Let us gay.

Sounds like something an Emacs user would say

Disregarding the trivial exceptions… waves hands

Or a maths nerd!

Literate programming as an ideal works at very very high level and very very low level. Plumbing code often doesn’t benefit from comments at all, and is the usually the most subject to refactoring. Code by amateurs/neophytes is often not gonna be written in such a way that a clear description of the intention or mechanics is achievable by the coder. Unobtainable standard, smh. I like comments with a ‘why’ at the top and a ‘what’ at the bottom (of the stack. I’m talking about abstraction layers. Why am I doing this piece of logic in the code you can clearly understand at the top, what the fuck am I doing these weird shenanigans with a fucking red-black tree of all things in this low level generic function)

Sometimes you just need to document the business reason behind what you’re doing, regardless of how clear the code might be 😆

For a month or two I still kept the app on my phone. As a memento.

Reddit’s official UX experiences suck balls

That’s bollocks, their first album was 2000

Edit: just checked, actually their first album was 1999. Although what they have to do with 50 shades of grey…

Some of them, sometimes. But some are adulated and free and contribute vast swathes to our culture and understanding.

Yes, I think this a more compelling take

It’s not the same joke because, it’s a more honest attempt to imagine a plausible scenario in which unconscious prejudice may manifest. Apache attack helicopter is obviously absurd. AI sentience is just very unlikely something that is not currently a prejudice we find ourselves exposed to and may speculate we’d end up being adverse to

Yeah, jeez, that sort of mechanophic language should be illegal

I like that song. Perhaps a perfect encapsulation of some specific part of the 60s mythos. I can only speculate.

Am Newcastle. Can confirm.

Well that makes sense

As more and more libraries are open source on GitHub or gitlab or sourceforge or whateverthefuck, asking questions on the libraries themselves (as an issue) is often the right thing to do, too… Less centralised than SO but also the only people who care about how to do things in a lib are people using the lib, so…

Wellllll the implications of the ending of 28 weeks later is that the rest of the world had a reprieve but are fucked eventually…

Even there you need some basic critical thinking. Wildly impossible figures (e.g a human height of 1.84cm) should not be slavishly and blindly transcribe, y’know?

Name just one job where critical thinking isn’t important

Yeah you can basically completely disregard any other aspect in this study, right? ‘massive trauma in early life has strong impact’ is the real finding here, and that’s hardly a new one
