  This is Rust syntax, but there’s similar syntax in Haskell

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  List comprehension is another thing I don’t like about Python :)

  There’s more of those, but one thing I do like about Python is that I get paid for writing it, so I try not to complain too much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What I like about using if and else for that is that you’re already using those keywords for branching in other parts of the code.

  Though my least favorite is probably Python’s:

  x = "foo" if y > 5 else "bar"
  

  It just seems backwards to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  x = if y > 5 { "foo" } else { "bar" }
  

  This is just superior to anything else

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3141: Mantle Model⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m with you on that one. I don’t care what the scientists say, there’s no way quantum physics is random, we just don’t know where to look yet. And entanglement? Nah, you made this one up.

  Anyway, I didn’t get into a university, but I’m not bitter about it, no.

  Next week in EU: “We’re proposing a new bill, called ‘SpellControl’, for the safety of our people”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Behavioral Conditioning Methods to Stop my Boyfriend from Playing The Witcher 3"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Desperate times call for desperate measures

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ditto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t want my genitals cut off and eaten, don’t know about you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CLANKA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
  Spoilers I guess

  IIRC they were made to look like humans so that later human souls can take over those bodies, to avoid a total human extinction due to some virus. But the clothes? Uhhh idk ¯\(ツ)/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3137: Cursed Number⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A moment of silence for all those who sacrificed themselves in the name of science

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if "you are what you eat", and you only eat vegans, you're both vegan and not at the same time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If vegans eat only plants, that makes them plants, thus if you eat them you are still just vegan, because you as well eat only plants.

  Happy to help

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you fucking kidding me??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you obviously should have typed “E = mc2 + AI” smh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you know???.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they just imagined ~800 tits. Maybe even at once.

  The image in the post also uses watts where watt-hours might be more applicable, so we are already more in the realm of memes than science

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Macaroni and cheese⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Smh my head

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BECOME THE INTELLECTUAL BLADE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Faster, harder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BECOME THE INTELLECTUAL BLADE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Study time travel. Come back younger

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tweet Dreams⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s the morning, they just woke up and this is the first thought he has

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There, technically, hypothetically, could be a situation where such shirt is possible. But it would require a bug in the camera firmware, which would probably work on just one camera model. For example, a shirt with a pattern that tricks the camera into detecting more faces than it was designed to, causing a buffer overflow and a crash. Reasonable, although extremely unlikely

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I’ve noticed as well. They keep the old stuff around for as long as they can, because some software made 30years ago is critical to our society so they need to support it or we’re doomed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, they’re planning to create a new way to do it, not disable the old way.
  And I think that a decade for disabling the old way is optimistic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy cake day⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Birthdays are bad for your health. Studies show that risks of diseases and death rise with each birthday

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Water Snek⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You could imagine a coordinate system in which she took the shortest path, yet the projection in our system doesn’t look like a straight line

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is your brain on memes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All will eventually be revealed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Foreshadowing is a narrative device…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pure Shame⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mensa⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll consider this an IQ test and apply for Mensa

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oxygen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Be there or be square

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't Fool Me!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Saaameee!!
  Also sometimes in the dream I pee in a weird place. Like, someone tells me where the bathroom is and it’s just some room without toilets or anything so I just pee in the corner of that room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 365 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (One Year Anniversary!)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Congratulations!

  I never comment on your posts, but I always at least skim through any that I see. It’s nice to see what someone else has been up to.

  As a little feedback: I like the (relatively) short text version, I wouldn’t want to watch a stream or even a video. Text post is more chill and I can easily view it on my phone.

  So, thanks for sharing and good luck on the next year!
