Just because you do it frequently doesn’t necessarily make it good. Your approach increases the function’s cyclomatic complexity. The struct requires the caller to dictate the function’s inner logic instead of the function logic being drive

For a while I also thought this. If these bigots don't want money then let them go without. Then I thought about what desegregation looked like in this country. It only applied to government institutions so private businesses hung &quo

For a few years now in the US I have found some TV shows _only_ released on DVD. Shows that aired in HD. The industry tries to understand the market, e.g. the valid examples shared here, and they simply ignore the now smaller blu ray market

Two stories of individual experiences eating raw meat compared to “most vegans”. Don’t account for starting health, genetic disposition, or economic status. Since we’re judging health purely on your esthetic definition of “looking better”,

I have had multiple conversations with multiple devs about it being ok to use a table tag when the display is an actual table i.e. columns and rows of data with headers etc. It’s semantically correct! One occasion was for a project wherein

This. If YouTube were independent I would also be inclined to buy Premium. I already pay for several other streaming services. I do not want Google tracking my viewing habits (you must log in to use Premium) just so they can sell targeted a

You think people in the future will have experiences in the real world with other real humans. That their buddy isn’t a bot algorithmically refined to maximally connect with it’s user. And that the user can power down their ocular implant.

I was at the house of the owner of a company I worked for. I mentioned my amusement at seeing a school bus in this very rural area on the way to his house. He complained that he didn’t have kids so he didn’t see why he should have to pay fo

I would remind you that Microsoft disowned MFC and aggressively pushed all developers off of win32api once .net was released. Then they went about rewriting visual studio in .net and possibly the office suite as well. I hope Apple doesn’t a

Godot uses a similar object oriented approach as Unity. For ECS, you might keep an eye on Bevy[1]. It’s still not mature but its team has been making progress. Even Unity and Unreal had to start somewhere. [1] https://bevyengine.

Since its beginnings the FDA has always genuflected to business. Many people in the department worked hard to document toxins that the American public were being exposed to (e.g. arsenic and coal tar used as food coloring, formaldehyde and

Warning to anyone with a physical C64, there are a couple memory addresses that if you poke them it will fry your monitor or your drive. Maybe this was a rumor as I can no longer find the source of this info but it would be a shame if someo

I like the simplicity of the language. What I did not like was the complete denial of functional patterns for problem solving. The language has first class functions but language's "best practices" and the core library are im

You know you can already write doc comments in Javascript code. It doesn't require changing the language. IntelliJ parses these comments when providing code insight. Yet in my entire career I have found that I am the only dev that writ

I was told by a friend that when they uploaded a picture with me in it Facebook auto tagged me. I have never created a Facebook or Instagram account. I want no business with that company. I am annoyed that I am still profiled by them.

I have also thought about this. We use to have limited tv channels and limited radio stations. On any given day, there was a greater possibility that you shared an experience with your work colleague, your neighbor, or even a stranger. We s

Same setup and same reasons. Other advantages are that tactile buttons feel great and the games are designed to be a complete experience i.e. no in app purchases.

Funny, I have the reverse opinion. I think VSCode's UI is obtuse and the default theme is awful. I will agree that IntelliJ's UI is busy but I know where all the tools are. Reminds me of Photoshop in that regard. I appreciate not

No, my argument is that TS makes writing code easier and that easier does not equal to quality [0]. I have been writing code for more than 20 years. Personally, TS doesn't impress me. This is not meant as a criticism. Personally, I hav

I have read this book and recommend it other devs. It is a great example of using types effectively and writing good functional code. I have worked on several TS projects and none even had a glimpse of the patterns explored in that book. Th
