Piracy is not stealing. Piracy affects artists.

These two statements can and do coexist.

It’s all good, I was just making a joke.

But thanks for fixing!! :)

The irony of not linking to old Reddit…

This is the real answer. Stop using Google search.

I could would suggest you take a voyage around the App Store for Lemmy apps. I won’t name any. But there are many good ones.

Simple answer, unit tests.

The answer, as with everything in software development, is that it depends.

A god method with 100 optional params that is usually bad practice. But a common pattern is to allow for an options object to be passed, and that object may contain 0-n supported parameters. This pattern is used everywhere, see graphql as a widely used library that is based on this.

subs will get about three to four hours of thousands of updoots and comments and then get nuked by the mods

This was a tactic made common by Gallowboob. He would do this on every major sub he moderated, but with even more nastiness.

He’s post, wait to see if it got enough upvotes, if it did not he’d delete and repost. Constantly. Until his posts got to the top.

He did this across many of the largest subredddits and turned it into a paid job where he’d advertise for others using this same patterns.

Even worse, he’d delete others posts if they were doing too well too quickly and repost as his own.

Dude is one of the pillars of what destroyed Reddit.

Same.

While I wasn’t some power user, I did have many comments with 1k or more votes.

Reddits decision to first destroy the UX of Reddit and then destroy the best Reddit apps made my decision to delete everything very easy.

Simple in practice but obviously harder to grow a community… but the answer is to post like a normal person. Stagger posts a few hours apart at a minimum.

While browsing all, seeing the effects of #2 is a signal to block the community. When I see 10 posts from the same community in a row on all, it gets blocked.

Exact same thing happened to me. Group project needed a programmer, I was a gamer with a nice computer so I volunteered. 15 years later and I’m a software engineer at a huge company.

Ahh. Yes, yes it is. I blame lack of coffee :)

Thank you. Nice work!

This is really nice! It needs a way to view r/all though.

Thank you!

Yea. I see a clickbait thumbnail like this and just scroll on.

Right here, brother.

I use the right tool for the job, always. If all I need is to push a branch, then I’d rather use a UI that quickly shows me the changes in a nice diff layout. If I’m doing a pull request review and want to run it locally, I select the branch, pull, and go.

That said, when there are conflicts or tricky merges, or I want to squash a bunch of commits, anything like that, I’ll use the CLI.

It’s not about being above GitHub desktop or being an enlightened CLI user. It is about using the tool that is needed.

I’ve only been writing and releasing software for 15 years, what do I know.

That said, use whatever workflow fits you best! If that’s your hands never leaving the keyboard, rock on! If you instead write code like you’re playing an FPS, enjoy! We all do this because we like it, right? 😊

GitHub desktop Stan here. Been a software engineer for over a decade and still love my UI tools. GitHub desktop is good enough 99% of the time.

1. too early optimization
2. optimization once performance bottlenecks are found
3. TBD
4. TBD

All jokes aside, I like the way this article breaks down types of optimizations. Especially the forth, as that tends to be the answer on occasion.

I hope they both block Google and start charging for accounts. Watching Reddit kill themselves will be so cathartic.

My schadenfreude can only get so much stronger.

Is anyone surprised? I’d bet they are using ai powered bots to increase engagement and repost content.

Sacrifice it all for that incompetently inept incoming IPO.
