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

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?

Man when I first realised that Relay for Reddit is still working, I legit thought that Reddit’s strategy was to just scare people into shutting down third party apps without wasting a dime on actually upgrading their API lol

Meanwhile half the subs have gone into protest mode in all sorts of ways… My favorite is r/madlads who gave all users mod privileges, in true madlads fashion

Edit: can you link to a resource explaining the custom patching thing? Sounds interesting, might try it out
