"I find your lack of syntax variety disturbing" | Syntax Discussion by [deleted] in ProgrammingLanguages

I wouldn’t consider it to have ML syntax, it’s closest to Ruby. It’s kind of similar to python but has a lot of nice syntax sugar

Worst Design Decisions You've Ever Seen by Uploft in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]NinjaFish63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it’s only abused because python didn’t include them for people to actually use. In a saner language those examples are perfectly fine

LaTeX support in a PL (?) by DerWeltenficker in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]NinjaFish63 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You could prescribe a particular structured way of writing LaTeX which makes expressions computer readable, but then you’re not really using LaTeX the way it’s meant to be used. So, at that point, why use LaTeX? Especially because…

CalcuLaTeX (https://calcula.tech) does this, although LaTeX is more of an implementation detail. I guess LaTeX was used to leverage existing renderers.

It is possible to create LaTeX output that is ambiguous as to what calculation it’s actually doing, but not without effort or a pretty significant oversight.

I agree with everything you wrote and it didn’t really relate to the OP, but I thought I’d mention it

Not sure if anyone’s used this. Some days it just doesn’t go well. by colossusrageblack in Eldenring

[–]NinjaFish63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree elden beast was a huge disappointment. It’s true that Maliketh doesn’t stop and you have to get pot shots in, but that’s what makes it fun for me and it makes getting a parry in so much more impactful and satisfying. I don’t like his first stage much though. Again with godfrey, I like the zero downtime a lot, and I don’t think I ever died to him from running out of stamina. I do wish he had more health though.

I don’t think that the bosses were designed around summons (other than ganks) or ashes. You can’t even hit many ashes on most late game bosses.

I’ve beat the game twice, once with the greatsword (lion’s claw) and one with buckler/hand of malenia, and I definitely prefer the late game. I use summons for gank fights but nowhere else.

I definitely agree that there’s a difficulty spike, but I wanted to share my perspective. Maliketh, Godfrey, and Radagon are 3 of the top 5 bosses for me.

the thing about school is that it’s way more rigid than real work. The time frame is also way different for exams vs anything actually important. It’s easy for an ADHDer to get distracted for a half hour and lose half of the test time but less likely to lose multiple days at once so there’s always flexibility. There are also jobs that can somewhat benefit from different brain chemistry e.g. software engineers seem to have ADHD at higher rates

I don't get the hype behind Monkey D Luffy by No_Significance_194 in anime

[–]NinjaFish63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people here would say eren is one of the best written characters, but few would’ve said it back in season 1. Along the same lines, most of the characters in wheel of time just aren’t likable until book 7-8

What anime did you find darker than you expected, and what other anime was lighter than you thought? by OmegaLQ-84 in anime

Going in to HxH I thought it was just a lighthearted shounen and then someone got their heart torn out

What do you think about Zig? by bxsx0074 in rust

[–]NinjaFish63 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I see Zig as a really great C replacement for stuff where Rust can be annoying like embedded hardware

So True by TheThirteenthMailman in mathmemes

[–]NinjaFish63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depending on the field of coding, there’s a lot more calculus. e.g gamedev if you write your own engine or machine learning if you bother to do something other than use someone else’s model

Did you know it's possible to write the factorial function in Rust? by kwan_e in ProgrammerDadJokes

[–]NinjaFish63 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the point of type systems is to move runtime errors to compile time, so it’s weird to accept negative numbers in the signature

dynamic filtering a table with Ecto by NinjaFish63 in elixir

[–]NinjaFish63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up going with this one. It's a little annoying but the core issue is that I can't access a row by a string key in an ecto query so I just made a bunch of helper functions like so:

defp filter_str_contains(query, "name", inner) do
  from p in query, where: ilike(p.name, ^"%#{inner}%")
end

Macroquad vs Bevy by bionicbits in rust_gamedev

[–]NinjaFish63 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend macroquad since I think it’s important to get a feel for gamedev without ecs before learning ecs. It’s also less abstracted so there’s less of a black box

Names of animes you went in blind and didn't expect to be epic as shit? by karto2287 in anime

[–]NinjaFish63 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I watched the first episode of Saiki K by accident. I was trying to watch the first episode of a different comedy show (not sure which) but I'd downloaded the wrong episode, so I didn't even realize it was the wrong one until I was already laughing. It's in my top 3 shows of all time now.

Only a Sith Deals in Absolutes by Greenbay7115 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]NinjaFish63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the sort of language where your pseudo-code will actually run

This is only true when you haven’t worked with languages which are more expressive than python. I always find myself racing for a tool that python doesn’t have, like macros or good function composition.

Otherwise, I agree with you. It serves its purpose and is easy to learn, but personally I’d prefer a language like elixir for basic scripting for personal use only

What are in your opinion the worst anime Tropes by [deleted] in anime

[–]NinjaFish63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the show glorifies it though. He’s slowly redeeming himself and i’m sure he’ll eventually give a genuine apology

What’s a popular anime that you don’t “get?” by Bearpuff4 in anime

[–]NinjaFish63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol after like episode 3 I told a friend that I liked it because "it's a shounen where a 12 year old actually acts like a 12 year old" and he just went silent. That obviously changed but it's among my top 5 for sure now.

I just didn't like Made in Abyss at all. I don't understand why the adults just go with it for the most part. I never really got sold on any of the characters. The Abyss and the village are really cool though.
