Even the Holy See speaks English. Sometimes speaking the language everyone else understands is just being a decent guy.

Cave of Steel.

No. 3 is actually the opposite of gerrymandering. That “headphone district” connects two Latino communities https://youtu.be/A-4dIImaodQ?t=833

It’s not always gerrymandering. See my response to @Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works.

I don’t even want to write that into a log message.

Why not? It’s a perfectly human readable representation of that duration, just as intended by ISO.

what the hell am I supposed to do with that?

Just as an example, we use that format to communicate durations between the frontend and backend.

Why would python even expose the current line number? What’s it useful for?

validators is a shitty name for something that actually does type conversion.

I thought all trains were only from and to Paris, so you’d have to change trains at most once, whether you’re going from Marseille to Toulon or from Caen to Le Havre.

People throwing thrash on the way usually is a sign of not enough trash cans in an area.

No. I regularly see trash on the ground with sometimes as much as 5 trash cans in sight that are less than 20m away.

Are the legend markers not ordered? Or is ‘Left-hand traffic with exceptions’ really more ‘left-hand’ than ‘Left-hand traffic’?

If you cut yourself with a knife, it might be your fault. And it might be that the knife is sharp on both sides and has no handle.

Completely depends on how often you need to write boilerplate code, and how error-prone it is.

After writing hundreds of instances of ‘fetch this from the server and show an error if it doesn’t work’, I finally wrote a helper for that. It took 2 hours, shouts at me if I use it wrong, and instantly makes my classes easier to read because all the boilerplate is gone. As an added bonus, the invocation is so small that Copilot can write it error-free, which it couldn’t before.

So fetching things is now a thing of a few seconds instead of one minute with a chance of making a mistake. I say it’s worth it.

C) Write a highly specific, custom-tailored boilerplate generator that does 80% of the work and needs only a day or two to implement.

Umm… I don’t know what happened, exactly. When I first clicked the link to get a bigger picture, I somehow ended up on imgur, which only had a very low-resolution version. I could only find the big picture in the linked reddit, so I posted it.

I cannot reproduce this issue anymore, so I removed my comment.

The long ‘island’ north of Iceland and the long island to the left are probably the inhabited parts of Greenland. The north of Canada and the North of Russia seem to be very sparsely populated, too. So are the arid regions of Africa and Saudi-Arabia. According to my interpretation of this map.

Coding must be a nightmare if you’re choosing programming languages at random 😱

But you must also be learning quite a lot.

Programs aren’t written by a single team of developers that speak the same language. You’d be calling a library by a Hungarian with additions from an Indian in a framework developed by Germans based on original work by Mexicans.

If no-one were forcing all of them to use English by only allowing English keywords, they’d name their variables and functions in their local language and cause mayhem to readability.

[Edit:] Even with all keywords being forced to English, there’s often half-localized code.

I can’t find the source right now, but I strongly believe that Steve McConnell has a section in one of his books where he quotes a function commented in French and asks, “Can you tell the pitfall the author is warning you about? It’s something about a NullPointerException”. McConnell then advises against local languages even in comments

Even international waters (or, as I just googled, the “high seas”, as is the more appropriate term) have laws. Usually you are subject to the laws of the ship’s flag state.

Too bad being dead gives the −100% strength debuff.

[Edit:] Sorry, I didn’t realize that this was the thread that took “die in funeral” part literally.
