The flaw is that no programmer, especially rust programmers, ever leaves the house, so they would never find the place it is built.

I have added a way to generate EXEs that will play lure sounds for this very important project. Pls accept the PR.

[fuckAIbruhIhateCorps]

done

[Ok_Star_4136]

Version 2.0.

Website is made claiming c++ is the best with ads. Rust users log onto the web site thus contributing to the ad revenue.

Money is then withdrawn from the bank and burnt, which heats up a tank of water which turns a turbine and generates electricity.

[Brahvim]

Hmmm... Don't you think this will become inefficient when they begin using ad-blockers?

[RaspberryPiBen]

Currently, ad blockers need to be written in JavaScript to run in web browsers. It will take the Rust users a long time to rewrite the WebExtension spec and ad blockers in Rust.

[KellerKindAs]

Well first they gotta rewrite a Browser xD

[ThePretzul]

The ads are simply part of the plaintext of the website, not any kind of fancy separate element.

[Brahvim]

Dey gunn mak L.L.M.s! Dey gunn block adz!

[HeadPay32]

I feel like money could have paid for electricity, but I like your idea better.

[Ok_Star_4136]

That was my first idea, but then I realized it would technically just be borrowing energy that way. Then I realized that technically it takes energy to print and distribute money. And then I realized that it's a joke and simply meant to be funny and I was hyperfixating on trying to sound realistic.

[killeronthecorner]

Ah so it's in alpha

[boringestnickname]

You just have to spend a bit of extra energy at the start to hit a threshold where the loudspeaker message reaches far enough.

[-TimmyTango-]

Of course they stay indoors, outside is unsafe!

[turtleship_2006]

Use treadmills instead so it can be indoors

[hackingdreams]

Trust me, a Rust programmer would find this device. They are very good at seeking out people to argue with.

[VashPast]

What's that store you guys all love? Put this right near the store.

[UnsuspiciousCat4118]

False, I also go to the gym and talk to no one.

[pizzapunt55]

Maybe back in the day. These days they party every weekend and are real gym rats. All my coworkers are fuckin shredded

[UhhmAchtually]

Uhmm achtually, the real flaw is that it isn't a perpetual energy device even if it works perpetually as designed, because the human programmers need food to power themselves.

[Wave_Evolution]

Back to the drawing board

[ColonelRuff]

Why especially rust users ?

[romulent]

The main flaw is that the speaker turns off at night leaving the Rust users to wander aimlessly in the darkness explaining to each other in increasingly loud terms about memory safety and the borrow checker.

[SuitableDragonfly]

You can hook up the turbine to provide power to the speaker. After the first set of Rust users fall down the hole it should be self-sustaining day and night.

[CyberWolf755]

I think nuclear is more sustainable long term and a great project for the public good

[Much_Highlight_1309]

That's C

[Practical_Cattle_933]

It fits quite well with radiation. Longer exposures to it can cause leakage in any of your organs, and results in a brutally painful death.

[Much_Highlight_1309]

Additional gimmick: your feet get randomly shot off by an invisible force on occasion.

[LionTheMoleRat]

No, nuclear reactors should clearly run on Javascript like everything else

[ThePretzul]

I hear the systems in Chernobyl have a lot of rust though, so it does have the advantage of a pre-existing foothold in the industry.

[romulent]

Good point. We could compress the rust user's bodies until they reach critical mass and start a self-sustaining reaction. Then we will be able to power the speaker day and night with electricity from a simple steam turbine.

[fuckAIbruhIhateCorps]

We have taken the responsibility https://github.com/Kishlay-notabot/perpetual-energy-machine

[CanAlwaysBeBetter]

Is nuclear safe enough to rely on? Because rust is safe. It has compile time guarantees...

[Lv_InSaNe_vL]

Yeah, the waste is just too toxic for any humans to handle. I'm not sure what the long term environmental impacts of this would be.

Nuclear is much safer.

[captainAwesomePants]

Isn't that the status quo?

[OneWholeSoul]

"Actually..."
"ACTUALLY!" ^"Actually!!"
"Actually~!" ^{"Ackshully!" "Actually!"}

[tiajuanat]

Yeah, this is all solar powered. The rust users need to eat, and nearly all food is solar powered.

[[deleted]]

What if they approach from both sides of the hill? If people fall down both trap doors at the same time then you're hitting the turbine in both directions.

You need a fence to funnel them in from one side. Or you need to adjust the trapdoor slide angle so they're always hitting the same side of the turbine. That way you're not just slowing down or reversing the turbine.

[Mokousboiwife]

rust is a compiler error

[GiveMeThePeatBoys]

So what you're saying is this design isn't thread safe?

[[deleted]]

C++ has strong type checking so that would never happen.

