That's way less clunky than other ways to detect those languages, this is unequivocal progress! Also lol.

Oh I thought I saw something about C23 changing auto to do proper type inference, so I assumed the tweet was about that.Xarn posted:Nah, that's one of the worse ones. The best one (e.g. because it hasn't been deprecated, nor does it rely on compiler backcompat support) is taking sizeof 'a'. Ok that one is better.

QuarkJets posted:"pad" is standard vernacular for "append data to the leading and/or trailing edge of some other data". Other terms like "fill" are used sometimes but "pad" is probably the one I most commonly see (it was a left-pad joke)

You could allow access to the tutorial before showing a login screen. Or move it to the Game Over screen as a "save your progress so you don't have to redo this?" kinda thing. Or investigate creating an anonymous/local-only account by default and allow the player to flesh it out whenever.

Absurd Alhazred posted:I can see tons of security, gameplay, server/client balance, and netcode ramifications just looking at these possibilities. Not decisions that I'd expect a UI person to come to and then design around (although obviously a good team would seek input from UI for any and all decisions, same as any department). All good points that would come up in a discussion when the UI person says "hey this is not an ideal new player experience, are any of these directions worth exploring?" Or everyone assumes the login wall is the only way and no discussion happens because things might be hard, I guess.

Red Mike posted:My bad, it looks like they fixed the boolean/all values specifically enumerated edge cases. That doesn't change that the entire approach is trying to do what is basically classes and sub-classing, except it's doing it via interfaces (duck-typing) and unions. Sure, you can do it, but that's not the right tool for the job. Highlighted by the fact that they deliberately had to add handling for these cases and are unable to handle the general case. Because it's the wrong tool for the job. It's been awhile since I spent serious time in TypeScript (or JavaScript), but promoting class inheritance and decrying literal types seems to entirely miss the point of TypeScript. Maybe your problem isn't wrong tool for the job, it’s that you've actually got a different job on your hands?

I vaguely remember some parts of CS courses structured as "you know that thing you've been using this whole time? Now you're gonna implement it yourself!" Gave some motivation that was missing from "you're gonna need this someday so just do it now".

dougdrums posted:I think the idea is that if you kept typing, then the result isn't what you wanted, which is dumb as hell because you would have to finger-peck for it to bring up results in time for you to read them as you typed anyways That was my guess too. "Hey we're returning results within 1ms, we can do this!" Cut to responses no longer appearing within 1ms.

The common advice to move to another language when a script gets complicated is not bad advice. But the steadfast refusal to learn the second thing about one's tools continues to be impressive. sh is a mildly esoteric programming language, it's not some impenetrable wall. If you get the vapours at the sight of an at sign, maybe that's on you.

I've seen leading (or trailing, lol c++) underscore as a marker for "private" in all the languages mentioned so far. Seemed common to me, though not at all universal.MrMoo posted:It’s wrong in most languages as an underscore prefix is reserved for the compiler vendor C++ contains multitudes but calling it "most languages" is a bit much.

It's entirely possible to make a website usable on phones with very little css and using, heaven forfend, tables. Sounds like they just did a bad job.Nalin posted:I maintain a code-base written in the early to mid 2010's that uses <table>. It's also ASP.NET WebForms and they do fun stuff like not closing the <td> or <tr> tags so I always wonder how the heck it will decide to render things. The rendering engine seems to be able to handle the malformed HTML, but that is only the case until the day in the future when it decides to choke. Handling unclosed/malnested/etc. elements is exhaustively and extensively standardized, there's no technical reason to "fix" it. Though I totally get how annoying it would be, I'd add them too

Yikes that scheduling site is brutal. There were a few years there before flex and grid where people were all "you can't use tables for layout, you must use these display and float and position tricks" that made a hilariously underwhelming case for css. I don't fault anyone for using tables for layout in that era.

Bruegels Fuckbooks posted:i am a big fan of functional programming (which is also something that I didn't learn in college) but I feel that restricting for loops is getting lost in the sauce (unless the objection is that for loops require declaring an variable as an iterator). Something like "we're trying to teach recursion so no for loops please" seems pretty reasonable? OP the real answer is figure out how to obfuscate the for loops to bypass the for loop detector.
