Extremely good news, the pricing of Chinese cars is not just a healthy competition to European counterparts, they were a form of attack on the European industry.

The Chinese never found a way to make profit in spite of radically lower prices, this is a state-funded strive to reach dominion and monopolize the market, after which they can do whatever the fuck they want.

It is the exact same fucking strategy they practiced with Temu, Alibaba and AliExpress operate at extreme deficit covered by the state, amass clients and then increase the prices.

To me, there are two classifications of DRY - one I find harmful, the other very useful.

First one resembles mathematical extractions, essentially you never allow a single chunk of code to be written twice and you create massive amounts of global util junk. This also creates some bad tight coupling.

The other is more logical, where you only extract logic in places you want to always change together. Simple and effective.

dis 'bout you?

That’s your opinion my man

I’m not gonna continue using arguments if all you can respond with is cynicism, apparently I wasn’t wrong about the elitism part

That I do, yes, because that’s a small chunk of code that - when necessary - would have to be completely remade anyways, not just modified.

And then a few more any time you actually want to use it.

And then double it each time you have to decipher the existing one

Just don’t use regex unless there is really no other way, and when you absolutely have to - frankly, that’s one of the ultra rare occasions I recommend using the AI.

Ah yes, spoken like a true elitist asshole

This sounds just extremely dumb to me, as in “do something manually for 2 minutes or spend 2 days automating it”

Also, DRY in 90% of the cases is a sham

I don’t get it, what’s so bad about boilerplate?

First thing - you really confused the signs

Second thing - you really have no idea what you’re talking about.

Alcohol is definitely a menace to society, but the strongest alcohol a man can drink (like absinth, not methanol) will be much less devastating than cocaine or meth after one dose. Not to mention some other vile drugs like the russian krokodil.

Wait, you mean to say that strong drugs are less harmful than cigs and tame drugs?

And that alcohol is in the same category as cocaine or meth?

Deleted my comment because I was wrong, AfD does not lobby against nuclear plants.

However it does not change the fact that they are neonazi Putin enthusiasts

I think I’d be more happy with my compatriots abusing cigarettes and not drugs. US has massive narcotic consumption problem and cigarettes I’d call the mildest of this subgroup.

That’s what got me hooked into lemmy for good after being seriously sceptical for the first few tries.

Little to no comments on most posts was worrysome compared to the absolute flood of content on Reddit. But when I comment here, I get replies. And these replies feel like they matter.

Love me some minesweeper. Does this version also guarantees that are games are deterministic, i.e. you never have to guess the bomb layout?

Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games…

true gamers dont watch movies 😡😡😡😡🤬🤬

og movie freaks dont play vidya 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

I had a nasty habit to argue with subreddit mods after being banned for mild violations. Obviously that would only happen when the penalty had been inadequate, otherwise I would keep my mouth shut.

It happened two times, at first I was banned for a week on the whole platform. Second time, I was permanently banned from reddit.

Mind you, these two were the only occasions I was banned from reddit per se. I would naturally receive bans on various subreddit for reasons, but never from the entire website.

Funny how the most powerful people on reddit are also most fragile and best protected by the admins.
