such is life in the UK

what about haskell

Treat OR NO Trick

he’s really good at tucking his ears

that would be bad, yes. but you could also make the argument that the guy in charge of things would be much less likely to initiate a war if he knew there was a chance he could get turned into beefaroni in a foxhole.

i think it’s mainly people being cranky and set in their ways. they got used to working around all the footguns/bad design decisions of the C/C++ specifications and really don’t want to feel like it was all for nothing. they’re comfortable with C/C++, and rust is new and uncomfortable. i think for some people, being a C/C++ developer is also a big part of their identity, and it might be uncomfortable to let that go.

i also think there’s a historical precedent for this kind of thing: when a new way of doing things emerges, many of the people who grew up doing it the old way get upset about it and refuse to accept that the new way might be an improvement.

what a beautiful language

it’s floor 5 from monday to wednesday, and floor 2 from thursday to sunday

god i hope so

i wonder why people haven’t made a language that starts indexing at 2 yet. maybe some day

i wish the people making buildings around here knew that. some start at floor 3, others at 5. some start at 0. others at 2. every building has its own story. you need to understand the building before you can understand your position in it.

do you also have minced tables there?

he’s in a better place now

whoa i had no idea the death star was so tiny

how do they put the carts back

it also bothers me when people say “my algorithm” to refer to the thing that recommends posts to them. people shouldn’t ever say “my algorithm” unless they personally own a copy of the kick-ass prog-metal band

this seems like the only proper way to do anything in C++. it’s a language where there’s 5 ways to do 1 thing and 1 way to do 5 things.

and then they had the audacity to put that picture on the cover of the textbooks

a couple always means two.

every time anyone says “a couple”, i ask them if they mean two. it’s not pleasant exchange for either of us, but it must be done

maybe it’s using the british pronunciation of “strawbry”
