I love the camel case vs pascal case debate. Some argue if the first letter is capitalized, it’s pascal case. Others argue that they’re interchangeable. Others argue that the full/formal name “upper camel case” be used when the first letter is capitalized.

In my opinion, camel case is a colloquialism for pascal case, being more familiar to most folks.

More on this ambiguity and why simply saying “camel case” is most likely understood to mirror pascal case:

@BeAware yeah, I keep seeing little things lately that make me unhappy with them. It's really too bad.

I wonder if they thought seas of people would flock to their instance. If that was the plan, I can see an exec pulling the plug. They only have 270 accounts. But with 29k followers, they're throwing away a huge audience. One that really should be their people.

Anyway, this is disappointing to hear.

Hey, Oregon neighbors. If you’re giving NW Natural extra money every month for sustainable energy, you're paying for lies. @ProPublica has exposed their deception. So much for the "less we can" campaign.

Some wisdom from a Japanese gamer. As a designer I thought about it in the context of UX. But, really, it can be applied to most any challenge in life.

Saw this game at the retro game store. Yeah. That price tag is no joke. $1k for an NES game.

Bonk’s Adventure? I had to look it up.

“I just think goodness is more interesting. Evil is constant. You can think of different ways to murder people, but you can do that at age five. But you have to be an adult to consciously, deliberately be good, and that’s complicated.”

—Toni Morrison

@jacklaridian I’ll spend my energy how I like, thanks. If this is of no interest to you, you’re welcome to ignore the poll and move on with your day.

@jacklaridian perhaps this is because you’re he/him. Same as me.

I believe we have a responsibility to consider the experiences of people of other identities. I would call that empathy, not overthought.

Aside from that, there are indeed related variables. For example, women get “cat called.” And there’s also the related vagina slang.

I’m not saying this is an issue. I’m asking the question as a man who wants to be respectful with my language.

30,000 union workers for Samsung in Korea are on strike. That’s 24% of its workforce.

They planned on striking for 3 days, but when negotiations were refused the workers said their strike would be indefinite.

Power to the people. ✊🏻💪🏻🔥

The Universe is really taking me for a ride, but I’m in good spirits. I’m whining a lot, though. 😂

NTV Japan hosts a show called “Masquerade.” It’s basically an open mic, but for video. People create performances, make their own props, and everything.

This clip is from a Masquerade skit called “Surprising Karate Dojo.”

Now, that’s a warning. They don’t mess around with these underwater caves.

@aral I will never forget a pivotal moment during my visit to Auschwitz. I asked about these large pools of water I noticed. They were water supplies for firefighters, installed to comply with their insurance policy. They literally had a general insurance policy that was required to “operate a business.” That’s how normalized the genocide was.

Fun fact: Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” was actually written by his not-yet-wife June Carter and Merle Kilgore. It was first recorded and released in 1962, by June’s sister, Anita. Johnny’s version was released in 1963.

Johnny’s then-wife, Vivian, maintains that he “wrote that song, while pilled up and drunk, about a certain private female body part.”

Anita’s original:

I’m looking for a partner to build a Mastodon app for iOS. I have the UI/UX mostly completed and need a developer.

I’ve heard so many complaints about the available apps. My 25 years design experience and recent research on Mastodon put us in a great place for success.

I’d love to hear from you if you’re an iOS developer. I’d also love boosts if y’all don’t mind. Let’s make a meaningful app, putting the people first.

Whistleblower from Microsoft talks about his discovery of a vulnerability that went ignored. Had his warnings been heeded, the SolarWinds attack may have been prevented.

As usual, excellent journalism from @ProPublica.

This is the Seikilos Epitaph, the oldest known complete piece of music. It includes complete lyrics and musical notation.

Composer David Asher Brown recorded his interpretation of the piece. It’s haunting and mesmerizing.

The lyrics (a poem) are translated as:

while you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and Time demands his due
