There’s a solid reason for goto in C.
Bringing goto into Java was (and is) idiotic.
If you’re trying to squeeze every ounce of performance out of your code then you’ll need those optimizations.
But any higher level language than C the entire point is to write easily maintainable and useful code that any idiot can go, read and update. A goto is antithetical to readability.
True it wasn’t mindless - just idiotic
Or speech that hurts his feelings
Federated Stack Exchange isn’t harder for AI to eat. If anything it’s easier.
Nah we’re not coming for the stoves. We’re coming for the entire methane leaking gasworks inside and out.
Natural gas has no place in the 21st century.
Right but instead of a toy language there’s Kotlin which is already multiplatform.
I just struggle to see why another language needed to be invented to do this.
I’m mostly just biased because I do native mobile development but flutter has always seemed like a false economy to me. You’re trying to build cross platform but it’ll take more than 2x as long as building each platform to get the same quality of experience. So either you have a shittier experience or you take even longer than true native dev.
But I’m obviously very biased here.
They’re probably not using python for AI
You shouldn’t have ever been recommending dart or flutter.
Python ain’t going anywhere tho
They’re on the same team in the same way you’re on the same team with a stranger when there are 6 ravenous wolves circling your dwindling torch light.
Is that stranger a fascist? Will they stab you in the back? Who knows: but it’s better to have a back to press yours to than it is to have 3 unwatched wolves behind you.
Coalition forming is our only option as progressives.
I generally feel like the opposite is true. I have more stability issues because of the weird half fucked hacks that I’ve installed over 7 different attempts to use the CLI to make my computer hallucinate small rainbow dogs.
Sure but interpretations like pilot wave have more evidence against them than for them and while multiverse is deterministic it’s only technically so. It’s effectively probabilistic in that everything happens and therefore nothing is determined strictly by current state.
Fair - it’s not that we know it’s not: it’s that we don’t know that it is.
Probabilistic is equally likely as deterministic - we’ve found absolutely nothing disproving probabilistic models. We’ve only found reinforcement for those models.
It’s unintuitive to humans so of course we don’t want to believe it. It remains to be seen if it’s true.
Absolutely! It’s a common misconception about neurons that I see in programming circles all the time. Before my pivot into programming I was pre-med and a physiology TA - I’ve always been interested in neurochemistry and how the brain works.
So I try and keep up with the latest about the brain and our understanding of it. It’s fascinating.
You’re implying that physical characteristics are inherently deterministic while we know they’re not.
Your neurons are analog and noisy and sensitive to the tiny fluctuations of random atomic noise.
Beyond that: they don’t do “if” logic, it’s more like complex combinatorial arithmetics that simultaneously modify future outputs with every input.
Different strokes - some would find what I’m doing hell. I personally love it.
The 260k/yr salary may help alleviate the pain.
Yeah and part of this is that the domain I’ve been working in for years now is very far from machine code, and I’m probably overly lax with my language here.
The result of being in very corporate app dev - I’m usually talking in much higher level abstractions. My bad on conflating bytecode and machine code
I do have a degree in this. I am aware.
This is sometimes practical, too. For example, hooking and extending functions in compiled code that will never be updated by the original author, while preserving the original executable/library files.
Your original comment made it seem more like extensions - extend and preserve. That’s the misunderstanding.
When I said it’s wild to manipulate bytecode I means “wow that’s a terrifying practice, I would hate to check that PR”
Ah my bad, misunderstood the use case.
I thought you were talking about keeping an unmaintained library intact but building onto it.
I thought C was a really dangerous way to use that syntactic sugar pattern. Actual manipulation of the bytecode to maintain and extend a compiled binary is wild
