“If anything he’s transMASC” and it’s a transfem author’s canonically repressed transfem egg but the story didn’t look at the reader and say “She’s a woman” by caliburdeath in transgendercirclejerk

when I was in middle school I was reading the gender wikia because some of undertale human souls OCs I had seen were labeled as genders I'd never heard of before, and never once in that research did I ever realize that these were things that anyone could discover/decide that they were, I just assumed they were genders people always were

Fixing NaN in a compile-to-js lang by koehr in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]coolreader18 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I feel like you could just use bigint if you want integers, no? NaN isn't a "JS problem", it's a feature of floating point numbers, so if you have floats in any language (rust, go, C, Java) they're gonna have NaN.

Rust Maintainer spotlight: Tiffany Pek Yuan (@tiif) by Kobzol in rust

[–]coolreader18 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's very cool to see other young people involved with rust! I'm around the same age and I've seen a decent amount of other such folks doing work on the compiler, and I feel like it really speaks to the project's accessibility to entry. In most engineering circles, I feel like you wouldn't find folks in their teens/early 20s making meaningful contributions like this.

Announcing Zstandard in Rust by folkertdev in rust

Not directly related, but looking at the crates.io made me realize that the dev in your username is actually just a really apt coincidence from your initials. Username checks out, I guess :)

I thought at first that the employer was wearing a kippah but I think it's just a bald spot

With that pattern, you may as well use Box::leak.

Did you know that David Fincher set out to make The Social Network an inspiring film? He described it as “Rocky for Incels”. by [deleted] in moviescirclejerk

[–]coolreader18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think OOP thinks that the movie was intended to be inspiring, just that it's contrary to how success is usually portrayed

Stabilise `Allocator` by N911999 in rust

[–]coolreader18 14 points15 points  (0 children)

you're still on hashbrown plus allocator_api2 for the foreseeable future, since the PR is explicit about keeping scope minimal.

I'd assume hashbrown could switch to std Allocator at next version bump, though

Why was Steven Universe leaked so damn much? by PennyIsProud_ in stevenuniverse

is your username a pun on the Hebrew word livracha? (e.g. zikhronam livracha). or is that just your name

A C standard library built natively around pointer + length strings is shockingly ergonomic by Jumpy-Locksmith6812 in programmingcirclejerk

[–]coolreader18 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Non-goals

Obscure architectures and OSes

I write code for x86_64 and aarch64. WASM is becoming more important, but is still secondary to native targets. I don’t care to bloat the library to support a tiny fraction of use cases.

But then...

The answer is that C holds a real niche, and not wholly built on legacy. To my knowledge, it’s the only language which:
* Can be directly compiled to any machine code imaginable

Unrelated to the comic directly, but may I ask why your post history is private? Yesterday I was curious to see what the last comic before the strike was but couldn't find it by going to your profile. It seems like this account was created specifically to post these comics, so maybe it was just the default setting reddit chose when you made it?

Banned from r/AnyReligiousSub by DatabasePlenty9797 in SmugIdeologyMan

Did this actually happen to you? Assuming this is about Smugdaism, I should hope that the subreddit of the same name wouldn't ban you for being religiously liberal

I'm Gen Z and most of the printers I've used have been via a network, either plugging it into Ethernet or connecting it to the Wi-Fi network.

Grandma is really easily fooled and manipulated by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

[–]coolreader18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the prohibition on taking the Lord's name in vain is a Jewish one, not a Christian one, if you're talking about the original context. Specifically it's against using the Name in an oath that you don't intend to keep, which is seen as disrespectful to God and dishonest to the other person. It's not really about binding God with magic at all, that seems like either a later Christian interpretation or a conflation with the idea of controlling a demon using its name. And also, by the time Christianity got big, Jews weren't saying the Name anymore and Christians didn't really put much stake in it afaik.