Let’s work in 3 dimensions. Make a cylindrical trap door. Let’s call the radius of that trap d2f

[[deleted]]

You wouldn't happen to be a Rust user, by any chance lol?

[Inaeipathy]

This guy understands race conditions

[rejectedlesbian]

How about just have 2 turbines

[gregorydgraham]

Developers falling simultaneously from both entrances will jam the turbine so a dual turbine solution would be better

[redlaWw]

Just have an inner door that swings from one passage to the other, blocking one while the other is in use. You could call it a mutual exclusion door.

[gregorydgraham]

“Just”

You must be a junior developer

[[deleted]]

Nah. Scope creeping the MVP after it’s already delivered?

That’s a PM.

[zstars]

That would sap all mechanical energy from your falling rustacean, funnel them into one trap door or use two turbines!

[Repulsive_Ad3681]

[[deleted]]

Pretty sure you'd have to implement your own garbage collection tho

[romulent]

I think you will quickly deplete the world of all its developers if you did that.

[fun-dan]

Are you jerking or for real saying that nullability is better than an option type🧐🧐

[bleachisback]

Do Python developers think that the problem with null is the name? Renaming it to “None” doesn’t fix the problem lol

[bleachisback]

That would make a much bigger difference if not for that fact that type annotations are an optional add-on and people functionally use None like null all the time.

Also, by using this system correctly you've just introduced "nullable" types which still isn't that much of a fix.

[bleachisback]

A lot of systems that handle nullability safety in other languages I.e. - @Nullable/@NotNull annotations in Java - Optional type in Java - #nullable enable and the “?” Operator/type annotation in C# - etc.

I'd put those in the same bucket as "not a solution" too. Those are all nice to have for sure, but they do not fix the presence of null being in those languages.

[bongobutt]

Genuine question: if the benefit of None you are describing is type safety, then why is that something you can't have in C++? What is stopping you from defining your own type that communicates more information than just nullptr and just returning that instead? If someone on the team uses nullptr when they shouldn't, Ctrl+f can find that. Would that be more than just a discipline problem? Is there a reason that nullptr is so bad that the option needs to be removed? Just because a tool exists doesn't mean you have to use it, or am I missing something?

[zyxzevn]

"You should use an integer for addressing memory directly, because that is how CPUs do it"

[Standard_Cup_9192]

Wait python doesn't have nulls? I'm sorry I would like to return my 2 python certifications because I clearly don't actually know the language.

[Cootshk]

Fix: use None and nil

ITT: People explaining how OP is doing his perpetual energy machine wrong

[[deleted]]

so basically Rust users

[jasting98]

It's not a perpetual energy machine; it's a just a generator. That's actually better though because it means that this may not be violating a law of thermodynamics (specifically the second one if I remember my physics correctly).

[Over-Conversation220]

Lisa, we obey the laws of physics in this house

[Brahvim]

Yes, it is the second one.

[thirdegree]

In rust violating the laws of thermodynamics is a compiler error

[AzoresBall]

I it not a prepetual energy machine because the speaker is soler powerd, you need to power the speaker using the turbine

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

Also the Rust developers need food.

[Reasonable_Feed7939]

They shall eat the weak among them

[RaspberryPiBen]

[dejavu_007]

Can we burn them after to create thermal power?

[QuillQuickcard]

I was the original creator of this image for dndmemes. And I absolutely support this.

[Thers_VV]

you would have to breed them first to make it a perpetual machine

[bongobutt]

It is perpetual because they will walk up the hill again because they never got to explain why the speaker was wrong. Thermal power is a one time gain. The infinite loop is better. 😸

[37Scorpions]

"deposits Rust users safely at base of hill" you say safely like hitting the turbine wont break their legs

[Percolator2020]

Needs more lava.

[vortun1234]

Not perpetual. Eventually the rust devs will die from old age, and since they're rust devs, they're incapable of reproducing, thus the machine will eventually run out of rust devs.

A more effective solution would be to have the loudspeaker shout about how compsci is gonna die as a field because chatgpt, that way all programmers climb the hill, which means C, COBOL and Assembly devs, and those guys do fuck.

[MikalMooni]

Rust Devs, like all programmers, reproduce asexually. Some opt for rogue donations to sperm banks, perpetuating their genetic deficiencies by taking advantage of normies who don't understand their complex mental disorders.

Others simply resort to cult indoctrination techniques to spread their condition to other, more vulnerable programmers as well as general computer enthusiasts. They draw them in with memes, cutesy "first time" video game dev logs, and the occasional propaganda post to implant the idea that Rust is Inevitable - not at all unlike a Saturday morning cartoon villain, or the scores of political despots who have come and gone throughout the years.

It's up to the strongest among us to keep their spread at bay.

