    Agreed, well placed and executed action or sex scenes can be used to great effect. They are also equally capable of adding nothing but wasted time. My point is that bad action scenes have been wasting plenty of time in movies lately, so a desire for tight films with no fat is definitely not the cause for the comparative dearth of sex scenes.




  • This is technically responsive, but I think you have a fair criticism. A single rule like this would be much more maintainable:

    #content .grid-container {
    	width: 90vw;
    	min-width: 12rem;
    	max-width: 75rem;
    	padding: 2rem 0 1rem;
    }
    

    Obviously, media rules have their place, but not for something that’s consistantly a full width container like this seems to be.


  • I’m a new developer. Is that referring to page 123 of the in-house documentation? Version 12.3 of the code? I have no clue.

    You’d have to call it something like calculatePersonalIncomeTaxPerTaxCodeSection1_2_3, but I get exhausted just looking at that. There comes a point where the cognitive work of reading crazy long camel case names is more trouble than it’s worth.

    An explanation of what specification a function was written to implement is a perfectly appropriate comment. Could be improved by a direct link where possible. But it’s worth noting what that comment isn’t doing - specifying any implementation details. For that, I really can just read the code.



  • How is that better? Either way, its responding to a proud dad by dismissing all their kid’s accomplishments in order to pivot to something you think your kid does better.

    It’d be kinder to “yes, and” the bragging: “That’s great your kid aced his math test. Sounds like he’s going places. My kid’s doing great, too. He has loads of friends over every weekend and they always laugh at his jokes.” It doesn’t matter if it’s a different kind of success, you should still acknowledge their kid’s accomplishments before you brag about yours.
