when the official docs are telling you to use it, then it’s used. You can have no expectation of people to think the tooling isn’t shit when it’s literally the official recommendation.

Anything but the last one. Don’t duplicate the http code in the body, else you’re now maintaining something you don’t need to maintain.

I’m not a fan of codes that repeat information in the body either, but I think if you had used a different example like “INVALID_BLAH” or something then the message covered what was invalid, then it would be fine. Like someone else said, the error data should be in an object as well, so that you don’t have to use polymorphism to figure out whether it’s an error or not. That also allows partially complete responses, e.g. data returns, along with an error.

Does type inference provide a practical benefit to you beyond saving you some keystrokes?

it’s more readable! like, that’s literally the whole point. It’s more readable and you don’t have to care about a type unless you want or need to.

What tools do you use for code review? Do you do them in GitHub/gitlab/Bitbucket or are you pulling every code review directly into your IDE? How frequently do you do code reviews?

I use GitHub and Intellij. I do code reviews daily, I’m one of two staff software engineers on my team. I rarely ever need to know the type, and if I do Github is perfect for 90% of use cases, and for the other 10% I literally click the PR button in intellij and open up the pull request that way. It’s dead simple.

My response to the article is that you’re sacrificing gains in language because some people use outdated tools. Code has more context than what is just written. Many times you can’t see things in the code unless you dig in, for example responses from a database or key value store, or literally any external api. Type inference in languages that have bad IDE support leads to a bad experience, hence the author’s views on ocaml. But in a language like Kotlin it’s absolutely wonderful. If needed you can provide context, but otherwise the types are always there, you can view them easily if you’re using a decent IDE, and type inference makes the code much more readable in the long run. I would say that a majority of the time, you do not care about the types in any application. You care about the data flow, so having a type system that protects you from mismatched types is much more important that requiring types to be specified.

it does if the other ones have edible seeds, seeds without arsenic, or fewer seeds… your analogy makes no sense.

It’s also just a huge fallacy. He’s saying that people just choose to not write memory safe code, not that writing memory safe code in C/C++ is almost impossible. Just look at NASA’s manual for writing safe C++ code. It’s insanity. No one except them can write code that’s safe and they’ve stripped out half the language to do so. No matter how hard you try, you’re going to let memory bugs through with C/C++, while Rust and other memory safe languages have all but nullified a lot of that.

It doesn’t sound like you want a static site generator. You want a Squarespace alternative. One option I use is Ghost. You can host it yourself for free. But it’s not a static site. Static site means static. That means no backend, no forms, none of that. You won’t get a CMS, you won’t get drag and drop components. That’s not what static site generators do.

You ask them to add a license, you don’t suggest a license.

still, people are clearly confused by the button. I’m just gonna make it an animation and prefers-color-scheme since that’s so widely supported now.

I’ve wondered what this problem was for years but never cared to figure it out, because it always resolved after the first button press (just refresh the page and it all works properly). turns out it is something wrong with my use of local storage to save your theme state. if you don’t have the key in local storage then it does what you mentioned. I just need to switch this to prefers-color-scheme anyway.

that post is about toggle buttons, not switches. e.g. a play pause button, when pressed, does it show play, or does it show pause?

It shouldn’t be like that. on my computer it shows the sun when it’s in light mode, moon in dark mode.

Hm. what browser are you on? It is showing sun for me on light mode.

I’ve been saying this for years. My site only has a few lines of javascript. the rest is pure html and css, and it’s very simple. https://tylerthrailkill.com

Because no one ever uses those. Literally > and | are the only ones I’ve ever seen in over a decade and you will never need to worry about the differences between the two.

XML as a configuration language is terrible. Yaml gets the point across in an easily readable way, which is exactly the point. Same for JSON except JSON you can’t even use comments (you need json5 or one of the numerous other alternatives to get those).

For looks. The middle cable is needed to allow the sides to communicate, but you only need one side plugged into the computer.

It’s a crkbd also known as a corne, like the other person said. There’s hundreds of types of switches available, the keyboard in the picture has Khail Box Jades and Khail Box Royals.

The style of keyboard is a split ergomechanical keyboard. The size is 36% or 40% depending on what generation of keyboard nerd you are.

my keyboard looks like this… so… no?

and honestly it’s so much nicer to program with a small keyboard. everything is exactly where you need it to be. I don’t ever have to reach for a key, as they’re all right there. And I can make them do literally anything I want. So many benefits of a small keyboard over a full size.
