    I knew there was a reason I didn’t like Lisp.

      I know you’re memeing, but if I know my Lisp, just wrapping something in triple parens implies evaluating it three times. So you have an expression evaluating to a producer that produces another producer that finally produces a value?

      I’m sure there’s a legit use case for it. I just can’t think of one.

  No ``` Markdown quotation marks ```

  No „down-up quotation marks“

  And worst of all, no marks for the 「regular attack」, 『finishing move』and

  I don’t get the “Someone British is talking” bit

  We only use the singular ’ to indicate speech within speech -

  John said, “I was just speaking to Charlie, and he said ‘It’s not often XKCD gets things wrong’, and I agreed”.

  I could be wrong but that’s what I was taught

    The use of quotation marks, also called inverted commas, is very slightly complicated by the fact that there are two types: single quotes (` ') and double quotes (" "). As a general rule, British usage has in the past usually preferred single quotes for ordinary use, but double quotes are now increasingly common; American usage has always preferred double quotes.

    • Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      British English often uses single quotation marks to identify the outermost text of a primary quotation versus double quotation marks for inner, nested quotations.

      From wiki

      Huh, just shows you how I was taught the British way many years ago, but adopted the American way due to reading so many bloody books!

    Pull out your closest volume of Lord of the Rings and take a look. My copy at least has single-quotes for the speech text and double-quotes are used for nested speech. I guess it might be up to the publisher (eg: my copy of Harry Potter has been “Americanized” and thus uses double-quotes for the first level of speech text), but every copy of LotR i’ve run across uses single-quotes.

  The python function is some sort of brainfuck?

  source

  • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s a list with a tuple, with a list with an empty dictionary. I’m not sure the innermost parenthesis is legal there.

    source

    • GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      This sounds like something I would do with all of 40 hours or so of Python-esque programming under my belt. I feel like there has to be a better way, but it worked. I’m worried this might be the best way.
