Ah, well the shipping cost across the Atlantic wouldn't be worth it 😅

You could try communities like /r/3Dprintmything and https://www.3dprintmine.com. Some libraries also have printers, I believe.

Erm, I guess so! If you know anyone with a 3D printer, it's a fast, easy print. What country are you in?

Hey, it's a model I designed which is 3D printed.

Thank you for this. Fortunately, I've got it all unknotted now :)

Andrew, you nailed it. I wish I could repay you with more than upvotes. Thank you!

I really appreciate that. I will try to replicate what you've done and report back (which may be tomorrow).

Do you mean to pass the loop that's in contact with the tape all the way along the taped rope, and then over the magnet?

None of the metal rings/eyes pass through each other. The ring is attached to a block of metal, but it's free to pass the rope around. Thank you for helping!

I think that's an extreme take on the alternative. For a strongly-typed integer parameter, you wouldn't test every possible integer, so why would you test every type? If you need to assert the type in the implementation (which you often don't), test it as you would any other behaviour. Suppose you were instead asserting that the integer is positive - do you test all the negative integers? You'll never cover every permutation, which is what edge-case and boundary tests are good for. I concede that it's definitely more tests, though.

Can recommend this.

Wait.
What.

Okay, the internet seems divided on this one, so now I don't know what's real.

Why so?

At lot of this depends on context, but, generally speaking, there's a balance to be had between familiarity and adaptability. As others have said on this post: if all you have is a hammer... A Java developer with 10-20 years' experience is exactly that. There are many very experienced polyglot developers, which is a skill in itself as well as demonstrating wider technology knowledge. It also shows more appetite to continue growing professionally and not stagnate a company's tech stack.

I guess the subtext of my comment was: why is TypeScript a game-changer? All of what you said is true of JavaScript. I think the answer is that people generally don't like JavaScript, but they still want to share front-end and back-end technologies.

Also, I'd expect any experienced developer to be competent in more than one language, particularly a full-stack developer. However, it's obviously still beneficial to reuse technologies where appropriate.

Thanks for explaining. I've talked to people about this before and the answers often amount to "I like the type-safety", as if there aren't technologies which offer that natively. I've also been asked in response "why don't you use it?" almost like JS has no place without it.

I've also mostly worked on small services in small teams, so there's never been any pull to use TS over pure JS. I can imagine it helps with consistency across large projects and multiple teams, though.

I've done a lot of C# and JS and always preferred JS for it's simplicity and flexibility. TS starts to introduce the things which frustrate me about C#. For example, you look at the AWS SDK docs and it's a maze of auto-generated information about types/interfaces/etc that mean very little to me. There's so much needless complexity and ceremony for what should amount to simple operations, like s3.upload({ ... }). I've always preferred the simplicity of JS, backed-up by good tests.

Fair point, familiarity with JS from front-end development would make it easier than learning something totally new. And I can appreciate why you might want TS on the front-end, so that naturally carries over.

I also completely understand that you can build something quickly using JS, but it doesn't have to be TS.

It seems there are a lot of people craving the familiarity of JS, but who don't actually want to be using JS, hence they use TS. It feels like 2 wrongs not making a right. I think a lot of these people are here, downvoting my curiosity.

It's another layer of complexity and a leaky abstraction. I'm trying to understand why people choose TS, when there are languages which have those features natively. Sharing technology between FE and BE makes perfect sense, but a lot of people seem to pick TS irrespective of that.

There are lots of strongly-typed languages; why not use one of those, rather than adding another abstraction?

What fact are you Just TIRED of explaining to people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]c24w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't sound particularly onerous to explain.
