If that happens occasionally it doesnt bother me, what really grinds my gears is “Added second space after colon for readability” 874749574839 times. Its clearly being done to make it appear like they have done something of value and hoping it will just get approved without thought.
doesn’t just farm “fake” contribs
Like comment edits that have nothing but formatting changes.
While Hugh Jackman gets some sloppy dome (with a gun pointed to his head).
Its because he’s the best there is folks.
Just got my daughter operation for Christmas, played with the cards the very first time out.
So we haven’t met, but ive definitely used the cards. Mousetrap I played with a lot, but I think only played by the full rules like maybe 10 times max.
“Adds a and b”?
Sure, not useful. Thats a what, not a why.
“Combined value needed for these outputs”
The “why”. Useful. Shows the purpose, and explains the context it may be used in.
Assuming the “why” is known is the mistake - and one I see from junior and mid level, I dont care what language it is, its the same. Using refactoring code as an example, without context - the why - can cause problems. What may be more efficient for one resulting value being presented can cause issues for others (let’s say precision as an example of why it could be a problem). Failing to include why something is being done is usually what introduces these problems, someone misses a different context than what they are looking at, and that belongs in a comment.
A comment on “why” isn’t just important - for any block of code - it is, IMO, a requirement. I have and will continue to respond with “add comments as to why and resubmit”.
That really depends.
Especially for a function that may see use in a variety of scenarios.
I’m going to be firmly against anyone suggesting against proper comments - which, I’m sorry, but you are by your own statement.
Code will change for many, many, many reasons beyond just refactoring.
Edit: and why it was refactored is important as well.
There are just so many reasons, and yes, I will continue to be against this newer trend of “dont comment, make codes your comments”.
All that is, is a great way to make your code harder to manage later. It doesnt take much effort to explain why you’re doing something.
Not updating comments with code is what I’m talking about - that’s not a comment problem, thats a programmer problem.
If they aren’t updating the “why”, that programmer is the problem, not comments.
I am going to disagree, comments should be an explanation.
The code is what’s being done, a comment should be why its being done.
“Some people do a bad job commenting and updating comments, so lets not do comments” is not an approach that works for me.
Most of my code is at the prototype level. I’m concepting something out, usually paired with hardware.
If someone can’t follow what I’m doing, its going to lead to problems. If a change happens to the hardware being controlled, code will not be good enough on its own.
Rather than being accepting of bad commenting practice, make comments (and updating them properly) part of good practice. In my experience, It saves time in the long run and leads to better code at the end.
As an extensive commenter, I completely agree.
I need to know wtf I was doing, making it convoluted to save a few lines is pointless.
For those curious the torrent is about 410gb, i’ve been seeding for about 6 months myself. Uploaded only a bit over a TB, so could use some more seeds for sure!
Edit: Typo. And currently 15 seeds, more would be welcome!
100% accurate.
I’d even say equivalent load - but again, I dont support the foundation, wouldn’t buy a 5 in the first place.
I’d still say you’re better off with a t/m/m even with a few watts of savings.
At least as far as my setup, yeah. Ive got 5th-10th gens, under high loads I’ll see a spike to 80+ watts, the highest is 170W but those have nvidia quadros in them.
Edit: For gpio now I’ll just use an esp32 or something instead.
My only pi usage these days is work stuff, and orangepi is supported there. In terms of arm, also Jetson, but that’s kind of outside the discussion here.
Only at idle.
At peak the sff PCs are going to be at least triple the ~30W of the pi 5.
Edit: You’ll get way more out of the sff though, which is what I was saying. Tiny/mini/micro is my entire self hosted environment (as well as lab and work setup for the most part).
They already had sources which pointed to nothing.
The claims are baseless. I welcome an actual source for their claim - the only response was “But they had an ad company!”.
Meaningless relative to claims.
Sure, but this is youshouldknow not ivegotaconspiracytheory.
Facts are important for a claim like they are making.
Hired a cop who used pi’s for surveillance tech, when people mentioned being uncomfortable, they were flippant, blocked people, etc. Gross behavior IMO.
Pricing has made a complete shift from consumer friendly cheap boards over to pricing that can be beat by x86 hardware (even full blown cheap laptops).
The foundation has changed, and I just dont support it. You can make your own call of course, this is just my decision.
Edit: I should note, I hold grudges. For a loooooong time. I still dont forgive Apple for lying about a battery issue in an iPod mini being a board issue, just to give you an idea for how long I can be an asshole about things I don’t like.
Well hilariously, its even worse/better. It was RSAs 128bit rc5, which would take waaaayyyyyy longer than an hour to crack. Like, supercomputers dedicated to the task for years sort of thing.
