Sometimes I find myself wondering if spontaneously invading a sovereign European nation with strong ties to the most powerful alliance on earth was all that great decision in terms of economy and wellbeing.

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?

Sorry champ, you absolutely had it coming with these replies to your comment

Sure man, lemme just real quick create a whole ass community, spend countless hours striving to attract people and moderate it when these guys try to post some horrifying shit… all that to find the location of the one missing collectible from the game that I’m currently trying to complete.

Generally mods of the communities still suck to an absolute extent, not as bad as reddit but still nowhere near acceptable.

I hate not being informed of bans, and I think they are all permanent.

While I share with you the sentiment, that is an odd place for such confession

Kind of. Russia is definitely using this conflict to purge their unwanted. This is still horrifying when you realize that these are not only felons, but also groups like minorities and the poor.

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.
