I see your concern, but in practice that's not what happens in languages like Java and Python with exceptions. Not checking for exceptions is a choice because everyone knows you need to check in your top-level functions. Forgetting to catch is a problem that only hits newbies.

Oof, some of these comments. Sorry on behalf of the edge lords, OP.

But the entire point of Rust and Result is... to force you to make a choice of what should happen

Checked exceptions also force you to handle it and take way less boilerplate.

Nit: One engineer at a company saying something is not the same as that whole company saying something. I wish they would just say "Google employee insists..."

Zigbee or really any Bluetooth alternative.

Bluetooth is a poorly engineered protocol. It jumps around the spectrum while transmitting, which makes it difficult and power intensive for bluetooth receivers to track.

Yes. Supplier markup is 50% above cost, so set up a price watch and wait for it to go on clearance. You'll get it 50% off.

I got mine new at Best Buy last year when they were clearing out M1 stock.

In summary, a bunch of 60 year old C developers with social deficits hijacking the conversation when he gives a talk or tries to get anything done. E.g. the link was people interrupting a QA session to complaining "I don't want to learn Rust".

This post was maybe true 5 years ago, but PC laptops have really started to suck. My macbook air was only $300 and it's way better than my work's $1k+ Dell laptop in terms of performance and battery life.

Feel free to add it to the list. It's Wikipedia.

Cool, you should add those in and find some sources. It's Wikipedia

The government had a warrant, read the article.

It's just made confusing by the fact that the thief had signed into the victim's phone, so it makes for a good clickbait story "police got the wrong guy's data"

If by "when asked" you mean "given a search warrant with very clear evidence that this man had stolen a car", then... Yes? I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.

The ex-boyfriend had signed into the guy's phone. It's not like the police just cast a wide net and randomly got his data.
