I hope that the language’s ints are at most 32 bits. For 8 bits it could even be written by hand & the source code for a 32 bit version would only take up avg_line_len * 4GiB space for the source code of the function. But it might take a bit of time to compile a version that supports the full range of 64 or 128 bit ints.

What’s disgusting about it? The only thing I can think of is the implicit return, which felt a bit icky at first.

Also, as the if expression is an expression, you can call methods on it like so:

if 1 > 2 {
    3
} else {
    4
}.min(5)

(the above is still an expression, so it could be used, for example, as part of a condition for another if)

Of course, you can write horrible code in any language, but the ability to use blocks where expressions are expected can be great sometimes.

Rust would allow you to

let ret = if some_condition {
    <a lot of expensive calculations>
    result_of_operations
} else {
    <a lot of other different expensive calculations>
    result_of_other_operations
};

Now you don’t have to declare it inside the blocks.

It’s way more common than you may realize. Intel & AMD (and other x86 CPU manufacturers of the time) did it before the first Crusoe CPU launched. (2000 according to Wikipedia)

CISC architectures are now seen as inefficient, so all the new ones are RISC and new CISC CPUs just translate the instructions to their intenal RISCier microarchitecture. The CPU’s microcode specifies what an instruction translates to.

CSS can actually do a lot. Many effects that are often done trough JS can also be done with CSS.

Don’t forget Self, the type of self.

Huh, really? Do you remember where you read this?

But many people don’t use any of those features. I get that many do, but every single smartphone with features I require has them.

Oh no, I think I might’ve missed my chance, then.

But seriously, I have abslutely no use for a “selfie camera” & feel uncomfortable with the whole concept of having a camera constantly facing you. At least with laptops it’s easier to put something in front. Even with a back-facing camera, its use is very limited & would prefer to be without one, let alone a handful.

What aboutvRFC 3339? It’s technically different.

camera phones

Why are all “modern” phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it’s on the phone’s backside.

Isn’t it more like death by a thousand stabs or something? Each one just seems a bit too deep to just call a “cut”.

I doubt that he can either german or read well enough. But he may have quite a few copies of a special picture book version there instead, like with 1984, the handmaid’s tale & animal farm.

Isn’t 300lb approximately equal to 1 stackoverflow user?

It seems like your personal views are a lot more right-wing than normal on lemmy.ml. While you may see yourself as a centrist or leftist, that is not the case for others.

You might feel more at home on a different instance, like lemmy.world. Not only would local posts & users be more aligned with your own politics, you could also avoid the stigma/stereotypes associated with this instance. Even if you move to another instance (Lemmy server), you’ll still be able to interact with most other instances, though some defederate from (block) some other instances.

with nuclear fusion electricity is practically free.

Like that’ll ever happen under capitalism.

That’s how I feel about cell phones.

Linux phones might be able to do something about that, assuming they become good enough soonish. Perhaps usable Hurd phones will become available first.

Also tired of terms at restaurants like “Gluten Aware”, “Gluten Conscious”, etc. Then you find out everything is still going in the same fryer

At least they’re aware of it.

citizens are workers that can’t be fired

I’d guess that they’re looking to change that in the USA.

Just one?
