const

They don’t do it well, but an attempt was made.

To be fair, that’s an issue in almost every imperative language and even some functional languages. Rust, C, and C++ are the only imperative languages I know of that make a serious effort to restrict mutability.

My brother in Christ, the average person doesn’t even know Lemmy exists.

People don’t know about the weird chunk sizes representing inequality.

They do know about Chocolonely being marketed as a more ethical product.

It’s not representing anything will if people don’t know about it. And I think most people who shall out the extra money for a brand like Chocolonely are doing it because they’re already aware of what a clusterfuck the chocolate industry is.

A drone made up to look like some kind of weird flying animal.

Where I come from you don’t get to choose your team.

Wait until you hear about rent.

Strange, I’ve never found a use for a lightning cable.

Why are we looking for new technologies?

Why are we writing new software? There’s plenty already.

Ok, but have they fixed the UI scaling on high-DPI displays?

The midichlorian is the powerhouse of the Force.

Like coriander vs cilantro. Actually that’s the only example I know.

Ironic because poppy seeds have very little flavor and coca literally numbs your tongue.

And being a nightmare to figure out what code is whereas they all communicate independently.

So much this. Especially in a larger company it can be basically impossible to find the code that implements an endpoint, and of course even if you can find it you can’t trace it in a debugger.

Why are you still using Windows? Switch to Linux!

For an application? Never. I’d still use it for something very small like a build script where the hassle of separate compile and run stages makes the whole thing a hassle to use. That might change now, though, since I think Node has gained the ability to execute Typescript directly.

Typescript and JavaScript are different languages and the distinction is important, especially because the two are used in conjunction with each other.
