Are you telling me that no compiler optimizes this? Why?

Nothing you’ve said is wrong, but (at least in the screenshot) the OP didn’t say anything about it being used in anything official. It’s a relatively common term in everyday language thanks to medical dramas which use coding a lot, and it’s even in the Merriam-Webster medical dictionary.
Not to invalidate what you’ve said! Just pointing out that it not being used in official contexts doesn’t make it nonsense to use elsewhere, like on some forum.
Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•What helps people get comfortable on the command line?7·1 month agoMaybe controversial, but the fish shell. I know it’s not strictly bash syntax, but the OOTB features are just so user-friendly. The most helpful features for learning: the autocomplete (with descriptions of subcommands and flags!) and the fuzzy history search.
I write bash scripts all the time, and am significantly more knowledgeable than anyone else on my team (admittedly frontend) because I got comfortable in fish.

Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•DAE feel like DuckDuckGo is now just as good as google for the vast majority of searches?2·3 months agoI have the same situation. DDG has a feature where you can write “!g query” and search for “query” on Google. I use that as a fallback whenever DDG fails to yield good results - it’s super easy!
Honestly, good security instincts by your dad though. If you’re not technical enough to understand the risks, you probably shouldn’t be connecting to random servers
Or looking for asexual men! Not all asexual men are aromantic, which sounds to me like what you’re looking for - someone who wants a romantic relationship but not sex. Or maybe someone demisexual - interested in sex, but only with someone they already have romantic feelings with.
Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which graphical system utlities you miss on Linux?3·6 months agoAnother really helpful tool is to use the fish shell instead of bash. It has tons of useful features, but my favorite is by far the autocomplete. It parses man pages to provide suggestions for flags, subcommands, even passed arguments, and each item in the results list has a description, and it’s all searchable by hitting shift+tab.
That’s what leveled up my cli game from 0-100. It’s a massive difference in usability and discoverability. And unlike things like nushell, it’s close enough to bash that you won’t feel confused if you have to use bash instead.

My best recommendation is a good git GUI. I really like Gitkraken (proprietary & freemium unfortunately, but a pretty generous free plan). I’m now more advanced than many of my coworkers because it helped me form an intuitive understanding of git.

Tekhne@sh.itjust.worksto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Ubisoft insists yet again that its uncanny AI-generated 'NEO-NPCs' will make games 'more alive and richer', whatever that means1·1 year agoI disagree that procedural generation makes games more boring and repetitive. I think it depends on the game and how the procedural generation is implemented. Look at Noita for example - uses lots of procedural generation, mixed with some handcrafted elements, and it’s really fun! Terraria, another similar formula.
Not my cup of tea, but a lot of people love No Man’s Sky for that reason - it’s fun to explore the crazy combinations.
The original Elite was procedurally generated IIRC, and from what I understand it was super fun (before my time though).

In a world where your IDE and maybe also compiler should warn you about using unicode literals in source code, that’s not much of a concern.
VSCode (and I’m sure other modern IDEs, but haven’t tested) will call out if you’re using a Unicode char that could be confused with a source code symbol (e.g. i and ℹ️, which renders in some fonts as a styled lowercase i without color). I’m sure it does the same on the long equals sign.
Any compiler will complain (usually these days with a decent error message) if someone somehow accidentally inserts an invalid Unicode character instead of typing
==
.
These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list…
No, it only has an integrated html previewer. They removed the full integrated browser because it was unnecessary and an actual browser did the trick
