it's really fucking with me that neither axis follows a progressive ordering so I'm going to post a fixed (debugged) version. EDIT: lmao this is the most fucked up, inconsistent alignment chart I've seen. here it is fixed:

everything -> sometimes -> nothing

know -> not sure -> don't know

haha nice work, that is an improvement :)

There might be a bug in the labeling code here

[-] gregor@gregtech.eu 13 points 1 week ago

You doubled the "everything works, and I don't know why"

I, in fact, don't

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 week ago

one's not sure why and the other is don't know

[-] Imnebuddy@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The center one is the same as the top right. I think the center is supposed to say "nothing works, I'm not sure why" to match the pattern with the rest.

oh haha oops

Where does "it used to work, but now it doesn't, and I don't understand how it could ever have worked" fit in?

haha can't believe I forgot that gem

I helped a friend debug a script last week that was working inconsistently in really weird ways. I looked at the script and it was all event hooks littered with sleep calls. I told him he was basically fuzz testing his own script and then getting surprised when he found race conditions. Shit was wild. Also, sometimes getters in Python are a mistake.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

I find setters/getters are generally an antipattern because they obfuscate behavior. When you access a field you know what it looks like, but if you pass it through some implicit transformation in a getter then you have to know what that was.

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah. I can understand the use case when it’s something relating to keeping simple state in sync by replacing it with derived state. But this particular case was flushing a cache after each get, which made each get of the property non-deterministic based on the class’s state.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

lol yeah that sounds like a nightmare

[-] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Aren’t setters and getters discouraged in Python?

I remember reading something like, “This isn’t C++ , and Python doesn’t have private vars. Just set the var directly.”

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

In the way that’s common in languages like Java where you’re making a property read-only, yes. But there’s a whole protocol in Python called descriptors where you can override the . on a field. The most common form of these is class methods annotated with the @property annotation, which makes it so the method can be accessed as if it were a property.

the "sometimes works, don't know why" is the most maddening, I love tearing my hair out just trying to get it to fail reliabily so I've got a single hint

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

Any problem that's not repeatable is incredibly frustrating, and you're rarely sure if you've truly fixed it in the end.

Brain clot inducing labeling job here

[-] headerfile@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

i have so may questions; why are the top right and dead center duplicates? why do they have different images? why are the phrases inconsistent? why are the images and phrases distributed at random? how did you miss this?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

the best thing about memes is that anybody can take it and remix it to make it better :)

One thing, I don't know why
