  • Well it’s in the name, they are code smells, not hard rules.

    Regarding the specific example you cited, I think that with practice it becomes gradually more natural to write reusable functions and methods on the first iteration, removing the need for later DRY-related refactorings.

    PS : I love how your quote for the Rule of Three is getting syntax highlighted xD (You can use markdown quotes by starting quoted lines with > )





  • That’s not what I said. I said that comments can often (but not always) be replaced with good and explicit names.

    This can be pushed to some extreme by making functions that only get called at a single place in the code, just for the sake of being able to give a name to the code that’s inside (instead of inlining it and adding a comment that conveys the same informations as the function’s signature)

    It’s definetly not for everyone, but for beginners/juniors it gives something objective they can aim for when trying to build good coding habits





  • They are both serialization formats that are supposed to be able to represent the same thing. Converting between these 2 formats is used in the article as a way to highlight yaml’s parsing quirks (since JSON only has a single way to represent the false boolean value, it makes it clear that the no value in yaml is interpreted as a boolean false and not as the "no" string)

    Anyway, I disagree with your point about YAML and JSON not being interchangeable






  • From a quick search on my instance, I could find 3 posts that are still up, and I could also find specific comments I remembered from a post that got removed since.

    That’s at least 4 occurrences on Lemmy alone

    I did not criticize people sharing it here, but rather Ente themselves for making vague fear-mongering claims for viral marketing purposes

    What’s up with this website popping in my feed for the 6th time in less than a week ?

    Edit : nevermind, after digging the website for a grand total of 5 seconds, it appears to be an advertising website for Ente (which has a paid plan besides being self hostable). That’s shitty marketing from them if you ask me
