Embedded for convenience:

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

The selfie is honestly not creepy at all, it kinda works too well

There’s likely a clearer error if you scroll up.

I will always use the GUI for this when given the option. Change my mind (you can’t).

I agree on the merits, but the contrarian in me has to point out that any company is a monopoly through some convoluted interpretation. For example: Logitech has a monopoly on mice and keyboards that work with their proprietary software.

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

Prescriptivist much?

There was a time when blue LEDs were the white whale of electronics, always out of reach and everyone wanted to figure out how to make them work. When someone finally did it, it was considered a massive breakthrough, and rightly so. Now they have somehow become the default cheapo LED, moreso than red or green. Could it be an industry-wide ‘fuck you’ to physics? “You tried to keep us from making blue LEDs, hah! Now look at us!!!”

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 don’t know 24, but 9 is:

Nice. I solved 22 (with 2 of them being unsure), there’s 12 I don’t know. I can only assume the multiple listings of ‘List files in current directory’ is a deliberate joke because you use it so much, but somehow it doesn’t feel right.

You should find a website to share it where people can play it interactively! I’m sure such websites are out there, it’s too obvious.
