Comments don’t describe the code. They describe the decision to use this business logic.
If you stick to good engineering practices, like small methods/functions, decoupling, and having testable code, you don’t often need many comments to show what your code does. I always recommend a method signature, though, because you can save a few seconds by just saying that a block of code does, rather than me needing to read exactly how you turned one dict into another dict…
In that case I’m not really sure what you’re expecting from AI, without getting into the philosophical debate of what intelligence is. Most modern AI systems are in essence taking large datasets and regurgitating the most relevant data back in a relevant form.
Funny enough, there have been a few attempts to create this for combat sports sparring and competitions, and every time, it gets immediately shut down due to liability. No gym would want to host a bunch of unvetted randoms and take liability for what they choose to do to each other, and few people were up for app-based competitions.
Hank is also mostly a product of his environment, yet a caring father that accepts his family for who they are. If all boomers were like Hank Hill, we’d all be happy.
No, commenting a function should be commonplace, if not only so that your IDE/editor can use the documentation when the signature is found elsewhere in your code.
Within a function, though, basically means that something gnarly is happening that wouldn’t be obvious, or that the function is doing more than it (probably) should.
My wife went to school with someone from a popular TV show a few years back, where she’d be in sex scenes fairly frequently (from what I hear, I watched a few episodes and hated it). She had a long-term boyfriend at the time, and it didn’t take long for him to not be cool with it.
She also went to school with a musician that had a stab at a solo career. She had some raunchy scenes in a music vid, and that quickly led to her breaking up with her boyfriend.
Those are my only two frames of reference, but I imagine it’s quite hard to deal with emotionally, even if you know it meant nothing and is just a part of the job.
YES! I wish more people knew about RFC 3339. While I’m all for ISO 1601, it’s a bit too loose in its requirements at times, and people often end up surprised that it’s just not the format they picked…
I don’t really think there is a special relationship any more.
Iraq war aside, there hasn’t really been much of a relationship. Brexit helped destroy this, because we’re now a tiny country begging for trade deals with nothing other than a weak pound and cheap labour to offer, with zero desire to engage with the US’s poor food standards and heavily privatised healthcare industry. Biden has been closer to Ireland, if anything, and probably for good reason.
What is very surprising is that the US hasn’t engaged in a trade deal to install parts of their tech infrastructure here, or to allow US students cisa options to live/stay here, given the UK has world-class universities. Pair this with a UK-specific visa akin to what Australia has with the US, and it gives benefits to both sides.
The special relationship was always a bit of a meme here in the UK anyway. Tony Blair was Bush’s lapdog, because it kept him looking powerful.
