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!
Don't forget the german
I only learnt what ich iel meant this week so this is totally ich iel
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/coolstorybro@sh.itjust.works 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
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.
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.

Repeat for a few thousand lines. Have a goto 1 at the bottom. It's not hard.
Edit: Yandere was a better meme when it was just bad code.
Whoa everybody look at Ms 'AI' Fancy pants here.
I have only been on the fediverse for a month but I’m pretty sure I could start my own software engineering company on the pc I just built (Linux OS, of course).
I dunno, hows your sock situation?
No one understands it. Am yet to run into something humorous.
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.
Me, who knows a smidge of CSS, "I belong here"
It's mostly "I don't understand JS, funny right?"