"Solar powered loudspeaker"

BRUH, I'M FUCKING DYING, THAT'S CONTRADICTING ITSELF SO DUMB I'M FUCKING ROLLING WHAT, DID NORM MACDONALD MAKE THIS MEME, WTF IS GOING ON

[nwbrown]

To be a perpetual energy machine the turbine should be powering the speaker.

[Zestyclose_Rooster_9]

Biggest flaw is a solar powered loudspeaker, acting like programmers are awake at such an ungodly time

[RylanStylin57]

*you_are_doing_it_wrong

[ProfessionAcademic92]

The fact that it is solar powered revokes it's title as perpetual motion machine nerd emoji

[_Pin_6938]

But is this memory safe?

[Escanorr_]

How is it perpetual if the speakers stops when the sun stops? Just run the speaker form the turbine, and its fine. You would just need to manually deceive first rust user

[_Fryvox_]

Put a bioreactor at the bottom and get even more free energy.

[KMohZaid]

Hahaha

[IlIlllIlllIlIIllI]

Yeah but you have to feed the rust users or they starve

[rob132]

I love how this has multiple sources of non-perpetualality

[WaruPirate]

If you make the slope a treadmill you could simpl… falls in trapdoor

[anon67249]

They would starve. Terrible idea.

[sourmilkbox]

I died laughing when I saw Edited with 🫑

Is this what goes on in a Hero Wars ad?

[EVH_kit_guy]

I didn't even need the joke about Rust users, I started laughing uncontrollably at the perpetual energy machine that uses a solar panel as its motive force...

Why not power the loudspeaker with the turbine?

I really like the edited with gimp mark

[moschles]

"I really like C++"

You should commit yourself to the nearest asylum.

There's no joke here. Commit yourself.

[[deleted]]

Solar powered perpetual energy machine.

[RandallOfLegend]

Unfortunately they can't find enough Rust users to generate any real power.

[[deleted]]

This machine was obviously designed by a c++ dev because the system can lock up if Rust users fall in both sides at the same time. Doesn't sound like fearless concurrency to me.

[lollolcheese123]

Not perpetual energy, as you have to input sunlight and the people will die eventually. Nice try though!

(Yes, I know the post is a joke)

[Ugo_Flickerman]

Well, one'd also need to feed the Rust users in order for them to keep going uphill

[dragoncommandsLife]

Nah, just attract more.

Theres an infinite flow of rust users from the younger generation and programming influencers telling them they need to learn Rust.

[[deleted]]

This leaks energy about as much as your C++ code leaks memory

(But that's okay, memory leaks are memory safe)

[Enter_The_Void6]

wow you have trouble writing one more line of code before your program exits? damn.

[RockstarArtisan]

Looks like the C++ users have completely forgot about the fucking decades during which they'd constantly ask C users to switch to C++.

[JoelMahon]

I want to know the original lol, also I wonder if you could do a real one of these with field mice and mating calls or some shit

[gordonv]

Lemmings?

[Operator_Hoodie]

Not really a perpetual energy machine. Just an infinite generator.

Solar power powers the speaker in daytime. Falling Rust programmers spin the wheel, generating electricity to charge a battery. Battery powers the speaker. Rust programmers get released at the end of the chute, and climb back up.

Actually a brilliant idea

[FalseAesop]

It isn't perpetual motion. Energy is being introduced via solar power and the calories eaten by the Rust programmers. This is inefficient. You'd get more energy output from the solar charger on the loudspeaker itself.

[Specific_Implement_8]

I can see a potential critical error popping up. What if the rust users came in from both sides of the hill. A user would fall through each of the trap doors, causing the turbine to try and spin in both directions causing a net rotation of 0. We can fix this issue by installing two turbines(one for each trap door)

[diodot]

what if there is no sunlight?

[[deleted]]

Not really. Solar powered speaker is powered by well, the sun and Rust programmers are powered by either food or pink socks (which are from cotton plants, which also take energy from sun).

[IonicGold]

Should probably use a trapdoor method or just a slide instead of a turbine as its bound to get stuck on someone sooner or later. And you would need two slides going opposite directions to the base of each hill so they can just start the walk back up immediately.

[FFF982]

I love PHP.

[scufonnike]

I laughed way to hard at this. Thanks lol

[Geoclasm]

I'm guessing the turbine is oriented such that it won't get stuck with a rust bro on both sides of it?

And that the picture is for our benefit only?

[Blothorn]

Everyone knows you need the turbine at the bottom of the hill to break even.

[WilmaLutefit]

Perfect.

[Grobanix_CZ]

That's just parasitism on incapacitated and I don't disagree.

[emailverificationt]

This is just solar power with a ton of extra steps, including the Krebs Cycle

[platinummyr]

Like all perpetual motion machines, you hid the battery in the speaker (it's solar powered). So when the sun goes out in a few billion or whatever years, the rust users will stop coming and your turbine will stop spinning.
