  8. Re:it also doesn't make sense on Marijuana Prosecution Not a High Priority, Says Obama · · Score: 1

  15. third option: callbacks on The Scourge of Error Handling · · Score: 2

    This is generally seen with asynchronous code, but it could apply anywhere.

    Consider: (javascript) XmlHttpRequest has a readystatechange callback. Most javascript libs wrap it up so you pass in two callbacks, one for success and one for failure/error.

    e.g.

    jQuery.ajax(url, {
    success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){ ... },
    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)) { ... }
    );

    No return, no exception, the programmer decides how to handle it.
