CornOnTheGobDear artists and photographers, your works are often incredibly inspiring to me! Thank you!...but to people who put digital watermarks on inspiring works, I try like the dickens to never boost watermarked stuff. It is very unfortunate! And the world shed a tear for the misrepresentation for your otherwise immaculate, yet intentionally marred expressions...<a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/watermark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watermark</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/preference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#preference</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/boost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boost</a>

C.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@graham_knapp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@graham_knapp</a> A lot of it is always going to come down to personal preferences. But I think the different cases are more or less appropriate depending on the problem being solved.If you're calling a function or creating an object that you expect to almost-always work - it fails when low on memory, or when the network connection is broken, or some other exceptional (hint) condition, then I think exceptions are most appropriate. Throw one, and let it bubble up the caller's stack until they either handle it and possibly re-try, or the program exits with a diagnostic.If you're calling something that can reasonably be expected to both succeed or fail under normal conditions - say a command given in an inappropriate state fails, but otherwise succeeds, maybe - then an explicit return object with success/failure (and possibly a result, and / or an error message) can be better, as the caller expects to handle failures immediately.Both are easy in Python; I've implemented the latter with tuples, named tuples, custom classes, and dataclasses over the years for different projects.</0.02><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#software</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/engineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#engineering</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SoftwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwareEngineering</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/preference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#preference</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/choice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#choice</a>
