idk if that's a great example as the comparison to nullptr is redundant though I learned the hard way that if you do provide a condition, you have to check for falsey yourself. which I guess makes sense when you see how it's specified but also gently caress c++

Soricidus posted:I’ve been writing php again and holy poo poo how does this language manage to be so bad, it’s actually impressive something like this is on like every third manual page in php, assuming you need to look up every single function (like I do) (because there's zero consistency so intuition is impossible) sometimes it's a pleasant surprise. last time I touched php I wanted to iterate through a couple arrays at the same time. the massive hierarchy of "iterator" classes were a dead end, but turns out every "array" has its own "current index", which was very convenient!

Its a Rolex posted:i also set up some CI that managed dependency versioning, and nobody wants to use it because they don't like that PRs are opened by a bot which tell them to set compatibility bounds. every other week i am putting out a fire where a public package releases a breaking change, and the 0 compatibility bounds in place mean that breaking release gets included automatically in builds and breaks an environment (most recently this made its way to prod) I hate this poo poo too. your "compatibility bounds" don't mean anything (unless you're writing elm) pin exact or nothing

cinci zoo sniper posted:serious question: what's the case against semantic versioning? any big brain blog posts (medium brain is fine too) i'll also appreciate, if there are such unless it's enforced by tooling (e.g. elm) it's entirely up to the whims of the maintainer. "oops should've bumped major, not minor, sorry" and even if you do it right for public api, there's all kinds of implementation details you can change without changing the "public api" that nonetheless fucks with library users. there's the usual dumb poo poo like scraping error messages that you could blame on the caller holding it wrong. but esoteric poo poo like "now we round down instead of up" is probably not gonna be thought of as public api it's probably good for maintainers to think about the changes they're making and how to describe them to library users. but unless you trust all 1-50000 (depending on ecosystem) maintainers you welcome into your project, and they never make a mistake, you're better off pinning exact versions

I mean, I tend to specify a version range of "up to next major" and use a lockfile to avoid surprise bumps, which sounds like what you're doing? and I don't have a ton of transitive dependencies to worry about, so there's a small enough set of libraries involved that when I wanna bump something that I can glance over their changelogs first. it's not perfect, and would be much more difficult in node or wherever to keep up with all that. and I still miss things that weren't in the changelog but I draw the line at having a bot automatically bumping things

I am 80% joking about elm. I do like how its package manager rejects library updates that break/add public api without a major/minor version bump. only solves the "broke the build" problem though, not the rest of it and yeah I consider it a feature that giving myself more work to janitor dependencies means I am less inclined to depend on things

last time I touched mysql I couldn’t figure out how to atomically create things (tables, indexes) because create statements seemingly weren't rolled back on transaction failure/rollback. did I miss something or is that how it is? (the recent discussion reminded me of this, but I'm not trying to enter the discussion, just curious about mysql)

if you think about it, 1. look up the one true officially blessed python package tool 2. see there still isn't one and pick whatever seems plausible for your use case is technically one, and only one, way to do python packaging

oh sorry, by "officially blessed python package tool" I meant "tool that performs the expected functions of a package manager, such as 'resolve dependencies', and is labelled as the one true such tool on python.org". I see how that could be conflated with "tool labelled on python.org as the one true package manager but won't actually do expected functions of a package manager, such as 'resolve dependencies'"

if they don't want the docs, edit your issue op to contain the docs you wrote. then it'll show up in searches and share most of the repo url, so other people can still find it
