This usually bites me when it see a function that takes a parameter named angle. I usually have to read the docs or inline comment to know if it's in radians or degrees. At worst case, I have to go to read the implementation to figure

I first learned the word suzerainty from the game Trails from zero, where Crossbell is a vassal state that is held suzerain by the two dominant states surrounding it, Erebonia and Calvard. I first thought it was a typo too.

When starting, yes it's easy to replace code, even with a shitty design. If it had to take more than ten hundred thousands lines of code to realize that the design is wrong, then it means the author lacks enough awareness or foresight

Probably not literally without cost, but if the code was written with disposability in mind combined with just a little bit of pre-planning, then rewriting or refactoring should be indeed trivial.

I can't seem to find such videos, but regardless, how many videos are there? How many of those are actually just fabricated to attract views? I'm really skeptical if there's really a whole community of flat-earthers. There ar

I don't have any numbers on this, but I'm certain lots of "flat-eathers" are just trolls that enjoys annoying people who tries to act smug and smart, but in actuality failed to get the humour behind the flatness of earth

This is funny because a lot of the classics fit in that category, especially the ones that was dug after the author's death and was published despite the author's will. If what you say is true, then some lovers of classic litera

I may be missing something, but how do you get this to work vscode? It couldn't find the type definitions. But other than that, deploying works just fine.

It seems to be good in theory, but I'm not really buying into any of the implementations of ECS, CGS or whatnot until they have a working, non-trivial example. If they have really thought it far enough, then they should have at least h

Weird as in it goes against well-established practices. If there are good, compelling reasons to disallow multi-line lambdas, other languages would have adopted it. But no, the opposite is happening, newer and recent languages actually have

by runald 5y ago
Have you actually used other languages like clojure, haskell, kotlin, go or ruby? Python is the weird one here for not allowing multi-line lambdas. There are legitimate and actual useful cases for multi-line lambdas, disallowing them does m

Agreed, but this is only a problem is you are biting more than you can chew. You can either learn the unfamiliar words to increase the comprehension rate, or find a material that is more suitable to your comprehension level. Comprehensible

For some people, being unemployed (even mostly) means living on the streets and eating scraps of food to get by, so I do not understand what you are trying to signal here when you say can still be generous and donate despite being mostly un

I'm far from being an academic, but if I were to make a less snarky interpretation, "not unreasonable" would be written if the reasonableness isn't binary, meaning that "not unreasonable" doesn't necessari

By readable, I think you mean you get to read some whole words thereby get the impression of better readability, but in actuality it doesn't not necessarily aid comprehension if you don't know anything about taylor series, or math

I already use golang for work, and now I'm just doing a little toy project in nim. What I like most about nim is that it has generics, and produces binaries with small size. I'm creating a graphical program with a http server runn

Too bad nim uses a whitespace-sensitive syntax like python, something I personally dislike.

If you are comparing reading code with reading books, then surely you have read books that have unfamiliar words that you have to lookup the definition, and then you might have to recursively lookup the unfamiliar words in the definition as

No, I meant if you think helpers are anti-pattern that results into a spaghetti code, then you must also think that standard libraries are an anti-pattern mess. I don't think there's a standard library that doesn't have helpe

What about the "helpers" found in the standard library? How do you feel about those things?

You don't need even a static generator really, even just cat header.html page1.html footer.html > build/page1.html would work

by runald 6y ago
Depends on how many times you repeat yourself. A dozen of times? Sure. A hundred times? I don't think so. You can write a program that programmatically replaces the footer and header, provided that the content and layout is properly se

If you had to tediously write it over and over in proofs, why can't just you give it a name or an abstraction? ↑ As you would do in programming.

This one will have a dot. Edit: Seems to be true, but porpoise's comments is a clear counterexample.

I'm not a Swede, but if an random person that I don't know waves at me for no discernible reason, I too would be cautious. Although, it's not clear if you wave at everyone you see, or just at people you need to interact with

It sure is easy moving the goalposts around when you have no grounds to base on. Please, please you have said this much and haven't still even once defined what true functional programming™ is? > It's unfunctional by definition
