My god we’re already at the beetlejuicing stage on lemmy… Nice

Name?

We usually know O’Reilley as that one annoying website that opens up with minimal information and a pointer to some chapter in some book of theirs that you need to buy to solve the question you asked

In all seriousness, people do know it exists but free/cheap online educational content is surprisingly accessible now so nobody really migrates towards textbooks anymore. Although I do admit that occasionally books have a lot of useful information that is very hard to obtain otherwise

Which will be violently yeeted away by compiler optimisation

I’m all for using vim or Emacs or whatever, and I agree that not having a dependency on a specific editing software is a great thing.

But since when did using VSCode enforce the decision on other members of the team? VSC is just going to integrate it’s features with whatever build system you are using. It doesn’t enforce any particular build tool in any project. You can use NPM, yarn. PNPM, whatever the fuck else lol… Nobody needs to maintain multiple build systems to support VSC because it is also just a text editor, albeit a bloated one. Yes, if you install all the fancy extensions to integrate VSCode with your project, it will be a heavy app, and that’s a problem. But if you want your barebones editor, just don’t install any extensions? I’ve been in projects where I’ll be using VSC while someone else will be using Vim and that one dude will be using webstorm or something. It works. There is no Microsoft^TM build tool lockdown going on.

I know vim is still far less resource intensive than code but outside of very specific use cases, I’ve never seen any modern computer struggle with running code, especially without the extensions… It’s equivalent to opening an extra chrome window, I’m sure most computers can handle that lol.

End of the day the best tool is whatever lets you personally write code faster, and for some of us that happens to be VS Code

I love dart’s approach to getter and setter methods… They let you define methods labelled explicitly as “get” or “set” methods that you can call without writing the parentheses. So the call looks like accessing a member variable, but internally it can handle additional functionality like logging or validation or whatever you want. So the syntax would look like the first example in the meme, but with all the benefits of the second example. I wish more languages would incorporate this

Perhaps a good way to handle this might be to have a single week’s updates mega-post at the end of each week with top level comments starting separate threads for each released chapter in that week?

There is a slight tradeoff though, it minimizes spam but also discussion on chapter releases in the beginning of the week would have to wait till the weekend

How is that people in positions of power often seem to have no sense of humour… Or at the very least their humour is completely different to mine… Is it just an age/generational thing?

I don’t think there is an automod but it should still be possible to make a dedicated bot account for these things… Though it would be a bit more difficult than programming automod… In the end it is up to the mods to decide how to implement something like this

Although, it sounds like a fun challenge to make a software to easily create automations for lemmy… Maybe if I get the time to I might mess around with the idea

Yep. Kind of an HxH situation but much earlier into the production of the manga. Let’s hope the author gets better

I weirdly like the setup of Isekai Shokudou because it uses this “restaurant” as a melting pot for all the different cultures of this other world to come together and interact with each other. Well setup aside the show doesn’t do a whole lot with it either and it ends up being kind of very boring. I wish they’d do something more impressive with their concept instead of using it as a base for an episodic slice of life show :/
