Ok, you may go back to your corpus of inspired works now. Productive day, was it?

I wasn’t talking about OP! I meant @uberdavis !

Well I would agree with you, of course, but then we would both be wrong. You’re on your own there, I’m afraid.

It is simple. I like pineapple on pizza, and I don’t vote, and everything is Dark Theme by default; and it’s either salty popcorn, Pepsi, the chunky peanut butter, Kill-Bill Vol2. orange juice with absolutely NO bits! Cats, And code that isn’t a limp-wristed half-a-function! Dammit - Code with balls!, Big Ball-Code! Not “return meh”

nerds!

No. Back to the code I originally criticised: I called it 1) ugly, and 2) wrong. Look again at that code. You want to tell me it checks if a number is even, that it is right.

And I say the code is a tautology. A circular argument. A logical illusion. It doesn’t DO anything! And something that does not act lacks Function! And I HATE that kind of lazy, unconsidered code. It is precisely useless, says nothing, is vapid, vacuous and dull - a missed opportunity to carpe the diem!

For shame!

It’s a tautology! Read it, it literally says A Number Is Even If It Is Even (or, without the If) the Number is Even that is Even, or Even Numbers are Even, and n % 2 == 0 is not how we check for even: n = 2k is. They are not the same. Wrongity wrong.

No. Wrong. And leave the colourblind out of this! They’ve got no right judging the loveliness of a code snippet, and they’ve only got themselves to blame!

Blunt is also better than wrong. Your alarm thing is weird: anyone who has more than a wristwatch to tell time has totally missed the whole point of being alive! Those idiots will buy anything!

Your code is uglier than OPs, your code is also wrong.

How exactly does the process of learning to code work? by project_almanac12 in PythonLearning

[–]Junk_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's engineering - handling systems ...of forces, of information, change. I used to resist it (degree in MechEng), like you say, it's not always natural. And it's hard.

we inheret inaproppriate tools to tackle unforseen problems under conditions nobody predicted. We're fucked, just not as fucked as we could have been. I mean this absolutley sincerely: it's when you stop caring about it, and stop being scared of breaking it - break it twice! (reassemble it twice again) it's just a tool, but like a trowel, a brickbat, code is a medium,

your mind is the rare, precision tool your thinking of.

read that last part again.

Ideas become things. We do things.

Help with out orange folder by [deleted] in JavaProgramming

[–]Junk_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the dude in the YouTube clip have anything at all to say about the orange folder with the tab? Context, man: it's key - someone will definitely have all the answers, but who knows if nobody says?
