Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Not really sure whether S-expressions or Python indentation-based scoping get more hate...
6·2 years agoThis leads to weird bugs when you change indentation and miss a line or reorder lines. The logic changes. Not too bad when you’re on your own, as Python seems to be intended for. Add multiple developers and git merges and it is a recipe for disaster. With end tags at least you just end up with poorly formatted working code.
I’d love to see some stats on how many people use please and thank you in prompts.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?
6·2 years agoIf it were codified like this as law everywhere, people would accept it better. The rule breaking is what pisses a lot of people off. It would be much more predictable and safer too.

4·2 years agoOur road system, retirement benefits, health system (except USA), public school system, national parks are all socialist.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an aspect of your job that college didn't prepare you for?
471·2 years agoHow long it lasts. Year after year after year. No end in sight. No summer, winter or spring breaks. One vacation a year and a few sick days.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What happens if a user of an unfederated instance posts in a federated instance to me?English
3·3 years agoIf a reply to you is non federated, then you get a notification you can neither clear nor read. That little ‘1’ will be there forever.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Any chance to have a separated [PORN] tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts?English
343·3 years agoIt would be easier to allow you to fully block the 2 instances it comes from.

An environmental impact study on this would be interesting.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is an absurdity that has been normalized by society?
6·3 years agoIf you fine people based on their bank balance, you end up fining careful savers, not rich people with shell companies.
The best way to achieve the same goal for the more major fines is with custodial sentences. E.G. 2 weeks for drinking and driving.
And for the more minor traffic stuff with points and bans. If every one has the same number of points and gets the same ban, it is fairer
It would be nice if you could block a community directly from the front page without having to navigate to it first. Whole instances would also be useful.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?English
1·3 years agoThanks! I have a dynatrap, I’m going to try this mod!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?English
6·3 years agoI have tried these. They are expensive to run as you need to burn through a tank of propane each month. They do catch some mosquitoes, but they make little overall difference.
Still looking for a working solution.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that people think is dangerous but in reality is completely harmless?English
8·3 years agoNot disagreeing. We need more nuclear. Just saying people are scared of a major event than the constant low grade radiation.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that people think is dangerous but in reality is completely harmless?English
11·3 years agoWhile true when everything works, people don’t want to live near a nuclear power plant because sometimes there are accidents. They are rare, but severe when they happen. Also because nobody wants to live in sight of one, it affects how easy it is to sell land and property.
That problem happened because there was no way to travel from town to town quickly so if the clocks were off nobody cared. The trains changed that.
