@Satsuma @wallhackio the first time i watched it i did the whole thing in like three days but sats doesn’t have that level of tolerance for bullshit

@wallhackio we are still watching the same show

@wallhackio fyi if you’re doing javascript that f`string` is shorter than f("string")

@aescling but you do like gender euphoria

@aescling @wallhackio most of my friends in college were attempted or real math majors also

@wallhackio the ones who just spend all day doing linear algebra or complex derivatives are ok

@wallhackio @aescling i stand by my claim that this is a clearly math major thing to do though

@wallhackio @aescling this answers my original question, “why would you calculate something the computer gives you as a compile time constant”

@aescling @wallhackio if i was going to pick a problem to solve by reading and parsing a comment from the source code i wouldn’t pick one that was trivially already solved by other means, because that fails to demonstrate anything meaningful or interesting about the technique, except that it is obviously a worse solution

@aescling @wallhackio i’m just going to assume the both of you are math majors at heart and are really into proofs that demonstrate things that have already been resolutely proven but with a weirder set of steps this time

@wallhackio why would you calculate something the computer gives you as a compile time constant

@wallhackio i am the code you are writing, i am glorious and stupid

@wallhackio this sounds like a lie perpetuated by IDE manufacturers to sell more IDE’s

@wallhackio you call it a rare situation. i call it another day in the life of a software programmer
