The last post that was federated to LW is from three days ago, and I can't see the community at all via https://programming.dev/c/programmer_humor
Ew no.
Abusing language features like this (boolean expression short circuit) just makes it harder for other people to come and maintain your code.
The function does have opportunity for improvement by checking one thing at a time. This flattens the ifs and changes them into proper sentry clauses. It also opens the door to encapsulating their logic and refactoring this function into a proper validator that can return all the reasons a user is invalid.
Good code is not "elegant" code. It's code that is simple and unsurprising and can be easily understood by a hungover fresh graduate new hire.
I have either written or gotten a variant of every single one of these comments 🫠:
Please include the JIRA task in the commit title.
Did you run any manual testing?
Where's the PRD link in the commit message?
Can you please split this into multiple smaller commits?
Can you combine these two commits?
Did you email Jon about this because he's working on that project with Sarah and you might be duplicating efforts.
This should be named BarFoo instead of FooBar.
Why aren't you using CorporateInternalLib16 that does 90% of this?
Why aren't you using ThirdPartyPaidLibByExEmployee?
Why aren't you using StandardLib thing you forgot existed?
All our I/O should be async.
All our hot loop code needs to be sync.
This will increase latency of NonCoreBusinessFlow by 0.01%. can you shave some time off so we can push in feature B also?
Please add a feature flag so we can do gradual rollout.
What operational levers does this have?
Lgtm - just address those comments
Red circles are deprecated in favor of teal because of accessibility requirement WIP.DOnotUSE.14.g.2025.v0.
Whoosh
Seriously though, spring configurations are written in XML and you create variables, call functions, and have control flow. Effectively turning XML into a horrible twisted shadow of a programming language.
All in the name of "configurability" through dependency injection.
And here I was thinking that adding timezones for mars was going to be the biggest timezone headache in the next 5 years.
Dwarf Fortress almost made me fail a few courses in undergrad.
That is a game that redefines the concept of fun.
Whatever you do, make sure that you learn legally and avoid those horrible sites that steal the hard work of researchers and prevent publishers from properly incentivizing academic research by allowing just anyone to download research for free. You know, horrible sites like LibGen, SciHub, or Anna's archive.
Totally disgusting sites that you should definitely avoid.
The headline is misleading. From the article:
Dror Eydar, Israel’s former ambassador to Italy ... who is also a columnist with the Israeli daily newspaper Israel Hayom...
He is no longer in public service and does not represent Israeli interests in any official capacity.
...former Knesset member Moshe Feiglin...
He has not held public office since 2015.
Their statements are incredibly racist and dehumanizing, and have been condemned by the majority of the world. But they do not represent Israel in any official capacity. They are simply not newsworthy outside of documenting their existence on the off chance they reenter public life in the future.
I won't stoop to the New Arab's level of trawling for extremist wannabe politicians. I'll just look for a current Qatari public figure who are currently holding public office. That didn't take long.
It is indeed one and the same. This is the post that triggered this article (warning: it's long and not well organized): https://blog.cr.yp.to/20231003-countcorrectly.html
Credit where credit is due, DJB is usually correct even if he could communicate it better.
I'll try to stick to facts and not mix my opinions in:
Now for my personal speculation:
The anti-Israel crowd are basically the MTG and Boeberts of the Democratic party. Right on down to outlandish claims about crisis actors
