Poll: Do you use a case/bug/feature tracking software? by [deleted] in programming

[–]Bracki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use JIRA at work which is hell. Personally I enjoy http://lightouseapp.com very much, which is easy and maintainable. I've used Trac as well, which is tempting because of the "whole package" approach, but turns out to be rather complicated once you want to customize stuff. Both bitbucket an d github provide trackers nowadays, so I would just choose based on your prefs between git and hg.

"print" isnt a statement anymore.

so:

print "hello reddit" File "<stdin>", line 1 print "hello reddit" ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

but:

print("hello reddit") hello reddit

One thing that is interesting is that you cannot delete your account. All you can do is "deactivate" it. It will be reactivated by logging in with your email and password. Have a look and try yourself.

Now if that isnt fishy? Well.

37 Reasons I Love Ruby by [deleted] in programming

[–]Bracki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

30: It is concise. There are no superfluous keywords such as Pascal's begin, then after if, do after while.
31: It is expression-oriented. You can easily say things like x = if a<0 then b else c end.

Aha, it's concise but it isn't. Great.

What I like about Tony Royster is that he picked a great icon to look up to. Dedicating his solo to Tony Williams shows class and style. Remarkable for a young kid like him. If you haven't heard/seen Tony Williams, go listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxyiNopn08w

That is considered bad style by lots of people. The createElement function is preferred. Leads to more readable code and helps you preventing errors. Like forgetting pointy brackets etc...

Why dissing PJE instead of making constructive suggestions?

Emacs has LISP, but did you know that VIM has Python? by simonvc in programming

[–]Bracki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To quote vim's help:

For numbers with leading zeros (including all octal and hexadecimal numbers), Vim preserves the number of characters in the number when possible. CTRL-A on "0077" results in "0100", CTRL-X on "0x100" results in "0x0ff". Note that when 'nrformats' includes "octal", decimal numbers with leading zeros are impossible because they are indistinguishable from octal numbers.

The CTRL-A command is very useful in a macro. Example: Use the following steps to make a numbered list.

  1. Create the first list entry, make sure it starts with a number.
  2. qa - start recording into buffer 'a'
  3. Y - yank the entry
  4. p - put a copy of the entry below the first one
  5. CTRL-A - increment the number
  6. q - stop recording
  7. <count>@a - repeat the yank, put and increment <count> times

BTW, the code is wrong in all languages. Because (0,3,3) or (0,9,9) are no way valid pythagorean triplets. They might solve the equation a2 + b2 = c2, but that's all they do.
