Programmers, which of these shortcuts do you use?
-
@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.

Stare nel presente: in questi giorni ho dimenticato quanto sia importante, forse perché il mio presente è stato un po' folkloristico (giusto per rimanere su un'espressione neutra).

@prex Potrebbero usare gli RSS invece...

after a good night's sleep and reflecting on what I've learned so far, I've decided to follow the classic computer science strat: when faced with a problem you don't know how to solve, simply do something else, and pretend that is what you meant to do all along.
not only are horizontal coordinates the choice reference frame for backyard astronomers, the "altitude h" angular measurement is probably closer to the solution I wanted than my earlier framing of the problem. narf

"Perché lo stupido in realtà non risponde a quello che tu dici, ma risponde in base ai discorsi che lui si fa dentro di sé, risponde a ciò che lui ha pensato che tu dirai, non a quello che hai effettivamente detto. Quindi lui avrà sempre una risposta. Generalmente fuori tema, ma la avrà. E la maggioranza del pubblico non capirà che è fuori tema."

@fanf I just put in an order for the 2025 Astronomical Almanac - what is this about an explanatory supplement?
