It makes sense why you are feeling that reaction to the reactions to your comments and how that relates to people's mixed reactions to the author's gamedev advice... what I can't understand is the phrase "rejecting criticality, as it relates to intention."
Really? I find that it makes it so much more pleasant and easy to read. I read it much faster than I would have without bold. The author is telling you which parts of the sentence are most important, so your brain frees up that processing part where you have to figure that out.
The vast majority of my development time for any project is setting up a server, database, web framework, etc. It's a massive pain in the ass and gets in the way of what I'm actually trying to do.
I don't think you should write code where it makes a difference if the None came from a T that happened to be None or from a None.
How is it natural to write code like that?
If it's None, don't put it in the cache. If T is None, don't put it in the cache.
if (typeof input != None) putInCache(input)
Comments, updating dependencies, or documentation
Because nothing really ever happens because of random chance. Everything has a reason, and to pretend it happened because of random chance is to say you don't care enough what the reason was to try to figure it out.
Fair enough, but for most people, health of themselves is way more important than the health of the planet.

Doesn't that undercut yours?
Unfortunately, the term mutual aid has been co-opted by democrats to mean "charity". Likely because there is a stigma in our society around accepting help...
All you need is a chess board
"Forever" means "never leaves your body", not "doesn't get transformed into a different chemical"
I don't think this is true
I have to agree. It suggested 13 exercises for me, most of which I've never heard of and have no desire to learn.
I'll stick with squat/deadlift/weighted pullups every day - no need to complicate shit.
Yep, I've seen situations where the programmer goes for brevity, and then runs into problems in the future when they want to "be consistent"
take_ownership -> acquire (fine at first)
give_ownership -> unacquire (not even a word)
split_ownership -> halfacquire (complete nonsense)
then there needs to be a way to split ownership other than an equal 2-way split and you're fucked.
I haven't seen this exact situation, but I've seen stuff like this. And sometimes, I was the programmer.
Names should be as short as possible while still being meaningful AND keeping in mind future work requirements.
On a tangent, I'm always frustrated when as a developer, I don't learn much about the actual business. There's always a situation down the road where if you had known what the company was planning on doing in the next quarter, or couple years, you could have saved everyone some work by doing things differently.
I'd like to work for a team where if you have ab aesthetic suggestion like this, you're only allowed to leave a comment if you also submit a commit.
So the "actioning" part becomes their work.
And a tool to resist inflation and protect assets against theft, bank closures or government raids in countries where people are just barely surviving. You have a pretty Anglocentric viewpoint.
No, but it's 2/3. Then you divide by 2 because the area of the triangle is half the area of the rectangle.
How do you know that it's not the other way around - they started using hallucinogens because their schizophrenia started and the confusion around a drastic change in mental state caused drug seeking behavior?
Well, that's an interesting idea. 20x a common dose of acetaminophen, an extremely pervasive, legal, over the counter painkiller, can kill you. Less can kill a child. Lots of drugs contain it, such as over the counter cough medicine.
People legitimately die or become seriously ill every year because they don't know this.
Granted, 5x is a lot different than 20x especially when a drug is taken for recreation rather than necessity. I've never done 25i-NBOMe, but it's my understanding that it's easy to overdose because a method of administration is blotter paper and people think they're taking LSD.
In our current world, when you get prescription drugs for the first time, you are provided with information about risks. Over the counter medicine, you aren't.
In my ideal world, if you wanted to do a recreational drug and it had risks like this, you'd have to complete a drug education course and obtain a prescription, you'd be provided with phone numbers for services like overdosing or mental health, specific to the drugs you're planning on doing, and dosage would be easy because medical professionals are doing it in a lab before they sell it to you.
The average Joe would much rather do drugs that they know are manufactured correctly, not adulterated or cut with other substances, where the dose is measured accurately, and where if something goes wrong they have a professional to help them, even if it means they have to pay a bit more than the black market - which will surely still exist.
And if someone goes through the black market and does because they did a drug that is now legal, and they didn't know the correct dose? Sad, but that's on them
I just delete pretty much everything every couple years, with the exception of photos, which don't need to be organized as they're already sorted by date and geotagged and can be searched with computer vision nowadays...
No point in hanging on to anything you don't use at least once a year.
I doubt it. The data they collect alone is worth more than the storage and server costs.
So if I can't read, but I watch YouTube videos, am I agreeing to a contract?
Contracts are only valid if signed.
Even if the all other car insurance cost 10x as much I would not buy from Liberty Mutual, FUCK them
I'd rather take is a step further:
"Foo Corp. makes Gizblams." Whether or not they're high speed depends on the other Gizblam manufacturers, whether or not it can help me or my family depends on if I like it or not.
In many social circles, it already is.
Should be pretty easy, since you can check the generated password against all the criteria. Making it fast might be difficult though
Because it'll still be a good question
