Monday morning rant goes to Google, whose web version Keep on first use suggested me "more comfortable reading by switching to dark theme"...
Listen, people, what's comfortable or not is something that is both personal and something just about everyone is quite good at determining by themselves, alright? Offer people to try, but don't ever tell people something will be more comfortable for them.
Once again on "just works" type of UI: it either works 100% of the time, or give me the f*ing error message!
It is so frustraiting to see things are not working and have no clue why. I can't even search online, nothing useful to search for. #programming#rant
So #Java is about to get main function without requiring a class.
That is nice, but justification about making language is more student friendly make me raise my eyebrows. If you want to make Java friendlier to newcomers, you should address the problem java.io being notoriously overcomplicated, IMO. After "Hello, World" next thing is to ask for user input and do something about it, and Java is the worst at it from what I've encountered. #programming
@aurisc4 yeah .. if 'main' is the only top level function you can write, i wonder why have a requirement of function at all !
just start typing, put a #! and run
@vrdhn@tearvisus@TimPurdum IMO it's best to expose noobs to as little new concepts at once as you can, the add them one at the time. Having IDE to generate you a bunch if stuff you have no clue about is not ideal. Ignoring most of the code you see is a skill, not everyone has it.
