i and I are acceptable in small loops. But it depends a lot on the language used. If you’re in C or bash maybe it’s fine. But if you’re in a higher level language like C# you usually have built on functions for iterating over something.

For example you have a list of movies you want to get the rating from, instead of doing

for (i = 0; i < movies.length; i++)
    var movie = movies[i]
    ....

Its often more readable to do

movies.forEach { movie -> 
    var rating = movie.rating
    ....
}

Also if you work with tables it can be very helpful to name your iteration variables as row and column.

It’s all about making it readable, understandable, and correct. There’s no point having comments if you forget to update them when you change the code. And you better make sure the AI comments on the 2000 lines of three letter variables is correct!

Yeah that looks cool. I will give it a closer look tomorrow :)

Cool, I’ll check this out. Always a bit of a ball ache when I need to access the server while lying in and too lazy to get up. Using vim on a phone is always an adventure in patience.

Oh, that’s actually good to know. I guess it makes sense for when you don’t have a good connection as well.

Same. Self hosting it sounds nice, and I self host a handful of services, but I don’t want to be stuck without passwords in another country with a dead server at home because a power cut happened at some point.

The 500 number is the number of victims from returning soldiers as of October 2024, not the total number of incarcerated soldiers in service as your comment implies.

Except Pirate isn’t fraud as in stolen valor, in the case of him it was just the house of cards of over embellishments finally caught up with him.

David was in Microsoft early and for a long time. Thinking he’s lying about that part is a bit rich.

We had a great saying in a team I uses to be on: “Write good code and hope no one notices”

Compared to something multi threaded, yes. But there are obviously a number of bottlenecks that might diminish the gains of a multi threaded program.

Alright, fair enough, you did say BRICS and drmoose followed up with Russia, I’ll give you that.

But no one said BRICS equals russia. And NATO didn’t invade Iraq, they did provide support roles yes, but the invasion was US led. If I were to put words in your mouth I’d say you just accused BRICS of invading Ukraine.

Ah yes, russia with their great track record of peaceful geopolitics. I’m sure Ukraine, Georgia, Afghanistan, Finland, et al. are very grateful for the peace they’ve brought.

Oh I’ve actually heard of Pluto.tv and watched it somewhere.

I’m not trying to make a point, I’m just curious how many this impacts and so on. I imagine it will go down similar to Netflix account sharing crackdown; generally viewed unfavourably, but will convert enough users to pay for it to be worth it.

How is Plex used if you aren’t using it to stream your self hosted media? I remember seeing channels and such before. Is all the official stuff licensed content? I can’t imagine their offering is very competitive.

It isn’t an accident. Russia has been violating the airspace of several countries for decades, presumably to test their readiness response. It would be nice if they finally start getting some consequences for it.

How is rizz not new? I’ve never seen it until tiktok.

They are posted by their Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/banksy/

I don’t know if all their works are on there though

The idea is that “you can’t break the system” and you have snapshots you can roll back to in case you do. Which is all well and fine. I think there’s a whole lot of xkcd 2501 going on. As a baseline I don’t even think many people who play games are very comfortable poking in ini config files, and you want them to write configs for their entire system? Don’t forget you shouldn’t blindly copy scripts from the internet without understanding them first as well!

I thought people might have. I’m a little surprised that wasn’t one of the first technologies to go in.
