People say “Comments should explain why, not what.” I feel like starting a flame war today so I’m going to argue that comments should explain ‘what’ too. Please don’t use this as justification to write bad code, okay? Okay. First of all, why shouldn’t comments explain ‘what’? If you need comments to explain what’s going on, it suggests your code is unclear. If I write //weight, radius, price w = 10, r = 9, p = 1 That’s not as clear as saying
Caro @jones che sei tanto bravo a fare queste cose, che ne diresti di inserire in #verbose — https://mastodon.help/verbose/ — la possibilità di aggiungere un "hard break" nel caso in cui si voglia splittare un toot in un posto specifico, per esempio prima della tagline di una barzelletta?
Sarebbe la ciliegina sulla torta!
@adbenitez @opensourceopenmind #DeltaChat is federated via email, so #metadata-wise it is #verbose, I think (as #matrix is also verbose, maybe even more).
That's one of the advantages of #signal, that it is quite quiet on #metadata.
I think you could also check #briar, #SimpleXChat, or when it is ready #reticulum-based #LXMF when you just want to have other options and don't care about communicating with a wide audience which is not coming from a hacker bubble.

“Utility-first detractors complain a lot about how verbose this is and, consequently, how ugly. And it is indeed. But you’d forgive it that if it actually solved a problem, which it doesn’t. It is unequivocally an inferior way of making things which are alike look alike, as you should.”
“It turns out, people in tech are particularly bad at distinguishing between #paradigm shifts and paradigm sharts.”
heyo! #introduction time. i tend to be #verbose, so i understand if my first #toot is seen as #tldr.
i have been a strict #vegan for 10 years. my #family is small. my only #son is an #electrical #engineer who is a #licensed #PE in 4 states. i live with 3 #dogs - an older #yorkie and 2 much younger #biewer terriers. i also keep an #aquatic #turtle and maintain a #worm #farm for him.
i'm twice #retired, first from the #military, and then from a #normal life. i'm an #intel #alumnus, having spent 12 years in #post-silicon #validation of #processors and #chipsets.
i'm quite new to the #fediverse. in #discord they call me #grey or #wolf.
in that #platform i'm either in several #Crypto servers, or in servers full of social/gaming #bots (the #OwO #bot is my #escape from the #ratrace).
my #interests are mostly #technology, #animals, and #music.
i built my first #x86 #computer in 1993. i've been #crypto #mining for 7 years. i build my own #rigs.
and now i've reached the limit.
