people talk about certain stories “sticking with [them]” or “fucking [them] up” or other things like that. but they almost say it in a positive way, or kinda joking? so maybe some people have a much milder form of my experience with storytelling but they enjoy it
@catgirl_so interesting! it might be right. honestly I get such a culture shock from just how austere the C family of languages are. I feel like at least 70% of the niceties that I take for granted in JS, Lua, and Python are probably just not there in any of those languages
so I would not be surprised at all if C++ and even C# had no concept of closures
which reminds me of that meme “look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power”
PSA: O&O ShutUp 10 turns Windows 11 into a straight upgrade from Windows 10. all of the enshittification, spyware, adware, etc. is removed to the point that you can’t even tell it would be there. I have to hear about Windows 11’s AI slop secondhand because I don’t even see it
@kasdeya I have some related art in my exciting new energy drink: aldi-brand gamer fuel in cold instant coffee because the kitchen is a dangerous place for me before caffeine happens
@multioculate that is absolutely horrifying - I love it
the unwashed JavaScript prole: () => doAThing()
the enlightened Gang of Four:
skimming through the patterns in Design Patterns, you can really tell that this book was written in 1994 by four overpaid men who probably thought Java was the coolest shit ever
“hm how can we encapsulate a function to be called? use a closure? use partial function application? nono we need to create like at least 50 lines of OOP boilerplate with templates and multiple classes and all kinds of bullshit“
“I want my machine to store kinetic energy in the form of momentum so I’ll cut off a piece of my machine and put it somewhere else”

some of y’all on here: *casually doing PhD math for fun*
me: is square root a type of logarithm?
I just had an amazing new drink idea! basically you brew green tea and then add instant coffee crystals to make grofftea
it’s probably good idk haven’t tried it
I guess this was more of an intrusive thought than a drink idea
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is free on Epic Games!
I don’t know too much about this one but the vibe I get is that if you like the Castlevania games then you’ll probably like this a lot too
The purpose of this segment is to convince people that we are sending people to torture/death camps. We really should be CWing any links telling people to watch it. And frankly, if you already know, save yourself. This is for sharing with your relatives or others who need it: this is the coverage they need. You don't.
@eclairwolf I kinda love that lol - I feel like that’d be way more fun for me to watch, personally, than three platforms and a floating island
then again Smash isn’t really my series in the first place
World of Warcraft is my favorite singleplayer automation game
@LunaDragofelis woahh interesting. so essentially there would be multiple parsers that can handle different styles of syntax and turn them all into the same S-expression data-structures at the end?
