Error logs and monitors find out because the RPC fails, which causes an error to be logged and a failed request metric to be incremented. (The UncaughtExceptionHandler will do the same for stuff failing in background…
If I need to write some bytes to an S3 bucket but the network is hosed, there's literally nothing useful I or any library can do until the network is back up. RPC calls will fail, error logs should get written, and a…
In a desktop application that is not allowed to totally crash, or at least has to crash kind of gracefully, checked exceptions are useful. But in the world that most Java devs live in, which is various flavors of RPC…
Yeah, that'd be nice.
You can return union types in Java if you want that, although it'd be nice to have better first class support for them. The issue though is that forcing people to handle irrecoverable exceptions is just kind of dumb. If…
It's not a matter of laziness. Most of the time there's just nothing you can do. Like if you try to construct a URI based on a configured URI string, and get URISyntaxException... wtf should you even do? You can't…
Unless the contents of the ebook are my property, in which case you have stolen my property.
Checked exceptions failed because 99 times out of 100 the exception is not recoverable, so the try/catch block is just wasting everyone's time. (In 7 years as a Java dev I can think of one time I wrote code that tried…
If I use your copied credit card to buy software, all that happens is (a) some bits get written to my computer's hard disk and (b) some bits get written to a Visa or Mastercard server's hard disk. Why would you get…

It's really about whether you can incrementally assess P&L. Facebook has epic amounts of user-generated imagery and text, and incremental improvements in NLP and computer vision generate incremental revenue (and profit)…
Metaverse is exactly my point -- they've incinerated vast amounts of investor money with nothing to show for it. They could've and should've just plowed that money into hundreds of startups. LLAMA is also exactly my…
If you have a billion dollars and want to do something creative, invest it in 100 startups. But if you want to spend a billion dollars through a big corporation, you should use that corporation's comparative advantage…
The parents are the ones with money to spend, which means they're the ones advertisers want.
Creativity is for startups. If you run the 8th or so most valuable company on the planet, your competitive advantage is mostly your scale. You should mostly be using that to maximize return on proven stuff (either by…
Claims like this are so dumb. Call center work has a very low ceiling on skill, so obviously people who are maxed out can't benefit. But in any knowledge economy type job, there is no ceiling on skill. Creative,…
just FYI, it's MANPADS -- the S isn't for plural, it's for "System" (as in "MAN Portable Air Defense System)
If you say so, dude.
You're confusing the concepts of "immoral" and "illegal".
There's a difference between "the executives are bad people doing a bad thing that is _maybe_ tortious" and "the executives are committing a crime". OP was claiming the latter is rare. You're saying the former is…
Paying someone a lot doesn't magically make them a good engineer. You have to actually hire the best people, and there's only so many of them to go around.
Georgetown has the School of Foreign Service, which has tougher admissions standards than the other 3 Georgetown undergraduate schools, and is the #2 ranked undergraduate program in blah blah blah but seriously the…
CMU has 7000 undergrads, of whom 600 are in the School of Computer Science. So, if you take a random CMU student who decided to start a company and looked for VC funding, you've got a <10% chance of an SCS alum and a…
I'm a Georgetown alum. Georgetown alumni do the same thing with international relations that CMU alumni do with CS where we like to pretend that because there's a really good IR graduate program that we undergrads were…
