Not who you asked but I think they’re important for humans, but syntactically I don’t think they should matter.

It should be ok to add a line break wherever it makes the code more readable, but I don’t think a compiler should care whether some code is all on one line or 10

Mostly agree. I’m ok with single characters in a one line / single expression lambda, but that’s the only time I’m ok with it.

Building microchips is really hard and Taiwan has held a practical monopoly on the industry for a while now. It’s not that the US doesn’t have educated workers, but it wouldn’t surprise me that it is hard to find many qualified to build the actual facilities to manufacture microchips - most of the US’s involvement in microchips has been designing them and then handing those designs over to Taiwan for manufacturing.

C# is what I primarily write at work, and it’s honestly great to work with. The actual business logic tends to be easy to express, and while I do write a some boilerplate/ceremony, most of it is for the framework and not the language itself. Even that boilerplate generally tends to have shorthand in the language.

The US can barely even put sidewalks where it’s convenient. I have very little hope for our local governments to add bike lanes to it.

Hey man, I personally don’t mind it! I like to see people’s updates in their journey to learn something new.

1 hundredweight = (1 qt * 32) + 100.7, of course. It’s very intuitive.

When you use the @rust tag, it creates a post on Lemmy - see here for your post: https://programming.dev/post/2222112

I came across this one just yesterday and while it was convenient at first, I immediately got frustrated when I went to add some parameters and discovered it wasn’t actually curl

You just need to configure your build command and most likely your publish directory. Netlify honestly makes it really easy.

The build command is whatever you’d type in your terminal to compile your react app, and the publish directory is wherever your build command creates your static assets.

“Sorry, our unbelievably massive military budget is only for active duty military. Best we can do is schedule you an appointment to talk to someone next year about the benefits you won’t be receiving.”

“If a student uses the college search tool on CB.org, the student can add a GPA and SAT score range to the search filters. Those values are passed [to Facebook]”

So they don’t associate your official score to your browser, but presumably students who are using that search tool would be searching their real score - or a range close to it.

The headline is fairly leading, but the statement from the College Board is also fairly misleading. They’re not directly selling your official score to advertisers, but they’re indirectly selling data about you that gives a pretty good idea of your score.
