Ok, let me use it on Linux then.

A good UX and a user base. I had it on my phone, but uninstalled after a while because not a single person I know uses it.

I do like React. It's still my choice even after trying other tools (including HTMX).

Maybe I just have a bad taste for cars, but this looks awful. Uninspiring. Looks like a Tesla with a Ferrari logo.

Edit: I do love the analog buttons in the interior though. I despise those big screens with all the controls, and no tactile feedback.

I’m glad you recovered, Cliff! I got a signed Klein Bottle from you as one of the first things I did once I moved to North America about a decade ago. It’s sitting proudly on my bookshelf.

For greenfield projects, I agree. It gets the job done, but PHP would never be my choice for a new project. Bun seems like a much better choice in pretty much every criteria.

Iran is far from being the good guys, but I cannot see the US as the good guys here either.

I was very skeptical of Go when I started learning it, but it quickly became my favourite language. I like how simple but powerful it is.

If I had a magic wand, the only things I would add is better nulability checks, add stack traces by default for errors, and exhaustive checks for sum types. Other than that, it does everything I want.

It's very ironic that the way they could have made money was the simple, but boring one: buying and holding bitcoin. Being a shitcoin day-trader is much more exciting though, and that's how they lost all their money.

Maybe that's also what will happen with AI investors when the bubble pops or deflates.

It's only a problem for the GOP if Dems do win elections again. Judging by how things are progressing, it may not happen anymore. They have complete control over everything.

No. Like always, there will be visual accessibility features such as high contrast, reducing screen motion, dark mode, and reduced transparency. I never had to use them, but according to a family member who is blind, Apple is excellent in terms of accessibility.

The opposite for me. I'm so tired of the boring and uninspiring flat design, that Apple may have convinced me to get an iPhone next time I upgrade. I don't even notice Android updates anymore, the past 3 or 4 just look and feel the same.

I'm on the other camp. I'm so tired of the boring flat design, I'm actually considering switching to an iPhone.

Perhaps something like this?

    result := InvokeWithErrorLogger(
        func (err error) { // Error handler
            incrementMetric("foo")
            log.Error("bar")
        },
        addTwoNumbers, a, b,
    )

But the problem is that this approach is not better than just writing this, which doesn't need any new fancy addition to the language:

    result, err := addTwoNumbers(a, b)
    if err != nil {
        incrementMetric("foo")
        log.Error("bar")
        return fmt.Errorf("addTwoNumbers(%d, %d) = %v", a, b, err)
    }
Hence why all the proposals ended up dying with the lack of traction.
