[Meta] rule[0] = rule[0][:-1] + trial_addendum (self.ProgrammerHumor)

tskaiser[M] が 投稿 - stickied post

Soon after this post an alteration to the sidebar rules will appear, specifically with regards to rule[0]:

  1. All submitted content must be related to programming or programmers, or the title of the submission must substantially enhance the content such that it can stand on its own as an analogy to programming or programmers.

the part in italics being a trial addendum to the rule allowing certain types of content even though it is not, on its own, obviously related to programming or programmers.

This change follows deliberation based on this discussion: [Meta] Rule 1 needs to be rewritten.

What is meant by "stand on its own" is that the title should yield a context which makes the content itself appear as an analogy, after which the title is no longer needed for the viewer to appreciate the content as being related to programming or programmers.

Examples of recent submissions that follow this addendum:

Examples of submissions that would not follow this addendum would be most reactiongifs, where the content itself is unable to stand on its own as being relevant to programming or programmers. I would here like to bring up again that there exists a subreddit specifically for those kind of submissions: /r/programmerreactions.

It should be noted, and this is irrespective of this change, that "title" does not necessarily cover the submission title only. Superimposed text on imagery counts as being part of the title, not the content, of a submission.

I normally do not moderate backwards in time, but as a special case I have reapproved the original Deadlock submission that sparked this discussion.

The title of this post suggests that you are deleting/replacing the last item of rule 1. In python, [:-1] means up to but not including the last item. The trial addendum should also be wrapped in a singleton list.

Pedantic Programmer Man, away!

+/u/CompileBot python

rule0 = "All submitted content must be related to programming or programmers."
trial_addendum = ", or the title of the submission must substantially enhance" \
                 " the content such that it can stand on its own as an analogy"\
                 " to programming or programmers."

# other rules omitted, this is only an example
rule = [rule0]

# finally, we arrive at the title
rule[0] = rule[0][:-1] + trial_addendum

print rule[0]

Output:

All submitted content must be related to programming or programmers, or the title of the submission must substantially enhance the content such that it can stand on its own as an analogy to programming or programmers.

I have honestly never seen an internet argument won this decisively before.

The [:-1] slice removes the punctuation mark of rule[0] before concatenating the two strings. The italics start with the comma. This is modeled, and tested, on Python 2.x.

edit: also works under Python 3.x

Ah, I didn't realize it was so literal. I was taking the rule to be a sub-list rather than a string. I stand corrected.
