To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.
Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.
So don’t?
It’s disgusting that you endorse discriminating against people
If you’re not trolling - poorly - then you obviously have massive issues. I would encourage you to seek out some help for those.
Then go sue them over their lack of Your Particular Setup-compatible wifi, I guess.
It’s their network that they are offering as a service, if they say no then no it is.
Sure, that’s fine. I use interactive rebase for “cleaning” a lot. I’m just saying it doesn’t make a difference for diffing (as you can diff any commit against any other) and doing it as a matter of routine sounds like it could skip potentially useful history.
I mostly rebase but if a branch has things happen in a sequence that matters, I would merge it instead, for example.
Squashing seems like you’d potentially lose out on info and have a harder time isolating the changes you’re looking through. I guess it depends on how much has been changed and whether some of the commits along the branch were more important than others.
I also don’t think the reset is necessary, you should be able to diff the branch head against whatever you want.
Give some JS dev about fifteen minutes
That, or you’re met with “why on earth do you want to do that?”
To be fair, the XY problem is huge in anything coding related. Newbie wants to do X, has a vague and terribly wrong idea about how to do it (Y), then asks how to do Y instead. To give a “correct” answer to Y, assuming the question makes enough sense to have a correct answer, is less helpful than trying more or less tactfully to figure out what the actual goal was.
I think I misunderstood lemmyvore a bit, reading some criticism into the Lego metaphor that might not be there.
To me, “playing with bricks” is exactly how I want a lot of my coding to look. It means you can design and implement the bricks, connectors and overall architecture, and end up with something that makes sense. If running with the metaphor, that ain’t bad, in a world full of random bullshit cobbled together with broken bricks, chewing gum and exposed electrical wire.
If the whole set is wonky, or people start eating the bricks instead, I suppose there’s bigger worries.
(Definitely agree on “low code” being one of those worries, though - turns into “please, Jesus Christ, just let me write the actual code instead” remarkably often. I’m a BizTalk survivor and I’m not even sure that was the worst.
the “playing with legos” mental model
??
However, as they don’t federate downvotes (at least kbin.social doesn’t) you can only see local ones so this wouldn’t help OP.
IP bans suck, they’re not a good idea even if not federated.
I don’t think there’s a real solution to spam on the fediverse unless it’s limiting stuff to closed-registration instances.
Being generally as flexible as a dry straw, not owning the cool open-toe tights, missing the ability to see through my own abdomen, and I don’t use Apple products.
Reducing mental load on the developer helps a lot. There’s no way you can say c is simpler than higher level languages.
Sure, and… that’s why I didn’t say that, I guess? I live firmly in VM/script land - C# when I can, actually. Reducing developer load is fine by me and I don’t have a particular obsession with optimizing for performance - most things I do are not that exciting.
My point is that there’s a difference between layers of abstraction that serve an actual purpose (loops, classes, garbage collection), and weird stuff that grows out of “innovation” that maybe wasn’t all that good an idea, but was tacked on something else for novelty or cargo cult reasons, or the wrong kind of laziness. The idea of being able to only target web is fine. The idea of occasionally shipping a browser with a particular app could be merited. I’m just saying maybe not half of every app needed to be bundled with a whole chromium installation.
Why do computers become more and more powerful, but programs continue to lag?
Because instead of taking advantage of hardware to push boundaries in what we can accomplish, it’s exploited so you can turn everything into its own instance of Chromium, with all the bloat and overhead that entails, for the world’s simplest application. Even on mobile, where power consumption is allegedly important.
The industry spends so much time reinventing wheels and shoehorning things into each other, instead of doing anything… useful. Can’t have a normal web page anymore because waaaah page loads, gotta be SPA, then you gotta reinvent all the stuff that you threw out to make an SPA - probably in the form of several dozen libraries, all of which also keep getting reinvented every other week. What’s that, the SPA is now a 4GB download and seven orders of magnitude slower than the page loads it was supposedly meant to avoid? Lol who cares. Put some more layers of transpiled javascript in there anyway. Keeping up with the NPM dependencies alone is now 40% of the manpower in the corporation? Don’t worry, it’s modular or some shit.
It’s not even about the money, none of this helps generate actual value - in theory, being able to just target web makes sense, but not if relentlessly overcomplicated at every turn anyway. If the money/management people could tear themselves away from being phished for five minutes, and actually understood how much time and effort is being wasted on building mostly redundant card houses of mostly unnecessary tech, they’d have a stroke.
Diffusion of responsibility, nobody wanting it enough to force the issue or shepherd it through committing to it/planning it/developing it, and/or not knowing if the considerable amount of effort will “pay off” in the sense of actually getting merged.
Note that I have no clue about Minetest specifically, I’m just guessing
There’s no point spending twice the time making something that corresponds 1:1 to code - unless the code is truly horrific, and then you’ve got bigger issues. One generally assumes people involved with a project will know or learn relevant languages.
It’s more commonly used for things that are less obvious from the source itself - like “what’s sent between the client and server in this handshake” or “what is the overall architecture of this part of the code”
Flowcharts may be a bit more common when studying algorithms in general
Edit; from your other comments, you seem to be talking about protocols, not algorithms. An algorithm is a set of steps to do something. A protocol is a description of how different systems interact such as in a chat application.
Sort of. Python is a lot more ceremonious about its PEPs or whatever, but there are official naming guidelines for .NET in general at least. The rest of it falls more under the general “this and that is considered ‘good’ code, this and that is not”. You could prefer ancient-style C# or heavily functional C#, there’s the SOLID stuff that applies both generally and specifically to OOP, etc
“site” does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.
I’d consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the “quotes for verbatim results”, which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.
