Some of us would argue 10 is the n+1 th number because zero comes first. Otherwise you’re just throwing a new digit into the mix when you get to 10.

theherk@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Over 3.1 million fake "stars" on GitHub projects used to boost rankings26·5 months agoBut you still need the user accounts. Which must be created and are verified by email. Then you have to generate tokens for them to call the api endpoint to add the star. I’m not saying it isn’t doable, but it would be non-negligible and GitHub is going to squash you back at some point creating all those accounts from one source.

theherk@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•In case you were having a good day so far4·5 months agoI was able to make no inferences about any of the statements or what they mean.
Do you really use it or are you just adding an alternative to the conversation? It is an interesting concept (commutation) but not likely to supplant git.
theherk@lemmy.worldto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Mozilla to expand focus on advertising - "We know that not everyone in our community will embrace our entrance into this market"577·8 months agoI feel like I’m reading a different article than everyone else. The comments made me think the article would be adding advertisements, but it seems to be trying to find a way forward to facilitate advertisements while maintaining privacy.
Without technical details I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. I know lemmy is largely “Mozilla bad”, but I’m just not sure the comments are in line with the proposal.
I didn’t say the source of failure. I said a source of ambiguity. And having also been in the industry for decades, I have encountered it many times, where a junior programmer or somebody new to a project read some documentation and assumed a behavior which in fact did not match the current implementation. So you may have been fortunate, but your experience is certainly not ubiquitous.
With respect to variable names, I’d suggest those too should absolutely be updated too if the name is given in a way that adds ambiguity.
I’m not saying comments are bad; rather that bad comments are bad, and sometimes worse than no comment.
And your colleagues are probably correct with respect to this sort of «what it does» commenting. That can be counterproductive because if the code changes and the comment isn’t updated accordingly, it can be ambiguous. Better have the code be the singular source of truth. However, «why it does it» comments are another story and usually accepted by most as helpful.

Got to have that high thread count, burst rate throughout. Does it have the cooled bobbin?
theherk@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management?1·9 months agoWell I don’t use obsidian as all. But as a matter of opening and linking notes, I use this tool because I like it, and it allows me to reference two separate vaults without issue.
I don’t either, but you don’t have to use that feature. I don’t. I just use with local db for that machine.
I use fish with atuin but without sync. It is nice because I can search commands for a given workspace. For example the commands within a given git repository.
There is no USB-B here and it is pretty hard to get the wrong direction anyway.
Six since it has A at both ends.
If a provided service is good and made accessible reasonably, I’ll use it and happily pay. As soon as it is intentionally obtuse or consumer hostile, say no more; I take to the seas.
But in all cases, I prefer FOSS first. It is generally better, more secure, has more vibrant communities, and represents a dying breed of freedom that we all need.
