Damn it, we lost him again. You win this time, Froggo, but one day you’ll pay for what you’ve done.

Sorry.

I don’t do this very often, but when you see Garfield sucking on John’s toes… how do you not?

Tbf people say this about a lot of things the Republicans do.

Those are two very fair points - I agree.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

For an API there should always be a version parameter/endpoint, imho.

Edit for further context: Ideally, a parameter.

Make more money that way.

The biggest reason for me is that it’s less data to send over a network. Especially when I’m working with lists of objects, including null fields can add a noticeable chunk to the payload.

There are some cases where it might be worth it to differentiate “No value” and “No attribute”, but in most cases they can be treated the same, since the data should really be validated against a schema anyway.

Yeah, I’m also confused. If an attribute is null, I would prefer to simply not serialize it.

I’m sure there are edge cases where someone might prefer to include null attributes, but generally they should be treated the same either way.

I say we ditch this nonsense altogether and go back to vague descriptions of the Sun’s position in the sky.

Ngl I love programming assembly, that game seems right up my alley.

Oh hey, I think I’m the guy from that post! Lol

Glad you’re enjoying it! I’ve been having a lot of fun with it too - even if my wife sometimes thinks I’m crazy when I “just quickly run over here” to check the hours for this place, haha.

My “Global Rank” is a bit over 5000, but I’m not sure if that’s the same number as you’re looking at, given the range. 400th in Canada, though!

Some folks on Lemmy recently recommended StreetComplete, and I’ve been really enjoying it so far.

It’s a “Pokémon Go” style thing, but you go around answering simple questions about your surroundings which are then used to update/improve the data on OpenStreetMap.

One concern I considered after using the app was that because your contributions are uploaded to OpenStreetMap, in theory I imagine someone could use that data to track where you are / where you’ve been / where you tend to be. So just be aware of that.

I feel like it has to do with the “mystical” or metaphorical perception of mirrors, especially early on.

Like, as if looking “into a mirror” is analogous to looking “into a (or rather: the) mirror world”, if that makes sense.

Kind of the same reason we use the preposition “in” or “into” rather than the more physically correct “at”.

I figure the sentence is perfectly understandable with or without it, but it’s a fun little extra for anyone that knows some Japanese. Besides, this is the internet, why keep ourselves bound to just one language, ね?

Hey, I resemble that remark.

…what?

What do you mean? Recall was never a savestate system or anything like that, ね? It just takes screenshots.

Man, reading this sentence felt like a little electric jolt to the brain as it pieced the memes together.
