False | neuk_mijn_oogkas | t2_2032avqr | The only convincing argument I ever heard for using spaces over tabs is that space can be used for post-code alignment which I personally don't like to do but basically it can be used like so:
fnc foo ( some arg prototype ) { /* here is a comment */
some_code(); /* that is aligned with this comment */
that * does_stuff(); /* on a different indentation level */
}
You can't do that with tabs.
If people say you need spaces for relative indentation they are wrong; the indentation itself can be with tabs but after the indentation level you need to use spaces like so:
\t(let ((foo bar)
\t (baz shizzle))
\t\t(some baz))

False | illegal_brain | t2_b3lhu | I guess they could do that. At my company my manager has never said no to a vacation request. I work on a semi small team of around 10 and we all know how to gauge vacation times. I used to get 2 weeks vacation time before they made the "unlimited" vacation rules. So I make sure to take at least 14 days a year, but usually it is more. Some people take one large vacation(3-4 weeks) a year and some like me do random 1-4 day vacations spread out.
My manager is not allowed to track vacation days taken per person. He can only approve or disapprove.
At my job we always have a lot of pressing work and deadlines. It's more about not taking vacations close to a project deadline or talking to your team members to see if they will need you during a certain time. It's all pretty relaxed here concerning time off, leaving early, or telecommuting. Everyone works hard on my team and my manager has more a role of representing us to the people higher up and fighting for our promotions. | null | 0 | 1544472267 | False | 0 | ebilly7 | t3_a4n8jv | null | null | t1_ebiclo6 | /r/programming/comments/a4n8jv/why_software_developers_are_paid_5x_more_in_the/ebilly7/ | 1547442158 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

A very thorough intro to logical programming, Prolog, and advanced Prolog programming techniques, in that order.

False | davidk01 | t2_1c5pc | Are you sincerely asking? If so then Prolog is probably the purest expression of the logic programming paradigm that also extends into the constraint programming regime with the likes of Picat. Picat is based on Prolog but also incorporates some imperative constructs and constraint solvers. The kind of constraint/specification based problem solving that Prolog encourages can be very useful in certain domains like planning and general resource optimization. I recently used such an approach with GLPK to optimize spot instance allocation across several AWS regions. I wouldn't have thought of the constraint based approach if I hadn't learned Prolog.
But the short answer is that it's another problem solving technique and you will be better able to utilize the constraint based approach by learning Prolog. | null | 0 | 1545733357 | 1545733559 | 0 | ecih9q6 | t3_a9da04 | null | null | t1_ecigqnt | /r/programming/comments/a9da04/learn_prolog_now/ecih9q6/ | 1548047750 | 14 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | puneapple | t2_hqu9z | Your tautological example is still valuable.
It causes a test failure if somebody inadvertently breaks the API later on.
It allows you to be fully, absolutely confident that the basic use case will work. In fact, I'd argue that if you didn't write tests for the most common use case, however obvious, then you suck at writing effective tests.
It can be used as an example in documentation. I love this, personally - actual tests that are marked to be included in the built documentation, guaranteeing that the examples are never mistaken or out of date. Personally, when I'm trying to understand some code, the first thing I want to see is usage examples where I know how they work - the expected output spelled out in absolute detail - and that they will work - because if it didn't work, it wouldn't have gotten into master/wherever.
It's important to balance time writing tests with time spent actually writing the software. For most software, the cost of a user occasionally hitting an edge-case bug is smaller than the cost of the developer-hours it takes to reduce the chance a user could hit an untested case to near zero.

False | wellmeaningtroll | t2_9526cir | Have you written parsers in Prolog? Despite all the nice things that Prolog gives you for free, at some point you do need to get your hands dirty and write a few "procedural" bits and pieces here and there. Or write a lot of annoying boiler-plate. Or get really fancy and start generating code at compile time (compile-time code generation is one way of implementing constraint solvers, btw). Either way, it is not magical.
The way that Prolog textbooks tend to deal with it is either a) they get real and show you how to do the hard bits, full of cuts, soft cuts, negation, and so on; or b) they pretend the hard bits are not there and let you hanging when you hit them on your own.

You might notice how no one bothered to comment on it; I would assume it did not fit their pre-existing idea of how people should be implementing a DFA in Prolog? Who knows.

