You're read something written by a right wing lunatic (Wiki )

I knew there was a reason I didn't like Lisp.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I know you're memeing, but if I know my Lisp, just wrapping something in triple parens implies evaluating it three times. So you have an expression evaluating to a producer that produces another producer that finally produces a value?

I'm sure there's a legit use case for it. I just can't think of one.

What bash, that's Lisp. Source is marked as bash.

edit: seems like lemmy has a bug with quoted sourcecode? I'll leave it like this.

Have my code editor terminal lemmy etc in it.

That's a good one!

No one with Cascadia Code?

mononoki but only because the Doom Emacs config I followed when I switched to Linux used it.

Ubuntu Mono ftw!

Mine is IBM Plex Mono, but the nerdfont 'Blex' variety.

No ``` Markdown quotation marks ```

No „down-up quotation marks“

And worst of all, no marks for the 「regular attack」, 『finishing move』and

I don't get the "Someone British is talking" bit

We only use the singular ' to indicate speech within speech -

John said, "I was just speaking to Charlie, and he said 'It's not often XKCD gets things wrong', and I agreed".

I could be wrong but that's what I was taught

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The use of quotation marks, also called inverted commas, is very slightly complicated by the fact that there are two types: single quotes (` ') and double quotes (" "). As a general rule, British usage has in the past usually preferred single quotes for ordinary use, but double quotes are now increasingly common; American usage has always preferred double quotes.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

British English often uses single quotation marks to identify the outermost text of a primary quotation versus double quotation marks for inner, nested quotations.

From wiki

Huh, just shows you how I was taught the British way many years ago, but adopted the American way due to reading so many bloody books!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Old British person here, I was always taught double quotation marks for speech and single quotation marks for actually quoting something.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Pull out your closest volume of Lord of the Rings and take a look. My copy at least has single-quotes for the speech text and double-quotes are used for nested speech. I guess it might be up to the publisher (eg: my copy of Harry Potter has been "Americanized" and thus uses double-quotes for the first level of speech text), but every copy of LotR i've run across uses single-quotes.

I heard somewhere it was to save ink.

Maybe they were pulling my leg.

...I do have a favorite monospace font. Its Monaspace Krypton

Oooh, I like it (Link for anyone else who's curious)

The python function is some sort of brainfuck?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's a list with a tuple, with a list with an empty dictionary. I'm not sure the innermost parenthesis is legal there.

Edit: Well, I tested it. It's legal. {()} is just a set with an empty tuple instead of a dictionary.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

This sounds like something I would do with all of 40 hours or so of Python-esque programming under my belt. I feel like there has to be a better way, but it worked. I'm worried this might be the best way.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Ouch. If you ever catches yourself writing something like this, stop. Intermediate values deserve names too. Even Haskell developers wouldn't go into such extreme namelessness.
