I suspect that what you want to check out is the tangle newsletter.

They report on one major story each day, share several viewpoints from each side, and then the personal take of Isaac Saul, the creator of the newsletter.

My wife made me stop at two viewings. I’ll tell her we have to push through.

I too was traumatized by watching SatansMaggotyCumFart’s parent’s sex tape.

I have no idea why I bought it, and even less idea why SatansMaggotyCumFart would release it.

Later on, I learned that an excess of comments is actually not considered a good practice.

Pointless or uninformative comments are not good, regardless of the quantity.

Useful and informative comments are always good, regardless of the quantity.

I learned that comments might be a code smell indicating that the code is not very clear.

When I’m looking at someone else’s code, I want to see extensive, descriptive comments.

Good code should be so clear, that it doesn’t need comments.

That hits me like something a teacher tells you in a coding class that turns out to be nonsense when you get to the real world.

I’m not sure how others do it.

As I’m coding, the comments form part of my plan. I write the comments before the code. As I discover I’ve made incorrect assumptions or poor decisions, I correct the comments with the new plan, then correct the code to match the updated comments.

As a final step in coding, when I feel it is complete, I’ll review comments to determine what should remain to help future me if I ever have to dig into it again.

Variable names should be reasonably memorable and make contextual sense, but that’s it. That’s what they exist for. Don’t overload the purpose of anything I’m the code.

About 40 years. We met for real when she was in 9th grade and I was in 10th grade. We started dating when she was 15 and I was 16. We got married 32 years ago.

Edit: Since it looks like we’re the oldest couple in the thread so far: first date was October 5, 1986.

I don’t know. Future me is already pretty pissed about me forgetting to take lactaid.

The tray is for water spills more than coffee spills. If water spills, it’s much less and not difficult to clean up. When it’s a coffee spill like this, it’s much more effort to clean up.

Also, I thought I was going to have coffee, but instead I had a mess.

Yeah. The tray underneath is really just to catch water spills, but it definitely came in handy today.

I’ve done it often with the machine at work, but I’m always nearby, so I catch it before it overflows the drip tray.

I don’t know what that is, but I’m guessing it would be bad.

Yep. Started the machine and carried my breakfast out to my desk. Had to go back for something and thought, “something sounds wrong”, but it was almost finished.

The horror!!!

Been there, done that.

Glad to hear it.

I had a solid block of meetings this morning, but they’re over now. I made myself grilled cheese with tomato for lunch, so it’s turning out better than it started.

Originally the tray was there because I spill water when I’m refilling it, but it proved helpful in this case as well.

Words matter. Fascism is a very specific thing. Calling every authoritarian government fascism just dilutes the meaning of the word.
