I often use comments as ways to say, “I know this is cursed, but here’s why the obvious solution won’t work.” Like so:
/**
* The column on this table is badly named, but
* renaming it is going to require an audit of our
* db instances because we used to create them
* by hand and there are some inconsistencies
* that referential integrity breaks. This method
* just does some basic checks and translates the
* model’s property to be more understandable.
* See [#27267] for more info.

Edit: to answer your question more directly, the “why not what” advice is more about the intent of whether to write a comment or not in the first place rather than rephrasing the existing “what” style comments. What code is doing should be clear based on names of variables and functions. Why it’s doing that may be unclear, which is why you would write a comment.
So this is admittedly the first genocide I’ve followed this closely in real time. Is it normal for them to just… announce what they’re doing the entire time? The general who drafted the plan posted it on YouTube? What?
Linux installs have gotten so quick and painless over the past decade or so. Usually just following a GUI, waiting like 5 minutes for the install, and suddenly you’re booted into a fresh desktop.
I think you’re going to need to link to some proof or example. You’re clearly using a definition of AI that’s broader than the colloquial definition everyone’s assuming you’re using.
What is the “good” that I’m somehow opposing with my perfectionism? What is good about this bill? Preferably not in the form of the Wikipedia article for another thought terminating cliche.
She’s literally supporting signing a bill that funds building the wall. How is that not going back on her opposition to the wall? Not to mention the wall is probably one of the less egregious parts of that bill.
Right? I didn’t know he’d said he would use the power like that before I’d read the article and I had to double check it was a Biden quote. What an evil fucking ghoul.
Well first of all it gives the president the abilty to shut the border down until they figure out what the hell is going on
Where in the bill is this stated?
Biden said of the bill, “It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.”
To anyone saying to just go read the bill, I’d love for you to point me to an article that even names the name of the bill in question, let alone links to the full text of the bill. I just spent 10 minutes searching for it and I’m giving up because I have better shit to do.
Umberto Eco completely ignores the material basis for fascism, which is usually the downwardly mobile petit bourgeoisie. Fascism takes advantage of superstructural elements, which is why Eco’s list contains the elements it does in a kind of grab bag fashion. But it still has a material basis, itself being a response to a crisis within capitalism. Would highly recommend The Jakarta Method for further reading on what people are discussing in your replies and in this thread.
I spend 8 hours a day gluing together spells my company purchased from a proprietary caster’s book to serve increasingly arcane (no pun intended) business needs. In my free time, I like to read about the latest advancements in corporate spellcraft, but most of the new spells are either patches of old spells or new spells that fix problems created by popular spells of the past 5 years. These new spells inevitably introduce new problems that will be “solved” in another 5 years.
Behold! I have unfurled powers beyond mortal comprehension!
How wizards would actually talk:
If I hear, “why don’t you just channel the infernal essence through an ephemeral plane?” one more goddamn time from someone who hasn’t actually read the fucking rune diagrams, I’m going to lose my shit.
Several reverse image searches and searches of the text have yielded little to nothing useful. Just looks like a meme someone threw together as a joke.
