fuck_around/find_out

As well as the yeet keyword, I'm really friggin' diggin' this. [modernisation required]

The whole thing was pretty damn good all the way through. The only thing that had me wondering was

Tea

Until it got to

SpillTea

Well played.

Yeah, I love that one.

"Try" is too hopeful. "fuck_around" makes it clear that you know what you're doing is dangerous but you're going to do it anyhow. I know that in some languages wrapping a lot of code in exception blocks is the norm, but I don't like that. I think it should be something you only use rarely, and when you do it's because you know you're doing something that's not safe in some way.

"Catch" has never satisfied me. I mean, I know what it does, but it doesn't seem to relate to "try". Really, if "try" doesn't succeed, the corresponding block should be "fail". But, then you'd have the confusion of a block named "fail", which isn't ideal. But "find_out" pairs perfectly with "fuck_around" and makes it clear that if you got there it's because something went wrong.

I also like "yeet". Partly it's fun for comedic value. But, it's also good because "throw" feels like a casual game of catch in the park. "Yeet" feels more like it's out of control, if you hit a "throw" your code isn't carefully handing off its state, it's hitting the eject button and hoping for the best. You hope there's an exception handler higher up the stack that will do the right thing, but it also might just bubble all the way up to the top and spit out a nasty exception for the user.

just what you want from code !

A perfectly reasonable language. None of this Gen Z rubbish.

Something something better times. Shakes stick at sky.

For some reason, this just sparked an ancient memory of the Geek Code, which was a sort of signature block you could append to your emails and online bios to show off how much of a geek you were in the geekiest fashion possible.

Goddamn I'm old.

Of all the gen z lingo yeet is the best.

Funnily enough, that is a keyword in rust.

(it's a placeholder to remove any bikeshedding)

Pretty sure this is from the esolang bussin

😂

Considering vibe is probalby float, I doubt any exceptions can be thrown there, you can eliminate another useless scope.

Even if it's not float, I'd consider burning alive anyone who overrides an operator like this anyway.

Honestly, that's about an inch away from Python...

I’m not so sure. Send a link.

I always thought it was "prizes"

FAFO block passes better

So you like rust https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/unstable-book/language-features/yeet-expr.html

*Gen Z assembly

Ah but maybe the vibe is a lowkey period we can't be sure

Ratio is when your comment receives less upvotes than my reply, you get ratioed.

I fucking love it. Gen Z slang is so lighthearted and fun.

Just wait till they get Lemmy on their iPads

Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:

When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then you die.

Yes, and? Get off my lawn!

That's what we Do.

It’s actually a comment on the performance loss incurred from a likely failed branch prediction.

I have many gray hairs, but here's what I know.

• Highkey and lowkey - obvious and subtle.

• fax is "facts" - true. Often in the sense of agreement.

• Fuck around and find out - do something risky and reap the consequences

• It's giving - how it makes you feel, or what it reminds you of.

• Cap and no cap - lying and telling the truth.

• Big yikes - bad, especially cringey.

• Tea - (n) gossip. (v) "spill the tea"

• Shoutout - give credit to someone. I don't think this one makes much sense here.

• Yap - talk, especially too much or unnecessarily.

• Yeet - throw, often without careful aim. (Unlike "Kobe", which is a throw with aim)

It's a method definition. C#'s standard formatting puts the left bracket brace of the method body on a new line. It's equivalent to:

private bool IsSus(){
    ...
}

C# is basically Java and from what I can tell, this looks approximately valid.

Variables can always* be named freely to your liking.

*You used to have to stick to the Latin alphabet, but that’s increasingly not the case anymore. Emoji-named variables FTW!
