TypeScript doesn’t need the “function” keyword for a method in an object or on a class though.

const foo = {
  bar(): string {
   ... 
  } 
}

which I assume is doable because the syntax is unambiguous.

In PHP’s case, the method syntax should also be unambiguous.

The first programming language I used was Visual Basic (both VBA in Excel, and VB3 then VB6). I think it used redim to resize arrays.

PHP’s object orientation is similar to languages like Java and C#, which is what I was comparing to.

It enforces scalar types (string, int, etc) at runtime if you enable strict mode. There’s also static analysis tools like PHPStan and Psalm that will flag issues at build time.

Can we talk about PHP functions with typehints too?

public static function foo(): string {

Practically every other language with similar syntax does this instead:

public static string foo() {

Older variants used DIM for arrays and LET for other variables. DIM was originally called that because it was setting the dimensions of the array.

In modern BASIC variants, DIM has become a backronym: “declare in memory”.

They’re developers rather than managers, but many are senior or staff level.

I know plenty of people in big tech that don’t like this AI stuff either.

The original use case was as an antidepressant (for humans). Its usage for dogs and for treating insomnia are both use cases that came later on.

Good advice.

I also tried just the CPAP without the Trazodone for a while, to see how much it would help by itself. I generally don’t like using medication unless it’s absolutely needed (I’m not anti-science or anything! I just think medications are overprescribed and sometimes there’s other, scientifically-proven, alternatives to taking pills for every ailment)

Yeah it’s definitely not for everyone, but it works wonders for me. I sleep better (fall asleep quicker + stay asleep longer) and feel more awake in the mornings than I used to.

Trazodone was originally a medication for depression, but other antidepressants are more effective these days, and now it’s mostly prescribed off-label as a treatment for insomnia. It doesn’t work well for everyone, but it works great for me. I don’t encounter any side effects, and I can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

If you can’t sleep well then it’s worth getting a sleep study done. I did one and was diagnosed with both sleep apnea and insomnia. I was prescribed a CPAP machine for the sleep apnea and Trazodone 100mg for the insomnia and it’s helped a lot. I sleep so much better now.

Edit: Trazodone isn’t the best solution for everyone, and can have potential side-effects, but it works very well for me. My point is that you should get a professional diagnosis from a medical facility that specializes in sleep.

I didn’t realise it’s only visible to server admins. I run my own server, and it seems like server admins can view the votes on any comment, not just for comments or posts on their server. Interesting design choice.

What I haven’t checked is if non-admins can load the vote data, and it’s just the button in the UI that’s hidden.

Although since Lemmy votes are public, it does take some restraint to not message people that downvote your comments/posts and ask them why.

Yeah I don’t think the multi-select listboxes have really changed much since the days of Internet Explorer 3 and Netscape Navigator. Out of all the standard form components you can use in HTML, it’s probably the one most in need of improvements.

I’ve used software where you have to ctrl click but I’m not sure I’ve ever come across another website where this is the case

This is the standard behaviour on the web for lists where you can select multiple options. See the example here for instance: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/select#advanced_select_with_multiple_features

Most sites have a custom version though, since the built-in HTML element has such a poor user experience. I really wish browsers would just switch it to be a list with checkboxes.

The behaviour was based on Windows desktop apps in the 90s (where this behaviour was way more common), but after a while, most things switched to checkbox lists instead.
