Ha! You can't just say "fight me" and then disappear! What are your arguments?
Oh definitely. I've been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:
- Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
- There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
- The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
- Maybe I'm too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
- There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it's awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
- It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.
Don't worry, I couldn't get past LVL 4 either after lots of trying. It's pretty annoying to read that so many people got to level 7 in the Hacker News thread...:D
IIRC F# even has built-in support for units.
Oh thanks, this is an important thing to know!
Thank you! I will just keep posting every day then.
Thank you, these are excellent tips! Btw here is the community: https://programming.dev/c/auai (!auai@programming.dev) - I didn't want to mention it because I didn't want my post to sound like cheap self-promotion, but I guess I'm a bit too shy in this regard.
The icon and the cover image are terrible, I'm planning to replace them later.
Fair enough.
Some of the /r/ExperiencedDevs mods are running the programming.dev instance and most Star Trek-related subreddits moved to startrek.website, so it’s already happening.
Reposting on Reddit: 👎
Reposting to help Lemmy grow: 👌
Well that sucks… for Reddit management
I understand what you mean, and I even agree with it, but just to be a little pedantic, variable names are code, or at least they are more code than comments or docs.
But yes, encoding units into the type system is a much better solution. It doesn't work however for config options, environment variables or CLI switches.
