Universities often teach students to write a lot of comments, because you are required to learn and demonstrate your ability to translate between code and natural language. But this is one of the things that are different in professional environments.

Every comment is a line to maintain in addition to the code it describes. And comments like this provide very little (if any) extra information that is not already available from reading the code. It is not uncommon for someone to alter the code that the comment is supposed to describe without changing the comment, resulting in comments that lie about what the code does, forcing you to read the code anyway.

It’s like if you were bilingual, you don’t write every sentence in both languages, because that is twice as much text to maintain (and read).

The exception of course, being if you are actually adding information that is not available in the code itself, such as why you did something a particular way.

Not at all. This just searches multiple search engines at once and presents you with the results from all of them on a single page.

Why do they always keep using GitHub for this stuff??

XMPP servers and clients have different standards. Some supports audio/video calls

And the same is true about Matrix lol

It’s worth noting that you can rewrite history after the fact with Git

/s ?

You’re overthinking it. Select a few of the popular ones and be done with it

I’m a programmer and it really is quite easy to implement lol

Make sure you understand volume block size before you start using it. It has a big impact on compression, performance and even disk utilization. In certain configurations you may be surprised to find out as much as 25% of your disk space (in addition to parity) is effectively gone and it is untrivial to change the block size after the fact.

What is UnifiedPush?

Debrid-link seeds torrents from private trackers

My goodness

Trilium for the same reasons, but the featureset of Trilium is more like Obsidian.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I am super happy with my Pixel 7 so far. Easily one of the best phones out there, especially considering the price.

Community checks out

It’s probably worth noting that this has a lot to do with VCs pumping in a seemingly unlimited amount of funding for services that aren’t profitable yet but has potential to be later. Hence why Twitter is still a thing despite running at a loss for almost its entire lifetime.

I’d love to use matrix more but unfortunately it’s really hard to convince other people to use it.

Nothing is stopping the user from accessing lemmy.world communities from the alternative instance they chose (unless it has defederated). It’s just that in this case lemmy.world did not want to be responsible for the user’s content.

Abusing admins is nothing new and with reddit you have absolutely 0 recourse besides making a new account at the mercy of the very same admins. On Lemmy at least you can select another instance and still access the same content.

This would be a concern if lemmy.world was the only instance, but this person can and should just find a different instance they agree more with

Don’t see how this is much different to today’s way of doing things where pretty much everyone is a freeloader to the centralized server. The major benefit is that it doesn’t have to be just one server anymore.
