It's a fallacy when there is no cause and effect for each step. This, however states the steps.

AFAICT, actually manipulating the AST, which then in turn allows you to implement your own language features, inserting additional debugging info, memoizing a function by just wrap…

A bit off-topic: I occasionally see that triple ^H on HN posts: what does that actually indicate?

I appear to have misread some things. I'll have to re-research the stuff.

AFAICT, municipalities get paid to put up the cameras, which isn't federal, so flock can then use those cameras to freely gather data and sell it to police

I personally find old reddit on mobile more usable than both new and the app version.

Wait, so in america you can literally just click one button on a product and instantly have it paid for and set for delivery? That seems rather accident prone.

On private/community hosted/moderated servers my experience was that cheating was mostly a non-issue. Only with the advent of forced matchmaking/only official servers and such has …

If the donations were to the opposite end of the political spectrum, do you think there would be a similar amount of backlash?

Kiwifarms did something like that, where you have to send an email to confirm your signup.

Mostly by looking at the calling site where the code is already used and the calling site where I want to reuse it. If both of those mean the same (calculate the tax on x products,…

My metric for that is "does that code MEAN the same thing" or "does it just look the same". Has worked quite well for me so far. I frequently find myself making a copy of some code…

I assume to split the overall behaviour (loop through all elements, transform some value, etc) and the specific one (apply this function to all elements, transform it in this way, …

To be more specific, incidental complexity. Many problems have tons of inherent complexity already.

Id assume "a fun challenge" could be enough of a reason

That's pretty clever code. Too clever for my tastes.

Oh right. Guess the " (2 bits per color? how is that possible)" is what threw me off there, because I read it as 2 bits per colour channel, rather than cga colour. Of course, "inde…
