“No, I don’t use type annotations because they don’t actually do anything. In fact I purposefully give this parameter different types for different behaviors. How is that confusing?”

This is getting a little better nowadays.

> cat Hello.java
void main() {
    System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
> java --enable-preview Hello.java
Hello, World!

Things to notice:

1. No compilation step.
2. No class declaration.
3. Main method is not public static
4. No String[] args.

This still uses preview features though. However, like you demonstrated already, compilation is no longer a required step for simplistic programs like this.

You may find JML interesting. https://www.openjml.org/

Java is amazing and I love it, and I agree that this is not really a good list of problems. (Not that I expect green texts to be well thought out, rational, real, fair, or anything other than hyperbolic rants lol.) There are good reasons to critique it and the ways people use it, but this isn’t it.

Particularly funny is the one about race conditions. That’s something you’d have to deal with in any sort of multi threaded environment.

This one is probably out of date now with smart TVs and few people using cable, but one of those jumbo TV remotes for people with poor eyesight/motor difficulties.

It’s like email! You know email?

I could’ve sworn Proton used e2e encryption (with other proton users I suppose) and that was part of why it didn’t integrate well with third party tools. But yes, even if it is, the majority of people/services that you email aren’t e2e encrypted so it’s very important to remember.

It doesn’t ruin the analogy at all because you’d still need to plant apple trees to make an orchard! It’s just that apples aren’t true to seed so apple trees you plant give nasty apples. It’s more of a fun fact about apples lol.

I’m on Lemmy essentially 99% of the time. When I’m on Reddit it’s because of niche hobbies that have more presence there. It’s very rare. (Or search index results.)

I never use Mastodon. I was only on Twitter for very niche and interactive hobbies that do not have enough people to engage with on Mastodon. I mostly use BlueSky now but still use Twitter on occasion. It’s like 50/50 at the moment, but that’s a lot considering my BlueSky account is only like two weeks old.

Lemmy has enough content to keep me entertained for general browsing and most of my hobbies.

I’m pretty sure you get warnings trying to delete system32.

Edit: And I mean beyond the standard UAC pop-up.

It’s bullshit because every location prints their own price tags lol.

How is that “weird”? That’s just good numeracy.

I think I’ve heard a couple people do this. One directly in response to me saying it was $5 lol.

Don’t even get me started on planking.

As if people stopped saying cis het would somehow reduce bigotry.

In the example you give in the OP, it’s relying on the guess that it would be unlikely that Kamala wins and Tesla goes up OR that Kamala loses and Tesla goes down. Those were still possible outcomes though.

Me reading this like “Noooo, if you plant Awesome Amy Apples you won’t get Awesome Amy Apples, you have to graft Awesome Amy Apples branches onto existing apple trees to get Awesome Amy Apples!”

Options trading is very much more like gambling than traditional buying/selling stocks.

If you’re cleaning it then you’re good. Tbh I don’t really know what long beard hair care entails. I think the advice is moreso targeted at folks that don’t care for the scraggly bits.
