Comments are super useful but soooo overused

I think overusing comments is a non-issue. I’d rather have over-commented code that doesn’t need it, over undocumented code without comments that needs them. If this over-commenting causes some comments to be out of date, those instances should hopefully be obvious from the code itself or the other comments and easily fixed.

I think the joke is that there’s indeed unequivocally just three, and that one of them still says four despite that fact, contradicting the readers expectations who normally for this format expects the middle thing to be something that changes with perspective (eg. 6 vs 9)

Thanks! Yeah, typescript was just an example that I gave because it was made to tackle the perceived problems in javascript. I never used it myself and just mentioned it to explain the idea I was getting at.

Btw, what is a non-local RSS reader? I have come across multiple that RSS readers that advertise being “self-hosted” and I’m confused about that since in my mind RSS readers are simply clients that periodically query different servers for an .rss file, so I’m confused about where there is anything to host besides the host of the .rss feed.

I recognize you and your profile picture from some quite popular Luanti mods. :D I have a question regarding making content for Luanti:

I’ve been interested in maybe some day making a game for Luanti, but I don’t really like Lua (I for example imagine that undefined variables evaluating to nil rather than directly throwing an error, identifiers by default being public, and absence of static checking of possibility of null dereference before runtime to be things that can cause quite some annoying bugs). Is there some popular X to Lua transpiler that you’ve heard people using? Something like what Typescript is to JS or Kotlin/Clojure/Scala to Java (not exactly the same thing since they all compile directly to jvm bytecode rather than java, but you get the point).

I hope I’m not insulting you by asking such a question.

Yeah I also never reached the end, though I imagine if playing multiplayer, with enough players and time, that then at some point there won’t be any untouched land.

Potentially?

I like my toots.

I thought public Invidious instances stopped working?

Maybe I’m mixing it up with some other captcha service (hCaptcha?).

I tried the audio once. I could hear less than half of the needed numbers. I don’t know how blind people are supposed to pass google captchas if the audio challenge is so garbled.

and copious amounts of fake and real blood

Where did they use the real blood? I thought theaters avoid it because it’s really hard to clean and it coagulates after being exposed to air for a while. (though fake blood is also really expensive from what I’ve heard)

Not just a nazi, but the Führer (ie. leader) to imply her to be an authoritarian figure.

Who is “they”? Also, most of the world doesn’t have DST and they seem to be doing okay.

Here you see the chinese meddling in other countries’ politics. The canadians are so brainwashed by the chinese that in canadian elections they vote for the Communist Party of China!

I didn’t know who she was, so I just assumed it was true and that she was just another celebrity sponsored by a VPN company.

I’m using both.

I installed NoScript just a few days ago, because I’m forced to use a really weak computer that struggles to even browse the modern web. I feel like NoScript improved it a lot, and while quite a few websites broke (including lemmy) (but most will still display the content), I just set the ones that I need working to trusted, but the performance is still good (I should note I’m also using it in conjunction with an automatic tab discarter).

I however also don’t directly use Google. Both SearX and Yandex don’t need javascript, so I’m unaffected by these news, despite being a bit mad about it as a reflection of the direction the web is going as a whole.

The hover-over text says “Disclaimer: I have not actually tried the beta yet. I hear it’s quite pleasant and hardly Hitler-y at all.”
