The original, Blue Raspberry.
I loved my course on patterns. It was tough, but I now regularly feel like I can apply mastery of this tricky subject to my software projects. The course used a variety of techniques:
- Read the seminal Design Patterns book by Gamma et al., for an overview of the concepts.
- Every week, we'd incorporate three patterns into a preexisting XML processor project. My final one had like 25 patterns, which was challenging to keep working amidst refactoring. (You don't have to do them cumulatively, but I enjoyed it.)
- We'd have to ask pattern-specific questions of our classmates in forum threads; and occasionally we'd be assigned to answer some.
- We each wrote up our own pattern. (I designed one based on my experiences handling data exchange between web apps and clients.)
Together, this taught us
- How the patterns could concretely look in practice.
- Pros, cons, and other considerations for each.
- Similaraties, differences, and nuances. (We'd joke that everything was the Template pattern if you squinted.)
- The impact of modifications to the patterns.
- How to recognize, create, hone, collaborate on, and share patterns.
I appreciate this approach because patterns are an inherently fuzzy subject.
A cluster duck, if you will.
May have to do with images loading and causing cards' height to suddenly change and push down the content beneath it.

I cried watching Measure of a Man. It's a gift to humanity. But Ad Astra Per Aspera clearly overtakes it imo. It doesn't ask just about the implications of the law, but about what it - and society, and its constituents - should aspire to be. It's less about military codes and an individual's selfishness (Maddox), telling a more universally applicable story still firmly entrenched in Trek lore.
They will now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational fediverse!
I feel like I've seen more original memes in the past two days on Lemmy than in the past two years on r/prequelmemes.
Love this idea. I definitely treat most content lists as an inbox; if I've interacted with it, archive it somewhere unobtrusive in case I need to refer to it later.
I'm just waiting for my data export request to come through, then gonna hit the shred button.
