I think, they have a point about the spec being both enormous and underspecified, and that there should be other ways to have and query relational data.

But yeah, it looks like some of the points are a bit blown out of proportion. I especially liked those monstrosities of queries that are examples of how the same thing computes different results (but it shouldn’t be allowed, really)

I’m more interested in how do you navigate system menus and such, or does DE manage this? I’ve tried one Linux distro recently without a mouse attached and it was painful because some elements of the system UI are not accessible in any way

I mean the time when games from 90’s were just games, because it was 90’s

What I meant to say is that they can easily use both a phone and a PC, and still think it’s arcane and cryptic. Even if they needed to tinker with it, e.g. a lot of DOS games required me to set IRQ, and I still don’t know precisely what it is

I’m afraid this required much more tinkering back in the day, and will be way less educational now. Maybe building and running a PC from 2005 or earlier will require the same level of getting to know things, but otherwise it will not teach to not treat computer as arcane and enigmatic, imo

Probably not fans of Nintendo or something

That’s how it should be, not how it is

I think what they meant is nobody in management cares if someone wants to hold them accountable

Bit it’s a nice picture, yeah

I’ve been to a very large capital in Europe recently, there’s been a whole three toilets when I needed one, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes away, and the best part is when I got to them, all were inaccessible because they are located inside of the park that closes doors at 18:00 (before that, in fact). The toilets are even marked 24h on the map, very convenient.

So yeah, even not considering drunk people, there are not nearly enough toilets in a lot of places.

Well, they claim that statistically the problem became less severe, so maybe it does work

‘Clean Code’ by Uncle Bob is a good place to start when answering these questions.

And here I was, almost agreeing. Clean code is defining quality through aesthetics, and that book is a very bad advice of how to define anything

Yeah, there are maybe a couple of reasonable ideas like using background and making comments stand out more, but that’s it. Especially weird is the idea about light theme not being used because of syntax highlight

I feel like GPU is massively parallel but still somewhat sync, but I’m not sure.

But what I think about the article is that it mixes a lot of wishful thinking into reality. There were other CPU architectures, including ones without synchronisation, and most of them never left research. In part because current architecture is abundant, but I think that also because making something complicated work async is quite hard.

Same as many long debunked concepts, sometimes even declared wrong by their own original author, it will continue to have followers and will never completely fade away. For this reason I don’t think that talking about it sometimes is a wrong thing

Just wanted to get back to tell that I tried graph1 to mess around with non-linear projection, it seemed like an interesting crate but it felt like it’s a bit too low level for doing a GUI with it.

Agree, setting up rustfmt and then battling other developers about it’s settings is not very fun. But having a standard tool with configurable settings that can be stored right in the repository is immensely better than not

“Why” comments are of course included in “we don’t need that” category

I think my manager is strongly Clean Code inclined. More than once they removed comments, because they will become outdated anyway (so there’s no use explaining what is going on at all, right? Right‽)

I thought it would be useful for filling and finding metadata, but I don’t think it can do that

Most of what I know comes from this educational video 🦇
