I keep seeing this reoccurring theme that `panic` should always be avoiding in Go and should never happen in a Go library.

❯ pwd && rg panic -g '!cmd' -g '!runtime' -g '!internal' | wc -l
/Users/bbennett/src/go/src
3007

Some people (including myself and apparently the Go team) don't agree with this.

Panics are a great way to enforce invariants that are the fault of programmers and not data input.

This thread is a mixed bag of @playdate news:

The price of the console is going up in future but you can buy refurbished hardware for a discounted price or grab a console NOW at the existing price

I like my Playdate. It's a very fun handheld console to use and I really admire that @panic ventured into that space.

Rwanda-backed rebels advance in eastern Congo as residents flee by the thousands
Panic swept through eastern Congo's second-largest city on Saturday as residents fled by the thousands, scrambling to escape the looming advance of Rwanda-backed rebels.

The biggest reason the chaos in the #usa scares me is because I CANNOT live without #medication and a whole lot of #help putting my mind back together still.

I went through an extremely #traumatic few years.

Before that I wasn't doing well anyway.

If I don't have these meds and help, I am in so much pain I can't think.

I #panic constantly and can't stay inside because it terrifies me, then literally walk until I go insane from sleep deprivation.

Coming up with new features to add to my crappy little app is hard. Users need to constantly feel that they get value for their money so I'm constantly adding new things. But right now I have no good ideas, not even ideas for improving the UI a bit. The struggle is real.

Ok having a serious #panic attack

Jack Smith just resigned from DOJ and the enormity of what's coming just really hit me

I am trying hard not to let my #anxiety and #depression sink me. I am so far behind in my #college work I will likely not graduate this semester as planned. I have no more money to do another semester. It is causing me to have #panic attacks. I feel so worthless right now.

Today I’m feeling a LOT of trauma about what’s coming next month. Fear, anxiety, panic…they’re all here at the party.

We have taken our democracy for granted.

There has been plenty of oppression and suffering to combat. But the worst is coming. And there seems to be nothing we can do about it.

There are people/organizations who CAN create some barriers. But they’re silent. Inactive. Submissive.

This must be what it feels like to have a terminal illness.

my #hypervisor is panicking and I don't know why. Would someone be willing to give me some advice ? #freebsd #kernel #panic

Playdate’s Catalog Fall Sale ! Already bought few games…

@playdate #panic

I appreciate the effort and dedication to quality of the @playdate team.

I’d prefer this route, rather than to be sold a bad product.

It's always fun at #work when you get dragged into a #discussion and someone having #panic over how to solve an #emergency situation that might or might not happen at all. And you can calmy explain "We have had a contingency plan for that scenario for months now" (It what happens if our unit manager needs to take a long sick leave for example)
