Yes, I’d rather have 35 different IDEs for every task I need to do. Much better than One To Rule Them All.

The navbar has an annoying left border.

multiple people edited my question to change the grammar and take out the thanks and smiley at the end

Well, the Welcome Tour tells you that SO is about “just questions and answers”. This facilitates finding a question that’s written as concise as possible, checking its answer, and leaving. SO is deliberately not like a forum.

SE seems too heavily focusing on helping a “generic public” rather than the actual people asking the questions.

This is just another consequence of not being a forum. Of course SO wants questions to be helpful to as many people as possible. I don’t see how that is a bad thing.

If you want a laxer approach to handling quality, consider if you’ve ever found useful information on yahoo answers.

50 million users have an extra 3 seconds of unnecessary lag in a day because you wanted to hit tab rather than write code? That’s nearly 5 years of cumulative wasted time.

As if anyone cared if they had to wait a total of 3 seconds in a workday. If it’s a second per user action, we’re talking, but this is some bare-metal CPU wrangler’s take on how ‘efficient’ code should behave; completely disregarding that most users who touch a computer need 5 seconds to type ‘hi’ into MS Teams.

Most engineers already write bloated, abstracted, glacial code that burns CPU cycles like a California wildfire. Clean code? Ha! You’re writing for other programmers’ academic circlejerk, not the hardware.

It’s interesting that everybody else preaches ‘Write for the human first, for the machine second’.

You want real connection to code? You earn that. You dig in. You wrestle with segfaults at 3 in the morning. You pace your apartment muttering about pointer arithmetic. You burn through Handmade Hero until you get it.

Absolutely the best learning happens at 3AM. This guy is selling being overworked to the breaking point as some kind of rite of passage. That’s not working. Or learning. It’s the road to sucking off a 9mm 4 weeks later.

Well, I’ve done that… partially. However, since I’m not a top-1‰ superstar rock-dev, my solutions took several attempts, still make a lot of assumptions, and are generally kinda bad.

Until I’ve reached an actually good boilerplate automator, Copilot has its place.

The pointer itself does not contain the physical address and its value but only communicates the existence of the physical address and its value.

So you’re telling me 0xDEADBEEF does not contain the physical address of the thing it points to?

I was going to list a whole bunch of things the DETAILS tag doesn’t allow, but it seems that none of these issues actually appear. So either it has evolved since I’ve looked at it last time or I was stupid.

Either way, thanks for talking back.

What’s a native HTML element that mimics Bootstraps Collapse?

It also has lots of UI widgets like collapsing elements, modals and alerts. Sure, you could code all these by hand, but why bother?

JavaScript has types and it does have type errors, for instance

> null.foo
Uncaught TypeError: null has no properties

Please stop spouting nonsense on issues you know nothing about.

I find both horrifying.

This is how I’d want to read it:

			{
				emit differentFiles(
					ckFile.absoluteFilePath(),
					otherFile.absoluteFilePath(),
					FileCompareWorker::FileComparisonParams{
						FileComparisonParams::FileNameMatch,
						(ckFile.size() > otherFile.size())
							? FileComparisonParams::File1IsLarger
							: FileComparisonParams::File2IsLarger
					}
				);
			}

Ha! No.

To track changes to a project. You know, the thing Git has been made for.

Only git wasn’t done in 10 days. It was very quickly able to track its own development, but it still took Linus half a year of thinking to be able to make git.

(No, sorry, I can’t find the interview that would validate that claim.)

After all, most delays can directly be traced to the QA department. Wise business decision!

• A bug in the code controlling the Therac-25 radiation therapy machine was directly responsible for at least five patient deaths in the 1980s when it administered excessive quantities of beta radiation.
• Radiation therapy planning software RTP/2 created by Multidata Systems International could incorrectly double the dosage of radiation depending on how the technician entered data into the machine. At least eight patients died, while another 20 received overdoses likely to cause significant health problems (November 2000).
• A Medtronic heart device was found vulnerable to remote attacks (2008-03).

Great attention to detail!

Protip: Add a minor inconvenience to every line, like a trailing space or slightly misaligned indentation. That way the next guy who opens the file will automatically correct it, taking the git blame.

I was afraid you’d say that. That’s stupid.

Do they give a reason for why that’s ‘necessary’?

(Also it should be const userToName = (user) => user.name;)
