Yeah...this one is sadly on brand

[-] undefinedValue@programming.dev 48 points 2 months ago

Sadly? Master branch never implied the existence of a slave branch. It was one of the dumbest pieces of woke incursion into tech.

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

It was kind of pointless, but at least it made software work with custom default branches.

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Yes exactly. It’s a reference to the recording industry’s practice of calling the final version of an album the “master” which gets sent for duplication.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago

In alignment with this, we should not replace the master branch with the main branch, we should replace it with the gold branch.

Every time a PR gets approval and it’s time to merge, I could declare that the code has “gone gold” and I am not doing that right now!

[-] ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Merged -> gone gold

Deployed -> gone platinum

Gone a week without crashing production -> triple platinum

For this political correctness you get trunk.

Push directly to master, not main
No command line args, just change the global const and recompile
No env vars either
Port numbers only go up to 5280, the number of feet in a mile
All auth is just a password; tokens are minority developers, not auth, and usernames are identity politics
No hashes – it's the gateway drug to fentanyl
No imports. INTERNAL DEVELOPERS FIRST
Exceptions are now illegal and therefore won't occur, so no need to check for them
SOAP/XML APIs only
No support for external machines. If it's good enough for my machine, it's good enough for yours.

Ah, I see you've met C++ developers.

[-] excral@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

Nah, don't use global variables, magic values everywhere. And don't use const whatsoever, we need to move fast and break things, we can't let something immutable stop us

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago

Lua had been banned from the chat

[-] pelya@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

In Lua all arrays are just dictionaries with integer keys, a[0] will work just fine. It's just that all built-in functions will expect arrays that start with index 1.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

Your argument isn't making me any happier - it just fills me with more rage.

[-] my_hat_stinks@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago

That's slightly misleading, I think. There are no arrays in Lua, every Lua data structure is a table (sometimes pretending to be something else) and you can have anything as a key as long as it's not nil. There's also no integers, Lua only has a single number type which is floating point. This is perfectly valid:

local tbl = {}
local f = function() error(":(") end

tbl[tbl] = tbl
tbl[f] = tbl
tbl["tbl"] = tbl

print(tbl)
-- table: 0x557a907f0f40
print(tbl[tbl], tbl[f], tbl["tbl"])
-- table: 0x557a907f0f40	table: 0x557a907f0f40	table: 0x557a907f0f40

for key,value in pairs(tbl) do
  print(key, "=", value)
end
-- tbl	=	table: 0x557a907f0f40
-- function: 0x557a907edff0	=	table: 0x557a907f0f40
-- table: 0x557a907f0f40	=	table: 0x557a907f0f40

print(type(1), type(-0.5), type(math.pi), type(math.maxinteger))
-- number	number	number	number

Error handling should only be with "if"

Variable names must be generic and similar to each-other

Debugging is only done with prints

Version numbers must be incoherent, hard to order correctly, contain letters and jump in ways that don't align with the updates done.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Single letters or UTF8 symbols only. Emojis are encouraged.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 2 months ago

Variable names should be var{n} where n = 0, 1, 2...

NGL, this kind of form of putting the decisions the monkey-in-charge is making in a way experts in a field will understand, is a very good way to showcase the absurdity.

Haven't heard of the stack address thing, anyone got a TLDR on the topic?

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/386194/why-do-we-still-grow-the-stack-backwards

TL;DR: For historical reasons stacks growing down is defined in hardware on some CPUs (notably x86). On other CPUs like some ARM chips for example you (or more likely your compiler's developer) can technically choose which direction stacks go but not conforming to the historical standard is the choice of a madman.

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure that it’s something a long the lines of “stack begins high, grows down, while heap behind low grows high” when they meet, it’s a stack overflow
