They may be worse than a very good programmer. But will be much faster answer. The real captcha is not to check if the answer is correct. It is to check the time it takes to answer.

Except humans that are not very good programmers will just give up and answer quite fast. Or just click away lol.

I haven’t read 90% of your comment since it is out of the topic of the discussion. The “trap” is trying to argue with mee about something I haven’t even mentioned.

As far as I’m aware, no one replied to the original comment. Maybe someone from lemmy.ml commented? I have many of them blocked. That might be the issue.

Yes that is me. Someone’s beliefs are their opinion, that is correct, whether they are ignorant or not.

I’m not saying I should be immune for criticism or retaliation. In fact I wish my comment was criticized so I can know what part of it people disagree with. Instead I’m met with “go eat farts, transphobe”.

In my opinion, claiming that “it is possible to not have fascism and whatever ‘trans rights’ means to you at the same time” is not transphobic.

I’m awaiting my ban from lemmy.world for being a something-phobe if that’s the case. I don’t think repeating xenophobe and transphobe is original though. What should they ban me for? I would think the logical next step is racism, but that doesn’t end in phobe so it would be a waste of an opportunity.

No thank you. I like using third party apps. I don’t need to see or interact with those instances anyway. There’s plenty more where people can accept that having a different opinion does not make you a something-phobe.

Op asked why we got banned. I said, lol. That’s what this thread is for.

Never got banned from reddit.

Got banned from .ml for “xenophobia” (calling someone a Russian bot)

Got banned from blhaja too for “transphobia” (saying that leftists should focus on taxing the rich instead of giving subsidies to trans ppl)

I don’t know whatever that language is doing is called, but it’s not reference counting. It’s doing some kind of static code analysis, and then it falls back to reference counting.

If you call that reference counting, what stops you from calling garbage collectors reference counting too? They certainly count references! Is the stack a reference count too? It keeps track of all the data in a stack frame, some of it might be references!

I don’t know what you read on my reply. But your reply makes no sense.

Let me rephrase it if you prefer:

Claiming that Rusty’s borrow checker is reference counting is hugely misleading. Since the borrow checker was made specifically to prevent the runtime cost of garbage collection and reference counting while still being safe.

To anyone unaware, it may read as “rust uses reference counting to avoid reference counting, but they just call it borrow checking”. Which is objectively false, since rust’s solution doesn’t require counting references at runtime.

I don’t know what mutable string or any of the other rant has to do with reference counting. Looks like you’re just looking to catch a “rust evangelist” in some kind of trap. Without even reading what I said.

There is no reference counting if the count is always one.

The defining feature of reference counting is that its a runtime check. Which in turn results in a runtime performance.

If there is no in memory counter at runtime, nobody calls that reference counting.

“good code is better than mediocre code” definitely one of the statements of all time.

It’s more than 10 years old. It has stable syntax, big standard library, big library ecosystem, plenty of rust programs already in production.

If by “evolving” you mean “changing”, I don’t think that is an issue at all. At most, they add features. They don’t change or remove. And with the editions system, it should be no issue.

If by “evolving” you mean “improving”, then I don’t see how that could ever be an issue.

No.

A stack overflow is a symptom, not the illness. A fork bomb is an illness.

Software coming from the mathematical point of view, assummes it has infinite resources. However, a real computer has many resources that are finite.

CPU time is finite. Memory amount is finite. There is a finite number of network ports. And so on.

A stack overflow just means: “you have run out of this resource called ‘the stack’”. The stack is a region of the memory. Each thread of each process has 1 stack, and it is not infinite in size. This program will cause a stack overflow because it is infinitely recursive, and each function call will consume a bit of the stack.

A forkbomb is not the end of a finite resource. A fork bomb is a program that uses “forking” to rapidly consume system resources. A fork bomb might cause a stack overflow. Or an out of memory issue. Slow the computer a lot. Or if the OS has a hard limit for process amount, it might reach that limit.

“in 20 years” doesn’t get as much hype as “in 3 months”

Maybe if they said “in 3 months” instead we would’ve actually have had it in 20 years. Seeing how much ai attracts money with these obviously unbelievable promises.

From the makers of “fusion energy in 20 years”, “full self driving next year” and “AI will take your job in 3 months” cones “all code will be AI in 6 months”.

Trust me, it’s for real this time. The new healthcare system is 2 weeks away.

EDIT: how could I forget “graphene is going to come out of the lab soon and we’ll have transparent flexible screens that consume 0 electricity” and “researches find new battery technology that has twice the capacity as lithium”

It was years ago. So I don’t remember what exactly the problem was.

I believe ocaml has a shell interpreter and a compiler right? I managed to get the shell interpreter to work, but I couldn’t get one of these to work:

• Compiler
• LSP

The reason I prefer windows is because things just work. But it was a frustration with ocaml. Meanwhile rust was a single command for the compiler, and a single extension install for the LSP.

Rust is not fully functional. But I am legally obligated to recommend it any time I can.

Jokes aside, this doesn’t apply to you, since you seem to actively learn functional programming. But for people that are scared of it, rust looks like “normal” languages, but has tons of features that can be attributed to functional programming. Even more so if you avoid using references. You can easily “mutate” objects the functional way, by passing the object to the function, and the function creates a new object with just some value changed.

It has algebraic data types. Function pointers. Iterators. Pattern-based match statements. Don’t have class inheritance. Inmutable by default. Recursion. Monads. And probably other FP features that I’m missing.

It has basically every functional feature while having familiar syntax.

It’s also extremely easy to install. Which I didn’t use to appreciate, but then I tried to learn OCaml and had to give up because I couldn’t set up a proper dev environment on windows.

1. Why vs code web and not desktop vscode?
2. At least on the desktop version, there’s a “><” (with the “>” being higher) looking icon in the lower left corner. Click that to open remote sessions.

I don’t know if vs code web can do remote sessions. So the button might not be there

Well, the closure has a type. Just you cannot declare it. That’s why you do “impl Fn” instead. Because you know that whatever type the close is, it implements the “Fn” trait.
