Ads are the main reason for all the junk though.

Aha asks for Ruby on rails experience in their job listings, so they must be using it as well

It makes sense from a pure UX perspective. But of course the real goal of GitHub is to make money, and their paying customers are mostly corporate entities using it for enterprise development. Unless those companies decide that a download button/better release feature is desirable, it’s not likely to happen.

Most corporations tie GitHub into their own build system so such a feature isn’t likely to be considered useful. They pay for GitHub to reduce development costs, which is why GitHub spends so much effort on analytics and the dev experience instead of open source/public users.

TDD is not appropriate for everything or everyone

Node isn’t a language though.

I don’t disagree, but I still think it says something about the writer of the song. Cheating on your wife is and was scummy behavior, and so is romanticizing it, just less so

Really annoys me how half the rock songs I like proudly announce what an absolute scumbag the author is

It’s over for beehaw already. Once they decided to ban everyone from the largest lemmy instance, it was over. They aren’t important to the fediverse, period, and never will be with their current leadership who have no idea what they actually want it to be, apart from their personal internet fiefdom.

The short amount of time I was there, it felt like a community built for the moderators and admins, not the users themselves. Frankly the fediverse is better off without them, so I hope they do leave.

Lol - in your other comment you suggested that web devs key off of screen rotation to resize the page, but now you’re saying the client shouldn’t know anything about the viewport at all? Which is it? And why would the rotation angle be useful if I don’t know the aspect ratio of the screen? Or are we now assuming that widescreen will be a thing forever? I thought your ingenius idea was to be able to handle any use case.

The thread OP has an axe to grind against web devs because he thinks they’ve ruined the Internet.

That’s called over-engineering for use cases that don’t and won’t exist. Please lecture us some more though.

People worked 12 hour shifts 6 days a week back then with no minimum wage. A lot of people lived in company towns and didn’t even get paid in real money. Child labor was legal and widespread, although some shit hole states are getting back to that.

Things are bad now but anyone who thinks it’s as bad as it was in the gilded age is either delusional or extremely ignorant. There’s a reason the progressive era happened, people were pushed beyond their limits and propaganda couldn’t make up for that anymore.

JSONC does support comments but it wouldn’t be interoperable with anything expecting pure JSON. But still useful for local configs.

Tooltips don’t help mobile users.

For JS shit I usually have to rewrite them because they aren’t production quality in terms of readability. Still really useful for getting answers on obscure stuff

Hey member the emperor. He’s back and you’re not sure why, and neither are we.

How many burning corpses are there in the Lion King? How many of Simba’s friends die on screen? Does anyone get tortured in the Lion King?

I feel like you need to go back and watch A New Hope again. It’s a lot darker than you seem to be remembering. And empire strikes back is straight up tragic, it isn’t even a little light hearted.

It’s basically a cleaner, more concise version of java. It’s a good choice to study if you want to learn something very different from JS but with some familiar syntax. These days you can also run C# anywhere, so it’s very useful for app development.

If you learn C# you’ll be able to learn java very quickly as well.
