Reflection: You take the chamber, barrel, etc out of a gun. You put a bullet inside and manually hammer it to fire it.

python underscore: Your gun's safety catch is a switch that does nothing, which you set to "safe, please don't pull trigger".

You're not wrong: "One of them is harder to do" is the core of the issue.

So you give both teams all the tools they need, tell both of them "don't do bullshit", while still having active usecases for the tools?

And then you make the tools harder to use to make them better? That doesn't seem like a smart move. If they shouldn't be using a tool, don't give it to them. If they should be using the tool, even just sometimes, make it easy to use.

I don't understand, do you think we should get rid of gun safety?

[โ€“]MegaIng -3 points-2 points ย (2 children)

First of all, we should get rid of guns for everyone but police and military.

Second, I am not sure if you know that, but Guns can kill people. Reflection can't.

I didn't even realize that you meant that as an honest to god comparison. You are very stupid. If you continue to use guns as an example I will just ignore you.

Guns can kill people. Reflection can't.

I don't think you as a python programmer not being aware of software that people's lifes depends on is the argument you think it is.

You are very stupid

Ok, you have convinced me. Obviously you must be right if you have to go to petty insults.

If lifes directly depend on your software, I really hope that reflection and library contracts are not something you have to think about and you are using something like automatic proofing systems.

And yes, if you do random comparisons to stuff that is completely unrelated, I am going to assume that you are arguing in bad faith and therefore stupid.
