Oldman.setHealth(“dicktits”); //normalize pls

0

Oldman.setHealth(“-100±1%”); //make percentage pls

Reject operations.

Use absolute number to remove the minus. Math.abs()

Oldman.setHealth(0.0); //it is subunitary, but undefined behavior - will it access the ‘numeric value’ overload, or the ‘subunitary numeric value’ overload?

Same result either way, so whatever if branch is first.

Understand the purpose. If you want to kill the old man with 0, then there’s no point to leaving it as 0.9%, understand the non-linear characteristics of life and death.

When you’re dealing with the low level functions, sure, you can keep it simple. When you’re reaching the surface of user input, you’re either going to waste time with validation and error reporting, or you’re going to waste time with interfaces that can handle more shit without complaining. There’s no fool proof either way, but good luck pissing users off with endless docs.

Don’t write your own code just yet.

If your goal in programming is just to be a traffic cop between the user input and the database, all you’re doing is building a virtual bureaucracy, the kind that people really hate and is easily generated with coding tools. Or you’re just deferring the “smoothing out” burden to the UI developers.

…ends with. And there are more ways to parse.

Absolute (cm)

adding one 0:

100%, automatically changes unit to %

(Word table properties)

The high level setter function should be made to handle both string and numeric values.

If it contains “%” it’s a percentage value.

If it’s a string without a “%” it’s an absolute value and needs to be normalized.

If it’s a numeric value, it’s an absolute value.

If it’s a numeric 100, it’s 100%.

If it’s a subunitary numeric value, it’s a percentage.

It’s the API’s job to validate it either way. As it does that job, it may as well parse the string as an integer.

I’m not a solipsist.

I fucking hate timezones. Whatever it is, I’d rather read the current clock as 4 a.m. even if it’s noon than have timezones.

Squashing

The s “squash” command is where we see the true utility of rebase. Squash allows you to specify which commits you want to merge into the previous commits. This is what enables a “clean history.” During rebase playback, Git will execute the specified rebase command for each commit. In the case of squash commits, Git will open your configured text editor and prompt to combine the specified commit messages. This entire process can be visualized as follows:

Note that the commits modified with a rebase command have a different ID than either of the original commits. Commits marked with pick will have a new ID if the previous commits have been rewritten.

You can also amend for a softer approach, which works better if you don’t push to remote after every commit.

The git commit --amend command is a convenient way to modify the most recent commit. It lets you combine staged changes with the previous commit instead of creating an entirely new commit. It can also be used to simply edit the previous commit message without changing its snapshot. But, amending does not just alter the most recent commit, it replaces it entirely, meaning the amended commit will be a new entity with its own ref. To Git, it will look like a brand new commit, which is visualized with an asterisk (*) in the diagram below.

You can keep amending commits and creating more chunky and meaningful ones in an incremental way. Think of it as converting baby steps into an adult step.

Who would use that kind of type coercion? Who? I want to see his face.

There are too many blogs and posts.

simulAIcrum

I mean integrated directly into the interface of the apps. Example: they have an “Editor” tab for Word that can analyze and get into the document directly. I expect that this will be where the ChatGPT tools will be implemented. Or is there some professional version of ChatGPT that does that already? I have only tested the free one.

Wait, copilot and ChatGPT use are skills? Isn’t that a bit like how using a phone is a skill?

It’s about at the same level as “Microsoft Office” as a skill. They’re probably working on embedding ChatGPT and DALL-E in that suite. I’ve actually asked ChatGPT for some tips on using advanced features that I didn’t know about and it worked nicely.

What would even be the design solution without massive empty space? Add a lot of columns? Make the long content horizontal instead of vertical?

This is excellent

No. Users should be forced to install hundreds of apps, with two thirds of apps running simultaneously. And if they don’t have memory left on the device for that, they should uninstall apps and reinstall them when necessary.

that’s some PTSD comment right there, I’m getting flashbacks.
