Programmer Humor

My mistake. I had somehow missed or forgotten that Lisp also supports currying, which is what I was thinking of as Haskell taking further. There might be other things regarding type declaration and such, but that’s a little beyond me to confirm or deny at the moment.

Groovy will automatically convert integers into objects, as it sees fit. And one such case is when you assign null to an integer. There’s some more languages, which try to treat primitive types like objects, to make them more consistently usable. As I understand, nullability is a big part of the reason why it can’t be solved with syntactic sugar, so presumably this would be possible in all those languages. If I’m not mistaken, Ruby is another one of those languages.

To add to what the other commenter said; You have to understand that “obsolete” is much more of a recent understanding culturally. In the 80s it was still far more common to see appliances as things you bought for life and to see electronics like a television, computer, hi-fi, etc. as appliances. The oversaturation came not just from a plethora of games but also from a severe lack of quality control and from Atari and other companies rapidly releasing new consoles, that weren’t exactly upgrades to the previous consoles, to a market that wasn’t interested in replacing the system and games they just bought while dumping support for the previous console. Atari is most guilty of this and an attempt to reduce inventory and increase price led to the now famous ET carts buried in the desert story you may have heard about. By the time Nintendo was ready to release the NES in North America they did so through toy stores and marketed it as a toy and not a computer for games (one example of this is the board inside the cart only takes up about 1/3rd the space, they made them bigger for kids to handle in NA compared to the Japanese version called the Famicom). As well, they had extremely strict quality control guidelines with things like the Licensed by Nintendo seal appearing on approved games and accessories, and bans on retailers that sold unlicensed games. It took a couple years but this approach paid off. They also didn’t drop the NES when the SNES was released with the last official NES game (Wario’s Woods, also the only NES game to get an ESRB rating IIRC) coming almost 5 years after the SNES came out.

What about it using at least 1 GB of RAM, and growing continuously while you’re using it until the OOM killer has gotten enough and kills it?

XDG dirs please and thank you

Knowyourmeme shows it used sort of both ways, but I guess it kind of depends who in the meme you agree with in the original context of the show (for whatever that’s worth), yes, Patrick and SpongeBob are the confused/incorrect ones

I vibe coded a 2000 line python program. It runs and does what I want. So many weird things in the code. But I don’t care. This code won’t be used to launch a space shuttle or even be used by anyone but me. It works…send it.

Since when have we had deadlines to do that?

The Federal gov in the US has a “road legal” standard for commercial motor vehicles like trucks and buses. The feds also have minimum rules for headlights, brake lights and turn signals on passenger cars. Everything else in terms of road legality is a state law in each of the 50 states. The reason is the Constitution gives the feds power to regulate interstate commerce (i.e. big commercial vehicles that frequently cross state lines). The feds do not have the general “police power” that states have to pass laws on whatever.

I also have a laptop working as a server. The problem is that the WiFi antenna is in the lid and it just doesn’t work well when the lid is closed

Let’s fucking goooo

Let’s use JavaScript as the query language, nothing could ever go wrong with that…

Running the model? Sure. Training the model still requires high compute throughput.

And here I thought it was referring to the small print on the inside. Then it hit me.
