Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia CEO Begs Execs to Stop Telling Workers They're Fired Because of AIEnglish
9·7 days agoThe real indicator of global warming.
Goto CAN be readable, it’s true.
The problem is that it’s easy to make code that is LESS readable; in order to prevent horrible unmaintainable spaghetti, it is forbidden nearly everywhere. A lot of coding ‘rules’ are really just ways to try to cut down on stupid coding practices by greenhorns and enforce code maintainability.
That’s because it’s not. It’s ignoring the meme format and just using the image without the context.
It’s pointing out the conflict between two coding ideals - first, reducing duplicate code so that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel and/or copy-paste code (which often means making calls to libraries) which is represented by the red penguin facing right, and second, wanting to reduce dependencies so that external variables are reduced (which would mean including code in your codebase that otherwise would be an external library call) which is represented by the blue penguin facing left.
The closer you get towards one ideal, the further away you get from the other.
IF and GOTO are the only flow control we need; everything else is for cowards.

If they’re only a couple meters wide, how the heck are they supposed to fit watercraft?
Took me a bit. I was staring at it for a while thinking ‘What part of this is socially awkward?’

6·15 days agoI might be interested if they hadn’t ditched the open platform aspect of their phones. Now they’re hardly any different from any of the other brands.
Except the major AI players are drastically increasing their prices…

World News@quokk.au•As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s helpEnglish
2·20 days agoAnd to put a finer point on it, the United States only ever considered Cuba either a threat or a resource rather than an ally.

Technology@lemmy.world•Kickstarter bans all NSFW content from the websiteEnglish
11·20 days agoYou’re ignoring the fact that you have to:
- get a wallet
- make sure your wallet is secure
- fund the wallet from a trusted source
- back up your wallet
Crypto is many things, but it isn’t exactly as friendly as a credit card provided by your bank. Or PayPal, for that matter.

How do you keep a Mormon from drinking all the beer on your fishing trip?
Invite another Mormon.
(My family is Mormon and they also think this joke is hilarious)
