It’s okay if you don’t understand.
All you need to do is say “Rust” and “memory safety” a lot and join us at the crab rave.
If you ever see a news article about hacking or an exploit, or a major service go down, you just say tsk-tsk they should have used memory safe Rust, and your comment will be as informative as 80% of other comments.
If you see somebody talking about a CVE just remind them that it has never been seen in the wild.
should have used memory safe Rust
I’ve seen those words before!
Haha JavaScript am I right? 💀💀💀

I thought it was “Rust” and “furry”
That is correct. However Unixporn and furry are more common
I did that yesterday and somebody thought I knew Rust lol. I barely know what it means to be safe.
Don’t forget the german

There does seem to be a significant German contingent on Lemmy, as there was on Reddit. I have a very in-my-head Reddit moment I need to share.
Remember when “The Nations of the World brought to you by Yakko Warner” was a meme and people were making all kinds of permutations of it? I saw one that was like “the nations of the world if Germany won WWII” which was basically “Germany Germany Germany Germany Portugal Spain, Spain, Germany, Germany…”
On the most recent r/place I remember, the Germans had a habit of taking their tricolor flag all the way across the canvas, which made me think “Germany Germany Germany Germany” in Yakko Warner’s voice.
c/[email protected] or however Lemmy links work I still don’t know.
Lemmy links work with an exclamation mark:
Edit: the link still doesn’t work, sorry
Probably because that community doesn’t exist.
They’re a nation of 85 million tech loving smart people. They’ll be all over Lemmy.
84 million, and literally half of them are over 43, so not exactly a trailblazer population.

PHP says “ja”, Js says no.
That’s so yaml
I bet they program in HTML!
Bro your account 420 years old?
Lol, you are right
I was here when time started.
If I’m seeing this correctly it’s really 420 years from existing which is wild!
Stop trying to make YAML happen, it’s not going to happen!
Sorry. I couldn’t read your comment because the spacing was off.
Your tiny mind just can’t comprehend the vast meaning in my whitespace.
As long as I’m at the Helm, it’s still on the menu!
And Star Trek
c/Risa is inevitable, you should just start watching Star Trek.
I started watching Deep Space 9, it’s pretty interesting so far. But I only realized halfway through the first season that it wasn’t the one with Patrick Stewart or the bearded guy that says “Didn’t happen.”
How far into Deep Space 9 are you? If you find it interesting now you’ll probably thoroughly enjoy seasons 5-7.
If you want to try watching the Patrick Stewart one (The Next Generation) I suggest starting with the pilot / first episode, then the season 2 episode “Measure of a Man” and then watch all episodes starting with season 3 onward. Keep in mind The Next Generation chronologically comes before Deep Space 9.
i’m not that far in at all, I just got to the episode where someone named Luxanna Troi shows up, and I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to know who she is judging by how the narrative is treating her lol. I’m assuming she’s from the Original series or Next Generation? I’m probably going to watch the older series after I finish DS9, unless the ending is like…Game of Thrones levels of bad.
And yeah, the whole setup for the series is so interesting to me. Commander Sisko shows up to this dilapidated space port to help a formerly colonized people reestablish themselves. But like…he’s also alien god’s messenger…or something?
I didn’t realize it was going to have a religious slant, but the clear setup of the clash of ideologies of the Federation, Bajor, whatever Quark is and…um…the Kardashians (🤦♀️)? It’s already proving to be really cool. I’m excited to see where it goes.
Yeah a lot of stuff in Deep Space 9 is setup throughout The Next Generation, in a way it’s a spin-off of TNG. Lwaxana Troi is the mother of one of the main characters on TNG, for example. (random fact: the actor is also the widow of the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry). She also acted on the original series, but played a different character.
There is definitely a religious slant throughout the show, especially when it comes to the Bajorans or Sisko, but generally doesn’t act as a deus ex machina plot device. Okay I can think of one plot point of the top of my head where it’s a bit deus ex machina, but it’s still very enjoyable and arguably makes sense within the context of the entirety of the show. Overall I’d say the Bajoran / wormhole alien religion plays an important part in the show, but more for setting / theme and less for major plot points, and in episodes where it is a plot construct it is well done and makes sense in-universe, unlike some other shows I can think of (like Battlestar Galactica).
Have you been introduced to the Cardassian named Garak yet? In my humble opinion Garak (and Gul Dukat, whom you’ve already met) are some of the best characters ever written for TV. The character development over the seasons is organically great, for most of the characters, really.
There is an overall main story spread out throughout the show, which I think doesn’t really kick into full gear until season 4 I think? Deep Space 9 is different from the other Star Trek shows in that the other shows generally don’t have an overarching story, each episode is more or less self-contained, which made DS9 quite the radical contrast at the time it was released.
Yes Garak has been introduced already, and his relationship with Bashir! He seems very complex, and your high opinion of him has me intrigued! I can definitely start to see the threads of the overarching story (I think) with Sisko and the Bajoran religion, and something with the Cardassians (thank you for sharing the correct spelling).
All the replies here have me excited about what’s to come!
Lwaxana is a great character if you’re familiar with TNG, she’s good on DS9 too but much better if you know more about her.
DS9 gets much better as you go on. The characters get better, and the plot gets quite good. You just have to get used to the long seasons compared to modern shows (but they make for great as meme fodder).
The ending is not like GoT, I liked it.
Sounds like I’ll be watching Next Generation after I finish DS9.
I watched Lower Decks and am also tempted to jump on the Star Trek binge, if only to rewatch Lower Decks again and better catch all of the references.
Granted, I caught a lot of them just by being someone who has used the internet for my entire adolescent through adult life, but I know there’s a lot more good stuff out there to enjoy.
I am really enjoying DS9 tbh. It’s an older show so maybe the aesthetics aren’t as clean, but it’s been making me contemplate a lot of larger social issues that I don’t really think about. Also kind of weirdly relevant in today’s times.
I don’t know about any of the other series, but Next Generation was technically the one I watched was trying to watch, so I’ll eventually get to it. Maybe I should have done release date order.
It hasn’t been remastered like some of the other shows, so the quality is on par with a VHS tape or early DVD.
VHS tape
As a Buffy fan I think this is perfectly acceptable quality

Same. I’m confused by it.
But at least it’s different from the thousands of “PHP bad” memes.
Fake it 'til you make it.
And you can greatly boost learning by applying Cunningham’s Law.
Cunningham’s Law.
“the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.”
Famously, and in formal completion of Cunningham’s law disapproval. Cunningham has never said that, and actually disagrees with the aphorism, he’s been quoted qualifying it as a misquote and a proof of misinformation spread on the internet in complete self-defeating disprove.
I hear you, but I choose to ignore this info.
I expected a Rick Roll there.
Me: “Cunningham’s law says the best way to get a correct answer online is to post an incorrect one and wait to be corrected.”
Cunningham: “Uhm ackshually”
Me: …
There’s also Poe’s law about conservation of energy.

try { const joke = allProgrammingJokes[Math.floor(Math.random() * allProgrammingJokes.length)]; if (!getJoke(joke)) { throw new Error("Joke not understood"); } } catch (error) { console.log("lol *upvotes*"); } function getJoke(joke) { // This function is intentionally flawed to always return false. // It's a part of the joke! return false; }
allProgrammingJokes[Math.floor(Math.random() * allProgrammingJokes.length)]
This might throw array index out of bounds errors.
ECMAScript spec says Math.random must be less than 1. I was about to stop there, but a thought occurred to me: could the multiply with a float make a number large enough to floor to a different value for large enough values? 🤔
I imagine it’d have to be a ridiculously large number to amount enough floating point imprecision to matter, if so.
