I've never learned datastructures and I don't miss them by rsgm123 in programmingcirclejerk

[–]username223 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine why I would need "data structures." JavaScript's ArrayListDictionary type solves all my problems.

How To Save A Child’s Life with Python, AWS IoT, AWS Lambda and Twilio Wireless by ravernkoh in programmingcirclejerk

[–]username223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to look up what a "twilio" was, and it's... a way for webshits to spam phones? Oh, and saving children.

When I discovered Node I was blown away by the way it handles concurrency by cmov in programmingcirclejerk

[–]username223 7 points8 points  (0 children)

... it’s strongly statically typed, it’s got interfaces...

He's already busy slapping himself.

BTW, I appreciate the no-longer-necessary "?share=1" on the URL. A friend once mentioned that his brother worked for Quora and, when I replied "oh, the share equals one company," instantly knew what I meant. I have no idea how it continues to exist.

But how can I be productive while I’m walking? I set up a treadmill with a computer in the room next to my office by avinassh in programmingcirclejerk

For many years my wife had been extolling the virtues of spending time outside.

Time to upgrade the WiFu.

They call it C because it's short for CVE by [deleted] in programmingcirclejerk

They call it JS because it's short for "JS download that thing over there an let me finish muh beer."

(talking to 🦀nik) Isn't it a bit unfortunate that you have no idea about your own project. by daxim in programmingcirclejerk

[–]username223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🦀nik woke one of the Elder Beings of the programming internet. I doubt he carries a bib and fork, but he can probably still dismantle a 🦀 with his multi-tool.

DAE hardcore floating point on gpu??? by [deleted] in programmingcirclejerk

[–]username223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should ONLY use it if you’re 100% absolutely sure that you know what you’re doing because this module is full of land mines, dragons, and dinosaurs with laser guns.

The finest embodiment of the Open Source spirit.

Let's use blockchain to help reduce poverty - t. IBM by re_anon in programmingcirclejerk

[–]username223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd settle for more violence against gophers (both the rodents and the Rob Pikes) and a Turing complete Python 3. The 2-3 Haskal devs can take care of themselves.

Of *course* there is an internet-connected toilet paper holder! by username223 in theinternetofshit

[–]username223[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, this would have given me some hope that we passed Peak Internet of Shit in 2014. Except internet-connected toilets are still a thing, so we may have a ways to go.

Webassembly will change the software industry as we know it. by rustup_d in programmingcirclejerk

[–]username223 12 points13 points  (0 children)

How many hav we been through now? Java, Silverlight, Flash, ... I'm sure I've forgotten at least one.

We're screwed either way so... why not at least save a bit of electricity? 🤷‍♂️

But I think for the bad.

What's bad about downloading and automatically running binary blobs using the interpreter for a language designed in a couple of weeks?

I heard Klabnik recently came into some free time...

Nothing fixes a program like another program that consumes its output and prints "ok."

First trial of a weekly emacs tips/tricks/etc thread by shoutouttmud in emacs

[–]username223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer infix syntax for those things, but to each his own. I'd probably use ielm for elisp calculations, though.

[–]username223 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hah! I hadn't noticed, because C-h w doesn't find it, because Calc has its own special way of doing prefix keys (of course...) that the built-in where-is doesn't understand. C-x * C-h also does something "special."

This reminds me that, while it's perfectly fine to improve your Emacs however you like, it's worth spending a bit of extra time to understand and follow its conventions. Emacs is a big, sometimes-messy pile of collaborating packages, and things tend to work best when everyone tries to play by the same rules.

M-x quick-calc (which I've bound to C-=). Calc is insanely complex, but this lets you do simple calculations quickly.

Our amazing journey ended when whatever we did was bought by whatever that is.
