Universities often teach students to write a lot of comments, because you are required to learn and demonstrate your ability to translate between code and natural language. But this is one of the things that are different in professional environments.

Every comment is a line to maintain in addition to the code it describes. And comments like this provide very little (if any) extra information that is not already available from reading the code. It is not uncommon for someone to alter the code that the comment is supposed to describe without changing the comment, resulting in comments that lie about what the code does, forcing you to read the code anyway.

It's like if you were bilingual, you don't write every sentence in both languages, because that is twice as much text to maintain (and read).

The exception of course, being if you are actually adding information that is not available in the code itself, such as why you did something a particular way.

Not at all. This just searches multiple search engines at once and presents you with the results from all of them on a single page.

Why do they always keep using GitHub for this stuff??

For me it is the note taking/PKMS tool SilverBullet.

It's not just "assumed". There have been numerous studies that people with better social networks and resources around them are much more likely to succeed. It's not surprising at all

Don't see what is annoying about this dialog.

The thing about public domain is that anyone can do whatever they want. Youtube is still providing a service by providing storage, cpu and network to be able to stream the video and they are within their rights to charge for that service one way or another. Of course anyone can also offer that same service for free as it's public domain.

My goodness

Might not be the best place to say this, but considering Plex relies on online authentication servers to function it might be better for you to look into Jellyfin which works fully offline.

There should be a vote to contest button next to the duplicate question notice/link.

In my experience, I have found the least intelligent people to also be the most vocal, which makes it look like they are overrepresented in the population.

With Lemmy 0.19 there are new scaled and controversial sort options, but I don't see them in the app. Is there an update coming soon to support these?

edit: it seems like it gets selected when it's the default sort option for the logged in user. There's just no way to select it in the UI.

Just wondering if anyone else has learned the Thumb-key keyboard well and could share their typing speed?

I have been using the TypeSplit layout for a few weeks now and get over 50-55 wpm with it consistently. I'm still learning it though so I'm expecting to see over 60 wpm soon.

Found this very interesting article about how Android's Doze Mode really works and how you can tweak the settings. For example how you can make doze mode ignore the motion sensor.

Has anyone been able to test this yet? What was your experience like?

I was able to test it on my 7900XT, but I'm not sure if it was working right. It was definitely enabled as the frame counter in Adrenalin showed double FPS. But that was only until I moved the camera and the FPS would return to non-framegen baseline until I stopped moving it again which kind of defeats the purpose.

Just wondering if someone would like to share their experience so far with the new Android 14 update for Pixel 7?

How has the battery life and performance been so far and have you noticed any bugs?

You should always bind it directly in qb to prevent it from accidentally leaking

It's the currently trending topic for pretty much everyone here. It will die down by itself eventually as it becomes old news.
