i would do that. i may have already done that

what if we finally get to the moon and there’s another ocean there waiting for us

you can tell this guy actually went to the moon because he’s smiling, unlike the guys at the apollo 11 press conference

i will never forgive C for making the type syntax be

char* args[]

instead of the much more reasonable

&[char] args 

it also bothers me that char* args[] and char c are “the same type” in the sense that the compiler lets you write

char c, *args[5];

with no problems. i think the C languages would be way easier to learn if they had better type syntax. don’t even get me started on C++ adding support for

auto fn_name() -> ReturnType { … }

my microwave beeps if you hit the cancel button. it makes me avoid using it.

if cows could be on the C++ committee i would eat nothing but hamburgers

he looks like he’s about to fall down into the water :(

i hope i never have to write beruacracy in an academic context

why calculate one thing when we can instead calculate many things?

i wish it was more common to also indicate the precedence of a percentage increase, so that it’s easier to know if i’m dealing with (x + y ) * z or x + (y * z). although that’s admittedly a lot harder to communicate.

this seems like as good a place as any to mention the etymology of the word mathematics. according to wikipedia,

The word mathematics comes from the Ancient Greek word máthēma (μάθημα), meaning ‘something learned, knowledge, mathematics’, and the derived expression mathēmatikḗ tékhnē (μαθηματικὴ τέχνη), meaning ‘mathematical science’.

so basically, math is the study of things that can be learned. 😎

i can’t listen to anything when writing heady stuff or else i get a bad headache. even background sounds in a cafe will cause me pain. so my playlist would be empty and i would definitely get rejected for bad vibes

i know this guy has a fancy degree and everything, but is he really as reliable a source as rfk junior? you don’t need fluoride when you have an army of worms ready to eat any kinds of bacteria that may enter your system.

mmmm mars milk

i’ve only ever seen tankies complain about the word “tankie” being over used. i guess us non-tankies just don’t hear it very often.

there’s also this false dichotomy i’ve seen many tankies present where they try to argue that people are either liberals or tankies. it is possible to be a leftist and not support authoritarian governments.

it’s not too late to get a sad lamp. they really help me out when the sun starts to set at 4.

an even smarter and wiser person uses this opportunity to make a post on c/science_memes

if there’s nothing that crows have and you don’t, does that not make you a superset of crows? that would be pretty cool i think

this was also me in my 20s when someone asked if i wanted to go out drinking

always remember, <=> is the three-way comparison operator. it takes two arguments.
