn on mobile will help many persons. But in a crisis where bombs and bullets are flying around, wil

I mentioned that stability is a concern for me. Don't you think Arch Linux feeding packages from upstream might not be ideal for me? That's the reason I highlighted Debian testing instead of Debian unstable. I've used Slackwa

How does openSUSE do compared against Fedora, FreeBSD and Debian (testing) for developers? I'm currently running Ubuntu but the experience is not as smooth as I want: I've had several freezes and kernel panics, even though my lapt

I subscribed to your blog and your newsletter some months ago, and I must say I like what you do. Although I'm focused on C++ now for some courses I'm taking, I still hope to catch up on Go later, and I think your book will be hel

The Linux Foundation may have just accepted a Trojan Horse (or rather, a Redmond Horse). I hope it turns out for good for all. I'd love to see better contributions to Linux. If Microsoft can help make Wine better, then the playing fiel

I used Windows in 2015 (I never used it as my primary OS for more than a year) alongside some Linux distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Slackware and a few others). I finally settled for Debian, at least for now. Whenever I need to do somethin

I read "Internet Book Piracy" recently about this issue and the author, Gini Graham, has valid points and suggestions for reducing piracy; this was one of her suggestions. I have no problem with Elsevier crying wolf when there&#x2

Wow! It's great knowing some person have been in the art for so long and have accomplished so much. I've had a laptop computer for about a year now and I've not done anything really good with it. It came with Windows and some

There are similar accounts in that book and it all seemed not-so-extraordinary until I got to the accounts of maps that described features of Antarctica. Whether it's true or a hoax, the human mind is amazing. The book contains account

That proverb seems to have many origins and variants, including religious roots. But is idleness really the problem? One can choose to occupy one's mind with better things and even suppress negative inclinations.

That's quite true. I now see where the problem comes from. I did not apply the right words to convey my intended message. You can blame me for that. The topic is about raising creative children and I actually intended to criticize impo

The statement doesn't mean you have no guardianship of your children. You do but not an ownership of their future. The next statement, "They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself", explains that, and so

The vast majority of Muslims are good people due to good parenting. I guess the good parents 'did not force' the deranged radical elements of the surrounding culture on the children. Most victims of such sick cultures acquire it h

That's true. Much of their behaviors also seem to come pre-written on their minds. Stephen Pinker talks about it in his book "The Blank Slate - a Modern Denial of Human Nature". Most of parents' efforts seem to leave lit
