Famously, and in formal completion of Cunningham’s law disapproval. Cunningham has never said that, and actually disagrees with the aphorism, he’s been quoted qualifying it as a misquote and a proof of misinformation spread on the internet in complete self-defeating disprove.
There does seem to be a significant German contingent on Lemmy, as there was on Reddit. I have a very in-my-head Reddit moment I need to share.
Remember when “The Nations of the World brought to you by Yakko Warner” was a meme and people were making all kinds of permutations of it? I saw one that was like “the nations of the world if Germany won WWII” which was basically “Germany Germany Germany Germany Portugal Spain, Spain, Germany, Germany…”
On the most recent r/place I remember, the Germans had a habit of taking their tricolor flag all the way across the canvas, which made me think “Germany Germany Germany Germany” in Yakko Warner’s voice.
All you need to do is say “Rust” and “memory safety” a lot and join us at the crab rave.
If you ever see a news article about hacking or an exploit, or a major service go down, you just say tsk-tsk they should have used memory safe Rust, and your comment will be as informative as 80% of other comments.
When you’re done you’ll find Birkenstocks and comfortable socks on your feet, cargo shorts with more pockets than even Hermione Granger could use, a glorious grey beard to stroke, and either a Metallica or a Hawaiian shirt that’s 15 years old and has blown through the armpits.
You will have reached nirvana. You’ll be able to unlock the secrets of the universe without opening a single interactive program.
ECMAScript spec says Math.random must be less than 1. I was about to stop there, but a thought occurred to me: could the multiply with a float make a number large enough to floor to a different value for large enough values? 🤔
I imagine it’d have to be a ridiculously large number to amount enough floating point imprecision to matter, if so.
I have only been on the fediverse for a month but I’m pretty sure I could start my own software engineering company on the pc I just built (Linux OS, of course).
