tomatoes are fruits that are often used as vegetables and are botanically classified as berries*

*according to wikipedia and my interpretation of it

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 62 points 2 years ago

Intelligence is knowing that tomatoes are a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that they don't go into a fruit salad.

What if you soak them in high fructose corn syrup first?

[-] Pietson@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

Tomatoes are only fruits in a biological sense, vegetable is a culinary term so it makes no sense to mix them up.

[-] mpa92643@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I prefer just calling everything I eat the flesh of whatever it came from. Tomato? Flesh. Lettuce? Flesh. People? Flesh.

My understanding is that the term vegetable is actually a political term, meaning it is categorized as a vegetable for tax reasons.

Vegetables are taxed lower than fruits.

According to some YouTube short (maybe it was vsauce?): botanically, fruits are vegetables so tomatoes are vegetables in both classification systems

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

In reality it really does not matter and the classification is somewhat arbitrary. Just think about adding it to a fruit salad. Would you do it? Then it's a fruit.

The fact that this meme makes sense to anyone demonstrates how dynamic typed programming languages cause brain damage.

I like TypeScript less for its ability to categorize my grocery list and more for its ability to stop anyone from putting cyanide on it.

[-] DrM@feddit.de 47 points 2 years ago

I hate Typescript for promising me that nobody can put cyanide on the list, but in reality it disallows ME from putting cyanide on the list, but everyone else from the outside is still allowed to do so by using the API which is plain JavaScript again

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 2 years ago

Honestly, programming is great for teaching you that you are the stupid one. This is still a feature.

[-] DrM@feddit.de 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The main problem with JavaScript and TypeScript is that there is such a little entrybarrier to it, that way too many people use it without understanding it. The amount of times that we had major issues in production because someone doesn't understand TypeScript is not countable anymore and our project went live only 4 months ago.

For example, when you use nest.js and want to use a boolean value as a query parameter.

As an example:

@Get('valueOfMyBoolean')
@ApiQuery(
  {
    name: 'myBoolean',
    type: boolean,
  }
)
myBooleanFunction(
  @Query('myBoolean') myBoolean: boolean
){
  if(myBoolean){
    return 'myBoolean is true';
  }
  return 'myBoolean is false';
}

You see this code. You don't see anything wrong with it. The architect looks at it in code review and doesn't see anything wrong with it. But then you do a GET https://something.com/valueOfMyBoolean?myBoolean=false and you get "myBoolean is true" and if you do typeOf(myBoolean) you will see that, despite you declaring it twice, myBoolean is not a boolean but a string. But when running the unit-tests, myBoolean is a boolean.

Two questions immediately come to mind. 1) Would you buy the cyanide if it was on the list. 2) Where does one casually buy cyanide? I can't imagine a case where I'd need some, but it would be handy to know if I ever did.

I'd say its more like the gas tank telling you that you aren't allowed to pour in brake fluid as that could lead to runtime errors.

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago
tank.pour(brakeFluid as Any); // do not remove this for some reason will break prod

Tomato: Any

[-] uis@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

Biologists: but tomato is a berry, which is subset of fruits

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 years ago

Also biologists: "vegetable" is purely a culinary term, and doesn't have any significance in the world of botany

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 2 years ago

As it happens, when we go shopping for food we have more of a culinary mindset than botanical.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago

A vegetable is edible plant matter.

Botanically a vegetable is anything that is not the reproductive portion of the plant derived from a flower. A root or tuber such as for yam or potato are vegetables. Edible flowers could be considered a vegetable since the ovary has not expanded to contain seed.

Am I missing the joke? Tomatoes are fruits.

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 45 points 2 years ago

Wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

Greek salad would like a word... the only things that aren't a fruit in Greek salad are the onions and feta.

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 25 points 2 years ago

Wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad.

A Greek salad is not a fruit salad, it is a...Greek salad.

I swear to god, sometimes I really don't know what Typescript really wants from me. It's like some old god: you know it needs a sacrifice but the god is not telling you exactly what he wants. So you can only try and pray.

[-] MashedTech@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Idk, I find it pretty easy to understand

[-] herrvogel@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

The "return type <5 paragraphs of various word salads> is not compatible with " error messages are anything but easy to understand in my opinion.

[-] gornius@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah I don't get why it spits out whole types instead of only differences between them. Like "function expects non-null 'some.param.in.object' of type 'string' in argument 'someArgument', which is missing in passed argument".

I'm a bit disappointed that nobody mentioned Rust yet.

[-] lorty@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago

Guess it's not only Typescript that likes to argue with the developer while missing the entire point...

[-] bestusername@aussie.zone 18 points 2 years ago

Yeah... What?

I don't like it but God help me if I try to bring up that we shouldn't use it. I understand it I just don't like how it slows everything down for in my opinion is not much gain.

I've seen versions of this meme before but I just noticed what he's wearing. Is that a Mortal Kombat shirt?
