    Which software design principles do you rely on most?

    Jump

  • Software design should minimize work and provide structure.

    In practice it’s harder to do the larger a project.

    Most strategies work well with a few dozen files, but not tens of thousands of files by hundreds of developers.

    Which is exactly what happens now in the average web page

  • How exactly does one get better at programming?

    Jump

  • After coding a lot, and talking to many people, I have decided that while most people can be trained to be decent programmers; the critical ingredient is both an interest and the ability to sit down and do it for long periods of time.

    As long as you have both you will find your path.

    For me I learned a lot by reading books, coding my own things, and reading other people’s code. Often on first read, I was intimidated. Sometime I had to take a while to figure out new things. More than once I had to stare at a few dozen lines of code all afternoon.

    It really helps to have a debugger to step through each line of code as it runs . This shows the values of variables at each step

    And that assumes the code runs at all. I learned to debug my own code, when it would not run, by making every conceivable error several times until I could read the output in my sleep and know how I messed up. That takes a while to make that many errors!

    But debugging is definitely very important

    Why in western democratic countries Zionism is not banned like Nazism?

  • all need to be burned out and replaced by people who can lead

    I suspect effective and able leaders are being selected against, in many parts of the planet, due to recent changes of economies and technology.

    But even in the older days they were very rare. Societies enable sociopaths regardless of government philosophy. They always have.

    I think the Palestinians are victims of an alignment of malice, indifference and arseholes. They cannot be rescued unless evacuated. And the West Bank will follow Gaza later.

    Anyone who is not a spineless worm is checked by the American military parked nearby. And contrary to the hopes of many, America will be there for all the steps, and will not just go away due to issues

    Jump

  • All the western countries done their own genocides within recent history, and have run out of victims. But the basic colonial mindset never went away.

    It must be like a breath of fresh air that, yet again, brave Europeans have a frontier to conquer and savages to tame.

    That, and most leaders are being actively blackmailed by the Israeli intelligence services; and also, a good chunk of their population thinks Israel is required for their Sky God to kill most of the people on earth and reap their souls in judgment day.

    Western democracies have done a lot of progress the last generations, but scratch at the surface and one will find a medieval mindset. Scratch at that and one finds a stone age mindset.

  • I’m like data structures, I think of myself as a plumber connecting pipes holding streams of data . Just my head hurts when I think about what some of those functions are doing. Algos hidden layers deep under my code… plotting, waiting to make me feel dumb

  • lol I was on my phone, and looked at it soon after. I am not quite sure if it was autocorrect or me. I have many feelings on the matter and it was my only middling grade in university

  • The Secret Service traced swatting threats against officials. They found 300 servers capable of crippling New York’s cell system

    Jump

  • I have read elsewhere that this is likely an older service, used for a long time, which was used in domestic crime. It was tracked down by the secret service because it was providing help in forgery of fake currency.

    It makes sense why the secret service, which deals in counterfeiting, was involved.

    But it was spun by the White House for other reasons

  • How to enjoy editing with #WebStorm again

  • That is good to remove. Here is my phpstorm settings where I disable the irritation but still have it run in the background to keep some editor bugs from happening.

    I keep on the full line completion suggestions, but I disable the automatic completion on typing.
