  Which language provides the most random alphabetically sorted sequence?

  Data

  | Base | English | Dutch | German | Turkish |
  |------+---------+-------+--------+---------|
  |    1 |       8 |     8 |      8 |       6 |
  |    2 |      11 |     3 |      3 |       5 |
  |    3 |       5 |     1 |      1 |       1 |
  |    4 |       4 |    11 |     11 |       9 |
  |    5 |       9 |     9 |      5 |       4 |
  |    6 |       1 |    10 |      9 |       2 |
  |    7 |       7 |    12 |      6 |      10 |
  |    8 |       6 |     2 |      7 |      11 |
  |    9 |      10 |     4 |      4 |      12 |
  |   10 |       3 |     5 |     10 |       8 |
  |   11 |      12 |     6 |      2 |       3 |
  |   12 |       2 |     7 |     12 |       7 |

  It looks like the most random language is Dutch (closest to zero), and Turkish appears to be the least random (probably the 10,11,12 sequence skewed it)

    I don’t even know 100% that this is Dutch, but Dutch so often reads and sounds like someone German who doesn’t know English trying to speak English.

    • Vinny_93@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Dutch is an Anglo-Saxon language so that makes sense.

  I recently found out that javascript’s .sort() function, when called without arguments on an array of numbers, converts them all to strings and sorts them alphabetically 🤡

    I’m a C programmer. My first time writing Javascript and ran into some sort of bug involving a === sign or something. Javascript is a silly language.

      console.log("10"+1); // "101"
      console.log("10"-1); // 9

      Javascript lets you compare unlike types without extra steps using ==. If you want strict comparison where “2” isn’t 2, use === and !==. Personally, I find that easier than having to parseint or cast every damn thing. That said, I have build tools set up to enforce strict comparison because I don’t trust myself or others.

      Truish and falsish and nullish are all concepts made up by madmen. JavaScript is the language of the damned.

  Okay, here’s the challenge: Make it always tell the correct time 8:30 should point to the 8 with the little hand and the 6 with the big hand. And 8:35 shoudl point to the 7 with the big hand.

      I could get it done with a couple stepper motors, an Arduino, probably a couple hall effect sensors.

  Sure but the clock doesn’t tell time any differently—now it’s just displaying wrong, instead.
