At first I read your last line as “liberally press my ass” and I thought that was an odd way to end a rant.

I know you asked about memory, but the computer I just assembled had a 750watt power supply. As an American I think we should refer to it as a “one horsepower power supply” instead.
I feel like most of my googling of simple code is because I know what I’m trying to do, but I don’t remember the correct function name and or language structure for the language I’m currently using.
Clearly this is what we call “self documenting code”.
On my current team, when we were trying to choose a style, my only input was “any style that can be checked/applied with a git commit hook.”
I get some people prefer reading code in a particular format. Let them configure their editor to apply it, but let’s keep the version history in one unavoidably consistent style. Pretty please.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure some compiler settings can change this. I have a fuzzy memory of a bug that went away when compiled with debug flags enabled and the difference was that unassigned variables were being zeroed vs not zeroed.
While reading your comment I somehow managed to overlook the emojis initially and I just pictured you running outside with a bubble wand and a container of soapy water to celebrate.
Getting into rust is still on my to-do list, otherwise I’ve no major problem with pip or npm. They both have their flaws, but both work well enough to do what I need them for. If I had to prefer one it would be pip simply to sustain my passionate hate for all things JavaScript.
I don’t want to kick a gift horse in the mouth, but as someone who loves mixed metaphors, I’m stealing these.
