If the language itself permits assignments in an if-clause, i'ts rather a fact of bad language or compiler / interpreter design. If it is an intended feature , the compiler atleast should give you a warning, or introduce a new syntax to make it more verbose.

Its python byte representation in hex, could be that some bytes are automatically got converted to ascii chars

@hack wouldn‘t it rather be like: You can buy more than one bottle, but you're always getting the same.

Honestly i used vim for a long time and i didn't regret it yet. It makes writing code so fluid.

Then i tried emacs, just get a glimps on what the „dark“ site was using :D .

Now i can say Emacs + evil mode ( vim mode) is the shit, you get the best of both worlds.

@8BitOverdose Actually it does but you have to extra quote it like „“Users““.
Fun fact: postgresql wont accept user as table because it's reserved. Had to learn it the hard way 😅

I like vscode for typescript development , but i cant go without vim keybinds. I'd say it works fine for most of the vim functionalities, but acts weird some times.
E.g. search and replace , you can barely see your search string in the status bar. Visual mode doesn't always work like in vim and i find saving with :w doesn't feel 100% native.
Anyway i would rate it a 8/10

As a german apprentice i'd definitely say it's okay. I mean they only require only a little bit of knowledge on this „languages“.

But anyway if you're using java , you'll probably use a orm like jpa or hibernate anyway. Are they really required to write sql by hand , except for migrations ?

Also compared to my company we're doing the „cool shit“ like: micro services , nodejs , spring boot, ci/cd , k8s with helm
Feels good man :D

There is a good explanation of how the single and double dash parameter style evolved. You can look it up here :) http://faqs.org/docs/artu/...
