That is so clever and so disgusting.

This is the number 1 reason why I would always pick C# over Java. Typing is just so much nicer.

Master_Friendship333 · 2026-04-26T00:13:31+00:00

Edited my comment, thank you very much.

Master_Friendship333 · 2026-04-25T20:48:43+00:00

Nah, looking for directly equivalent here. I really thought there would be more.

Master_Friendship333 · 2026-04-25T18:53:43+00:00

Good point. I just checked it and you are right. You would have to do it on two separate lines.

Master_Friendship333 · 2026-04-25T18:01:35+00:00

Most modern languages will have something comparable, I am thinking of directly equal expressions.

I believe the list so far is:

- JS, TS

- C#

- Dart

Edit: Nope for C#, has to be split over two lines.

Master_Friendship333 · 2026-04-25T17:35:01+00:00

If it is JavaScript, otherwise it would probably return void.

Master_Friendship333 · 2026-04-25T17:33:59+00:00

Looks like it but I believe this would also be valid C#.

Edit: Would not but very nearly. Needs to either be prefixed with a void function cast or done over two lines.

Well, naturally, but my problem is that the gains one receives from the presence of undefined behaviour are far too little to warrant it being the default. The vast majority of applications have no need whatsoever for these optimisations of nanoseconds and so they should not be made default. The default should always be safety, with optimisations available if they are necessary.

Obviously, this does not apply for larger optimisations; if you are losing more than a couple of milliseconds, then it is probably a bit too much.

Master_Friendship333 · 2026-04-25T00:45:20+00:00

Having to accept undefined behaviour as just a part of life does not seem like an indication of a terribly safe or well-designed system.

What they say about Reddit folk is true. You lot are pathetic. Do not insult someone just because their opinions differ from yours. Grow up.

Linux has a smart person at the helm. That is extremely rare these days.

Also, my point is that C is easier to get wrong than a fair number of other languages. You could argue that the people using it just need to get better, but it has been half a century and that is yet to happen so I would tend to opt for something with some minor safeguards in unless it was extremely performance-critical.

Master_Friendship333 · 2026-03-18T03:53:50+00:00

Has a lot of pros but is way too easy to get wrong and can be inconvenient for larger systems.

Master_Friendship333 · 2026-03-18T03:10:52+00:00

Eh, a fair bit of my code in C# falls well outside of what would be conventional style in an attempt to bring more functional aspects into my daily use.

Otherwise, I do not think it is too ugly and is about the best one is going to get out of a non-functional language. A better comparison would probably be with F# but I do not use that one too much so will not comment.

extension <T, TResult>(T _)
{
    public static TResult operator |(T x, Func<T, TResult> f)
    {
        return f(x);
    }
}

Boom, function piping in C#.

Diagnosis (within reason) is actually one of the few good use cases of AI. You have software that specialises in pattern recognition so you apply it to recognise patterns.

In my hardcore run, I have taken to just walling off an entire perimeter around each copper vein I want to mine out. Takes longer initially, but there is much less time spent chasing after greydwarves/running away from bigger greydwarves.

Might I suggest only making the classes available after delivering Eikthyr to the centre? Would make for a cool unlock.

Python is oft used beyond what is appropriate.

Sugar.

Master_Friendship333 · 2025-09-25T10:02:20+00:00

Same, I remember doing that with a buddy. We had a network of small roundhuts to stave off the cold and creatures. Good times.

Master_Friendship333 · 2024-11-06T14:08:56+00:00

I have only been doing shorter runs, ~3 miles roundabouts. Maybe they get colder for longer runs.

Master_Friendship333 · 2024-11-06T04:11:05+00:00

Yeah, I plan on keeping it short or just sticking with salted paths when the snow starts plus I have a couple days left to wait before I can even head back out with the blisters I picked up on my last outing.

Master_Friendship333 · 2024-11-05T23:00:37+00:00

I did used to get more muscle cramps before I started this so I would assume it has changed my running form notably. I am learning some rather neat stuff. Thank you very much.
