The two-party system in itself doesn't work well. So I'm not holding my breath.

Something like this would pass a code review, while the original would not: function createObject(value, id, nominal) return { value = value, id = id, nominal = nominal } end local object

The problem is not with understanding, but with maintainability. If you need, for any reason, to touch that code again, instead of a few changes, you have to be consistently doing a lot of changes. This has a higher chance of manual errors.

I think that too fancy code is just as bad as the original if-else spaghetti, but then even worse, because the patterns are abstract now as well.

Bad code can have a really high cognitive load to maintain. Just to illustrate what bad means, take a look at this: https://www.reddit.com/r/programminghorror/comments/1cb6rca/... I can see that having e

I agree with you. In fact, I think it's better to free up "configuration" memory, and use it to store "best practice" or "process" in general. I find that convention over configuration works out better on

Absolutely it does. Not to mention, if the mood is right now "let's spray paint teslas because fuck elon", buying a tesla means that I can be the next car owner with a fuck elon spray paint. Who wants that, even if the TCO, r

Yes and no. "Constantly" in the title means "with regular occurrence", like, I'm constantly being a pain in the neck with my word explanations. And the "constantly" you mean is more like "continuously

They are open source in the way Android is open source. The actual results are open source indeed, but the culture and the chain isn't, so, if the people who run the projects decide that they are not open anymore, they won't be. A

Renting is a perfectly valid option, if the service provider is being upfront. What's not okay is having a Buy button, but in reality only selling a license that can be revoked.

People, including me, are really, really bad at estimating risk and the real price of safety. It all looks very inefficient and everyone is so sad being parted with the safety money when there is no apparent danger. But when danger comes, s

This is my opinion as well, not knowing OP, but getting to know myself well enough. And by looking at other loud minorities on the internet, like the "don't preorder video games" crowd. I doubt the companies ever noticed the

Same as every social platform, the network effect. The actual functionality really is secondary to the usage and culture of these. Very much affecting it, yes, but still secondary at the same time. Same with multiplayer games, hangout spots

GIMP's initial release was in June 2, 1998. ZeMarmot's announcement was in 05 February 2015. The GIMP was an at least 17 year old software project, when the animated movie was announced. Of the two main GIMP maintainers, one of th

It's not made for coders, it's made for the benefit of whomever uses it, and many people use and bundle it as well. I do understand the issues that people are experiencing with it UX-wise, but the answer to that is not that it&#x2

I do know about the movie, and having one (upcoming even) movie being made about GIMP doesn't say anything about its usage, or it not being made for coders. Being made for coders is a bad claim as well, at most, it's a jab at its

Good reminder to all of us to check the dependencies from time to time. Services don't last forever, which is not a problem at all, if people enter into contract consciously. What's painful is overly relying on a service, and then

Gimp is nearing 30 years old, and it has been used for at most a handful of animation movies. I think, regarding its usage, that this is more of an outlier, than a main purpose of the software. So I don't think that this example refute

From what I gather, the people running the project don't mind the name, and that is basically to what this boils down to. I too think it's a stupid name, and that the project would be better off with a rename, but if being less &q

Yes the issue is the species. Billionaires are a product of our species. What you describe is a similar thinking that murderers, drug addicts or queers are somehow dissimilar to the general population. This is not the case. The issue is a p
