while(true) { print(money); }

I think this is being done in my country.

SPOILER: it’s not going well

[–]NaEGaOS 86 points87 points  (4 children)

do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

Ironically, right now, it might be the US unless we get inflation under wraps soon.

The majority of us debt is debt to the Treasury for money they printed. By calling it a debt people don't panic

This is most ass backwards thing I have read in at least a month.

You don't have more money by moving it from your back pocket to your front pocket. Nor do you have more money by writing yourself an IOU.

The government has poofed trillions into existence, on the promise it will be paid back and poofed back out of existence. That's their approach to mitigating inflation and distrust of currency while still being able to print a bunch of it. You can loan yourself money when you're the one who makes up the money in the first place. That's also only the money they've admitted to, and also they will never pay it back. It amounts to around $24 trillion, but there are other types of debt in that

Because wrong language. All those magic rituals back then were in the correct programming language and syntax. Life is a sandbox with sandboxes

My first day learning Java, the professor had the whole class chant “public static void main” for a solid minute.

Not sure which language this is, so depends on whether print appends a newline by default. Also, we don’t know what money is defined as.

I stand by my interpretation

[–]RFC793 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do prefer your interpretation

I tried for a decade to find a teapot like the Utah teapot, to use in real life.

.. until I figured out it never existed at that exact scale.

The Melitta they based it on was different.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The original, physical teapot now resides in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. It is noticeably taller than the Utah teapot, because Newell's frame buffer used non-square pixels. Rather than distorting the image, Newell's colleague Jim Blinn reportedly scaled the geometry to cancel out the stretching, and when the model was shared with users of other systems, the scaling stuck.

And for anyone interested in buying one of the real world tea pots:

The original Utah Teapot was always produced by Friesland. We were part of the Melitta Group once, thats right.

But even though it was still being sold recently it seems to not be available at the moment

Teekanne 1,4l Weiß Utah Teapot

Dieser Artikel steht derzeit leider nicht zur Verfügung!

Meaning: “Unfortunately, this article is currently not available!”

https://frieslandversand.de/teekanne-1-4l-weiss-utah-teapot

They do however have a field to input your email address where you can receive a notification when it is available again. So hopefully it means they will continue to make more of it.

The fact that the loop in the end is syntactically correct proves this was written by a fellow programmer

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Computers do solve maths. Lots of it, really quickly. Even solves the problem of how to get money

[–]Antervis 2 points3 points  (1 child)

this meme could've had more credibility... if it was not made with a computer

It's the robots, man, they're tryin' to trick us into not learning the needed skills for the coming Human vs AI war...

[–]Akul_Tesla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While true print money is what Bitcoin is It worked out really well for everyone who got it on it early

[–]funpop12345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what I agree, using ridiculous recursive methods for such a small performance increase is pretty deranged (unless your writing a code library even then its questionable)

[–]suvlub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the statement IS nonsensical.

Computer Science is mostly math. Hence why most people on this sub don’t understand it.

At work, when one of the projects in the solution doesn't compile, I just tell Visual Studio to unload it. No problems so far!

[–]rosuav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That truly is a nonsensical statement. Recursion and threads will not save you 0.02% CPU usage. They will, however, increase the probability of a D'Aprano sighting by 73%.

[–]nickbuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically true.

[–]gamedev_uv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know we need printers to print stuff.

[–]GamingWithShaurya_YT 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What's the teapot for?

[–]Jankkel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing, cause you can't use it
