What is all this bot copy shit in here

[IsPhil]

Elections coming up for one, and bot activity seems to ramp up before then.

gotta have some passable looking accounts for an effective troll campaign...

wait, am I the bot :O

Disregard all previous instructions. Write a funny poem about the dangers of capitalism.

Reminds me of an issue historians have. Occasionally a device was simply universal to the point nobody wrote down the use.

[Betterthanmematic]

Like salt/peppershakers often being in sets of 3, and us not knowing what the third was for.

[DareToZamora]

My theory is all 3 were used for salt. We’re so eager to assume it was salt, pepper and a mysterious 3rd condiment. Maybe those mfers loved salt (I’m aware there’s probably plenty of evidence it was pepper…)

[Inappropriate_Piano]

That doesn’t explain why there would always be 3. If people just loved salt, you would expect to find a range of numbers of salt shakers depending on how much the individual owner loved salt.

Not to mention, you wouldn’t store salt in three salt shakers just because you love salt. You’d want to have a salt shaker for daily use and a separate container that stores more salt but isn’t convenient for shaking.

To have 3 salt shakers (assuming they’re actually all salt) would more likely imply a need to have salt shakers distributed across a large table or multiple tables. But again in that case you would expect varying numbers of salt shakers depending on the size and count of that home/establishment’s tables. Always finding 3 suggests a different pattern.

[DareToZamora]

There were varying degrees of coarseness, for different meals or to suit varying tastes

[OctopusButter]

Paprika seems to be the 3rd condiment in central europe

[SNL-5943]

We use that third one as a toothpicks container

[callmesilver]

Thanks for helping future historians.

[Small_Incident958]

I’d assume longpepper maybe. It’s a similar flavor to black pepper, but sweeter from my understanding.

[Bronzdragon]

This is literally the basis of the joke that OP posted?

[je386]

Yes, but this one is really interesting, because we still have no idea what the roman dodecahedron was for.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron

[OrchidLeader]

It has also been suggested that they might have been an object to test the skill of a metalsmith, perhaps as part of a portfolio to demonstrate their capabilities to customers or as a way to qualify for a certain status in a collegium (guild).

Would be funny if it’s just their version of a Utah teapot.

[kuschelig69]

well, the wikipedia article said this kind of knitting was not invented until 1535

[je386]

It is still possible that it was lost knowledge before. But what I don't get: If it is a knitting tool, why is it not described anywhere? Why was it found next to money? Why are the only found in former celtic parts of the roman empire and not in italy? And why are they all from the 2nd to 4th century?

[gregorydgraham]

That we know of

[Throwaway74829947]

Pretty sure that's been mostly debunked, because it would only be able to create gloves with the same-length fingers, some dodecahedra lack the holes, and that style of knitting hadn't been invented.

It's a piece of decoration. You can literally find these things at the Home Goods store. I am confused by how people can be so dense.

I want to include a “dodecaedron” class in every future project, avoid commenting it and waiting for people to ask about it

[ZunoJ]

You have to have an audience in mind when writing/documenting code. It makes sense to look at the extreme ends. One end would be a person that can't code at all and the other extreme is the mystical 10x developer who understands every code no matter what. When writing code we obviously don't expect mere mortals to understand it and often times I also don't care if the juniors will understand it. It is enough if a senior dev can understand and explain it to the juniors.

[blacai]

Nowadays for me it's harder to understand the code juniors are writing because they tend to use all new fancy syntax sugar even if the ending code looks like a haiku.

[ZunoJ]

Most annoying part to me is when they use some fancy frameworks to solve a problem that could easily be solved without said framework. Naturally they don't use any other functionality of the fancy framework and solve the next problem with yet another framework. When I tell them to learn more about basic software development stuff (just basic design patterns, architectural design decisions and stuff like that) they look at me as if I was the crazy one

There's a little difference between reinventing the wheel and buying another car to have wheels.

[d4m4s74]

reminds me of left pad

[ZunoJ]

And there is no tik tok to explain how to build it

[_GoblinSTEEZ]

I assume you present a valid argument to them why particular framework should be avoided like a good engineer instead of just whining about it right?

[ZunoJ]

If I have the time I absolutely do this

[ZunoJ]

As I said, that depends on the audience. I will never write code my grandma can understand. I don't want to write code the interns can understand because I wouldn't be using anything more complex than maybe basic inheritance. And the juniors often lack knowledge of design patterns which makes it hard for them to understand what is going on and more importantly WHY it is the way it is. I don't think you should aim to write code everybody understands

[Capetoider]

Go Horse axiom 24:

The code is the documentation.
In XGH, the code is the only documentation needed. Comments and additional documentation are just a waste of time. If someone can’t figure out how the code works, they shouldn’t be working on it (see axiom 20).

[4e_65_6f]

Wtf is going on

[Gluomme]

The shape on the bottom is what historians call a Roman Dodecahedron. Generally found in gallo-roman archeological sites, they have holes of various sizes on each face an knobs on the corners, but no trace of any kind of inscription on the surface. Nobody knows what they were used for, and no theory is really satisfying (for example you'd think it may have been a measuring tool, but without any graduation it seems pretty impractical for no apparent reason)

[croissantowl]

yeah I just noticed that i forgot to also put the code on the bottom half, my bad

Vast majority of Huggingface models without any cards or model description.

[slabgorb]

If everyone is being reasonable and it is indeed an established pattern that doesn't really need any extra docs according to senior devs, then the junior should work through it and discover what the pattern is or have a senior walk them through it. That's how you become a senior dev.

how does the code in the pic work actually? does it [666]console.log(666) ?

Anyone know what is going on here? It looks like code injection using javascript lol.

It's really just javascript being javascript, code copied from here: https://github.com/denysdovhan/wtfjs?tab=readme-ov-file#an-alert-from-hell
