  • TIL: Why ARM Has a JavaScript Instruction

    Jump

  • It is the 0-th element after the start of the array. 0-based indexing is very common in both mathematics and computer science.

  • What does it mean to access the element at index π of an array?

  • Thank goodness there was nothing more useful we could have done as a society with all of the tens of billions of dollars that was spent on this project, or it would have been an incredible waste!

  • There are tons of languages that let you represent integers directly as integers rather than having everything be a float so that you do not have to worry about this problem at all.

  • Why Senior Engineers Let Bad Projects Fail

  • More accurately, what they have learned is that wars have a cost, so they should not be fought lightly.

  • The author does not say never to speak up, just that one needs to be strategic about it.

  • If only we had built the web on top of a language that did not have such insane handling of its numbers in the first place...

  • Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out?

  • If by "advancing against Russia" you mean that a bunch of countries were extremely eager to sign up when given the chance, then arguably its Russia's own fault that they felt the need to join a defense alliance so that their sovereignty would not be threatened in the future. And given that Ukraine has been invaded multiple times by Russia exactly because it does not have a NATO mutual defense guarantee, it sure looks like they had the right idea.

  • It might surprise you, but I do not actually get paid to post comments on Lemmy for living, so I am allowed to focus on the part of the argument that I think is strangest.

    The author of that comment was free to reply in turn by something along the lines of, "Fine, then drop Ukraine from the list, because I don't need it to make my point." Instead, they doubled down that it belongs there.

  • Agreed. However, in fairness, if a person goes to the bathroom to poop then one probably will have forgotten by the time they left the room, but if instead a couple looks at each other meaningfully, excuses themselves for a bit, and then returns slightly flustered, then one will have a harder time forgetting.

    As another example, if one sees a member of the attractive sex naked, then the first visceral emotional response will be to their sexiness and not to how efficiently their butt could be used for pooping.

    So the analogy doesn't quite fit, and that explains why sex-adjacent things can trigger sex parts of the brain, even when this reaction is undesired, which I think was the point of the comic--not to make some kind of grand statement about the propriety of telling people that you are trying for a baby. (And really, in the end, it is just a dumb joke, and in my opinion the slobbering detracted from the humor value so it was not executed as well as it could have been.)

  • Or maybe... it is just a dumb joke?

    I've seen this exact comic circulate on Lemmy before. I think it is mildly amusing because it has the dumb kind of humor that I like, but the slobbering kind of made it weird which detracted from the humor value.

  • Could you explain exactly how NATO and US imperialism led to Russia invading Ukraine?

  • Yeah, at that point they gave up on getting the emu to have the correct number of toes and decided to go ahead and ship it.

  • Look, all I am saying is that if you go out of your way to talk about how you are trying to have a baby and you are fairly attractive then my brain might file that information away for... later purposes.

  • Set the challenge to create my own 3d engine from scratch. Where to start?

    Jump

  • There are a couple of approaches you can take, depending on your learning style.

    The first is that you could start really easy by creating a 1d engine, and then once you've gotten that mastered keep adding more dimensions until you get to 3d.

    The second is that you could skip all the way to creating a 4d engine, and once you've gotten that mastered just chip off one dimension and bam you now have a 3d engine.
