Dude, enough. I'm guessing that everyone in this sub has some idea of what good code is and why it's worth writing. I'm betting there are still indie devs putting out decent games with shitty glue code as their code base, despite your dogma and despite your need to explain something patently obvious (what "good code" is) to anyone that's ever read someone else's code.

It's just some made-up syntax; the idea is that the program "must" check to make sure that the "x" value actually has a value before using it. so this is wrong: maybe x = sin (theta) t= t+x It's wrong because 'x' is being used (to increment t) without it being checked to make sure it's got a real value. The compiler will complain A standard-issue programmer who is starting by making the "happy path" of their program work will add in a little bit of code to make the compiler not complain: maybe x = sin (theta) if (x.HasValue) t= t+x Now the code is making sure that x has a value before it's being used. But not that we're not really dealing with x not existing. Maybe when sin(theta) doesn't exist we need to shut off an automatic control and notify a plant engineer; maybe we should reset 't'; maybe we should do a hundred different things. But because the compiler thinks that everything is OK, nothing bad happens. IMHO, the "real" problem is that programmers are often in one of two modes: the "happy path" mode where they want to see stuff working correctly when everything goes well. The "error path" is actually handling out-of-range conditions. It's awkward to code the error path when the happy path doesn't even work; you're not likely to be solving real problems. And for prototype code, the "error path" might not ever be completed!

My experience from many many years in the business: most programmers code the "happy path" first, and back-fill the errors second. Whacking in the if (x.HasValue) … will just become second nature for most programmers. And IMHO, if we're not solving a problem for most programmers, we're not solving anything of real value.

> Normal people are psychopaths without power. We were apes before...do you not know what that means? The number of good people (actually good, not harmless--which is not good but naive) is getting so low, you can see the bottom of the barrel from here. Inside every pessimist is an extremely disappointed optimist. You thinking humans could ever be better than our biological programming at any point is what's made you this misanthropic. You're stuck on a rock with other monkeys in a cosmos vaster than you could comprehend, in a time period of utter insignificance and size. You might as well come to terms with it, and enjoy what parts of it you can. There are likely much worse fates than the society we're currently in. Many humans born before you fought this instinct to hate humanity and decided to make it a bit better and you were born enjoying some of the luxuries they created, so you might as well pay it forward to the next generation in whatever ways you can, even if our species will still fall miserably short of the likely better future you've imagined.

Maybe I didn't spend as many hours as are necessary to master the JEtcModel... model of programming, but it doesn't play that nice with Java's capabilities as an statically typed OO language. The mixing of GUI toolkit-related classes and your program's state would have run afoul of the rather naive interpretation of MVC that many learned, including myself at first, but it makes sense in many ways, won't begrudge that. But it's probably mostly that the `Object[][]` thing is still a bit horrid in general, though I guess that a model based on named columns may not be general enough... it's what most people would have needed in the end, anyway. My main complaint about Swing is this, really, providing the flexibility but not the convenience. On the parent-child thing, I actually meant the layouts. I really nerdraged at the `BoxLayout` being the odd duck that receives the parent component. It forces a particular way of instantiating the components, which is annoying when prototyping. Not the end of the world, but still. Still, usable. Not a pleasant ride, but usable, and more performant than Electron. Edit: great comment tho, upvoted.

> Inside every pessimist is an extremely disappointed optimist. That is the truth. Inside every optimist is an extremely pessimistic person... If the glass is 'half full' to you, it is because you expected it to be empty... Humans obviously can be better than their biological programming, we beat out our chimp cousins, and it won't be long before there is another split. When I clamor on and on about the end of mankind, I do not include myself nor people like me in that equation. Furthermore, this is a time of utter significance. From here we can see the end of mankind's civilization. A planet, teeming with life, so much so that it developed self-aware life...and that life was snuffed out because mankind has no stomach for justice nor mercy... However, I will be 'paying it forward'...knowledge of the future will grant my lineage longevity that you cannot comprehend. All alive today are the result of 3.5 billion years of successful living...the result of good choices for 3.5 billion years...and all I see are people screwing it up every day. I will not miss Earth.

> Perhaps the right way to begin is just to focus on #1: write tests to catch bugs. Make developers responsible for proving correctness of their work. Don’t count a feature as “done” until the bugs are gone. Build from there. “The bugs are gone”. That’s… adorably naïve. Since the author is wondering if there is a stage 5: yes. It’s when you realize that as helpful as TDD may be, it’s not going to make your code bug-free.

Hmm, I wonder if that behavior has changed? I haven't experimented with acls and SELinux for many years, and perhaps they've finally beaten things into better shape? They really weren't working well, once upon a time. ACLs were particularly messy, as I recall. But Linux has this habit of steadily improving in areas where you're not looking at the moment, and I haven't looked into any of this in a great long while.

I agree, on higher level languages it's not bad (although in a very low level language you would be wasting a memory index) but it breaks a convention for no good reason. Interestingly, I had a Java programming teacher that would always start arrays at 1. And he would always prefer to use >= in favor of >. He said that he could spare the 0 index memory in favor of having less out of bounds exceptions. Later I've learned that there are some C memory management libs that kind of use this idea so the man wasn't that wrong.

