@wallhackio @SportsGoblin i read this to @Satsuma and they said “this could describe any sport; that’s how they all work”

@wallhackio are you saying you have some or you want some

@coriander i think the problem is mostly just interference on the radio side and not anything on the engine side but i am not an electrical engineer

@coriander radios can interfere with the electronics of electric vehicles if you don’t do them right and a lot of EV manufacturers do not care enough to do them right and would rather leave out the radio

@aescling @wallhackio anyway the only graceful handling of an impossible situation is a fatal error i·e immediate termination of the program. the very existence of the exception implies that the situation is both possible and foreseen

@aescling @wallhackio bitch just have your compiler return Maybe<AST> instead of exploding

@monorail @aescling there aren’t any regulations on names (except maybe on which characters you can use) so people can pick basically any characters and give them basically any pronunciation which obviously makes things difficult; many names have large numbers of valid spellings, for example Wikipedia gives 始, 治, 初, 一, 元, 肇, 創, 甫, 基, 哉, 啓, 本, 源, 東, 大, 孟, or 祝 as possible spellings for “Hajime”

because Light is an English word normally it would be written ライト. but if you write it like that it looks like a foreign name, so Light’s mom could have spelled it in hiragana, like らいと. but hiragana names are feminine-coded and informal, so she decided to just pick a kanji for it. she could have used 光, which is the japanese word for light (hikari, also a given name), but she wanted to be more symbolic about it. so she picked the character for moon, 月 (tsuki, which is ALSO used as a female given name).

of course she could have just not named her kid an english word… but…

@monorail @aescling in japan for names in particular how things are written only very very loosely correlated to how they are pronounced

@aescling what are exit codes and shell “if” statements if not throws and catches
