In that case, don’t look up Dwarf Fortress. I’ve also heard good things about Factorio, but I haven’t tried it yet.

And C++ compile times made me learn C. You must be jealous that my memory errors & race conditions compile faster than yours.

I haven’t gotten a chance yet, as rustc is using 100% CPU & RAM.

Nice!

They’re on the feddit.uk instance, so it’s more likely that they’re British. Either their VPN prefers USA servers for some reason, or they’ve only done about 138 million downloads at most.

What’s disgusting about it? The only thing I can think of is the implicit return, which felt a bit icky at first.

Also, as the if expression is an expression, you can call methods on it like so:

if 1 > 2 {
    3
} else {
    4
}.min(5)

(the above is still an expression, so it could be used, for example, as part of a condition for another if)

Of course, you can write horrible code in any language, but the ability to use blocks where expressions are expected can be great sometimes.

Rust would allow you to

let ret = if some_condition {
    <a lot of expensive calculations>
    result_of_operations
} else {
    <a lot of other different expensive calculations>
    result_of_other_operations
};

Now you don’t have to declare it inside the blocks.

It’s way more common than you may realize. Intel & AMD (and other x86 CPU manufacturers of the time) did it before the first Crusoe CPU launched. (2000 according to Wikipedia)

CISC architectures are now seen as inefficient, so all the new ones are RISC and new CISC CPUs just translate the instructions to their intenal RISCier microarchitecture. The CPU’s microcode specifies what an instruction translates to.

A communication protocol used in microchips, small modules & embedded devices that uses 2 wires. Think something like USB, but dead simple.

If they have it on a hat, in real life, then it’s linked to their real identity. They might just want to keep it separate from Lemmy.

CSS can actually do a lot. Many effects that are often done trough JS can also be done with CSS.

Not compared to me, compared to the political parties where I live. From what I’ve read about them, the USA’s Democrats are, at best, comparable to center-right parties here.

I’m not saying that they’re the same, they’re just both right-wing.

I mostly meant that a 2 party system consisting of 2 right-wing parties & a horrible voting sysem doesn’t exactly scream “functioning democracy” to me.

What could that mysterious white liquid be?

Has a functioning democracy ever feel like this

TIL the USA has had a functioning democracy.

Don’t forget Self, the type of self.

I’m currently traveling through time at 0.00027̅ h/s.

What about μc or nc, a bit umder 300m/s & 3m/s, respectively.

What does “BringThemHome” mean here?
