one of today's lucky 10,000

very short children's book, with intentionally atypical rhythm, by Dr Seuss

written in call-response style in dialogue between two characters (unnamed and Sam-I-Am)

noticed someone like "comments are lazy! never use them! write better code!"

A:

• I'm paid for doing the job, I'm not paid to be not lazy.
• comments are fucking useful

The real answer is it's not A or B. Comments matter, but don't scattershot them either, better written code can make it so it's less comments, not commentless.

Humans are not infallible beings, even code written with the perfect intent can have bugs in it, or be overly rigid and inflexible, caused by moments of fuzzy logic coming from the meat side.

Without comments though, when that fuzzy code breaks, then nobody else will know what the original intent was and will then have to waste time either deciphering the intent and then fixing the one or two badly written lines out of the thousands, or rewriting the whole thing from scratch.

Also, there's the other factor you're ignoring. There's no infallible programming languages either (especially JavaScript, king of inconsistency.)

Intuitively you'd assume that !nullyValue is always going to behave the same, but that's just straight-up not true for all instances, and you need comments to go // known bug with Firefox v12, have to use this none-standard pattern as workaround

Easy mistake to make 😅

Great response!

Ah but it paints fascism in a negative light, therefore woke

*Tinder

Ah see but, Bf1 is "woke"

That's a good prompt response! It reads just like an actual person who is worried about a stupid thing for no good reason at all.

Ah it's very simple, you would buy this if you'd made your whole personality about being a GAMER, where you believe that the only real games are FPS PvP War Simulation, and everyone that plays anything else is a poseur.

Nobody omitted that. You just have poor reading comprehension

for the initial trial period, also in my own words.

It's no longer in the trial period. No random samples. Just have to be a member of the governing body (which does take effort and a nominal fee to join)

You do know the definition of Pilot Program, right?

Here it is;

Pilot Program: To test the feasibility of a path of action that is aiming to become more widespread, by choosing a smaller subset of the eligible people and then using the program on only that subset and analysing the results. If results are positive, then the program is approved and becomes widespread, if the results are negative or no change, then the program is not approved

The document linked is about the Pilot Program, the details of the Full Program are not yet known, but it can be presumed that it will be the exact same as the Pilot Program minus the Random Sampling (as the point is to cover everyone that is eligible)

Edit: spelling

Then you're daft.

You have to be a part of an art organisation (as in a governing body that requires paid membership to join), and to have proof of being paid, multiple times, for making art

Being paid to create art, that's the literal job description

And it's not a full UBI, it's got an assessment as part of it

There's a longer and better version of this that has a fanart of it

I can see it fine, also UK
