What's going on with all the Uncle Bob hate nowadays? I last heard about him ~6-8 years ago when people were preaching his sentiments about clean code and TDD. I agree with some of his stuff, e.g. he was the one who convinced me how im

Also in lots of cases you are in a hurry to meet that deadline that compromises code quality. Better to leave a comment in this case than nothing

> Code comments? Nah. This is one of my biggest gripes. Someone (I think uncle bob) said that good code is self-documenting, which is bs in 95% of the cases. Yeah, you don't need to document the convertMinsToSecs() method, but most

How do you know from this little context? People are so jumpy nowadays, which will lead just to misunderstandings and bad decisions/witch hunts.

All these custom stylesheets and extensions are nice, but still are a clunky workaround and sometimes a potential security issue

I don't think so either. We will likely be able to create something that self-replicates under similar circumtances what we think were in the primordial soup. And we will call this thing (or after some more research things) as possible

This is a gross overstatement. They excluded a very tiny part of the population (my guess is under 0.1%), nowadays you cant find a material that no one is allergic to.

InOpenScad you cannot edit models via mouse. You write scripts that look like this: // Outer box depth boxDepth = 60; // Lid height lidHeight = 10; module closeTab() { translate([-5, boxDept

it would need lots of performance finetuning, the current game lags on big explosions on my i7 7700 CPU. Simulating lots of pixels at once is very CPU heavy.
