@trinsec Actually in the USA the rich tend to be taxed even more than int he Netherlands.
@Gargron I have a feature request. Can you make it so when I block an account on mastodon it automatically sends a killer assassin robot back through time to kill the person when they were first born.
I figure thats the best way to maintain efficient code and comprehensible timelines.
Let me know.
@trinsec Well not exactly. Generally people with more money pay more taxes and thus for the vast majority of people they are just stealing what they get from the rich.
@xue Actually both of them are. Snoop has been convicted of both assault and drug charges in the 90s.
@worldsendless Just use keyoxide :)
Today's XKCD is something I can partake in right now! I'm the perfect vessel for whatever common cold virus is roaming around! :P *Cough* *Hack* *Wheeze* #XKCD
@worldsendless Agreed, code should be readable even with comments. Comments generally shouldnt be used to explain the code line by line unless your doing something counter interpretive that needs pointing out (which hopefully is rare). Comments should be focused and the method and class level describing what a method does, the valid inputs it accepts, what errors it will throw and why, and what return values it will provide as well as their type.
Comments shouldnt describe algorithms so much as interface bounaries (public methods and classes)
@worldsendless Its equally true if those 12 methods arent external, as then you need to go look at the code for all 12 methods.
Honestly IMO there is **never** an excuse not to document methods unless the program you are writing is very small to the point of being a simple script. Even then its still probably a good idea.
I bid -5$, if you send me 5$ I will allow you to send the rock along with it... Technically you are still meeting the conditions of the challenge. They never said the price couldnt be negative!
@satan After years on the fedi I have only started adding to my private block list recently. The server I run continues to not have a block list and will stay that way.
@satan almost... hell doesnt have block lists :)
@selea Strange I like, when otherwise respectful and not emotional... Sadly strange tends to go hand in hand with being an ass more often than not.
@selea Nah, there are a few exceptions, you would be one of them :)
even me? ![]()
