Agreed, and it would probably be my preference. The code referenced here is pretty extreme NOT providing the guidance, hence my response to the poster defending the extreme and ridiculing the good practice.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31361023#31365022 Ridiculing the value of documentation does not make you look smart. It rather hints at lack of experience with truly complex systems or collaboration in teams.

Well done, and I respect your strict method. I still doubt you cover "all cases". Even for a simple problem (e.g. given three integers interpreted as side lengths, decide if they result in a equilateral, isosceles, or scalene tria

One other change: the gradual introduction of weapons and violence-related styling. Back in the 80s some "minifigs" may have had sad faces, but never angry/violent ones. That changed a lot over time. https://en.wik

There are millions who recovered from a car crash. Are studies of those who sustained injury all propaganda of insurance companies?

Well, maybe it should. I'm not in favor of handing out prison sentences, but that's probably what the victim faced. Eye-for-eye is a bad strategy, but no consequences for such accusations is not a solution.

IMHO the biggest issue that blocked Perl's broader adoption was the really obfuscated handling of nested data structures including objects. Anything beyond array of arrays or hash of hashes was a pain. It was and it still is way superi

Possibly, but company culture transcends the immediate team. And if your business model is based on data siphoned off every possible channel, the concern is very justified.

Possibly, but that is missing the point. A card deck should aid you in building your own model rather than forcing dumb memorization. A good card is one that highlights what is important for you to memorize. While preparing the card, one sh

The interesting bit would be: are the 10 KB even persisted, or are they discarded after decode? IANAL, but can well imagine this could have an impact on the interpetation of purpose.

Wrong measure. COBOL is verbose (and I hate this), but the fit-for-purpose should not be measured in LOC. It's how natural it is to perform the work, and how easy it's for your successor to maintain your program.

We can debate and dispute this, but I'd rather propose: take a closer look at how this is handled in COBOL, and you'll re-evaluate. In shortest words: variable declaration is also used as I/O format specification. Pretty much

For anyone criticizing COBOL for inducing alleged brain damage: yes, it is an old language, but it's a domain-specific language. The use case was processing of record-based inputs in an administrative context, based on a technology mil

While the commercial plug at the end surely is annoying, the video presents an interesting concept. Is it time to re-evaluate with current technology, or will it die just like ideas of Zeppellin use for bulk transport?

I see a commendable effort, but am very concerned about the treatment of security/privacy topics. If we educate our front-end developers like that, web security will remain an unwanted bolt-on providing minimum protection and no regard