False | 1951NYBerg | t2_2429i8i9 | > Argument from authority is not a logical way to debate.
The accusation of committing "argument from authority" is void,
since it was you who initially made the argument from authority "about being 20years in the industry".
As a response, all I did was point out that Jon has INFINITELY more authority that you do or ever will.
(without verifying your credentials, your authority = 0).
While arguments from authority are not necessary in a properly conducted debate,
they enable to filter bullshit quickly with high level of accuracy.
If Jon makes a bold statement, his authority grants that it is not quickly dismissed, but carefully examined with
all due diligence that it deserves.
His language and decisions within it are not hastely dismissed as if they were made by a RandomGuyX.
> If Jon is right, and Jai is massively adopted, kudos to him, and no problem for me to adopt that I was wrong.
First, nobody ever claimed that Jai will be "massively adopted".
Second, of course it is not a problem for you to admit that you are wrong.
Because being wrong has absolutely NO cost to you or your reputation in any way.
If you wrote and published article with your NAME and SURNAME stating "JAI has no reason to exist" you would be putting your name, reputation and credentials at risk.
And then being wrong would have actual COSTS.
Because if people saw that name on a CV they would put it in a garbage bin.
For Jon being wrong in case of JAI has costs of six figures minimum for each year of development.
His time alone is worth in hundreds of thousands of US dollars a year. Plus hiring Abner and others.
Saying that "JAI has no reason to exist whatsoever" is saying that he has no idea what he is doing.
If that's not an insult, i don't know what is.
Behind a veil of anonymity you can throw insults with absolutely no risk, cost or repercussions.
>There is nothing that cannot be achieved without reflection
This is an invalid reductionist argument.
Because it applies to any feature X to any programming language Y.
Any feature can be added to any programming language via code generation or macros.
Any language such as assembly or C. (FASM and MASM have very strong macro capabilities, way stronger than C preprocessor)
>Yes, reflection is never ever needed in GAMES. It might be needed for editors and stuff, but that is something easily done now via various other means.
This is another idiotic argument.
No language feature X is EVER needed in GAMES once they have shipped.
In fact, no programming languages are needed for GAMES at all(see: pong done by electric circuitry).
In final form, all you need is machinecode, hardware and data.
But in order to MAKE games you need editors "and stuff". And the better tools you have to make games,
the less time and resources it takes to make them (e.g. you can improve other things).
Reflection is absolutely used in games for serialization and scripting as a minimum.
Games (incl. Jon's) often have editors INTEGRATED within games so there are no strong seperation.
JAI is all about making game development faster and less pain in the ass. (and more enjoyable for Jon and everyone)
Nobody would use hacks, Qt moc, ugly templates and macros, or parse C++ for the hundrieth time and reinvent the wheel
if the language had the feature in the first place. So the feature is absolutely DESIRED, otherwise people wouldn't do all these things.
The fact the a deficiency can be worked around doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Stack exchange today - 1.3 billion page views/**month**, 9 web servers with average peak CPU 12%, 23 servers total [[1]](https://stackexchange.com/performance). In 2016, only one web server was strictly necessary, though performance was degraded [[2]](https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-architecture-2016-edition/).
Reddit in 2012 - 2.07 billion page views/**year**, 240 servers total (virtual, couldn't find more specific information) [[3]](https://redditblog.com/2012/01/25/january-2012-state-of-the-servers/).
This is a little disingenuous - the SE machines have very high specs, and I have no information about Reddit's infrastructure. The only thing I'm trying to illustrate is that the prevalent attitude about scalability (just add more machines!) is not remotely correct for 99.9% of sites.
Reddit is written in Python, SE is written in C#. I don't have personal experience working with either of those technologies, but I have worked with Ruby and Java, which are fairly analogous. Getting Rails sites below 100ms render is an exercise in frustration, while an extremely similar site in Spring took about 20ms before any performance tuning.
The web server is never a bottleneck - you just add more.

Making commit messages _machine-readable_, though? Running them through a _linter_? Not every problem needs a machine solution. Have you tried… 1) actually _talking_ to your team mates, 2) explaining why you think these are useful, 3) reminding people when they write poor messages a few times, 4) firing them if they keep it up?

