Because it can be done for multiple lines too. And you can do else-if too. Also, “if” and “else” is more recognizable than “?” and “:”

x = if y > 5 {
    println!("Y was over 5");
    z + 5
} else if y < 0 {
    handle_negative_y(y);
    z - y
} else {
    println!("<WARN> unexpected value for y"}
    0
}

This is valid rust. I don’t know if there are more languages with this feature

Swords had phrases written on them too. This has been happening since forever.

No.

A stack overflow is a symptom, not the illness. A fork bomb is an illness.

Software coming from the mathematical point of view, assummes it has infinite resources. However, a real computer has many resources that are finite.

CPU time is finite. Memory amount is finite. There is a finite number of network ports. And so on.

A stack overflow just means: “you have run out of this resource called ‘the stack’”. The stack is a region of the memory. Each thread of each process has 1 stack, and it is not infinite in size. This program will cause a stack overflow because it is infinitely recursive, and each function call will consume a bit of the stack.

A forkbomb is not the end of a finite resource. A fork bomb is a program that uses “forking” to rapidly consume system resources. A fork bomb might cause a stack overflow. Or an out of memory issue. Slow the computer a lot. Or if the OS has a hard limit for process amount, it might reach that limit.

“in 20 years” doesn’t get as much hype as “in 3 months”

Maybe if they said “in 3 months” instead we would’ve actually have had it in 20 years. Seeing how much ai attracts money with these obviously unbelievable promises.

From the makers of “fusion energy in 20 years”, “full self driving next year” and “AI will take your job in 3 months” cones “all code will be AI in 6 months”.

Trust me, it’s for real this time. The new healthcare system is 2 weeks away.

EDIT: how could I forget “graphene is going to come out of the lab soon and we’ll have transparent flexible screens that consume 0 electricity” and “researches find new battery technology that has twice the capacity as lithium”

It was years ago. So I don’t remember what exactly the problem was.

I believe ocaml has a shell interpreter and a compiler right? I managed to get the shell interpreter to work, but I couldn’t get one of these to work:

• Compiler
• LSP

The reason I prefer windows is because things just work. But it was a frustration with ocaml. Meanwhile rust was a single command for the compiler, and a single extension install for the LSP.

Rust is not fully functional. But I am legally obligated to recommend it any time I can.

Jokes aside, this doesn’t apply to you, since you seem to actively learn functional programming. But for people that are scared of it, rust looks like “normal” languages, but has tons of features that can be attributed to functional programming. Even more so if you avoid using references. You can easily “mutate” objects the functional way, by passing the object to the function, and the function creates a new object with just some value changed.

It has algebraic data types. Function pointers. Iterators. Pattern-based match statements. Don’t have class inheritance. Inmutable by default. Recursion. Monads. And probably other FP features that I’m missing.

It has basically every functional feature while having familiar syntax.

It’s also extremely easy to install. Which I didn’t use to appreciate, but then I tried to learn OCaml and had to give up because I couldn’t set up a proper dev environment on windows.

1. Why vs code web and not desktop vscode?
2. At least on the desktop version, there’s a “><” (with the “>” being higher) looking icon in the lower left corner. Click that to open remote sessions.

I don’t know if vs code web can do remote sessions. So the button might not be there

Historically speaking, that will just make the next leader give many powers to the military in order to “bring peace” so whatever happened to the last one doesn’t happen to him.

I do enjoy cleaning code a lot.

When I work on shitty code I’m always thinking about how shitty it is and thinking on how a different design would make it much easier.

When you clean the code, you’re implementing that perfect design you were thinking of all that time. And you know from that point on you’ll be thinking less about how shitty the code is.

If your only task is to clean code and you’re not gonna work on that codebase afterwards, it’s not as rewarding though.

In these situations, governments treat things like “Whatsapp” or “telegram” as social media.

They don’t ban social media so tech corps don’t fuck their population. They ban social media so their population can’t organize against them.

When brown, they are inmigrantes anda those are ghettos. When white, they are expats in expat communities.

Or you can just uninstall edge.

Migrant to me is the more accurate word.

Migration can be seen from 2 viewpoints, “emigration” and “immigration”. Depending if you are looking from the country of origin or the destination.

However, in this headline neither the origin nor the destination is mentioned, therefore it doesn’t make sense from either point of view. Therefore the viewpoint-agnostic “migrant” makes more sense to me.

Notice how you didn’t even consider the possiblity of just china and Taiwan being separate countries. Which is how many civil wars end (the US civil war is not the only civil war). It is also the ending that causes less harm overall. The taiwanese don’t die, and the Chinese don’t “give in to separatists”, because they are not separatists. You can’t separate from a state you never belonged to. The taiwanese were never part of communist china.

What the taiwanese want is sovereignty.

The threat of blowing up TSMC if invaded helps with their sovereignty because it both avoids the Chinese attacking them and helps the Americans defend them.

Don’t worry. This is just third party AIs. Google’s AIs will still be trained on them without your permission.

When the working class kills a CEO, there’s a reward by the FBI and is found in a week. When a company does it, the world is silent.

You would think that because of that, people would melt them down when they became no longer useful as currency.
