I just came across the following comment in some code I need to modify that was written in 2008:

I am not sure, given all that explanation, it it still qualifies as a magic number. Even the word 'sin' in heavy handed here, it's not like K&R bracing... runs and hides

I prefer K&R in C and C++
I prefer Allman in C# and most other high level languages.
Don't ask me why. I think it's just because I've gotten so used to *reading* code in those formats that I write it in those formats.

Thank you very much, I'm so relieved, that I'm not the only one.
I think after 30 years I can fill much more than 50 pages of such comments 
The only excuse I have; it was always just to satisfy the customer.
But that doesn't really help when you come across it again

I am rendering everything correctly so far in my tests, except gradients which I'm still implementing, and I hate the math. Oh, I hate the math.
But I've gotten to the point where I'm over the hump. SVGs I expect will render are rendering. Now it's just a matter of fleshing the rest out, with the gradients being probably the most difficult bit.
In part because gradient definitions are often (always?) declared across multiple tags, with xlink:href linking them in XML.
In part because you can limit the gradient positioning to the local bounding box of the shape, and specify widths, heights, radiuses, and offsets in things like percentages or even mm. It's basically like CSS.
In large part, because I have two reference implementations, but neither is going to quite work for the way I'm doing this, because I'm rendering strictly top-down, not keeping the XML nor the shapes I parse in memory. I render and I toss.
Anyway, it's a little bit overwhelming at the moment, but I still feel pretty good about the progress I've made.

That's the first test I can remember failing since I was 10 or so.
According to the graph I have trouble hearing the frequencies that human voices mostly use. Clearly, I've been listening to the wrong people for years ...

I've had the same problem + ringing in ears for 55 years.
My SO is just in the frequency range where I have a very hard time understanding her.
She's been very patient with me.

Same here, I've been wearing hearing aids for a couple of years now. At my latest test the graph even showed which letters of the alphabet were the problem.

Study harder.
I once studied an entire weekend for a urine test.

I wouldn't consider that a failure.

Reported for trolling. Take your white supremacist nonsense to twitter where it will be better received.

I don't get what's so hard to understand: There is no meaningful difference between "pretending" to be stupid in order to get attention and actually being stupid.

Not you. I was talking about the original commenter. Sorry for the confusion.