Eeww... Why the hell did you need a new notation for *that*? And why'd you have to go and [abuse dy/dx from calculus like that](https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2012-07-17)? It doesn't resemble calculus in any way except it uses the *english* word "derivative", but it's used in a way that's got nothing to do with calculus!
It's a minor complaint, and I realize I'm saying this in the context of regular languages, which have their own crazy-but-insanely-useful new notation in the form of regular expressions. Still, I guess call it a pet peeve when people write special notation like this for something that could easily just be expressed as a function (`d(L)` seems fine here!), especially when the new notation doesn't actually buy them anything, *especially* especially when it's abusing notation that has a common-but-entirely-different meaning.

Yes, but that's not the point. The point is that programmers should produce software that runs reasonably well on older hardware so that people aren't pressured to replace hardware as often.
If we could get people to replace phones once in 3 years instead of 2 on average then that would be on average a 1/3 yearly reduction in phone waste. Pretty significant. It would be nice if developers made apps that can actually be used on the same hardware for several years rather then requiring 16GB RAM this year and 32GB RAM next year...
For example in my team we've recently brought in some 8-10 years old laptops to make sure our software still can be used on those. I know it's a bit tedious for programmers to support old hardware but it's the right thing to do.

False | davidtwilcox | t2_5zpmt | Health insurance costs aren't the big cut from the pay, it's the cost of health care. I'm in the US and my company pays for most of my health insurance costs. However, I still spend significantly more than that (4-5x) annually on actual health care and prescriptions. That eats some of the difference in pay.
The other part is having to effectively subsidize your own retirement through 401(k) and IRA contributions.

False | SanityInAnarchy | t2_5oygg | > If I'm not wrong, any regular expression must have a kleene star...
...I think this is vacuously true, if you're allowed to apply that kleene star to the empty string? Because I'm pretty sure that a language that includes only a single finite string is regular, right? It can still be pumped by setting p to be longer than the longest string the language actually contains.
So the intuition is that if you want your regular expression to define a language that supports arbitrarily-long strings, or contains an infinite number of strings, you need a kleene star applied to a nonempty substring. | null | 0 | 1545736265 | False | 0 | eciiywh | t3_a9d94p | null | null | t1_ecidm4s | /r/programming/comments/a9d94p/i_hate_the_pumping_lemma/eciiywh/ | 1548048537 | 17 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | zeroone | t2_3782z | I'm just a fan. The game is relatively short; so, I play through it entirely whenever I need a distraction. There is an old saying that goes, "You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to others." To see if I truly understood the game, instead of writing up yet another walk-through / tutorial, I decided to codify my understanding. CastlevaniaBot captures my style of play.

False | s0lly | t2_j2bhc | Hey dude, I had very limited coding experience until Feb, where I stumbled across two incredible resources on the internet that changed it for me.
I always considered that programming games must take ages and that it must be so difficult so I had no idea where to start. I then saw this tutorial which does a ray caster in like 20 lines of code and it blew my mind. His channel is full of these awesome tricks, check it out: https://youtu.be/xW8skO7MFYw
I’ve also been going through Chili’s tutorials - he fills his videos with jokes so it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, and parental guidance is advised lol, regardless he’s one of the best teachers I’ve come across, check his beginner / intermediate series out on YouTube if that interests you. I’ve been able to get to this position (from only relatively simple knowledge of programming) due to his C++ series, and I still have a ways to go. | null | 0 | 1545736771 | False | 0 | ecij9yw | t3_a961pk | null | null | t1_ecgxp8q | /r/programming/comments/a961pk/another_first_for_my_c_games_multithreading/ecij9yw/ | 1548048702 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | somersettler | t2_107toa | >I think your point 1 is circular; maybe you never look at commit messages because you've never worked on a project where those were actually useful. I don't think you can assume you'd never look at them on any project just because you don't look at them now.
Fair point, well made!
That's why i was keen to add that i dont think it is a bad thing, and if it works for others then great. I guess i was just kinda limbering up my ranting muscles with that first one
We actually have kinda similar policies about branch names and PRs including ticket numbers etc and i agree that a consistent standard like that can facilitate useful things. I just hate the idea of using commits for that personally, it kinda implies 1 commit per PR/ticket which i fiercely hate the idea of (points 4/5 and more personal taste kinda factors i wont bother getting into)
