Where I live, I have to spend 500 years to either get volcano-like water, or Ice Age water. Moving it one atom completely changes the temperature.

cynar ,

If yours uses a thermal sensing element (not just mixing blind),I’ve found running it through its full temperature range helps a lot. I suspect limescale and other crap build up on the thermal element. It adds several years on to the life of the mixer. Descaling it would likely also work, but involves removing it from the pipes, to get the cleaner in.

    The kind bullshit that makes me extract a value from a cache I just calculated just to make sure it is working.

    Then someone refactors the stop sign into a speed limit sign, leaves the comment unchanged, and years later someone else gets the fun job of figuring out which comments are lies

    Also someone applied an auto code formatter to the entire codebase in the meantime, and the original file got moved a couple times, maybe just the path or into an entirely new repo

    That kind of depends. ANNs are basically utilizing the branchless programming paradigm, similarly to what you would do when programming for a GPU

    I mean… you gotta have them start the habit somehow

    bear_with_a_hammer ,

    I do neither, yes I do comment, but don’t apply it to easy code.

    The thing is I also make easy comments about hard stuff in the code, it’s like giving a cancerous puppy a reason to live :D

    Gallardo994 ,

    Let’s face it, such comments usually cause more problems than do good. If someone changes the code and forgets to modify the comment, the reader might favor one or another at random. “Stop sign” example isn’t the best but you get my point.

    Comments at best should explain some non-obvious logic, or some sort of reasons for implementing one way or another. For SDKs and packages overall, public APIs should also be commented. The rest imo should be readable from code.

    spader312 ,

    A form of “self documentation” I like to do is create variables for conditions before using it in an if statement. If you break down a funky conditional into easy to read variables it becomes a lot more clear what it’s trying to do.

    Idk how to write code on sync:

    
<span style="color:#323232;">const isHumid = xxxx;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">const isHot = yyyy;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">const isSunny = zzzzz;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">If (isHot &amp;&amp; isHumid &amp;&amp; isSunny) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

    If someone changes the code and forgets to modify the comment, the reader might favor one or another at random.

    Hence why you should comment why, not how/what.

    // slow down traffic before crossing busy main road

    Now you can change the stop sign to a yield without touching the comment. Or judge that the comment can be removed if it’s clear the main road does no longer exist.

    _danny ,

    Bad/wrong documentation is worse than no documentation.

    “Practice makes perfect” is only true if you’re practicing the right stuff. Otherwise you’re just reinforcing bad habits.

    I’ve actually been thinking that AI poses a substantial enough existential risk that it probably should be called Abominable Intelligence.

    I’m not sure we should start renaming things because you had thoughts.

    AI is fine. AI under capitalist control is horrifying.

    This is a good way to realise that you don’t need a function for that use case.

    coloredgrayscale ,

    If they need it often it makes some sense, if it also perform some checks, if the list if empty or None/null.

    coloredgrayscale ,

    What if I pass an empty list, or NoneType?

    RagingRobot ,

    Does this return a new list or modify the original? I would hope it returns a new one but I would know for sure if there was documentation.

    kablammy ,

    I would hope it modifies the original. It’s implied in the name. A function that returns all but the first item should be named something like tail or without_first_item.

    All monocultures suck.

    superbirra , in Would you agree?

    but GNU?

    It’s just that nobody gnu

    Sigmatics , in Would you agree?

    So you mean we would have weird useless concrete structures everywhere? I doubt it
