#define yeet throw
#define let const auto
#define mut &
#define skibidi exit(1)

The future is now!

The whole thing was pretty damn good all the way through. The only thing that had me wondering was

Tea

Until it got to

SpillTea

Well played.

NGL, that helped me actually understand the original function. It's been over a decade since I've touched anything related to C.

Yeah, I love that one.

"Try" is too hopeful. "fuck_around" makes it clear that you know what you're doing is dangerous but you're going to do it anyhow. I know that in some languages wrapping a lot of code in exception blocks is the norm, but I don't like that. I think it should be something you only use rarely, and when you do it's because you know you're doing something that's not safe in some way.

"Catch" has never satisfied me. I mean, I know what it does, but it doesn't seem to relate to "try". Really, if "try" doesn't succeed, the corresponding block should be "fail". But, then you'd have the confusion of a block named "fail", which isn't ideal. But "find_out" pairs perfectly with "fuck_around" and makes it clear that if you got there it's because something went wrong.

I also like "yeet". Partly it's fun for comedic value. But, it's also good because "throw" feels like a casual game of catch in the park. "Yeet" feels more like it's out of control, if you hit a "throw" your code isn't carefully handing off its state, it's hitting the eject button and hoping for the best. You hope there's an exception handler higher up the stack that will do the right thing, but it also might just bubble all the way up to the top and spit out a nasty exception for the user.

And a decade or so ago it was LOLCODE that had me mildly concerned for the wellbeing of my peers.

For some reason, this just sparked an ancient memory of the Geek Code, which was a sort of signature block you could append to your emails and online bios to show off how much of a geek you were in the geekiest fashion possible.

Goddamn I'm old.

Sure! It doesn't do anything yet, I just have a text file with how I'm intending to architect it.

It quite literally started ~~two~~ four (edit: I can't keep track of time) days ago.

I'll configure a repo, stick this in a file, and push it. I'll reply with another comment so you (and others) can look it up.

I've come up with some crazy stuff. Instead of something like "class" to indicate a class, it's

🏫 Followed by the emoji name of the class like 🖼️📁. So it will need to be able to handle operators in the name it's amazingly gross! Properties and methods will also be emoji names, like to get the 🖼️📁 "File Name" it would be 📁💳.

This is a better argument to adopt Rust than memory safety or even sane package management.

Big "you damn kids and your phones" vibes from this

[–] throwback3090@lemmy.nz 9 points 2 years ago

Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:

When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then you die.

I have many gray hairs, but here's what I know.

Highkey and lowkey - obvious and subtle.
fax is "facts" - true. Often in the sense of agreement.
Fuck around and find out - do something risky and reap the consequences
It's giving - how it makes you feel, or what it reminds you of.
Cap and no cap - lying and telling the truth.
Big yikes - bad, especially cringey.
Tea - (n) gossip. (v) "spill the tea"
Shoutout - give credit to someone. I don't think this one makes much sense here.
Yap - talk, especially too much or unnecessarily.
Yeet - throw, often without careful aim. (Unlike "Kobe", which is a throw with aim)

You missed

Rizz = charisma
vibe check = Vibe is kinda like someone’s aura or energy. So to check their vibe is to call them out on it.

Also got many grey hairs but I like to know what people mean and language evolves. Our generation did it too you get me blud.
