Depends on how you define “letter”, but they are definitively not alphabetical. They are ideographs.

I’d say that “alphabet” has no relation to the things on that string.

But yeah, it’s the Unicode Consortium that knows something about it, not Swift.

Just a reminder that the internet was recently shredded exactly by the security infrastructure.

There’s way more energy on that baseball than on the half-empty glass.

None of that is “Python”. You want to learn a language and automatically know everything there is to know using Math?

That’s as good a reason to go work in space engineering as any.

It would be much better if it stopped missing the version of the code you are working on and locking while starting multithreaded code.

People only discovered that multi-layer non-linear neural networks work at the 90s. It’s not really reasonable to equate perceptrons with the stuff people use today.

When you enter an apostrophe, and the site returns a 500 response stating you are trying to attack it. (And yeah, it’s always 500, not 400.)

But i still think C++ has more footguns than Prolog.

They are different kinds of footguns. The C++ ones keep security, ops, management, suppliers, customers, and the public up at night; the prolog ones keep you up at night.

Ouch.

I’ve once decided that “hey, software interaction is logic, so prolog should be the best for complex protocols and UIs!”

Quite soon I understood that no, “complex protocols and UIs” are a problem all by themselves, enabling them makes them worse, and enabling them with prolog makes them even worse.

Up to this day I’m stuck trying to make data quering more “programming-like” than the restrictive thing we have with SQL. I’ve backtracked a few times already after noticing that I just designed prolog again.

But fear not, at some point one of us will finally find that problem domain for what prolog is really suitable. I know of an entire company betting on using it for describing access control rules, maybe they are up to something!

I have been wondering that lately…

Hum… I’m not sure I wouldn’t make that same mistake.

Also, be wary of them kicking boats away at the pier.

Odds are that your computer doesn’t export any language where it will do exactly as you say (amd64 machine code certainly won’t execute exactly as written). And how much difference it makes varies from one language to another.

But the specific example from the OP, of uninitialized variables, is one of those cases where the C spec famously goes completely out of line and says your code can do whatever, run with a random value, fail, initialize it, format your hard drive, make a transaction on your bank account… whatever.

Maybe this will get better with time.

Yes, just give it a few more decades.

Except that this is wrong. C is free to do all kinds of things you didn’t ask it to, and will often initialize your variables without you writing it.

Who debugs the builds of the build debugger?

Nobody uses palindromes in everyday conversation.

They are only useful as nerd jokes, interesting math facts (with no real world application), and stupid leetcode algorithms (with no real world application).

Nearly everybody here knows about them because nearly everybody here is exposed to lots of instances of those 3 categories. You could be feeling out of the loop, but you shouldn’t at all get impostor syndrome from it.

That’s a Hype_rC_ube.
