That’s a problem when you get to the fourth.

Wherever is reading this, this article is worth looking at. Just trust me.

I see. I missed that word in the question, and I didn’t remember that definition anyway.

Who says a and b are countable

JavaScript is not named after an animal

I don’t know the system in question, but it’s definitely a bad design when comments need to be written with care. Either you set this up in a really wonky way, or the system you’re using did and it should be fixed ASAP.

What code is in charge of injecting things into a shell script?

How would that be better than a soft-button or gesture that’s always available? (I use gestures, and it’s always possible to swipe from the side to go Back)

they already have that (the Back button), guess how effective it is

I guess iphones don’t have it but nobody uses those anyway :P

As a tall man I can tell you that it’s not just a short person problem.

Oh, and if you really want a tough language, try Malbolge. The ratio of structured code to spaghetti code in that one is 0:1 - there are 0 instances of non-spaghetti code, and 1 instance of spaghetti code. I refuse to believe there’s any more code other than the Hello World example.

I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree. If any project in any language has well-organized code, it’s down to a ton of effort.

Assembly is harder to code in, period. It’s even harder when your code is a total mess and you didn’t plan ahead. For a large assembly project to survive at all, some structure is as necessary as oxygen. And not to mention, there are far fewer projects written in assembly anyway.

Okay, I’ll grant you brainfuck… As for assembly, I don’t think it’s inherently spaghetti. You can split it up into functions just like you can with an actual programming language. It’s not impossible to make structured code.

That said, I never coded assembly outside of a mandatory university course, so I don’t feel super confident in saying that. But I don’t think of it as a programming language anyway - it’s a 1:1 translation to/from machine code, and machine code isn’t meant to make programming easy or scalable.

I firmly believe that every language has an equal proportion of spaghetti code to clean code. The only factor that might screw with this is how much a language is used in industry, which I’d expect raises the ratio. However, there’s plenty of hobbyists writing spaghetti code too so I don’t think even that factor has much effect.

This may be true, but it’s equally true in any programming language, so not really relevant.

I have no idea.

You’re wrong. Amazon mixes inventory between themselves and any other seller that’s fulfilled by Amazon, meaning if one random seller has fake product, then even the “sold by Amazon” option can send you that other seller’s fake product. And vice versa, of course.

You have to get your electronics from somewhere, retailers’ supply chain has a helluva lot more quality control than Amazon. Just because you can’t get to 100% doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive for, well, anything more than the worst chances anyone can offer.

Don’t buy electronics through amazon. This is precisely why.

Ooh, I did guess wrong! That is an interesting specimen.

My suspicion is that they are experts in ergonomics, not in electrical engineering, so they probably aren’t aware of how silly and possibly dangerous what they did is. Or perhaps they simply don’t care because “it gets the job done”, standards and specifications be damned.

Anyway, in this case I’m happy to be proven wrong. Thanks.