I know these things were really not working well, once upon a time, but between your comment and /u/bloody-albatross's, I'm thinking that they may have improved a lot when I wasn't looking. I should probably dig back into them to see what's changed. It might have been a decade since I last seriously looked at Linux ACLs. They were pretty horrid at the time, so I marked them in my head that way and forgot about them. Perhaps they're all grown up, now.

Aside from the fact that what you are saying is nonsense, how do you account for the horrors in Nanking? The Soviet gulags? In Liberia? Why is it that every time there is a disaster or something that causes law to break down, people start stealing, murdering and raping each other? Read about Reserve Police Battalion 101...and understand that it is real. Put yourself there, feel it...then understand, you contain the same monster in you.

Hooray now the book is done we get more blog articles from Fabien. I always find the little idiosyncrasies in code for effects like this fascinating. A long time ago I remade the DOOM melt effect in JS ([https://pizza.alligatr.co.uk/doom.html](http://pizza.alligatr.co.uk/doom.html)) by directly copying the C code and changing what I needed to draw it on a canvas. If you've played a lot of DOOM it's immediately recognisable as the DOOM melt, despite being a simple looking effect.

Those three are some high powered language and formal verification people. Should be promising work out of them. I had the dubious pleasure of working through a pre-print copy of CPDT. When Chlipala admitted he didn't really understand red-black trees despite stepping through an implementation with the red-black invariants encoded in the types, I knew that I was out of my league... And maybe mildly annoyed :)

Yeah and the module is like 893 MB or something) That said, the existance of cross-platform engines these days is a fantastic upside, and I'd say is worth it.

Except they are referring to Linux applications running slower in WSL compared to Linux directly. Mostly because WSL goes via the Windows kernel, rather than a Linux distro using the Linux kernel, and Windows has a terrible model for handling files at every layer which results in death by 1000 papercuts for performance. So they are comparing how Windows handles files vs Linux.

This is neat! I had [a similar idea](https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/a0mll2/backdoor_found_in_eventstream_library/ealu0ty) some time ago but had a different approach in mind, with top-level app code using a special `requireSafely` that runs each external module in an isolated vm supplied with a proxied `require`. Your approach looks much better!

I never went to university and started working in software development at 17-18, so I sit pretty with a unobtainable amount of experience compared to university graduates my age, I don't know what to tell people I know with doctorates earning half what I do. Experience is really all that matters.

Personally I prefer that the first element of an array is at index 0. It makes sense if an array is a contiguous piece of memory that indexing it is just a matter of adding the offset of its beginning to the index. 0 also has some nice properties when iterating, slicing etc. I can't think of any real benefit of 1-based indexing except that it's used everywhere outside programming and the appeal that might have to beginning programmers, but that one thing is not a small benefit.

I've handled text files north of 300MB without problems in Sublime, on both Windows and Linux. Notepad++ in no way is unique in this regard. Find will fuck you over in Sublime though, since it tries to find a match every time you type in a character. They should probably consider having two different find behaviors and a threshold to switch between those.

These monads can get so deeply nested, isn't this difficult to maintain? To evaluate a single complex monad, a developer will have to unwind the whole thing, including all the nested expressions and datatypes to figure out what's going on. Also, it's great that an integer function evaluates to 'Nothing', but now the calling function has to add handling for 'Nothing' as well. Aren't you just kicking the can down the road where it's another function's problem?

Going through the series right now and I agree the series is pretty good but it can be pretty dense at times. I also recommend interested folks grab a copy of "Type Theory and Formal Proof". It's the most accessible introduction I've found so far on the actual theory underlying type theories and was instrumental with helping me get over the theoretical hurdles.

The Object[][] thing is due to legacy; Swing's API was defined back in ver 1.1 and 1.2, well before generics was a feature (somewhere around 1.5 I think). I will admit it's a bit of a wart, but it's not all that bad in practice when you add everything up and look at the API as a whole. The model is very much a design based on object orientation. It's "the procedural way" to manually stuff values in a cell. It's object oriented to define a very simple TableModel which sits between the table and your internal data structures and provides 4 or 5 methods which translates the data for your table. You don't store data in a table and internally in your lists/structures, waisting ram and synching changes. That's the beauty of it. It's just a simple few lines of code and the table just pulls data out of your model as needed. Once you've used it a few times, it "just clicks" and then suddenly you don't want to go back to iterating a loop and stuffing data in a table and updating it manually and tracking changes and storing the same data multiple ways etc. Ever used something like KnockoutJS for html/dom? Same sort of idea; the model is king, and you don't worry about manually doing things and updating gui components and tracking state/changes. You just tell it how to get the data out and it does the rest whenever it needs to. Funnily enough I don't believe I've every used BoxLayout; got me there. I pretty much use BorderLayout and GridBagLayout exclusively, with maybe one or two others in weird situations. But again, a good Gui Designer like JFormDesigner makes working with LayoutManager's a breeze; all that boiler plate code is just generated and synced in your code automatically.

