I think it was always shit, you and your taste buds just grew up.
At the time I ate lots of fast-food I also liked to drink lots of soda and ice tea, like 2 liters in one sitting when hung over. Now I puke a little in my mouth just thinking of that garbage.
What about loans against assets like houses? I wouldn’t consider simple house owners necessarily rich and they should be able to get a mortgage without penalty.
Software patents usually are shitty like that. And weirdly “state or the art” doesn’t seem to apply to them. Their only purpose is trolling your competition and the consumer is left with fewer and poorer choices and higher prices due to royalty costs.
One of the most infamous examples is Microsoft filing a patent for the mouse double click in 2002, getting it granted in 2004 while the thing was actually developed before the 80s (and not by Microsoft, of course).
I question the usefulness for society of patents in general but software patents especially should be abolished.
You’re the one reducing human beings to their diseases. That’s beyond just being a dick. It’s dehumanizing. But apparently that’s a-okay on this supposed leftist platform.
a bunch of strangers that are essentially walking disease vectors
What came first? Anxiety or this totally healthy attitude?
Is it? I wouldn’t know, never checked it out. Then I gave the wrong example. I’m still reading quite regularly that some platforms have general profanity filters - maybe even Reddit nowadays?
That’s what I don’t get about what they said above. If the Windows desktop freezes up, Task Manager won’t open either (happened to me quite some times over the years - less so since they moved to the NT kernel though). What you mentioned always works short of kernel panic.
Probably due to cross-posting to censoring shit-platforms like TikTok.
Not necessarily even that. Piracy can benefit the developer by increasing popularity. Piracy made Bill Gates a billionaire despite his fighting tooth and nails against it.
Oh no, like 80% of the internet and embedded/mobile devices are criminal!
If you go back to my example, you’ll notice there is a
UserUniqueValidator, which is meant to check for existence of a user.
Oops, right, I just glanced over the code and obviously missed the text and code had different class names. Another smell in my opinion, choosing class names that only differ in the middle. Easily missed and confusion caused.
I don’t think our opinions are too far off though. You’re just scaling the validation logic to realistic levels and I warn that in practice coders extrapolate too quickly and too often, which results in too much generic code which is naturally harder to understand and maintain than specific code.
I would argue that the validate routines be their own classes; ie
UserInputValidator,UserPasswordValidator, etc.
I wouldn’t. Not from this example anyway. YAGNI is an important paradigm and introducing plenty of classes upfront to implement trivial checks is overengineering typical for Java and the reason I don’t like it.
Edit: Your naming convention isn’t the best either. I’d expect UserInputValidator to validate user input, maybe sanitize it for a database query, but not necessarily an existence check as in the example.
Missing isn’t really the issue but the splash is pretty unavoidable when you piss from height.
After 10 years of marriage you haven’t been comfortable to pee with the other still in the bathroom?
Millennials grew up alongside modern computing (meaning the two matured together). We dealt with everything from BASIC on a C64 to DOS and then through Windows 3 through current. We also grew up alongside Linux
Only the oldest millenials did. When the youngest were born, the internet and Windows 95 were readily available and they were in middle school when the iPhone came out.
Use Noscript. It’s quite surprising how many articles can actually be read without allowing any Javascript and cookie forms won’t show up (it often is annoying though, so I cannot seriously recommend this).
Right from the start there have been adults only guilds in WoW though.
