What’s with those model numbers?

People on Reddit. We’re the people off Reddit :)

I’m not convinced a parent who didn’t notice the pram rolling towards a moving train, and who hadn’t strapped the child in, is going to notice an extra sign… Hopefully this lucky escape will be enough of a wake-up call :/.

It’s like the number of kids who get left in the back of cars (most dangerously in hot climates) led to dashboard warnings to check the rear seats. These work for a week or so, and then also just become wallpaper.

I hope they’ve been taken outside the environment now.

Was just going to submit a scrolling issue, but the GitHub link above isn’t working for me—the other links work fine but not that one :(.

Shame they don’t have anything to like, you know, build them a home out of.

It’s Canadian is what it is. Explains all.

Finally a gif with sound (in my head).

No, tiny bits of hidden software. It’s not a very efficient way of distributing code, but it was fun.

I’m a software engineer and I built a trebuchet during lockdown to launch Easter eggs at the neighbours’ gardens since we weren’t allowed to go see them.

I wandered in here from computer science, and I’m going back to solving parallel cache coherency for a bit of light relief.

And likely Crowdstrike will have their own insurance. At the end of the day, it’s just gamblers sitting at the table, moving the chips around.

I learnt that when I was about 7 after shouting it at my dad in front of a crowd of people.

Function/Method names, on the other hand, should be written so as to make the most sense to the humans reading and writing the code

Of course—that’s why we have such classics as stristr(), strpbrk(), and stripos(). Pretty obvious what the differences are there.

But to your point, the ‘intuitive’ counterpart to ‘zeroth’ is the item with index zero. What we have is a mishmash of accurate and colloquial terms for the same thing.

Most humans wouldd never write the word first followed by (). It absolutely should have been zeroth(), and would not cause any confusion amongst anyone who needed to write it.

This Antex is about 30 years old, has a heat resistant cap and is still going strong :) Don’t know what they’re like these days but I’d recommend on my experience.

What part of the rest of the world are you in?
