Opinion: if the method takes a boolean it should be split to two methods. If it takes two bools it’s four methods in a trench-coat.

That’s a good bot!

Ah, yes, the things that are extremely valuable as long as you don’t account for externalities.

They switched actor.

Thank goodness you’re here is short and fun.

There is some truth to this - staying on the bleeding edge exposes you to things earlier.

Not really surprising, but maybe a consequence people who want to be on the latest version immediately did not consider. Good article!

Nice set of comparisons. Been a while since I’ve seen these kinds of articles.

This looks interesting, but I don’t particularly want another client app for this when we can “just use curl” and have that in files (already very git-friendly)?

This will not help many, but I’ve found a good way that helps me and my team, since we’re all in VSCode most of the time anyway. The extension “REST client” lets us write HTTP calls directly in a file and run them from there, with some basic variables and support for different kinds of authentication scheme and environment variables. It has replaced POSTman and Bruno for us: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.rest-client

If you’re not already using a vscode based IDE this won’t help you at all, sure. But, if you are - this lets you write up sequences of requests in a (still manual, but quite quick) file to test APIs and play with them. Highly recommended!

please, no more discords!

Lemmy had gotten BIG!

I think they’re talking about Europa, the water-nymph and consort of Zeus.

I did not know she was that into milk packaging, but that’s cool.

The ocean is BIG. Chance of something big enough to be interested in you discovering you and deciding to eat you in 30 seconds is minuscule.

Sharks aren’t mindless chomping machines.

Cthulhu might be problematic, though.

it’s like being an atheist and therefore not caring about the details of transsubstantiation. irrelevance.

you think I don’t know this - I know I don’t care about it

aren’t all of them “do a short pause”?

not actually a hyphen, a minus (not that this matters to me in the slightest)

I’m sorry, but “the pause is too weak” sounds squarely in the area of faffery to me.

dashes cannot always replace commas, but commas can replace dashes.

thus - commas are more powerful

thus, commas are more powerful

sorry, replied to the wrong comment

em dashes are typographical faffery and have always been (in my opinion) a marker of writers who take themselves, and the surface level of their style, far too serious.

just use commas, my friend
