Exactly! I'm not fully following Scar's POV this time but Doc's videos give a lot of glimpses of it

Also the whole impulse/gem/pearl trio has been very fun to follow

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

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?

That's pretty neat, thanks

Is there a limit on the number of posts you can save to your account? From what I know, reddit and Instagram both have a hard limit on the number of posts that a user can save before the older ones start getting forgotten. Does lemmy have any such restrictions?

Bit late to the party but I'm using Jerboa... I'm amazed at how many clients there are already, though
