  GOTO

    GOTO is the only thing that makes sense. It’s the “high-level” concepts like for-loops, functions and list comprehension that ruined programming.

    series.append(series[k-1]+series[k-2]) for k in range(2,5)]

      I started coding with TurboBasic, which included the helpful innovation of GOTO {label} instead of GOTO {line number}, which allowed you to have marginally-better-looking code like:

      GOTO bob
      …
      bob:
      {do some useless shit}
      return

      which meant you essentially had actual, normal methods and you didn’t have to put line numbers in front of everything. The problem was that labels (like variables) could be as long as you wanted them to be, but the compiler only looked at the first two letters. Great fun debugging that sort of nonsense.

  Masters and slaves Cloning Deploying code (that’s what you do with soldiers!!!1) Using Git to rewrite history.

  These people are madmen.

    One of the slave node’s child process failed, so the master node sent a signal to terminate the child and restart the slave

    There’s pretty solid reason my research group is pushing to use “head node and executor nodes” nomenclature rather than the old-school “master node and slave nodes” nomenclature, haha

  The only reason I enjoy C++ is because I can cast destroy on children and it’s parents if they’re present in the world

  Floating point operations with decimals not always adding up

  source

  • xmunk@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    They always must add up - if they added down then they wouldn’t be floating points now would they!
