Or on a pepper steak pie ⋎(❉_❉)⋎. Cutting off the top, putting the sauce in there and mixing it in with the gravy. Tasty.

arxdat , to programmerhumor in Popular Programming Book "Clean Code" is being rewritten
@arxdat@lemmy.ml avatar

There are no inherent “rules” in software development. These books are useless and a waste of time. They offer nothing but CS Dogma and are actually against freedom of expression.

sus ,

Rules of thumb can be very useful for a relatively inexperienced programmer, and once you understand why they exist you can choose to ignore them when they would get in the way. Clean Code is totally unhinged though

doktormerlin ,

The problem is that a lot of people don’t understand when to ignore the rules and just stick with them forever.

We had a developer once that always said KISS KISS KISS whenever we pointed out that her functions are working but not reusable, so she wrote 20 functions that all did the same thing, but with slightly different parameters. And that’s just one of the examples

orcrist ,

CS often requires working in teams, and working it teams is often more efficient if you have some shared approaches.

bleistift2 ,

There are no inherent “rules” to language, either, but when you don’t followthemthingsgetmessyandyou’reannoyingforeveryoneelese.

Edit3: improved wording a bit, and added info below; forgot to add this edit


Legalize and regulate.

I share this view with other issues our society faces as well.


Edit: forgot why.

Why:

Sex work as well as drugs will never be outlawed or enforced fully; looking at drugs, it is used as an excuse to jail the working class for slave labor as well as other things when you follow the money.^[[1] The Wire - Daniels Follows the Money | 01:34 | youtu.be/9PaBt441FBQ]

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.^[[2] constitution.congress.gov/…/amendment-13/]

@LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world avatar

Apparently the squishmallows I got her are an obscene show of wealth, according to my family and her doggy daycare. I got them for like $10 each from Costco. She is a texture gal and always squishes and kneads her toys so I knew she’d love squishmallows. She sleeps with her head pushed onto one every night.

That sounds absolutely adorable!

xmunk , to nostupidquestions in Why do people complain about multiple streaming platforms existing?

They don’t compete with the same content but different features or pricing… they compete by forming fiefdoms of exclusive content. So the user still only has one option per show - not a real choice.

WatDabney , (edited ) to asklemmy in Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?

I don’t believe that my approval or anyone else’s is at all relevant.

My position is that there’s only one person who has the right to decide whether or not it’s acceptable to trade sex for money, and that’s the person entering into the trade. Assuming that all other contractual requirements are met - they’re of legal age and acting of their own free will and so on - it’s just as much their right to trade sex for money as to trade ditch digging or code writing or coffee brewing or meeting taking for money.

If the studios were smart they would put out there own high quality torrents and just charge a couple bucks a movie and send people a bill. I bet a lot of people would pay it. I would.

yuuunikki ,

I wouldn’t. I torrent to get stuff for free

Kolanaki , to nostupidquestions in Why do people complain about multiple streaming platforms existing?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

There could be 1 service that carries all the content and the companies that produce that content can still be paid without having to subscribe to 10 different services to get all the content you’re looking for. Like how Netflix worked before everyone decided to make their own platform and took damn near everything off Netflix.

There could be multiple services with the same content that compete on pricing or other services/features instead of holding content hostage.

Since they all hold different things hostage, you really do not have a choice where you watch the show/movie you want; it’s only on a specific service that has it.

Delphia ,

As much as Id like that, Id even settle for 1 app I can plug all my subscriptions into that shows me everything I have access to at once.

yuuunikki , to asklemmy in Atheists of Lemmy, is your partner religious?

Implying the average atheist is able to get a romantic partner is being generous

TheBananaKing , to asklemmy in Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?

Sex work is work.

The people that do it deserve respect, and all the social and legal protections that attach to any other kind of work.

Your own preferred attitude to sex isn’t the point.

Funkytom467 ,
@Funkytom467@lemmy.world avatar

But should it be work?

Should we really have a society where selling your body is an opportunity to make money.

For instance, it imply that some poor women are gonna take it regardless the consequence, just because it’s the best alternative to pay the bills.

I can barely tolerate the physical straining we put on some workers. Sex work’s consequences are unacceptable to me in that same sens, sometimes worse.

So sure, no matter your opinion we should respect them, and not incriminate them!

And of course not all sex work is the same… to be acceptable it just requires better conditions. It can’t be something you choose out of need.

Subtracty ,

Regulations would help, but create their own hurdles.

Funkytom467 ,
@Funkytom467@lemmy.world avatar

True and tested.

The best help is probably indirectly having better social policies overall. Although never perfect, the best we are the lesser the problem.

AgentRocket ,

selling your body

i hate that phrasing to describe sex work. no one is “selling their body”, as they are still in control of it. sex workers provide a service, same as a masseuse or hair stylist (except their service involves genitals) and it should be treated as such.

Otherwise one could argue that all (physical) labour is “selling your body”

boatswain ,

It seems to me like joining the military is arguably more deserving of the phrase “selling your body”; you’re basically signing up to get injured or killed.

Lemjukes ,

It’s not even an argument really, it’s the undeniable logical conclusion that trading your labor and/or time for compensation is work, period.

Funkytom467 ,
@Funkytom467@lemmy.world avatar

I think the “body” in that expression is quite specifically referring to genitals, or the selling of your intimacy.

Because that’s what’s different from any other physical labour, the part of your body involved. That’s the specific problem of sex work no?

Ptsf ,

It is a high risk job along the lines of coal mining and such, since it will result in an increase in transmitted disease risk. It’s important to acknowledge that, but I am on the side of it being work. I just think we need strong protections in place and regulations to handle it akin to other dangerous jobs. Like, a sex work branch of OSHA.

For instance, it imply that some poor women are gonna take it regardless the consequence, just because it’s the best alternative to pay the bills.

How is this principally different from a poor person taking any shitty job to pay the bills? Like garbage collector or similarly unpleasant/disrespected jobs. The system always forces poor people to settle for shitty jobs. Sex work is not the issue there, the system is.

Funkytom467 ,
@Funkytom467@lemmy.world avatar

It’s different in nature. No other jobs infringe on your intimacy in this way.

I do agree the system is the problem, i also would advocate for better conditions for any difficult jobs.

oxomoxo ,

Therapist, hospice, nursing , sports medicine, massage… a lot of jobs require some level of physical or mental intimacy.

Funkytom467 , (edited )
@Funkytom467@lemmy.world avatar

Therapist is another topic, with problems of mental intimacy indeed.

The rest is the patient’s intimacy that you have to deal with. It is a vastly different intimate experience to wash a genitalia and be penetrated. And so, vastly different consequences for your well being.
