If Rubocop's default rules told you to jump off a bridge, would you? :-)

For considerably long methods you are correct. But the rubonic ideal is shorter methods, and for such short methods, it doesn't provide much in the way of reducing cognitive load. As a reader, if you see no assignment prior to the acce

Re (1, assignment of conditional), I tend to avoid this construction, though I don't stress about it too much in code review. It's just fairly easy to lose track of the fact that an assignment is occuring except in the most simple

I agree in general here, but safe navigation is almost always better, because you are reducing the amount of syntax being loaded into the developers head for the same effect, which helps to avoid getting bogged down and missing the bug, or

This cracks me up. There's really cool implications with this research, but I think the fun value might actually outweigh it.

Dear sir/madam, that's a browser. This is a feature of Google Search, which is a search engine.

Worth noting Android (or at least Pixel) does have a feature like this, but it actually does the opposite: while a Bluetooth device is connected it keeps the phone unlocked . It would be way more useful in the reverse: that if a Bluetooth

There's so much coverage of this from the gamer crowd that entirely ignores that a PSN account was required from the beginning but waived because of the unexpected popularity of the game and how Sony couldn't handle it. To be fair
