I think, they have a point about the spec being both enormous and underspecified, and that there should be other ways to have and query relational data.

But yeah, it looks like some of the points are a bit blown out of proportion. I especially liked those monstrosities of queries that are examples of how the same thing computes different results (but it shouldn’t be allowed, really)

I’m more interested in how do you navigate system menus and such, or does DE manage this? I’ve tried one Linux distro recently without a mouse attached and it was painful because some elements of the system UI are not accessible in any way

I mean the time when games from 90’s were just games, because it was 90’s

What I meant to say is that they can easily use both a phone and a PC, and still think it’s arcane and cryptic. Even if they needed to tinker with it, e.g. a lot of DOS games required me to set IRQ, and I still don’t know precisely what it is

I’m afraid this required much more tinkering back in the day, and will be way less educational now. Maybe building and running a PC from 2005 or earlier will require the same level of getting to know things, but otherwise it will not teach to not treat computer as arcane and enigmatic, imo

Nah, he should’ve just outlaw being unhappy, so that everyone would be happy

‘Clean Code’ by Uncle Bob is a good place to start when answering these questions.

And here I was, almost agreeing. Clean code is defining quality through aesthetics, and that book is a very bad advice of how to define anything

Tortoise might be fine too

Besides, they say ‘read really old texts’ as if this is easily achieved right now, which it is not

I think, e is silent in baked and not in naked. But that’s kind of like Sean Bean

Yeah, there are maybe a couple of reasonable ideas like using background and making comments stand out more, but that’s it. Especially weird is the idea about light theme not being used because of syntax highlight

Same as many long debunked concepts, sometimes even declared wrong by their own original author, it will continue to have followers and will never completely fade away. For this reason I don’t think that talking about it sometimes is a wrong thing

“Why” comments are of course included in “we don’t need that” category

I think my manager is strongly Clean Code inclined. More than once they removed comments, because they will become outdated anyway (so there’s no use explaining what is going on at all, right? Right‽)

There’s no definition in dictionary, but here’s what Wikipedia cites for what to call a yacht: https://www.boats.com/on-the-water/when-is-a-boat-also-a-yacht/

This is arbitrary, and just an illustration of how anyone would call what they want a yacht. 24 meters is nowhere required, and this discussion repeats again and again

I would advise going in the opposite direction, learning a purely functional language first to then being able to appreciate functional parts

That is beside the point of an opinionated list of the good and the bad, that will differ for others

I went from Debian to Mint

His skin colour is maybe mentioned, because being white rich male is peak privileged, although also being a governor somewhere or having a seat in government would be even better

Sorry for the off-topic, but what’s with those weird typos? Are you also trying to ‘poison’ AI that will be trained on the comments?
