Like all things... this too shall pass.

Savantism is a separate concept from autism, though popular culture has somehow associated the two.

I realize my initial analysis is kind of wrong - everyone picking blue would also ensure everyone survives.

So I think the color doesn't really matter if everyone is rational. So long as they are consistent.

Blue is more tasteful here then. With the added bonus that if enough people do pick it, it's a win.

What is interesting is if you believe most people are not rational and will pick red, but at least one person will pick blue.

Do you choose certain death?

For me, who has dependents, it would rest on what I think they would choose.

A very interesting problem....

if everyone were rational, and knew everyone else would act rationally, then obvious answer is to pick red, because everyone would pick red, and hence everyone would survive.

this is the way

NPEs are also present in a lot of languages with "stronger" type systems though. Is there a specific language you're comparing against?

out of curiosity (not meant snidely), do you have an example of a case where the weaker type system resulted in serious problems?

in tech? oft times you just look at your manager or skip level

Ah, I see what you're objecting to. Yes, it is build tag trickery, and wouldn't work without it

Yep - my point was that _test is not the only exception to the "rule"

You can also include

package main

files in a non-main package directory (usually sed when implementing go generate)

> contrasting craftsmanship and utility, since both are somewhat prized on HN

I'd say they're prized everywhere, though "craftsmanship" is really subjective. and the HN I usually [edit/add: see] seems to have more a meta of "criticize anything someone tries to build, and rave about IQ" tbh ;)

SQLite works and I don't have to think about it why it works (too much). That is IMO a true hallmark of solid engineering.

It hurts because it's true

The amount of staffs at my place who build pointlessly complex bullshit that doesn't actually do anything different is too damn high