I vaguely remember finding an error in the documentation somewhere but can't remember what it was, so this comment is essentially pointless I suppose. But I ended up making it able to load the scrolling Nintendo logo and the title screen of Tetris and some other games. Now I just want to go back and redo everything.

This is a bad interpretation of statistics. If you've worked in tech for any period of time, you know that a significant subset of developers started coasting as soon as they hit senior or lead. To be a viable Dev, you have to keep pace with emerging technologies. You can't pitch the same ideas you learned 10 years ago and hope to remain viable, but that's what many 40+ devs bank on. Then when their employer inevitably cuts them off when the stagnation his the bottom line, they crow about their 'experience'. It's insincere, and the victims of such attrition are just as liable as the factory worker that didn't see the automation coming. The other side of this is that an older engineer who has diligently continued his studies will always be in demand. There is simply no way that a 20-something JavaScripter is going to have the same output as a 20 year ninja who has been refining his art the entire time.

Man that is a real struggle though. Being in software test and needing to on board people with basic coding skills. It's C# so the specific topics are different but how up-to-date to stay and what features to select are unfortunately a point that comes up.

I like that there are people out there holding software engineering to a higher standard because to be honest I'm tired of all the accidental cruft accumulated in the software stack that was created by the "worse is better" hackers. I'm not knocking all the work those hackers did but I also wonder what things would be like if formal development processes had been instilled in the programming culture earlier. Would we be running around and trying to update SSH and Linux in the middle of the night in that alternate universe or would we be soundly and completely (pun intended) asleep because software "just worked"™️.

When did I say anything about Java being slow? The mention of Java was that old web apps written in now obsolete frameworks can be maintained for more than a decade, which is good if you hate learning. You can do that with other languages in theory, but they tend not to have been around as long and as stable as Java.

They're not "work-arounds" for anything. "Monad" is the name of a conceptual interface, and anything that has the required properties is a monad by definition. It so happens that stateful functions, lists, exceptions, null forwarding, async computations, the interpreter pattern, and dependency injection, among other things, all have a monad structure. This is true whether a given programming language can express that fact or not; whether something is a monad is a mathematical fact. That's why anyone other than Haskell programmers cares.

This seems to be off the mark considering it only reflects the State monad which is often not a thing in impure functional languages. There are plenty of other monads (e.g. Option, Result, List, Async, Backtracking) that have nothing to do with holding global state or encapsulating side effects, but they all share the same properties of having `return` and `bind` / `map` + `join` work in predictable ways.

> But if I instantiate my template twice, my code size doubles, erasing any of the potential gains I had gotten by performing the check at compile time. That depends on the compiler and your settings. Nothing is stopping the compiler from *not* generating multiple instantiations in the binary if you specify that you want to compile for space, or if it determines it is better to do it that way. It can generate an indirect or a branched version instead. You're making an assumption that "template == multiple versions in the end binary", whereas there's no such guarantee. > I don't care how great (and slow) the compiler is, if I have to ship six different std::vector constructors in my application The constructor of `std::vector` is generally going to have the same signature regardless of the type. I've validated this in GCC and MSVC - the address of the constructor, regardless of the type, was the same (presuming you allowed the compiler to fold constructor addresses), as were the addresses of many of the member functions. ICF is a thing, and for the vast majority of templates, much of the code isn't going to change from one implementation to another, or only very small parts (enabling most of the code to be shared and the differing parts to be thunked).

> See? It is the availability of the bodies and the "nearly finite" set of possible callees that allows for inlining. The fact that you're reiterating what I had written above here (in a really weird way) suggests to me that you hadn't actually read what I'd written. This was the entire point I was making. As I said, I cannot tell if you are being *intentionally* difficult about this or not, because you seem to be very stubbornly fixated on specific meanings/usages of terms, regardless of what I've said or used to the contrary, so you're arguing in circles.

If you want to set the entry bar on hiring, you can, or leave it as open as possible!

At least among my coworkers, that is not true. `map` and `flatMap` make it easy to focus on the happy path first, and the return type is still wrapped so it is obvious it still needs to be handled. We generally don't use side-effects or partial functions (though none of our code is Haskell-style pure). New people seem to get the hang of it pretty quickly.

> Nope, although I did read a headline about some Euro country forming one for Software Devs recently... Which country? And if the country's government formed it, is it supposed to be available to all devs in the country? That would automatically make it a big union. > Not sure this belongs here? Small things become big things. Today's big companies were once small ones, and the same is true of unions. It's important to set norms up front, as otherwise entire professions can wind up dominated by a handful of unions and their internal standards. The process you nod towards (negotiating each contract bespoke - size begets clout begets more favorable terms) is how you get a small number of large unions. This is how a friend of mine, a surveyor by trade, has his raises dictated according to the number of hours he spends in a classroom or on a job site. You're absolutely right, of course. Unions *can be* small personal entities representing the collective interests of the workers of a small shop! But it's perhaps worth considering that most workers, or even most unionized workers, are not likely to be members of such small unions. Can you help me understand how my life is going to be better with a lot of uncertainty around the problems unions can, and in other industries have, introduced in comparison to the problems my industry faces today? Right now it sounds like you want to add a stack of new risks to the risks I already have, and that's maybe not the best pitch I've heard this week.
