I agree. 100 lines of code may be 3x better than 300 lines of code, but 1 line of code isn’t 3x better than 3 lines of code.

I’ll be editing PDFs with standard Mac software that comes with the OS while Windows charges a fee to edit text files.

Yes. I learned this from Haskell. I like Haskell, but it has a lot of very granular functions.

Earlier comment said that breaking up 1 function into 3 improves readability? Well, if you really want readability then break it up into 30 functions using Haskell. Your single function with 25 lines will become 30 functions, so readable (/s).

In truth, there’s a balance between the two. Breaking things up into function does have advantages, but, as you say, it makes it more likely that you’ll have to jump around a lot to understand a single process.

Shorter code is almost always better.

Should you use a class? Should you use a Factory pattern or some other pattern? Should you reorganize your code? Whichever results in the least code is probably best.

A nice thing about code length is it’s objective. We can argue all day about which design pattern makes more sense, but we can agree on which of two implementations is shorter.

It takes a damn good abstraction to beat having shorter code.

You’d kill for it, yes, but would you update your resume for it? When was the last time you sent out your resume?

Schedule meetings with them and then don’t show.

I’ve come up with the following rules for my own relationship with Reddit.

1. I will avoid posting on Reddit.
2. If I do post on Reddit, I must make a similar post on another forum, maybe Lemmy, maybe somewhere else.

Number 2 is important because it helps other small communities grow.

It’s not a problem if a lot of people post on one forum, but it is a problem if a lot of people post only on one forum. I wont allow myself to post only on Reddit.

That said, I haven’t posted on Reddit since June.

The turned the lights on so bright that one guy had to squint, makes him look like he’s smiling.

“We have ways of making you smile…” – The police mugshot guy probably

This reminds me of around 2000, when I had a Daewoo television, and then my mind was blown one day when I saw a Daewoo car. Who makes televisions and cars? Daewoo apparently.

This reminds me of the reports I’ve heard about numerous tesla owners being trapped inside their EVs after they lost power.

The precompiled implementation is the only supported way to use the macros that are published in serde_derive

That statement is straight up gaslighting.

The precompiled binary is only provided for one platform, Linux. Windows does not use a precompiled binary but compiles its own from the source. How can he claim it’s the “only supported way”, when for most platforms he is doing it another way? Also, the crate, throughout most of its life, has been doing it another way.

I’m going to express the logic in plain English: “If message is from somebody on this short list, do not show it.”

Let everyone judge for themselves the competence of engineers who created a system where such logic is computationally expensive.

They can still ask me to join their Patreon using PeerTube.

Are your hands small enough to reach the bottom?

At this rate Skynet will be like “I’m going to nuke the world on X data, I’ve already taken over all the launch computers, but I’m not going to tell you or it would ruin my plans.”

These LLMs “think” by generating text, and we can see what that text is. It reminds me of this scene from Westworld (NSFW, nudity): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnxJRYit44k

I work in tech and have enjoyed good salaries, I wish everyone was so fortunate.

As for myself, it would actually be a huge relief to know that there are many career options for me that paid just as well, because sometimes I really want to do something else. If wages had grown fairly, then a lot more people would be making 100,000+.

Yeah, the brightest minds of recent generations are figuring out how to get people to watch ads. We probably could have had fusion energy by now, but instead have ads.

Hope my bank likes paying people to answer my calls, because that’s how I’ll be interacting with them if I can’t use a web page.

That depends on whether or not people are Pokemon?
