Bumby the Loaf @wallhackio@cat.family

@vaporeon_ yeah i reported @aescling and @Lady daily for it but they still haven't fixed it

@cam holy shit once i noticed the eggy crust i pogged irl

@vaporeon_ shit

Apparently I need to post about JavaScript more so I can salvage my legacy

@aescling @vaporeon_ reported.

@vaporeon_ even more specifically, I had to write C++ as an undergrad in college for my physics research and when reading something that the creator of the language (Rene Brun) wrote, they mentioned you could iterate over some data using a construct like the following:

for (TList&& thing: listOfThings) { /* use the thing /* }

and then Brun was like "if you're not familiar with the double ampersand syntax, its a relatively new language feature called an rvalue reference" and I was like "the fuck is an rvalue reference"

So then I started reading and then eventually got to this web page: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/value_category.html

and my poor undergraduate mind was just like o______________________________________o so I gave up on it.

But it lingered in my mind for years later as a Thing That I Could Not Understand. It ate away at me. I tried again later in grad school, only to go o______________________________________o again. Maybe this was simply beyond me.

Flash forward a couple more years and now I'm a software engineer. Then they made me do C++ for work. I'm like, "I'm more familiar with software these days maybe finally I'll undestand it" so I researched it again only to go o____________________________________o once again.

But no, this cannot be! I WILL do it!! I WILL FIND OUT!!!! So i kept at it for months afterwards and he we are.

@vaporeon_ I would much rather my legacy involve Beautiful javascript instead of Nightmare c++

@vaporeon_ I write C++ unwillingly in the pursuit of Understanding because I WILL fuck around and I WILL find out

@cam doesn't stop me and i turned out.... well perhaps you shouldn't do it actually

@vaporeon_ mentioning LLM is bad enough, but then you said i'd write C++ code. fucking reported.

@vaporeon_ @onfy ⚠️ GET REPORTED WITH THE FURY OF ONE THOUSAND SUNS. ⚠️

@onfy i write code that looks like i know how to write code except the code does not work 25% of the time

@monorail @The_T i mean yes you are correct, but you proved me wrong so get reported dummy

@cam hell yeah

I really hate object-oriented programming except for the fact that I love the Python and JavaScript programming languages

@cam yes or i will report you

@onfy @The_T @monorail I'm not at all familiar with AGS or AGI but a quick scan on wikipedia tells me they are like C, which is not object-oriented, so it makes sense you wouldn't be familiar with the concept

@The_T @monorail most other languages called this function a "constructor"

@onfy @The_T @monorail what programming languages have you used?

@onfy @The_T @monorail in case you are familiar with object-oriented programming, what you put in a "constructor" in most other languages (usually) goes in a class method called __init__ in Python
