If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

But it's understandable, exception safety doesn't come for free in Python the way it is in C++.

As it turns out, RAII is essential for exception safety.

Closest thing Python has to RAII is the `with` statement.

@Deleted User Because it only does everything

does it bake cookies @Legiondude ?

It can

Not the kind you eat though

You have to choose the right tool for your use-case.

@meratrix C# has those as well

I should finish learning C at some point

I get through the first few chapters of K & R and then get bored

Ditto

You must be good and educated at C, otherwise you will make constantly mistakes. Memory leaks, etc.

More so than in high-level languages.

@Legiondude what languges do you know?

@Deleted User I mainly do C#, TypeScript and Python. I probably won't ever do any C professionally.

@Deleted User I used to know Racket, some C/C++, some C#, and then internet page scripting languages

cool

ERROR in The Angular Compiler requires TypeScript >=2.7.2 and <2.8.0 but 2.8.3 was found instead.
```

FFS

Reminds me of cmake, back when it couldn't do version checks properly.

Maybe it still can't, thank god I don't use it.

It would fail a check like `1.25.3 > 1.8.0` because it was doing string comparison.

Basically npm was saying "you got some packages here which aren't secure". Ok that is fine. I use angular to update the packages and then it breaks it own build. It is really frustrating.

Oh, I didn't read that right, it has a minimum AND maximum version requirement.

2.8.3 will work fine, it just has a check somewhere in there

It says `< 2.8.0`, not `<= 2.8.0`.

So it's possible it's not backwards compatible.

I've just used 2.7.2 now. Yeah I know what it says. The typescript version is a minor update it will probably work fine, but you can't turn the check off.

(or I can't spot it in the angular docs)

```java
package jab.util.definition.resolver;

import jab.util.definition.exception.DefinitionSyntaxException;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;

/**
* This resolves Short definitions from numerical definitions, and attempts to parse Shorts from
* given String definitions.
*
* @author Jab
*/
public class ShortResolver implements DefinitionResolver<Short> {

/**
* @param object The serialized definition.
* @return Returns the resolved definition.
*/
@Override
public Short resolve(@NotNull Object object) {
// If the object is a string, try to parse it.
if (object instanceof String) {
try {
return Short.parseShort((String) object);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
throw new DefinitionSyntaxException(
"Cannot cast String definition to Short definition: " + object);
}
}
// Return the numerical cast of the value as a Short.
return ((Number) object).shortValue();
}

/** @return Returns the class to registered that is also returned when resolving definitions. */
@Override
public Class getResolvedClass() {
return Short.class;
}

/**
* This is called to verify if the Object is valid for the entry.
*
* @param object The definition to test.
* @return Returns true if the resolver can resolve this definition.
*/
@Override
public boolean isValidDefinition(@NotNull Object object) {
return object instanceof Number || object instanceof String;
}
}
```

Isn't this shit just a parser of integers?

Talk about verborragic code.

Same code in C++:
```cpp
template<typename To, typename From>
To safe_cast(From val)
{
if (val < std::numeric_limits<To>::min() || val > std::numeric_limits<To>::max())
throw std::range_error{"value out of range"};
return static_cast<To>(val);
}

short resolve_short(const std::any& obj)
{
try {
return std::any_cast<short>(obj);
}
catch (const std::bad_any_cast&) {
return safe_cast<short>(std::stol(std::any_cast<std::string>(obj)));
}
}
```

Hm... the syntax highlight for C++ is so broken.

So I was thinking of working on a Discord bot that can be used to run poll’s on a server. A moderator could use a command to create a new poll and then users could use a command to vote in a poll, the moderator could then also close a poll with another command.

a bot to run /pol/'s on a server?

lol 😂

I’ll probably do it in Scala.

@meratrix its not very hard to do
