Everything by voidtools is incredible and makes Windows slightly more bearable. It’s a shame Linux doesn’t have anything as good as it.
It’s free, but not open source though.

The author pointed out how exceptions are often faster than checking every value. If your functions throws an error often enough that Exception handling noticeably slow down your program, surely you got to take a second look at what you’re doing.
They both have their place. I just recently discovered a bug in lemmy bot I wrote where the lemmy API module will raise an Exception if login fails (response status code != 200), which feels extremely out of place, as the error/status code do matter in that case.
Other times exceptions make more sense as Phillip pointed out.
It’s easier faster to ask for forgiveness than permission after all.
It’s just a research paper, not a product. It’s about discovering and learning new possible methods and applications.
You could always ask someone to vouch for you. It could also be that you have open communities and closed communities. So you would build up trust in an open community before being trusted by someone to be allowed to interact with the closed communities. Open communities could be communities less interesting/harder for the bots to spam and closed communities could be the high risk ones, such as news and politics.
Would this greatly reduce the user friendliness of the site? Yes. But it would be an option if bots turn into a serious problem.
I haven’t really thought through the details and I’m not sure how well it would work for a decentralised network though. Would each instance run their own trust tree, or would trusted instances share a single trust database 🤷♂️
A chain/tree of trust. If a particular parent node has trusted a lot of users that proves to be malicious bots, you break the chain of trust by removing the parent node. Orphaned real users would then need to find a new account that is willing to trust them, while the bots are left out hanging.
Not sure how well it would work on federated platforms though.
The only two people arguing against the change were both authors/contributors of is-number lol
The sea should be marked as C considering that’s what you’ll discover when you get deep into it.
