Oy, I'm the autistic one here. Why am I explaining to you not to take things too literally :p

Again, it's an easy refactor to make it not global. There are cases where that extra abstraction work simply does not add value.

With your background, you should know that

One of the issues with time restarting for one person is that no one else knows it is. And they're alone in their condition. If everyone's were to reboot, then everyone would notice

It only takes a single example of a project that presented a clear goal to prove you wrong.

However... plebbit is just garbage, and it's obvious

Ahh, I don't think the question is to be taken that literally. And if you look around in the responses, you see plenty of people with more nuanced answers.

However, you can still have an opinion about the overall organisation regardless of the nuance.

Eyy, someone who actually reads! Last time a post like this popped up it was like arguing with someone who was just reading of a list of "top 10 most popular buzzwords"

Rotten to the core

Nah, people need to know to stay away from this

This again? Stop marketing your shitty crypto scam infused lemmy rippoff

No need, that pizza clearly has "cat" all over it

I think you're confusing "false dichotomy" with "question". You could argue this if they were talking more in depth about the organisation. But that's not what's happening here

Wouldn't that remove the aspect of no one else believing you?

Facebook got caught having a flat text file being send around between employees to make accessing data easier. That text file contained tens of thousands of peoples username and password.

Why? Facebook being facebook I guess

It happens a bit too often that I make an account somewhere with a long, generated password and then when I log in it throws errors at me.

But a few times a website didn't just show me an error, I got the whole crash dump including their encryption approach and versioning

Back to the bullshit of the 80's ey? Just ask out whomever, you can't read their minds. The only way you'll know what they think is if you actually go up to them and ask.

This "league" stuff is just an excuse for people who don't have the courage to talk to their crush

Aaand.. you didn't even bother to google it :/

This is not about storage durations, and it's local to a function

In most cases it's a bad idea, yes.

Also, have another look at that example code snippet though: that static variable is local to that function. It's a weird feature in c.

I've used it quite often in embedded code where a single variable was only for one function, and only for that one app/device. Wrapping it in a struct would've made the code needlessly more complex (that's a code smell). And yet, these static locals are very easy to refactor to one local to a struct. May the situation change, that's still an option.

If you do have a super complex boolean expression, I wouldn't call it a smell. It'll be much more obvious

Indeed, so now it is a code smell.

Fair enough, code from a different era smells different

They aren't saying never have complex boolean expressions...

That's not what I'm saying either. But I think this is to be judged on a case by case basis. And it can depend on your understanding of the context. I think there's simply too much nuance here to just say "this smells"
