I finally figured out how to get those pesky semicolons and curly braces out of my Java code

My PR to @chesscom where it randomly gives you 400 puzzle points then takes them away was accepted

OH: "But if nobody is in a hurry, I’d love to toss it in the backlog and ignore it forever"

Copilot really does know what I was going to write

Linter said not to nest ternaries so I mixed in if statements:

const onHideButton = type => {
if (hideButton === null) {
return sudo ? onParentHideButton(type)
: !sudo ? true : undefined
} else {
return hideButton ? undefined
: onParentHideButton(type)
}

I write a script called "d" to deploy to prod, then realized I could golf the one character name down to zero! I have since mapped the F3 key to deploy to production. Very satisfying code golfing, plus it cuts our time to launch deployments by 50%

Someone copied an existing method of mine and removed the curly braces to reduce the line count

I'm getting better at software reuse. I had an old concurrent program whose purpose I forgot, so I repurposed it as a random string function

Why doesn't VS Code show me exactly how many errors I have? Oh wait

Enjoying these React Hooks. Been working on my

usePython

hook for the last three years. About 60% done so it should be ready in late 2023

Tired: __ to "hide" props in Python

Wired:

class Thing:
def __init__(self, desc):
Thing.__str__ = lambda s: desc

t = Thing("works")

print(t) # => yes, prints "works"

They took my suggestion

Fortunately the JavaScript floor operator ~~ is idempotent so you can repeat it often to make those important type conversions easy to find at a glance

console.log(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(100/7))

Just getting to my bug fix list from 2013

[Uncle Bob's Nibling @thedirtycoder]

@jpsecher Nah, I have enough entanglement among my global variables already

[Uncle Bob's Nibling @thedirtycoder]

Before you look at my code, it is both clean and not clean at the same time

Just kidding, you don't need to look

Writing `def draw() ...` then `g.draw = draw` felt redundant and wasted a line of code so I fixed it

g.draw = lambda: \
g.background("skyblue") and \
g.fill("yellow") and \
g.ellipse(g.width, 0, g.height / 2)

Y'all criticize JS for having both null and undefined but IDL takes this to another level, and !NULL is just one of some beautiful "constant variables" (check out the super descriptive !VALUES)
