Programmers, which of these shortcuts do you use?
-
@evan no need for me to copy and paste, as Emacs abbreviation mode does a smart version much quicker 😜
@joncruz I'm not sure what you mean.

@evan it's why I dont bother setting up "smart completion" for most languages. I hit the magic key combo and Emacs searches through all my open buffers to see "ok, last time you had typed this sequence of characters, you then followed it with this result". And another combo will cycle through other options starting with most recent. Kinda works like magical "I know what you need" copy-n-paste.

@joncruz like CoPilot!

@evan don’t so much copy and paste previously written code but rather reuse modular abstractions with a defined, tried, real-world tested functionality and interface e.g. since 2011 I’ve used the same/similar runtime logger abstraction wrapper for contextual application runtime debug/trace/info/warn/error/fatal messages.

For the first option, what about D.R.Y. ?
-
@Mrpotatoqc9 what about the Rule of Three?

@dahukanna Do you use a packaged module or library, or is it just the same source code that you copy over?
-
Hey, all. I do all 4. Thanks for the responses!

@evan
The example I gave is code I reuse by copying and pasting. I’d only go through packaging + distribution + versioning “tax” if I was sharing for other team/people to reuse. -

Also, to everyone who got tricked into saying they use LLMs: GOTCHA! You fell for my AI trap. Bonk! Go directly to LLM jail.

@evan unironically I knew this was some sorta honeypot, and I’m all for it

@GroupNebula563 it wasn't, but I did realise after that it probably felt high-risk for people on the Fediverse.

E quella ricorrente malinconia e mancanza che mi ero ripromessa di non provare più...
Fallendo miseramente. Come sempre.

@Alberto mi spiace, devi sentire la guardia medica?

@nemobis Oh wow. Ci provo con il vecchio profilo. Grazie mille per il link. Questa cosa se funziona risolverebbe il problema alla radice. Provo a fare richiesta agli Dei di Wikipedia. Porterò sull'altare un'immagine di un capretto sacrificale coperta da licenza Creative Commons.
(still siamo nel 2025 e cambiare il nome utente dovrebbe essere più semplice)

@emanuelecariati Un https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_rename_policy non dovrebbe essere così difficile, anche se non risolve tutti i problemi.

@simonett_a buona notte Simonetta 🤗✨

@nemobis Boh guarda. Vedremo. Ho creato questo profilo perchè in quello vecchio nel mio nome utente era contenuto il mio nome-cognome-data di nascita reali (errore fatto parecchi anni fa). Ho deciso quindi di crearne uno nuovo con il mio nome d'arte. Ho cercato di eliminare quello vecchio ma a quanto pare è impossibile. Così come modificare il nome utente. Se non mi sbloccano sarò costretto a creare un nuovo profilo

@Otttoz A uno sull'autobus gli è partita una canzone di Cremonini proprio mentre facevo questa foto orrenda.
