Read his hypocrite #blablabla from Elon;

Our “algorithm” is overly complex & not fully understood internally. People will discover many silly things , but we’ll patch issues as soon as they’re found!
We’re developing a simplified approach to serve more compelling tweets, but it’s still a work in progress. That’ll also be "open source".
What he really means is volunteer work,
He hopes to earn your trust. Really????
Haha.
Consider this;
Have you considered that you probably fired the people who understood it internally Elon "not so smart" Musk!?

✨ Rust challenge explained

Ans: C. It never reaches the prints statement. It goes in an infinite loop 😲

But, how? Let's break down

👉 End value is 0xfffffff which is 268435455.0. it is not very important here. So let's remove it and simplify the code with a constant 20,000,000.0 end value

👉 `f` value stops increasing(round upped) after value 16777216.0 when you add just 1.0 🤯

👉 To know why,you have to understand how the f32 is stored. Float is not stored as simple as integer

👉 f32 uses IEEE 754 format to store the value

👉 Larger f32 number loses accuracy

In a 32 bit float (any language not just rust):

👉 1st bit is used for sign identification (positive or negative)
👉 Following 8 bits used for exponent
👉 Next 23 bits used for storing mantissa 🙃

You can see more here, how it is calculated

In 1931, #Gödel published his famous #IncompletenessTheorems:
• A consistent system of logic is incomplete
• Such a system cannot prove its own consistency

I wonder how #programmers might profitably apply these theorems in their next meeting with the #management….

Continuing on my #cpp rant of sorts, which may not be useful for new #programmers or not.

There seems to be lots of way to achieve the same outcome. E.g. printing, file i/o; and imagine this is because it is a much older language.

For instance I'm using `printf` in my main program by `cin >>` (is there a better way?) and `ofstream` to write files.

The equivalent in Python would be print(), input(), open() - with the use of CPython for speed

Hi! My name is Andrew. Time for an #introduction methinks.

I am a software engineer and photographer, currently based in Cambridge, England.

My main hobbies are film photography and running. I love watching movies, especially in the cinema. I love post-punk, dreampop and experimental hip hop. I love drinking good coffee, good beer and good whisky. I am also a passionate self-hoster, and like to think that I'm at least somewhat privacy conscious.

A troubling trend in IT education is the modern #programmers' propensity to learn #programming from introductory #blog posts.

These short posts are written by IT coders for other coders. These posts invariably attempt to map JavaScript #syntax to Haskell, F#, Reason, and other functional languages known to be favoured by BigIT.

The fact is, all modern functional languages have essentially the same #syntax—sugared 𝜆-calculus. And knowing the syntax does not make one fluent in that language.

To learn a language, one must learn its #semantics, idioms, and community cultures; must learn to write small programmes in that language from #books written by the language designers and the prominent members of the language's community; and must apply that knowledge to large, practical projects.

#programmers

Ordinary #programmers believe that their only task is to write code. Good programmers believe that the code they write must be correct, efficient, maintainable, and communicative to other programmers. Great programmers do not merely believe, they actually practise all that.

#Twitter owner #tyrant #liar #sociopath #Elon not so
"free speech" #Musk is again in the news, Twitter hasn’t paid its #Slack bill. But that’s not why Slack went down: someone at Twitter manually shut off access, we’re told. #Platformer was not able to learn the reason prior to publication, though the move suggests Musk may have turned against the communication app.
#Developers, #programmers and #managers were fired without notice!!!! and couldn't log in to their workspace!
Slack was down Musk said, due to routine maintenance. “There is no such thing as ‘routine maintenance.’ That’s bullshit.” a Slack employee told us.
So its more #lies by #billionaire and ruthless #business #psycho Musk

#Programmers can now format their code in any reasonable way they please. As a logical extension to this, they should be allowed to use any reasonable syntax that suits their fancy.

A #compiler front end can present a coherent mix of synthetic alternatives and generate custom languages on the fly. All modern languages have the same semantics, anyway. So, this tool—aided by the IDE, the annotated abstract syntax tree, and the LLVM virtual instruction set—may yet end the senseless language wars.

So. I have a #developer question as it relates to #blind and vision impaired #programmers. What's the current status for blind developers wanting to create #accessible applications, particularly across platforms? I know there's WxWidgets and support libraries for creating #gui applications, but what about creating for #Apple #macOS and #iOS? #Programming

I know senior-level #programmers whose preferred learning media are StackOverflow snippets, YouTube 10-minute instructional videos, and fellow coders' personal blogs—in that order. They have not read a #ComputerScience textbook since they were forced to read one in college, some two decades prior.

While this approach maybe expedient in the short term (it gets the job done), it is detrimental in the long run (it makes their brains "done blowed up real good").

So, #ChatGPT, you think you will replace us #programmers soon? Perhaps one day, my lad; but not yet.

Meanwhile, here’s a typical “human activity” you may wish to try: write a compiler for a new #progrramming language based on pairs of example programmes, one written in that new language and the other a semantic equivalent written in an existing language.

I wish all the takes on how current tools like #ChatGPT won’t replace #designers / #writers / #programmers / etc would put the argument through the capitalist lens, not just the quality lens.

Cost saving has always been a huge part of #capitalism and corporate culture. It’s not about whether these tools produce work as good as or better than us; it’s about whether a company is willing to trade off quality with cost savings and increased scale. History shows us that many are.

One day, #programming language tools will become mature enough to enable #programmers to write in any reasonable, internally consistent syntax—much like they format their code anyway they please using formatting tools, today. IDE, assisted by lexer, parser, and typer, will automatically convert that code to the annotated abstract syntax tree for consumption by a common backend, like the LLVM.

I just hope that we get there before that no-good, fibbing ChatGPT pushes us out of business.

There exists no perfect #programming language, for each is a compromise designed for a particular purpose. And like all #programmers, I have my own favourites and bugbears.

When I program in LISP, Scheme, C, Smalltalk, ML, OCaml, or Haskell, I smile and say, "What brilliance!".

As for FORTRAN, Pascal, Objective-C, Python, Ruby, Scala, Swift, and TypeScript, I suffer them in silence with equanimity.

But when I am forced to use C++, Java, Kotlin, Rust, or JavaScript, I scream, "What nonsense!".

So apparently #ElonMusk has decided that he's not going to let people put #bots on #Twitter for free anymore... Which I expect is going to cause another influx in the #TwitterMigration for all the admins to deal with, when another major content stream is shut down.

In the meantime, to maximize the force of this next surge, we should be trying to get #bot #developers / #programmers to port their bots over here. I'm wondering if anyone in #botdev has any good guides or automated tools on how to port a bought that was built to post on Twitter to post on Mastodon instead.

Can anyone link some stuff in a reply, and we can get something together to start spreading around on Twitter, to maximize the number of bots that get ported?
