Computer speak is disturbingly similar to text message speak

Bugs are bioengineering masterpieces.

The most recent Zefrank video is a great example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spuO7OpS6zw

Have they tried power cycling it?

One thing that annoyed me about C# as a Java guy is that it really wants you to use camel case for function and property names, even private ones. I don’t like it specifically because it’s hard to differentiate between a function/property and a type.

But C# has quite a few keywords and seem to like adding them more than Java.

Maybe that’s their way of ensuring keywords don’t clash with stuff?

Interesting. Thanks!

any new keyword could break backwards compatibility

Wouldn’t that happen anyway with variable and function names? Any type other than primitive/built in ones are usually camel case so lower case keywords are more likely to clash with single word variable and function names, unless you restrict the cases of those too or allow keyword overriding or something.

How do you do nested parameterized types without it becoming ambiguous though? That’s IMO the biggest advantage of the bracket syntax. For example: Map<Tuple<Int, Int, Int> Int>

void*

TIL PHP has statics.

Also, does PHP actually enforce the type declarations? I’d assume it would but knowing PHP…

Doesn’t Basic use Dim a As String?

It’s commonly used in math to declare variables so I assume programming languages borrowed it from there.

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced this kind of confusion in Java but that’s probably because they intentionally restricted the syntax so there’s no ambiguity.

Its in there. At least for phones without a high enough waterproof rating

Gonna guess all the phone manufacturers will coincidentally determine that waterproofing is a feature desperately needed by the European market on all tiers.

Also won’t affect iPhones since they’re already all “waterproof.”

Unknown Chinese Phonemaker

Shit title and really highlights Bloomberg’s western supremacist views. Unknown to who? Clearly tons of people know about it if it took over Africa.

They have different brands than us because they’re a completely different region and market? Nope, never heard of it so it must be unknown.

Mesh networks can be built on zero trust principles and have everything E2EE. Kind of like Tor.

But the more realistic scenario is the police will just deploy jammers to completely disable all wireless communication.

Better than an integer at least.

Race condition that only happens on the much faster production hardware: Allow me to introduce myself

Another case of piracy having far superior user experience compared to the legal, honest way of playing the game, not because piracy is intrinsically better but because the publisher deliberately makes the official experience as inconvenient and exploitative as possible.

I used to have a git repo in my emulator’s save directory so I could have checkpoints that I can restore to if I ever get stuck.

Does Pokemon have microtransactions now? If so, I wouldn’t be surprised if they deliberately made the transfer mechanism buggy so some kid loses all their Pokemon and their parents are forced to buy them back to get them to stop crying.
