Software both works perfectly (on the developers machine and most deployed instances) and fails dramatically (on some significant subset of deployed instances).

This makes the software both a success (since it works, and can generate revenue) and a failure (since it is unreliable, and may alienate paying customers).

Hanging out with family. Making the same baking my stepmom made. Unscheduled time.

Maybe we can get the Canadian ones back.

Do you have a link backing that up? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but the coverage so far has only turned up a handful of anodyne links and news stories.

We might be hitting tipping points due to climate change. Methane being released from permafrost, ocean currents in the north Atlantic stopping/slowing and fucking over Europe.

That will mess with food production. It’s gonna be bad for us and worse for our kids.

I am also curious.

While she was working there, the Jamaican government banned asset transfers in response to sanctions imposed by the U.S. after the election of Michael Manley, a supporter of Fidel Castro. In order to return to the U.S., True would have had to either forfeit her pay or spend the money before she went home.[13] True, who by this time was trying to break into the music industry, chose to invest the money in recording a demo of “More, More, More”,

I love everything about this.

Nice!

you just need to say the magic words…

There are a bunch of people around you who don’t want to be subjected to a smell.

If you need to mask odour, address the odour issue.

If you want to produce a smell, don’t. Some people will like it, but many won’t.

The Venn diagram of Lemmy users and Outlook users is probably pretty close to two separate circles. I’m sure there’s some commonality, but probably not a lot.

I mentioned it to my friends a couple of times, but I couldn’t offer a reason to move when they are happy with Reddit.

At the moment, there isn’t enough content unique to Lemmy, except for unix_surrealism. I post my favourite Surrealism posts to work channels and hope people are interested enough that they stick around.

Donations are more aligned with my beliefs when I can choose the charity.

And my country gives smol tax breaks for donations to charities. So I can get some cash back at tax time. I don’t get those at the check out.

Just a touch.

It’s a good way to do it.

I think about what’ll happen if they reciprocate - I’ll be happy! They’ll be happy!

I’ve said it to four or five people. Each time it went well - we dated and had a good time.

I cheat: I only ask people out if we’ve been friends for a bit. That way I can gauge if we’re a decent match.

I thought those were for only when shit is seriously wrong and execution can’t continue in the current state.

That’s how it starts. Nice and simple. Everyone understands.

Until

some resource was in a bad state

and you decide you want to recover from that situation, but you don’t want to refactor all your code.

Suddenly, catching exceptions and rerunning seems like a good idea. With that normalized, you wonder what else you can recover from.

Then you head down the rabbit hole of recovering from different things at different times with different types of exception.

Then it turns into confusing flow control.

The whole Result<ReturnValue,Error> thing from Rust is a nice alternative.
