It’s not about feeling better. It’s about getting the other person to understand that Google exists and that they can use it, too. Too many people refuse to put in any effort of their own and go ask someone instead.
IMHO in that situation answering isn’t even the right thing to do, since it encourages that behaviour and prevents the asker from learning to find out stuff for themselves. Something about fishing for hungry people or so…
When someone is genuinely stuck, doing research themselves allows the answerer not to go down the same dead ends, which saves time for both.
You cannot even mark it as duplicate without providing a link to the answer. What are you talking about?
Peple misunderstand “Closed as duplicate” as an insult, when it’s just the hint to look at the provided link. If you didn’t find the answer previously, this just means there are multiple ways to express the problem, which use different words and thus don’t all find the same google result.
Sure you can write foo = 3
in JavaScript. It’s a global variable and can be referenced as either foo
or window.foo
.
The fines are only proportional for big corporations. Organizations without revenue can still be fined:
Infringements of the following provisions shall, in accordance with paragraph 2, be subject to administrative fines up to 20 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher: (a) the basic principles for processing, […] pursuant to Articles […] 7 […];

In this case, the processing of data hinges upon the data subject’s consent, which is detailed in article 7.
Also, this is not an issue for the developers, but for the admins.
Imagine a car manufacturer building cars without brakes and then saying ‘This isn’t a problem for the engineers, but for the retailers’. Of course the developers can’t be sued for this. But that’s not the point! The point is that this bug or missing feature or whatever you want to call it jeopardizes the admins upon which this whole ecosystem hinges. I can’t believe that that’s in the devs’ best interests.
To be fair, this is a bug that could be the end of lemmy. As soon as one malicious actor sues even a few instance admins, other will get scared and shut down their instances. As the reporter points out, this isn’t just a shiny feature that’s missing. Instance admins lack the ability to follow data protection requirements that their users have a right to. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I agree commenting that post under every issue was a dick move.
I found it interesting how the maintainers reacted to these issues.
Would you mind if we set some of your priorities also? You’re asking us to do free labor for you, that you’re unwilling to do yourself. Do not put ultimatums and demands on people making FOSS, or I won’t hesitate to block you from these repos.

Has git never told you that you should use git push -u origin <branch>
when you push a new branch for the first time?
But when you do need the comments, you usually really need those comments.
It’s nice to see you sharing my experience. My code is either uncommented or very severely commented with comment-to-code ratios of 10:1 or more. I hate the files that are soo green… :(
If it’s not in the git log, it’s not a comment.”
This is so incredibly dumb, though I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this. That comment will be buried in the git log if anyone ever fixes a typo on that line.
Personal repositories aren’t production code. They’re learning opportunities. You tried adding 100 engines to a plane and learned that that was a bad idea. Who cares if there’s no cockpit if you were test-driving the wings?
I am a sky-high developer and know little of such low-level APIs. Please humor my ignorance: Isn’t it bad practice to write a god-method that sometimes uses these parameters, sometimes others? Isn’t this better refactored into multiple dedicated functions?
Nah, I think they’ve won the French version of The Bachelor 2 years in a row and are about to win the third.
Thanks, I corrected it.
There are even more optimization possibilities, but I wanted to stay as close to the original as possible.
It only supports ints and bools, some logic and simple arithmetics and it compiles to Java but damn was it hard to get that far.
I have a bachelor’s in computer science and I don’t think I would be able to do that…
class Scratch {
// Start of file
public static void main(args: string[]) {
int number1 = 2;
number 1 = 10;
int number2 = 13;
boolean fo_sure = true;
if (fo_sure) {
number1 = number1 + 5 - 10 * 2 / 3;
}
System.out.println(number1);
boolean canYouSeeMee = false;
System.out.println(canYouSeeMe);
if (false) {
canYouSeeMe = false;
} else {
canYouSeeMe = true;
}
System.out.println(canYouSeeMe);
}
}
What’d I win?
I find it interesting and unnerving that I understood the code, but not the youthspeak.
Or – just a thought – you’re reasonably confident that the shit you wrote actually works.
