@freemo my pleasure

@freemo No need to be shy now, we all know you are the embodiment of vanity, so much so that you adopted a philosophy that defines absolutely everything as egoism to somehow cope.

@thor@mstdn.social @mikey

Now isn't that wonderful, that you have to step away from the screen, get comfortable with your chosen ritual of relaxation and talk to your imaginary friends in order to truly understand the problem, internalize it, become the problem and then go back and be able to read the ancient hieroglyphics your ancestors encoded their wisdom in, as apposed to being outright rejected as an unworthy perverted heathen or an arbitrary solution force fed to you as ultimate, leaving you forever oblivious to the existence of the problem?
In the name of the compiler, the library and the holy committee, I bless you children. May you never come upon a compiler bug in your quest for the binary.

me - next time, can we make something at least remotely tangible?
brain - what's the fun in that?
me - how did we even get here?
brain - long story, but basically you lied and we had to fix things to make your lies true.
me - :|
brain - :|
me - >:(

Here you go voter:

From the depths of the metaprogramming abyss, where compiler bugs dwell, through relentless perversion emerges an abomination of your choosing. If this all goes horribly wrong, I will blame you, even though you were not paid for this.

@philipwhite @minoru context is all that matter really. If you are sensible, neutral, polite most people wouldn't have a problem. If you are obsessive, confrontational, mean most people would. Of course, if you are trying to be a smartass, you are running the risk of looking extra stupid talking about ancient history everyone already figured out, but that's a threat to you no anyone else. So, basically, just don't be creepy. That said... STALK ALL OVER ME BABY, OH YEAAAH

Star Wars had a story? :O
Good thing I watched it before I could get it. For me it's:

*bzzzt, woom, woom, wuouom*
*heavy breathing through respirator*
Short, fat, whistling canister robot is smarter, braver, more resourceful and all around just better than the pretty humanoid talking robot, *nods* deep...
Bigfoot phobia therapy.
Yoda is funny.
Cool guy who's mask you fell in love with face reveals to be a lame dork, *nods* so real...

from prequels:
General light sabre blender.
Shields up! Catapults!

You say...
Dads are important somehow?? *shrugs*
Luke and Leya are siblings?
There are politics?
That Palpatine guy is also the shriveled lightning shooting guy?
Shriveled lighting shooting guy is the emperor?
Prequels come before the first tree?
Anakin is Vader?
There is child murder?

I didn't read it either, but if I get to 50, I'll have to...

@fluffy *bows* *bows again*

@georgia@dickkickextremist.xyz @fluffy yeah, Euclid's not even close, a total virgin, his mathematics are below elementary school level, nobody's gonna teach that ancient cruft today, maybe only in history class so you can laugh at how dumb people were back in the day, with their religious denial of negative numbers and such... except of course that one nutjob professor at uni, who's going to casually point out that the reason you are so lost and confused is that all your knowledge is just floating around without a foundation and that you need to go read Euclid's Elements, and try to prove all the theorems he didn't prove (lazy bastard) and figure yourself out, thus finally bringing your exam passing calculator education to an end, and beginning your actual mathematical education, you know, when you're like 50 or something.

@niggaflamebuttholeaids

@georgia@dickkickextremist.xyz

Apparently Euclid could do it without angles, cosines or even negative numbers, and it even looked better, so that law is indeed garbage when it comes to memory optimization.

@niggaflamebuttholeaids

@freemo cause I want to read it, cause I liked various lectures and talks of the author (one of the authors), in some of which he plugs books.

@Lwasserman

@Lwasserman @freemo

elements of programming

from mathematics to generic programming

I did not read them though... I never read a textbook... one of these days...

Try to write transparent wrapper using implicit conversion ->
-> templates don't pick it up, cause type deduction -> fix with metamagic ->
gcc rejects valid >~<
http://ix.io/2nlC/cpp
Isolate, work around.

Add an innocent constant variable -> clang segmentation faults x_x
http://ix.io/2nlF/cpp
power through without the quality of life constant.
Brag about bugs you found.
Feel alive.

@tuxcrafting

Our environment might be 3D, our vision might be 2D(times 2 plus 1 ish~), but our mindset is most definitely 1D. Just look at the mathematicians trying to squeeze the entire world into the number line. We just love that one long D...

@smithy My claim was not that both sides did not have equal merit, but that one side has none at all, though I have to admit it took me a while to discern what was going on, I'm a bit of a slowpoke myself. There was some genuine back and forth, I can see logic and train of thought. If you got convinced a bit, it's fine, not the end of the word, Terry was trying real hard. People don't really argue much when they are on the fence, and no real argument ever ends on "ok, I was wrong", that comes much later, if ever. It's not pointless especially when done in public, however small it might be.
