I use rustdesk for remote desktop. Screen sharing is usually on zoom as it’s what my workplace uses.

Physical connectivity comes courtesy from an RJ45 socket, a pair of USB-A ports, a sole USB-C connector, a microSD slot, and an HDMI connection

wasn’t expecting that

Also, folding encourages 1000+ line files and several indentation levels, like in their example.

C was my first language some 18y ago, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone starting today. If anything, learning C is a great way to teach why, maybe, we shouldn’t be using it to build customer applications, web servers, and whatnot.

Keep your gold, I’ll stick to sane error messages, memory management, a packaging system, and a dozen other things that actually make working on multiple projects somewhat doable and not a constant fight against seg faults.

that’s one way to swing the pendulum all the way back to the 1970s

You probably don’t have to write to specific broswers. Just stick to the baseline and you’re golden. Optionally use a headless chrome for e2e testing to be sure.

I’ll admit that in 10 years using git, I don’t think I’ve ever used reflog once.

tldr

1. Keep Commits Small: Ensure commits are small and manageable to facilitate easy reverts and debugging.
2. Continuous Refactoring: Prioritize frequent, minor refactorings to simplify future changes.
3. Deploy Continuously: Regularly deploy code to ensure it works in production, as working software is progress.
4. Trust Frameworks: Avoid over-testing framework capabilities; focus on application-specific logic.
5. Create Independent Modules: Place functions in new modules if they don’t fit existing ones, preserving code organization.
6. Write Tests Early: Use tests to design APIs and guide development, but don’t be rigid about TDD.
7. Avoid Duplication: Prevent repeated code by abstracting similar implementations after copying once.
8. Embrace Change: Accept and adapt to evolving designs, understanding that change is intrinsic to software development.
9. Manage Technical Debt: Focus on minimizing immediate blockers and plan for potential future issues.
10. Prioritize Testability: Ensure that your code and design facilitate easy testing to maintain code quality and coverage.

Because you’re assuming foo won’t be renamed when it becomes a function. A function should start with a verb, say get_foo(), because just foo() tells me nothing about what the function does (or what to expect as output). If you make it a property, get_ is implicit.

So if the age is computed from the year of birth for example, it’s really e.g. thing.age or thing.get_age() - both of which are fine, but I’d pick the property version.

that we agree on: properties should be cheap to compute.

Making a simple ternary condition as a function instead of property is a wasted opportunity to make its usage cleaner.

Properties make semantic sense. Functions do something, while properties are something. IMO if you want to name something lazily evaluated using a noun, it should be a property.

The misleading behavior is about what you expect to execute in the source code you’re looking at vs what’s actually executed.

What you describe is a logic ambiguity that can happen in any program / language.

Totally agree. The hardcoded isAdult: true repeated in all #2 examples seems like a bug waiting to happen; that should be a property dynamically computed from the age during access time, not a static thing.

That’s part of the problem. Different number of whitespaces indicate different nesting levels and the YAML spec does not enforce them. These two horrible YAMLs are valid and are not equivalent:

a:
 b:
     - c
     -  d
      - e
f:
    "ghi"

a:
 b:
     - c
     - d
     -  e
f:
    "ghi"

You can’t say python’s whitespace usage is as bad as yaml’s. YAML mixes 2 and 4 spaces all the time. Python scripts don’t run if you write this kind of crap.

And whitespaces is really just the tip of the iceberg of YAML problems…

yes, from my other comment

the only mistake of Python when it comes to whitespaces was allowing hard tabs

but that’s easily fixed with an editor setting - on the other hand, unbalancing braces (and not realizing it) is too easy all the time.

YAML sucks because, among other things, indenting it is not obvious.

In contrast, the only mistake of Python when it comes to whitespaces was allowing hard tabs, which makes it too easy to mix them if your editor is not configured.

Improper indentation stands out more than missing or unbalanced braces and it’s really not an issue to delimit code blocks.

False dichotomy. Optional braces are bad practice because they mislead the programmer that is adding an additional clause to the block.

This misleading behavior wouldn’t happen in Python, as it would either be invalid syntax, or it would be part of the block.

Indentation problems are pretty obvious to the reader. Even more than missing or unbalanced braces.
