I was porting our old code from PHP to Go at a previous company. I laughed as I copied my then-six-year-old comment “I’m promised by xxxxx that this is a temporary measure <link to slack convo>”.

Asinine business logic can still make some things very hard to read and digest no matter how well-planned and well-written it is (particularly if it is rushed by the business meaning that engineers don’t have time to do it well). As such, there are places where code can’t/won’t be self-documenting to a useful degree.

Me, living in Japan: that’s cheap for pizza and a side!

Not even any places deliver to where I live now so I have to drive a couple towns over.

Thanks for explaining! I haven’t set foot in a datacenter since probably 2008ish, heh.

Yeah, I had never seen a connector that looks anything like that, but I figured I was just behind the times (since it didn’t look like Ethernet plugged into it to me)

As a programmer, I don’t even know what we’re looking at. A switch, I would guess, but I haven’t seen hardware in years. In any case wouldn’t “port 21 <bottom|top>” been better?

• Rust has safety and efficiency close to C
• Perl is processing most of your healthcare records
• Ada is doing space stuff
• Go is going places

People should be able to do this, at least for simple programs. We used to do it all the time.

In JS, it’s just NaN if my browser’s console is to be believed. I suspected it would probably be {object} for no clear reason

You didn’t include a version in your query. You also could try using quotes, though this specific entry may not be helped by it (e.g. “in operator”). For most things, you can click a link with the older version and somewhere there is typically a dropdown or something to change the version and, if not, you’ll at least know which section/etc. it is in in the new documentation.

If you don’t include a version, it’s probably going to pull up questions/answers that it finds most match in general and maybe people just aren’t asking that question for your version.

I think there’s a lot to hate about modern search results, but I also think there’s some opportunity to search better. I do miss the days when AND, OR, and NOT operators actually worked all the time and as expected.

The original computers were often women as well.

That’s really neat, but I don’t think I do that often enough to really make the performance hit of learning a whole new thing and memorizing keyboard shortcuts and commands worth it. I don’t find myself refactoring code a ton, especially after moving to a more TDD-like model.

You can set your default editor (maybe in .bashrc or .bash_profile? I forget), but I’m far too lazy.

As someone who’s been a software developer for over a decade and in IT even longer, I still don’t use vi/vim for anything other than when crontabs have it set as the editor.

those people are also listening to your music without paying.

True, but that doesn’t grant them a copy they can play anytime. This is also why I’ve always been fine with listening before buying.

I used to make music with a band. We had studio rent, transportation costs, etc. We would mostly break even on gigs between all our expenses. In the rare event we profited from a gig, it went back into the band. As a whole, we were losing money.

If someone pirated the music that I spent hours working on in the space I paid rent for, I am absolutely losing a sale that could really have helped me out and, with enough of them, even let us maybe do it full time. I was always fine with people wanting to try before buying, but liking and listening to the music we spent a ton of time and money to make and not paying me anything is shitty as a small band. Your argument basically ends with “BuT WE’rE PaYinG You In ExPOSure!!!” which is always shit.

I keep trying to click but I get SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG on all lemmy.today links and malwarebytes thinks the site is compromised (and has for at least weeks if not months). Hrm.

Edit: I was hoping someone might have something helpful to say as to why this might be, but sure just downvote instead.

Lots of stuff in Japan still runs Ruby/RoR, though I think it is slowly being replaced
