If your primary exposure to programming is only typescript or JavaScript maybe you shouldn’t be jumping straight into something like rust. JS is a high level language and rust is aimed at the lower levels where things can’t be as automatic. There are many languages out there like C#, Kotlin and Swift that will help you get used to the idea of strong types and immutability.
Such a polarizing book. I like it but I tell everyone that I recommend it to, to not go to the depths that the book recommends. Never go full Clean Code.
The reflog is your friend in situations like that.
I think there might be something to do that in Foundation. You would have to cast to an NSString to access it though. I might be mistaken and there’s only a title case method. Sentence case is easy minus the not converting proper names to lower case problem.
I would argue that Biden can say and do plenty of crazy things as long as he never goes full Trump.
That’s really a lame dividend. I have no idea why the stock would shoot up 15% to $160 on the news that shareholders will receive $0.20 per share. Even with the buyback program it won’t be that big of a boost. The better asset allocation would’ve been to keep innovating but I guess they’re out of ideas?
It was originally meant as a better JavaScript and it was. It failed when none of the other browsers expressed interest in supporting it. It languished for a while and then was taken up by the Flutter team. At the time Flutter took it up it was somewhere around the level of Java 8 in features but not quite on par. Since then it’s seen some massive improvements to the type system and language. It’s completely null sound, not just null safe like Kotlin. It recently got records/tuples and one of the more capable pattern matching syntaxes I’ve ever seen in a functional imperative hybrid language. The next stable version of dart will introduce a compiler macro system that is very promising. The syntax isn’t always the prettiest due to it trying to not totally break old code. I do think that it offers a wide range of modern language features that competes heavily with Swift and Kotlin in the mobile space.
The only things JSON has over xml is that it’s easier to write a parser for it and the format is less verbose and less complicated. There are extensions to JSON that can add features that xml has and the JSON spec doesn’t have. Overall the xml spec is bigger and has more features but that also makes it overkill for many of the cases that it would be used in.
Claims top 5 and offers zero evidence and very little content beyond what an LLM might write.
Because ChatGPT thought that was a pro?
He’s not going to jail yet. Those are other criminal cases.

I think the responder means that duplicate code is usually easy to refactor into single methods. Typically I see copy pasted code that is changed just a little bit. However much of a duplicated function can be broken into smaller functions and the redundant code removed in favor of calling into the functions. Often what is left then becomes easier to reason about and refactor accordingly. I love the PRs that I make which delete more code than I add but still manage to add functionality. It doesn’t happen often but it’s fun when it does.
