I've been saying the same thing for years. Everything should be legal, prohibition just causes more problems. We learned this lesson with alcohol already. Making it legal we could have things sold over the counter in pharmacies with pr

Sarcasm, right?

by sfn42 1y ago
Yeah, I'm not saying it to be mean I'm just calling it as I see it. Can't recall if it was the article or a comment or both, but someone mentioned that it's hard to understand API docs in some cases because it relies on

by sfn42 1y ago
That's not what anyone said. We both said examples are great. They're just not more important than proper API docs. They're not the best. The best is thorough api docs. The rest is nice to have. And I'm not no true scots

by sfn42 1y ago
Nobody said don't add examples. Just don't do it before creating proper API docs.
366.
by sfn42 1y ago
This is the right answer. Everyone who disagrees with you are amateurs. A Javadoc-esque API doc is the minimum requirement for a serious language/library. Examples and tutorials are nice too, but the API doc can be automatically genera

I've recently chosen plain CSS for a project at work. Haven't got that far yet as it's been mostly backend work so far but for what had been done it's been good. I'm just a bit worried that it's going to look w

If you're going to deny people just because they haven't had a chance to work on more exciting stuff yet you will skip a lot of good candidates.

If you are referring to my post, it's about web applications. I'm not in any way claiming that postgres is a crud app. I'm describing how to design a good web application that mostly revolves around a database. Which is what

Dapper is nice, but what you don't get as far as I know is migrations. With EF the app just spins up the whole DB from scratch which is great for onboarding or when you just needed a new laptop etc. Also EF is fine as long as you know

by sfn42 1y ago
Yeah, that's essentially what I mean when I say crud app. It's basically a web api written in something like C# or whatever you prefer, which receives HTTP requests and translates them into DB operations. CRUD and views basically.

Collaboration and the whole editor UI in general is a much more complex task than your average glorified PDF with some dynamically rendered data. It's not the Pinnacle of complexity, just more complex than your average app.
373.
by sfn42 1y ago
Yeah, but based on my own experience, most of the time complexity exists because devs suck. I know because I've simplified lots of code written by others, because rewriting it is simpler than maintaining their huge mess.

I'm in that boat, everything is just a crud app. I've worked on some fairly complex apps but at their core they were crud apps and most of their complexity were caused by bad developers overcomplicating and fumbling things. That&#

I do have the cash, but I'm happy with my Opel Corsa-E that I bought used for mostly money I had sitting in my checking account. It has heated seats, heated steering wheel, AC, backing camera/sensors, uses electricity which means

by sfn42 1y ago
Same. I just bought pretty much the cheapest used EV I could find that looked alright to me and had enough range. Happy as a clam. I'm not interested in wasting tens of thousands of dollars on slightly more comfortable seats and stuff

Strongly agree. Our expertise is why we are there, when I tell my managers that something is important, they listen. We need this feature, but before we can build this feature we need to make some changes to one or a few parts of the system

The only problem here is apple. Just don't buy apple products and you're fine. You can have. A windows or Linux pc and use Google sheets or whatever. I don't know whether the office suite is available on Linux but you have op

Transparent silicone exists so I don't see why it would be a problem

No worries, I should have added /s to make it clearer.

Yeah man that's what they do. They sell it at a loss in Canada and then profit in the US to make up the loss. That's definitely how it works. Let's hope they never discover that they could just not sell it in Canada at all an

I feel like I can intuit these things pretty well but others can't. For example I see everyone talking about LLMs replacing developers and I'm over here thinking there is absolutely no way an LLM is replacing me any time soon. I&#

A person who can't feel anything would struggle to reach around an obstacle, find a bolt they can't actually see, and thread a nut onto it. I've done that and similar things many times. Touch is important. It may not be essen

It's exactly the same thing man. 34 million people is pretty unfathomable too. One person can't truly represent all those just like one person can't truly represent 340 people. Unless of course those 340 people all self selec

by sfn42 1y ago
I'm not sure what your way is exactly but I also treat coding as a craft and I'd say it's far more commercially viable than what most other devs are doing. I design systems that are efficient, do what they need to do and noth

Sure, a broken clock is right twice a day. And sure, you can be smart and vote for Trump. Maybe you just genuinely want the chaos and his policies. It's probably good for some people. But it's not good for normal people. Normal pe

People misuse expressions. A common one is the customer is always right. The actual wording is the customer is always right in matters of taste but people cut off the ending which changes it from a sensible and useful proverb to a bunch of

Maybe you could enlighten me? Cause it looks to me like he won an election. I watch Trump speak and it just baffles me that anyone could possibly take him seriously. It's so abundantly clear that the guy just makes shit up on the spot,

When they stop voting for him, and when the people who are supposedly against him actually get off the couch and vote against him, how about that?
