arxiv.org is a thing

While you do have a fair point, I was referring to the case where one is basically implementing a map operation as a for loop.

Technically this is also possible with for loops, like with OpenMP

Compiler optimizations like function inlining are your friend.

Especially in functional languages, there are a lot of tricks a compiler can use to output more efficient code due to not needing to worry about possible side effects.

Also, in a lot of cases the performance difference does not matter.

Also surely a lot of people would know tar -Create Ze Vucking File and/or tar -Xtract Ze Vucking File

You mean that instead of having a binary blob you have a generator for the data?

Why? Cause shops are open on sunday? Having no workers rights makes that a lot easier

Hey, cis straight guy in a relationship with a trans girl here and I wanted to chip in with my experience.

Yeah, early stages of the relationship are tough because you come from completely different backgrounds. With enough time and most importantly good communication however, that challenge can certainly be overcome.

I feel like this goes for both sides though

My experience with the german healthcare system begs to differ. Bürokratie ist Deutsch und Deutsch ist Bürokratie.

You lost me at cyka

I think sweet iced tea is a different beverage from tea.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me some good sweet tea, my gf lived in the south for some years and makes a killer sweet ice tea. But I still wouldn’t classify it as tea.

Isn’t that more sweet iced tea?

You cry

Depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go :p

• creating a new variable that contains the updated value
• recursion (e.g. it’s not possible to make a loop that increments i by 1, but it is possible to turn that loop into a function which calls itself with i+1 as argument)
• avoiding typical types of operations that would update variable values. For example instead of a for loop that updates every element of a list, a functional programmer will use the map function, which takes a list and a function to apply to each element of that list to create an updated list. There’s several more of these very typical functions that are very powerful once you get used to using them.
• monads (I’m not even gonna try to explain them as I hardly grasp them myself)

I want a roof python now

Good luck reaching an unwilling horse’s eye balls

I also vaguely remember such a story but there the aliens got fukd up because when all hope was lost humans just started kamikaze-ing their ships. Spite is our superpower.

If you get prep time you could set up some traps.

Assuming both sides see it as a fight to the death, the horse will also engage so you could just run away into a bunch of traps. All you need is for the horse to injure a leg in one trap and it’s done for. I think even just some holes with a couple spikes would be enough to injure and maybe even sprain an ankle.

Without prep time you’re pretty doomed, I think your best bet is either climbing up a tree to buy you some prep time to make a spear out of the branches or worst case diving in, aiming to do damage to its legs (unlikely) and hope you are able to get out without being trampled (unlikely)
