Also useful for everyone anyway

#penisland is very different to #PenIsland

what about one word hashtags? are they safe with my lowercase habits?

matcauthon.com•103 days ago

Yes they should be

izzmizz.bsky.social•103 days ago

TIL that this is actually a good thing?
Thank you. I shall change my ADHD ways, hopefully.

What about Pedro Pascal case?

bugbobphoto.bsky.social•101 days ago

🏆

matcauthon.com•103 days ago

as long as it appears as PedroPascal then it's a best case scenario

sinpyro.bsky.social•103 days ago

Best case scenario. I see what you did there.

carriehein.bsky.social•105 days ago

I had JUST posted and used Pascal case. But I still had that rush of adrenaline thinking I had messed up. 😂

Sorry, but that's ActuallyJavaCase. :)

matcauthon.com•105 days ago

Isn't Java Case more like camel, where the first is lower? Like javaCase?

encyclopaedia-wot.bsky.social•105 days ago

It's ClassName but variableName.

matcauthon.com•105 days ago

okay, so we're sticking with Pascal Case then lol. clarity is key here for the sake of people remembering to do the right this as far as accessibility

jeymien.bsky.social•104 days ago

Which settings font is that? There's just system and theme.

matcauthon.com•104 days ago

It's not a font, Pascal case is a way of writing words without spaces, and each word starts with a capital letter

This is generally confused with "Camel case", which is similar, but with Camel case the first word doesn't have its first letter capitalized. ThisIsPascalCase and thisIsCamelCase

jeymien.bsky.social•103 days ago

Ah! I understand now, especially after googling - very useful in coding as I found googling.

tinybagel.bsky.social•104 days ago

Thank you for posting on this. I confidently told husband to use camel case and now I can clarify. #TheMoreYouKnow 🌈

Thank you. You have taught an old man a new fact

grippingyarn.bsky.social•102 days ago

Thanks for the education.

hazygreyland.bsky.social•104 days ago

Done! 😎

Camel case!

matcauthon.com•101 days ago

not the same. Look it up. Camel case works too tho

zwol.in•102 days ago

I was called CamelCase for a long time, what’s the reason for the new name?

matcauthon.com•101 days ago

CamelCase is actually camelCase. It is slightly different from PascalCase in that the first letter of camelCase is lowercase, where with Pascal it is uppercase.

We use camel extensively in programming for variables. Not sure why the need for the two. But for accessibility seems like a good choice

zwol.in•99 days ago

found explanation that camel case was just faster to type and enough (for programming). I’m curious if we really need to differentiate them for accessibility? The easiest solution is always better than more complicated because will be more common
