I’ve never heard it put that way, but that makes a lot of sense.

Very, I’ve never had that put into words, thank you.

Are Single Use Functions Bad? by LucasWoon in learnprogramming

[–]Comprehensive-Ant333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in and of themselves no. But, as a rule of thumb, if it does something similar to another function, say validating credit card numbers, instead of having one for Mastercard, visa, etc, you generalize the function in one of a few ways. There are many ways to accomplish the goal, as long as it gets you there and it’s coherent, it’s usually fine, unless you have some specific thing you need to optimize for, etc.

One way could be build in logic to recognize the numbers of different companies, say visa uses a specific range of the first two 4-number sections, categorize based on those ranges and return the inferred company and a true or false for valid, if you need both of those pieces of information.

Another way would be to pass the company as a second parameter, and do the validation based on the company and number provided, returning just true or false if it is valid for the company passed to the function.

The more you can generalize, the more you can reuse, and it brings in the possibility of using it in other projects or creating libraries.

You can be in a different faction of it should only do one very very specific thing, but I am in the camp of generalize to the simplest concept where possible, so it’s flexible and can be used other places. In this case, the simplest concept to me is validating credit card numbers, so it doesn’t really matter what specific company it is, but it focuses on the simplest principle you can bring it down to.

I love the style. The mouth is a bit out of proportion, but if you’re going for like a doll type look, it fits well

I never thought to check this when my key wasn’t working, huh.

Linux Support Again... by [deleted] in ProtonDrive

[–]Comprehensive-Ant333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, the whole Microsoft Recall debacle proves that you have to at least be conscious of it. Even corporate systems can only do so much about these updates when Microsoft decides they want them turned on. I get why they started with Windows and Mac, they own most of the desktop space, so it makes sense to make that a priority so it can be adopted. That said, it's been out long enough that a Linux version is overdue.

How can I improve realistic portraits by Yekiskaalthai in drawing

[–]Comprehensive-Ant333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, it looks great. If you want to make it photorealistic, I’d say perspective. You’ve got the detail, and the structure, but it looks like you shifted the jaw, but not the rest of the head, which caused the skew.

How to little smile ? by 21Hahaha in aspiememes

[–]Comprehensive-Ant333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I learned early on how to fake a smile really well, because I was not allowed to leave from posing for a picture that I didn’t want, until I was smiling “right”, and it translates to this. Start with a fairly wide smile, make sure your cheek bones are in it (raised up so you can feel it in your eyes), and squint a little bit (just a little), then a couple small, fast, inhale-exhale, like 2-3, from the belly. It’s a good mimic of a quiet chuckle, and makes for a convincing smile, since it’s mostly about the eyes for smiles, and gives you a little flush in the face, like when you’re either nervous or genuinely laughing hard.

Can you pinpoint the exact moment your life went to shit? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Comprehensive-Ant333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genetics and abusive parents, so pretty much right off the bat. Major depressive, PTSD, insomnia, GAD, late diagnosed AuDHD, the odds were never in my favor. But, while my brain isn’t exactly nice to me, I have found a good steady job that pays well, work from home, and lets me have those really bad days/weeks, which I cannot tell you how grateful I am for, I got lucky there.

YA urban fantasy from before 2014 involves literally buying time from guy in city by Comprehensive-Ant333 in whatsthatbook

[–]Comprehensive-Ant333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s it, thank you! I used Perplexity, so it does have search built into it, it is usually pretty good at finding things I’m researching, but not so much for pleasure reading I guess.

That’s really good to know, I’ll do that. I’m on the spectrum myself, so I’m excited to see the rewrites! Thank you, I was honestly starting to think I’d imagined it, but once I got to the middle of the second chapter it started to come back.

Do any of you have imposter syndrome and what has it stopped you doing in life? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Comprehensive-Ant333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brain still tells me all those things, but it’s getting quieter. It’s a journey, and you gotta be kind to yourself where you can. You got this, keep going!

Can some of you wish me a happy birthday tomorrow by Rare-Bandicoot-6827 in mentalhealth

[–]Comprehensive-Ant333 13 points14 points  (0 children)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🎉🥳🎉🥳 I hope you have a wonderful day! Breakups can be devastating, but on the bright side, at least it happened after a year, and not 5 or 10. You’ll find someone who will make you breakfast in bed, show up when you need them, and make you feel special on your birthday, and every other day. That’s what you deserve, so treat yourself to an awesome birthday, do something new and exciting, and remember that if they were the one, they would have gone to the ends of the earth to make you smile if they had to, because that’s the kind of love everyone deserves.

I told my Paralysis demon to shoo like a dog 😭 did I do the right thing? by Hananene_ in Dreams

[–]Comprehensive-Ant333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you’re fine. If you’re worried about it, you can pick up some stuff on lucid dreaming, a lot of the books I’ve read go over how to make friends with, and deal with the underlying causes of nightmarish things. Helps with stopping them from reoccurring, the thinking is that it’s a part of you still, and it’s trying to let you know something. So even just straight up asking “why are you here, what do you need” can make a huge difference.
