It's useful when there are one or two error cases you want to retry or handle specially, but you want to just barf any other error up the stack. It's a specific use case but it's prevalent.

The downside is that sugar can only separate your error conditions by Java type. If everything is just an Exception, you'll have to use sort out your error cases in code.

The only format that stands the test of time, IMO

- In the excerpt, Scharre describes a week during which DARPA calibrated its robot’s human recognition algorithm alongside a group of US Marines. The Marines and a team of DARPA engineers spent six days walking around the robot, training it to identify the moving human form. On the seventh day, the engineers placed the robot at the center of a traffic circle and devised a little game: The Marines had to approach the robot from a distance and touch the robot without being detected.

Which way is "past"? Can only knights milti-kill, since they can "jump" past the first point of contact?

It helps (me) to imagine an air bubble in a sealed, nearly-full fish tank on that same accelerating bus. The heavier water gets "flung" harder away from the direction of acceleration, and the bubble gets pushed out of the way in the opposite direction. Same principle.

Judy Woodruff couldn't drop the n-word in anger on national TV and expect to keep her job.

Some people seem to say that using Vayama worked out for them, but with my trip 3 weeks away still I'm pretty on edge.

We're supposed to learn that Kayak is pants now, and they should feel bad.
