The dude who admitted on national tv to never washing his hands? Lmao
Reading through the specifics of what the guy’s said and done, clearly a good move
Is it bad if my first reaction to this is “I can fix her”? Like I feel like if I could just use it as a component system and pass simple types as props it would work nicely. But I suppose That defeats the purpose anyway. It sounds like a pain to use for anything beyond basic contexts.
I use PHP daily. The only thing that seems overly magical on a cursory glance is Livewire, but I’ll probably end up using Solid for the frontend anyway.

I thought this was a forum for Linux discussion, not promotion of fascists
What did they realize that they open sourced their product a decade too late for anyone to actually revive it?
dozen = 12 + 1; // one extra for the baker!
I got mad at this when I first saw it but then I remembered there’s some code at work that defines an hour as 50 minutes
Statistically, this makes your code better
Yeah…. I’ve definitely been the next guy on a couple bad regexes that I wrote
When versioning and feature flags are too hard: just use git and hope for the best
My old senior used to do this before he got laid off and now I’m charge of code that’s littered with old commented out code and no way to know why it was commented out.
Then it breaks years after you’ve left and someone has no choice but to touch it
I often use comments as ways to say, “I know this is cursed, but here’s why the obvious solution won’t work.” Like so:
/**
* The column on this table is badly named, but
* renaming it is going to require an audit of our
* db instances because we used to create them
* by hand and there are some inconsistencies
* that referential integrity breaks. This method
* just does some basic checks and translates the
* model’s property to be more understandable.
* See [#27267] for more info.
*/
Edit: to answer your question more directly, the “why not what” advice is more about the intent of whether to write a comment or not in the first place rather than rephrasing the existing “what” style comments. What code is doing should be clear based on names of variables and functions. Why it’s doing that may be unclear, which is why you would write a comment.
So this is admittedly the first genocide I’ve followed this closely in real time. Is it normal for them to just… announce what they’re doing the entire time? The general who drafted the plan posted it on YouTube? What?
Writing plain old JavaScript without a library or framework is nice while you’re learning. Too many people will learn a single framework and not have any idea what the underlying APIs are, so the transferable skills are minimal.
Companies doing austerity internally to own the clean energy enjoyers
Good post in general, but I disagree with this in particular. All technology is political. Not in a Democrat/Republican way but in a “how do we distribute resources within society?” way. Not to mention a big selling point for privacy tools is that they can be used by political dissidents. I think a problem does arise when a community manages to fool itself into believing it’s apolitical when what it’s really done is develop an orthodoxy to shut down political discussion.
