Huh, interesting. I didn’t expect to learn about volcanoes today but here I am! Thank you for the explanation
- Comment on checkmate, big geology!! 6 months ago:
Ohhh, I had no idea there were different kinds of volcanoes but it does make sense in hindsight.
Well, I guess this might have been covered in primary or secondary education at some point but it’s been about 3000 years since my last geography class

Definitely! I find that most problems in life can be solved with cement; if it didn’t solve your problem, you just didn’t use enough of it.

Well it collects data from you, and one use case for you data is allowing a nice 💰 exit for the venture capital -backed company building it.
Other than that, not a whole lot.

Because no way could I dislike modern PHP. Maybe you just have low standards when it comes to programming languages?

I’m not sure which thought is scarier: that you don’t know what you’re signing up for, or that you do know and you enjoy fixing undecidable formatting fuckups manually

That’s a good point about the synergies, something like eg. a type system that’s expressive enough to be Turing-complete is going to have some effects. You’re right that it might just feel like a “kitchen sink language” due to complexity of the features it has, but then again I suppose it’s sort of one and the same where a language’s complexity comes from.
But it’s no Swift, at least; now that language really does have everything and the kitchen sink.-

Semantic whitespace problems can easily be literally impossible to solve automatically. One of the dumbest fucking ideas anybody ever came up with in computing and its inventor if anyone belongs in YAML Hell. As a fuckup it’s not quite as bad as
null, but that ain’t exactly a high bar - Comment on Implementing Tic Tac Toe with 170mb of HTML - no JS or CSS 1 year ago:
The guy in the blog says mb (millibits)
a) does anybody actualy use that? How many people reading this thread can say they’ve actually seen that in real use or used it?
b) I’m fairly convinced you knew what was meant because it’s not like it’s uncommon to use a minuscule m for “mega” in colloquial usage
Weird performative pedantry or a joke that flew past my head? I give about a 0.5 probability for both

I mean, wouldn’t it essentially have to be storing every possible move for as many rounds as you want for the player to be able to play at most? And I’m not sure he can take advantage of the fact that you can end up in the same state from multiple other states, which would remove a lot of the redundant ones

There’s a special place in hell for the inventor of semantically significant whitespace

I think it’s the PHP, makes people doubt your soul’s status that you’d subject yourself willingly to it

“Sufficiently powerful” is a bit of an understatement when it comes to Scala. Honestly may have a bit too many features for my taste, it’s not a small language

I’ve been meaning to give F# a go but I never seem to get around to it. Seems like an interesting language

Can you point out to us who’s saying that they’re smart for being depressive?
- Comment on Twaining, you say? That just brings us full circle. 1 year ago:
Yeah the term “shrieking heebie jeebies” springs to mind.
Good point about the personality though, somehow the hyperlibertarian scammer thing they have going on makes them feel less threatening, although I guess that should probably make them even more horrifying?

… did they ever actually show the “CPU” of the ship’s computer? Maybe it was a bit squishier than we’ve assumed

This is hilarious, but… is it just me or is Rom’s face a bit of a nightmare fuel scenario? 😅

git gets easier once you get the basic idea that branches are homeomorphic endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space.

Yeah, if I woke up tied to train tracks and had someone explain that to me, I’d zone out and then panic because I had no idea what the fuck was going on
