yeah you can go out of your way with line breaks if you really want, but most people aren't maliciously writing unreadably long compound lines and the 80 character ruler in a text editor is a handy marker to let you know it's time to reign it in a bit or time to write a drat function instead of a 5th nested scope block

Blarghalt posted:Musk will either 2 would be the best way for this all to end. Musk's Tesla malfunctions and locks him in after a crash, then it's lovely batteries catch fire and burn him to death. A Tesla team of lawyers show up to argue and threaten first responders into not implicating Tesla in the cause of death.

Bad Purchase posted:the coding standard that hasn't been updated at work since the 90s still specifies an 80 character column max, and i enforce that with delight in code reviews because it really does prevent a lot of abuse like WebBrowser.ApplyPreferences(storage.GetUserData(browser.GetAttributes("loggedInUserID")).visualPrefs) 80 columns max rules. Beyond forcing a sane style, being able to fit two columns of code side-by-side on a laptop is an absolute godsend.

Saw a short video explaining why not use emojis as variable names? why can't setting someone's birthday be simply 🎂= user.birthday; God, explaining it just gives me more headaches

the best solution is to get your teams to adopt an auto formatter and run all files through it before committing them, but that can be too disruptive on legacy projects where that would basically make every file show up as brand new in the diffs. also works really well for some stuff like python with well defined community standards and mostly sensible syntax, but i've never found a c++ formatter that does a good job and can figure out the twisted nightmare of preprocessor macros generating templates and stuff like that.

A lot of modern languages even come with their own standard formatting tools to enforce code style. They don’t fix godawful variable names though.

Why have humans around to code when he could just use AI to build twitter. Just dump the codebase into github's copilot, mix it with siri, and you're done, you can ask it to code for you.

Just dump the codebase into github's copilot, mix it with siri, and you're done, you can ask it to code for you. honestly, I think a good open source AI tool that is not copilot will come along and do this. what the new tool or copilot will give you something to run to do what you ask it will also not be efficient if you go beyond something like "//open file" or anything that requires to be fast and efficient. every night we had all of Europe's credit card transactions come in for our clients. the file was 4gigs compressed. Since it was just text, it expanded into ungodly massive size. You cannot ask copilot to write a db query to load terabytes of data and expect the result to be fast. The database admins made their salt by making efficient staged loads so it didn't take all day to load the data.

At a glance it's kind of astonishing the night and day difference between the number of hangers on seen on Twitter vs Reddit, I wonder how much of this is Musk manipulating his engagement numbers. I wouldn't put it past him to give himself hundreds of thousands of fake likes

You have designers using high level languages like C#, Lua, or visual scripting. Then you hit performance bottlenecks and bring in the C++ people. If that's not enough, you bring in the C++ people with wizard beards that wear sweatpants and flip flops to the office. If that's not enough, you go deeper than C++, assembly or something else. Speaking of games, this thread doesn't talk about the one good thing Elon Musk has worked on enough, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs for the Sega CD.

For the advertisers and brands, its not just all of the hate speech that is gonna show up next to their ads, its that it'll be trivial to get verified, change your name to "NABISC0" and start tweeting out crazy poo poo. All with a little verification sticker saying you paid $8 to prove that you're, ummmm, somebody with a credit card

It always amuses me that there is a direct correlation between "jesus christ how do you live with yourself" and programming expertise. exception being like, Linus Torvalds looks alright? Gates was a dork but not shlubby. [but also more on the business side afaik]
