In the same way a marathon isn’t hard because it’s just one foot in front of the other until you’re done.

My decade old desktop at home falls under that, and indeed runs snappier than the beast of a laptop I got from work.

Oh damn, she’s… I forgot the name of the rank, but the stripes are for the non officer soldiers, the usual being 1, 2 and 3.

To get to 5, you have to be good at what you’re doing but reject the officer career path. She’s in it for the love of the game.

Or already that’s how it was, a lot could have changed in 16 years if guess.

I mean, not vibe coding is something to be proud of nowadays, why wouldn’t you mention that in your readme?

I know I’d put an AI disclaimer there. And everyone who doesn’t believe it, sorry, this free beer just ain’t for you then.

It’s clearly a butthole?

I find tech startup names far worse.

Especially the ones where they just… spell something wrong, like Lyft or Grindr. (Not startups anymore, I know, but that’s how they got the name).

But I wouldn’t mind if you convinced me otherwise with some good examples lol

If they can write

“You’re as dead as Celine Dion”, the confused president replied.

Nah, I made that up, but does it matter at this point? What could the precise actual words give you, that you don’t have yet?

Or insulin for a diabetic

Proton too? I literally just migrated there this year. Is it all even worth it at this point

Didn’t Hemingway famously write at a 5th grade level?

Using a thesaurus doesn’t mean it’s good writing.

Uh. So. That’s already in there

Ahahahaha no.

Jesus talks to the woman.

Admittedly, it’s not perfectly clear in the comment you answered to.

Not a problem, ignore the edgelording, you’ll be fine.

A lot of people don’t understand that readability is about how fast someone can correctly understand that whole class/file/etc afterwards. Sometimes using enums improves that, sometimes not.

For enums specifically, it is good to be aware what you do with them. Often it directly maps to a decision. E.g. enum ExportType with values JSON/XML/CSV - instead of passing an enum value to a big function with 3 different paths, you could have 3 classes that have a common interface, and pass one of those to the function to use. That is nicer sometimes, other times not.

Another thing is that enums are often used to have a small INT DB column, which is not supposed to represent a number (like for math and stuff) but different options. In that case, yeah enum is perfect to describe in code what those numbers actually mean.

But yeah, it all comes down to: After you write it, look at your code and see if it makes sense quickly - if not, adjust.

Yeah but that’s just edgelord behaviour.

You get those a lot with all kinds of programming languages, and Rust is certainly not know for having less of them.

The “move fast and break things” is from Silicon valley startup culture. Like, JS and PHP. No idea why you would think C++ is the poster child for fast iteration.

Pissing. It started with a comic where the frog learns to piss, AFAIK.

Well, “AI” in games was always behavior, rather than having anything to do with AI. It was just marketing.

And even then, artificial stupidity is usually more accurate than AI. FPS bots could easily headshot you immediately on sight but like, what good is that. It’s literally more work to make them worse at the game.

Two camels are sitting in the basement and are splitting [like e.g. with an axe] petroleum. One says to the other “Hey, it’s Christmas tomorrow!”. The other one answers" I know, I came here on my bike."

I did my best with that translation, but there are subtle hints that these things relate to each other, that would take way more words in English.

E.g. the “eh” widens the meaning to something along the lines of “It doesn’t matter because I already made the decision to come on my bike anyway”.

So I guess the joke is a bit that it’s the framework of a cohesive conversation, but it goes by so fast (3 quick sentences) that you kinda only realize that it was nonsense when it’s already over. It has dad joke vibes, too, only German jokes are more about unexpected content than puns.

Compare also (again doing my best on translation)

A ball rolls around the corner and tips over

Or the “poem” (cause it rhymes in german):

It was dark, the moon shone bright,
When a car drove lightning fast
Slooowly around the corner.
Inside people sat while standing,
Silently engrossed in conversation.
While a rabbit who was shot dead
Was ice skating on the sandbank.

It’s much easier to imagine/relate.

Somebody’s blind? Ok close your eyes, so that’s what that’s like. Somebody can’t walk well? A lot of people might have gotten a taste without even trying, by getting their leg in a cast while having an accident as a child.

Obviously that doesn’t encapsulate the whole experience of someone who can’t “switch it off” ever - but neurodiverse, you can’t really get a feel for it. Probably the same in both directions, by the way.
