In pushback against “Stop Forwarding Errors, Start Designing Them” [1] [1]: https://fast.github.io/blog/stop-forwarding-errors-start-des...

Sure. But any nontrivial C codebase will have UB regardless of your intentions. This has been proven time and time again.

But are they "no UB in the code" great? For my use, Opus is absolutely good enough at Rust

Yeah, it's almost always more effective to work with an existing project as a starting point

This. If you use a modern frontier model like Opus 4.5, there's nothing to learn. No special prompting techniques. You give it a task, and most of the time it's capable of solving …

Checked exceptions don't force you to catch them on every level. You can mark the caller as `throws Exception` just like you can mark the caller as returning `anyhow::Result`. Ther…

Poor man's checked exceptions. That's important. From the `?` you always see which functions can fail and cause an early return. You can confidently refactor and use local reasonin…

Anyhow erases the type of the error, but still indicates the possibility of some error and forces you to handle it. Functionality-wise, it's very similar to `throws Exception` in J…

How would you implement a C++ ban in Chromium?

You should compare exceptions to Result-style tagged unions in a language with exhaustiveness checks, like Rust. Not to return codes in C, lmao. Everyone (except Go devs) knows tha…

> advice: submit the binary you used to generate the site to source control. Or use HVM and submit the .hvm file (which is just a text file with the Hugo version that you use)

You don't need a test suite. Your website is the test suite. You can build it with an old version of Hugo, build it with a new version of Hugo, and then diff the output folders: ht…

Why not donate to gnome or kde to improve those directly?
