Yes it’s real

So the big important part of git is that it’s a collection of commits. A branch is just a labeled commit and each commit is a list of what changed from the parent. Rebasing (the most confusing one for people) is when you fiddle with a commit from underneath yourself. Or in even more simple terms editing a parent commit. Rebasing is extremely powerful but most useful for when you notice a bug you wrote a couple commits ago. Fixing such issues via rebase (or !fixup commits you auto squash at the end) keeps your history clean. It’s as though you never wrote the bug. The other thing you do a lot with rebasing is moving your branch up in the history cause somebody updated the remote.

Wow, that looks like a nightmare

Yep that’s why I refuse to use standard libraries. It just makes my code too complicated…

Elon pretended to lean left. He was and never has been left leaning. He’s been the same old guy this entire time it’s just continuing to be more and more difficult to pretend otherwise.

Yup, libraries should usually let the consumer chose what to do with an error, not crash the program without a choice in the matter. The only real exception is performance critical low level code such as the core of a graphics or audio driver. Though in those cases crashing also often isn’t an option, you just power through and hope things aren’t too screwed up.

Permits is only required when the compiler can’t see the extending classes. IE inner classes can extend without needing to be written out in a permits clause. This isn’t really that useful but I’ve taken advantage of it more than once so who knows

It’s almost always a risk to other people. I can’t think of a vaccine that is for a non-communicable disease.

Tetanus? Least I didn’t think that was contagious

It’s the same impact. It’s the same amount of microplastic it just takes longer. If I give you the choice of 100 beans today or 1 bean each day for 100 days it’s still 100 beans. The total impact is identical it just takes longer.

Semantic whitespace is awful because whitespace (something that you can’t actually see) has meaning in how the program runs. Braces { } for scopes gives you the ability to easily tell at a glance where a scope ends. Whitespace doesn’t allow for that. Especially, especially when you can accidentally exit a scope (two new lines in a row with Python) and it’s not actually an error (Pythons global scope). Yeah formatters and linters make this less of an issue but it sucks… Languages with legible symbols for scoping are significantly easier to reason about, see end symbols in Lua.

It erases the type of what your pointing at. All you have is a memory location, in contrast to int* which is a memory location of an int

Smart pointers model ownership. Instead of (maybe) a comment telling you if you have to free/delete a returned pointer this information is encoded into the type itself. But that’s not all, this special type even handles the whole deleting part once it goes away.

Since they model ownership you should only use them when ownership should be expressed. Namely something that returns a pointer to a newly allocated thing should be a std::unique_ptr because the Callie has ownership of that memory. If they want to share it (multiple ownership of the object) there’s a cheap conversion to std::shared_ptr.

How about a function that takes in an object cause it wants to look at it? Well that doesn’t have anything to do with ownership so make it a raw pointer, or better yet a reference to avoid nullability.

What about when you’ve got a member function that wants to return a pointer to some memory the object owns? You guessed it baby raw pointer (or again reference if it’ll never be null).

Um what? I didn’t like hide extra meaning in what I said. High quality code doesn’t imply all that extra shit you added. It’s code that’s easy to read and modify. Typically this just means you name stuff well and document things that aren’t obvious. Usually my docs explain why something exists since thinking it’s unnecessary cause you don’t remember what the original problem was a common occurrence before I started doing so.

Is high quality code ran through a formatter? I’d hope so yeah. There should be a consistent code style across the entire project. Doesn’t matter what it it long as it’s consistent.

100% code coverage is meaningless and as such a pointless metric. Also 100% coverage is explicitly tied to the implimentaion as all code paths have to be reached which is obviously not a good idea (tests have to change when the implimentaion changes as you’re testing the implimentaion not the api).

Really a lot of this is just meaningless buzz words as an attempt at some sort of gotcha. Really don’t understand how you even interpreted a statement so simple in this way.

Ah sure, like scripts and stuff. I have some absolutely atrocious python hanging out to help me do shit. I don’t have like any actual projects that are just a trash fire though

I don’t really get the code point. Like your own code written for personal projects is probably gonna be pretty high quality I’d hope? Sometimes we just write trash to get something finished but soon as I’ve had to change it… hell yeah I’m unfucking that mess, no way do I want to figure out what it does a second time.

The availability of guns and the mental health of the members in our society?

JetBrains might not be my friend but they don’t hold anywhere near the dev tool monopoly Adobe does for artists. Know what happens if JetBrains starts to blow massive ass? I finally sit down and figure out how to get my terminal editor working with my LSP. Yeah I lose some productivity but not as much as I’d lose by using Visual Studio or fuckn Eclipse.

Well once they stop exploding next decade we can start working on that

They were born into a family who supports face eating leopards. That sucks! But now as an adult they’ve continued to support the face eating leopards. Sure being indoctrinated into a religion is a tough thing to break out of… but when you are being attacked by the very people who indoctrinated you it should rapidly become obvious they don’t have your best interest at heart.

What right investments? He was born into money and failed into getting anything from his X.com (banking!) website which was bought out by PayPal long after he was fired. The only reason he got anything out of that at all was he’d kept the stocks around.

He “invested” in Tesla so that he could get a cool car (he royally fucked over the actual founders in the process).

Low cost space? Low cost space? Do you live on Mars or some shit? Every one of those “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” events cost over one Billion. That ain’t cheap buddy.
