i will never forgive them for making the pointer type be T* instead of &T. most confusing thing ever.
don’t even get me started on C++ making T& the reference type and then making T&& be something other than the double reference type.
god, what a beautiful language. it brings a tear to my eye
i will never forgive C for making the type syntax be
char* args[]
instead of the much more reasonable
&[char] args
it also bothers me that char* args[] and char c are “the same type” in the sense that the compiler lets you write
char c, *args[5];
with no problems. i think the C languages would be way easier to learn if they had better type syntax. don’t even get me started on C++ adding support for
auto fn_name() -> ReturnType { … }
i agree but would like to add that it’s generally good practice to stay away from rockets
why not just take it a step further and make true = “Yes” and false = “No”
this is p-adic gender erasure
why couldn’t you compute p/q < r/s by checking ps < rq? if you follow the convention that denominators have to be strictly positive then you don’t even have to take signs into account. and you can check equality in the same way. no float conversion necessary. you do still need to eat a big multiplication though, which kind of sucks. the point you bring up of needing to reduce fractions after adding or multiplying also a massive problem. maybe we could solve this by prohibiting the end user from adding or multiplying numbers
if cows could be on the C++ committee i would eat nothing but hamburgers
i’m a bit bothered by aoc’s response here. i’m okay with “whoa” or “woah”, but “whoah” just doesn’t sit well with me. the h needs to pick a side of the “oa”.
i hope that afterwards they petition to cancel oracles javascript
they should have just used rust smh
this does make sense. thank you for explaining it. i had always thought that retweet was the twitter word for reply (a reply that is also a tweet), but this makes way more sense.
as someone who has never used twitter, it always confuses me that twitter sometimes puts the reply before the message that’s being replied to. why do it this way?
always remember, <=> is the three-way comparison operator. it takes two arguments.
i would disagree that math problems only have one strategy for getting to the answer. there are many things, particularly in more abstract math, which can be understood in multiple different ways. the first example that comes to mind is the fundamental theorem of algebra. you can prove it using complex analysis, algebraic topology, or abstract algebra. all the proofs are quite different and rely on deep results from different fields of math.
i think the same thing holds in the less abstract areas of math, it’s just that people are often only taught one strategy for solving a problem and so they believe that’s all there is.
it would be a pretty funny post for the full 5 minutes it would last until it got stalin sorted out of lemmy.ml
no it does not. it’s basically just a poll to see what other countries think. at least, that’s my understanding based on what i’ve read.
