Here is some information from Reddit’s documentation. AND, OR, and NOT all work, and you can search for some specific fields as well.

Right, knowing when to apply the principles is the thing that comes with experience.

If you’ve literally never seen the benefits of abstraction doing OOP for thirty years, I’m not sure what to tell you. Maybe you’ve just been implementing boilerplate on short-term projects.

I’ve definitely seen lots of benefits from some of the SOLID principles over the same time period, but I was using what I needed when I needed it, not implementing enterprise boilerplate blindly.

I admit this is harder with Java because the “EE” comes with it but no one is forcing you to make sure your DataAccessObject inherits from a class that follows a defined interface.

I can relate to this.

I liked the dark continuity of horror movies, how characters and themes carried forward in various series, but my favorite that I kept going back to was Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors.

The kids fight back, and though they get defeated quickly, they do temporarily defeat Freddy. The idea that they could fight back was fascinating and helpful as a kid.

Thank you very much for the information! This was really helpful.

I’ve looked at Boox devices before so it’s good to see that people are using and enjoying them.

It’s absolutely fantastic for reading books, but it’s only gotten better for my favorite use-case, which is comics and manga. The ability to do color adds so much.

Do you have a preferred device? I’m really curious but it’s hard to know where to start with colored screens.

This article states

It is important to note that many of these symptoms may arise from a midlife crisis or as the results of a long-term unhealthy lifestyle (smoking, excess drinking, overeating, lack of exercise) and may be best addressed by lifestyle changes, therapy, or antidepressants.

Literally smeared washable paint on a display case. Thank god for those for-profit prisons, right? Someone will make money.

I actually think it looks really cool in the thumbnail, the red adds a lot.

Whoever is prosecuting this is a fucking moron trying to prove a point.

Oh I could tell that community was dumb from so many of the posts having the subject “BREAKING”

I learned about Elian script last week and appreciated how different the characters can become written out!

There’s a self-hosted bookmark manager named linkding, and that’s how I found out “ding” means “thing” in German.

She wasn’t burned alive, she was hanged and her body burned.

The court of Parliament ordered that Claudine would “be hanged on the gallows in the great square of Rognon, together with the dog, and that the corpses of both should then be cast into the fire with their ashes spread to the wind so that no possible trace might be left of their misdeeds, so that mankind might not be reminded of their monstrous misdeeds.”

I thought that was interesting because I didn’t know hanging and then burning in the square was a thing.

Does he not realize he is the “Unc”? Cedric, you’re fifty. Most of your fans in 2003 loved Monster.

Get out of here with calling it “Unc rock,” you too are an Unc.

When did Deloused in the Comatorium come out? Oh yeah, 22 years ago.

Oh! He had kids when he was almost 40, so I bet he doesn’t realize how lame he is yet. No wonder he deleted the original post.

When I wrote Real-World Maintainable Software, I highlighted the fact that Dr. Winston W. Royce introduced the world to the concept of Waterfall Project Development with a stark warning: the implementation described is risky and invites failure

Did the world heed this warning? No, we went full on Waterfall for decades, suffering failed project after failed project, never wondering if anything had to be changed.

This is a breathtakingly naive point of view from the author of a book with such a lofty title.

The idea that everyone went “full waterfall” is hilariously misinformed. And that it was “failed project after failed project” until waterfall went away is comical too. Where did all that software come from if every project failed? All software engineers did nothing for decades and still got work??

I thought “oh, maybe I should take this guy seriously because he wrote a book with a title like that…?” Nah. It’s not that kind of book. It’s a glorified list in pamphlet form for junior developers who don’t know to buy something else.

I know hubris is one of the qualities of a good programmer but he seems to have skipped the details of that one.

Are they testing the waters with this, hoping they can re-release more in the future? Like record distributors that exclusively re-release cheap old music to make a dollar.

“How much money can we make by just re-releasing crap people kinda liked?”

Wedding Crashers is a cheap one that wouldn’t be overwhelmingly embarrassing if the experiment failed.

Seriously!! Absolutely bizarre.

I remember when they brought Star Wars back in the 1990s and it was a huge deal.

Now they will bring pretty much anything back. Yeesh.

Hear me out: that’s what I mean!

They are some of the silliest movies ever, but they cared so much how he became the character he became throughout the sequels.

So it’s funny that between 1 and 2 they’re just like “jeez I don’t know, grew monstrous somehow and no one saw him?”

The first one is the only time there’s any kind of continuity weirdness. I would argue the continuity is what makes the series as a whole fun to watch. From sequel to sequel they’ll keep the dents and cuts in his mask, they take some continuity strangely seriously.

Even when it gets downright stupid, like he gets tied underwater after part 7(?), they take it seriously how he gets out in part 8. The ghost killer guy. It’s amazing.

Yes, as I said they very clearly talk about how they changed the character completely between 1 and 2 in the book of interviews about the movies.

Having a ghost child mysteriously grow up after being stuck in a lake and having his mom go on a murder spree was a retcon specifically for a sequel, yeah. They retroactively changed Jason’s continuity for the sequels.

When was the last time you saw these movies? If it was recently we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

I agree with a lot of these, but Friday the 13th was clearly retconned between 1 and 2 and should be replaced with Nightmare on Elm Street.

Throughout Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy is still Freddy and the details they change weren’t forced to make a decent sequel.

Friday the 13th was obviously retconned between 1 and 2. Spoilers for Friday the 13th parts 1 and 2 below.

As I fume, I wonder why I’m so angry. I suppose I feel offended that anyone would think this is what humans want from companionship: a voice with no interiority giving the verbal equivalent of a thumbs up emoji.

Strangely, a lot of fully-grown people think this is what humans want from companionship!

I think it’s essentially a classic silly Far Side.

Tantor was the name of Tarzan’s elephant friend in the Edgar Rice Burroughs books, and apparently one of the ways Tarzan traveled around.

This comic is bringing it into the more modern age with ridiculous results.

I found a thread from 2002 asking the same question, and this is my favorite answer:

Its really quite simple. Tarzan was riding his elephant on I-90, it caught fire, so he pulled over and the elephant continued to burn until nothing much was left. It can happen to any motorist.

For the record, I started searching because I didn’t get it either. Now it’s actually pretty funny!
