Depending on the language exceptions are used in many different ways. Some use it liberally for all kinds of error handling.

A good feature of Exceptions is you can throw them all the way up the stack and handle them there, giving you loose coupling between the code that calls the dangerous code and the one that catches it.

Exceptions have a big runtime overhead, so using them for normal control flow and error handling can be a bit meh.

Using return types can be great, if the language has good support for. For example swift enums are nice for this.

enum ResultError  {
  case noAnswer;
  case couldNotAsk;
  case timeOut
}

enum Result {
  case answer: String;
  case error: ResultError
}

func ask(){
  let myResult = askQuestion(“Are return types useful?”);
  switch myResult {
    case answer: 
      print(answer);
    case error:
       handleError(error);
  }
}

func handleError(error: ResultError) {
  switch ResultError {
    case noAnswer:
      print(“Received no answer”);
    case couldNot:
      …
  }

}

Using enums and switch means the compiler ensures you handle all errors in a place you expect.

A friend has had good results using AIDD as an agent framework. It’s basically a built in project/product/scrum master that creates tickets and with that constraints.

Have you tried something like this?

The available libraries, operating system, and hardware platform pay a bigger role than the programming language. Often the choice of language follows the tool chain and frameworks that fit with the intended program.

For LLM generated code, it can also take a whole to read and understand. When I write code myself, I understand the intention, architecture, and so on. Machine written code is very different. I need to understand how it works. There’s often extraneous stuff in there or weird patterns.

This video is older than YouTube, I think.

Write a program that reads or writes a simple binary file format. I recommend midi, TIFF, BMP.

For example write a generator for fractal images.

Making something that goes boom is easy. Making something that can contain a boom and channel the boom into only one direction is difficult. Quality metallurgy and precision metal work is actually difficult. Making a tube and a projectile that fit each other nicely is very hard to do at scale.

Complexity is inherent an unavoidable.

C++ is a great language it you refrain from using 70% of its features.

I’m sure someone will use rust to build a bloated reactive declarative dynamic UI framework, that wastes cycles, eats memory, and is inscrutable to debug.

Nice conspiracy theory.

Yes, OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Regarding Linux distributions, I don’t have a specific recommendation. You might be worse off with a distro that doesn’t include nonfree drivers for wifi, bluetooth, graphics by default. IIRC these MBPs use Broadcom Wifi chips. Ubuntu and derivatives would be my first try. Definitely read up on how to install Linux on MBPs. You probably might have to configure something in OpenFirmware/EFI.

This is also true for other people.

Political alliances are bad because they would mean actually taking action. It’s much more comfortable to just sit around, criticize, and preach your moral superiority.

There was an international arms embargo by the USA and the UN on Israel/Palestine in 1947-48.

The Zionists bought and smuggled in surplus WW2 weapons from Czechoslovakia during that time. The Soviet Union helped the Zionists, which were dominated by socialists at the time in the hopes of gaining an ally.

Between 1948 and 1967 there was no slow removal of Palestinian Arabs. Almost all of it was quite sudden in 1948. Keep in mind that Jewish Palestinians were expelled from the Jordan occupied West Bank and half of Jerusalem. Gaza was occupied by Egypt and Jews were expelled. Arab and Muslim countries persecuted and expelled their Jewish population after 1948, resulting in 800,000 to a millions Jews fleeing, many to Israel.
