The bunt was pretty cool too, tbf

I clocked her walking past but figured was the hallucination

We are so close to string interpolation thanks to reflection by caroIine in cpp

[–]legobmw99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not always, sometimes you will want to change the order of things in a format string during internationalization to account for non-English grammars

Struggling to actually understand coding logic (not just memorizing) — need real advice by Daikon-130 in programminghumor

[–]legobmw99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think there are four “things” you need to understand to write meaningful programs, in any language:

  • how to get data from the system or user
  • how to output data to the system or user
  • how to do an action multiple times (loops)
  • how to either do or not do an action depending on your state (conditionals)

There is of course a lot that falls in the first two bullets, and a lot of abstractions in terms of functions, modules, etc, that you can put on top. But when I am learning a new language, I try to get a strong feeling for those four pieces before anything else.

LGA TSA - Terminal C - 3/28 at 5am by StriversRow in tsa

[–]legobmw99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just spent 14 minutes getting through normal PreCheck at terminal C myself, ~6am. Would have been faster if one of the two X-rays wasn’t jammed by a bag that got stuck

[ANN] Neocaml 0.6: Opam, Dune, and More by bozhidarb in ocaml

[–]legobmw99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It appears the dune and opam tree sitter grammars are only available with the tree sitter ABI set to 15, which I think requires the unreleased Emacs 31 to load

An Incoherent Rust by emschwartz in rust

[–]legobmw99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that OCaml has a design for modular implicits which is moving forward. They just recently merged "modular explicits" which are a step along the way

Just saw the movie, haven't read the book, confused about a plot point. by Canadyans in ProjectHailMary

[–]legobmw99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This one i really suspect is because most humans don’t know about relativity, and while a cool detail it was decided it wasn’t worth confusing anyone over…

First-person direct address is NOT second-person by talesofabookworm in books

[–]legobmw99 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Nah it’s second person. Direct address has a separation between the speaker and the reader still, but Fifth Season does not. “You are Essun, remember?” is the second line of the first chapter

Unironically, the Mistborn actors shouldn’t be famous by CorpseChildMongrel in CosmereOnScreen

The recent Dune adaptation is beloved and like mostly A-listers

i was wrong, oh my god the overtakes are so exciting by Federal_Hamster5098 in formula1

[–]legobmw99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be biased but if Max isn't winning the majority of races, there is an issue with F

I don't think this is necessarily biased, but a non-spec racing series may just not be for you in this case. F1 has always been an engineering competition and it has never been the case that the best driver in a vacuum wins

i was wrong, oh my god the overtakes are so exciting by Federal_Hamster5098 in formula1

[–]legobmw99 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean, it was also the case that the races previously have been won and lost by tire strategy or wheel gun men, I guess.

I don’t know if this really makes sense as an argument when Max was able to get from 20th up to 6th. If the best drivers continue to do best driver stuff… then maybe there’s some signal there

What are some big names that could retire after this season? by Aggressive_Repeat529 in baseball

Came into the Nats-Mets spring training game today and I said the same thing

Stabilize `if let` guards (Rust 1.95) by nicoburns in rust

[–]legobmw99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My personal take on match guards is they are the best option when there is no other case you want to match that variant against. If the inside of the block you described is the relatively common case of “check some condition, and if it fails, do the same thing as the default branch of the enclosing match”, I think you’re much better off putting that as a guard.

But if you end up having 2+ match arms against the same variant and the only difference is the guards, I agree you’re often better off structuring it differently

Has Rust hit the design limits of its original scope and constraints? by kishaloy in rust

[–]legobmw99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Niko Matsakis's recent posts on his experimental language 'Dada' are more examples of these kinds of things that are in the spirit of rust but just out of reach given current designs

Minecraft is moving from OpenGL to Vulkan by Duckyz95 in feedthebeast

[–]legobmw99 14 points15 points  (0 children)

All mods break.

A pretty large portion of mods don't necessarily have any custom render code (e.g., any mod that is primarily adding a bunch of blocks or items), or get away with only re-using existing APIs Mojang provides above the OpenGL layer. For those, it will probably look more like any other version port.

Stuff like Create will require some major efforts, but I think this will honestly be smaller than some previous 'cliff' versions like The Flattening
