  • A problem that only affects newbies huh?

    Let’s say that you are writing code intended to be deployed headless in the field, and it should not be allowed to exit in an uncontrolled fashion because there are communications that need to happen with hardware to safely shut them down. You’re making a autonomous robot or something.

    Using python for this task isn’t too out of left field, because one of the major languages of ROS is python, and it’s the most common one.

    Which of the following python standard library functions can throw, and what do they throw?

    bytes, hasattr, len, super, zip

    So… should I have voted for Marianne Williamson or Dean Phillips, keeping in mind Dean Phillips formally withdrew from the race before my state’s primary, and Marianne Williamson couldn’t have won if she had sweeped every state after and including mine?

    I think the problem is mostly that the US system of elections is turbo mega fucked.
