Let’s play a game of “Fortunately, Unfortunately“. Respond the previous post (the first comment below this post) by replying this post (not the previous post!)
I’ll start with: “I found this website.“
An FP question: What would be a function that given any input returns itself, and how would you use it?
An application I can think of is:
#; # Comment function: any => #ahoy
exclamation humorous • nautical
a call used to greet someone or draw attention to something from a distance.
"ahoy there!"
hello
exclamation
used as a greeting or to begin a phone conversation.
"hello there, Katie!"
noun
an utterance of “hello”; a greeting.
"she was getting polite nods and hellos from people"
verb
say or shout “hello”; greet someone.
"I pressed the phone button and helloed"
As someone who uses Timed on YT a lot, I had a question regarding to the comments I see often there: Why do people tell when a 10-minute documentary should end because the point of the doc is in the beggining? They’re documentaries; of course they’re long because they document a thing on detail!
These people just shows them that they are impatient and only perceive information at face value.

There is a running joke among programmers
that production-ready software are always overengineered or verbose.
They are so bloated that using them for simple projects
would make you look ridiculous.
Things like React, Spring, Electron, and many others
are some examples of these.
Now, you could justify these verbosity for qualities
such as being modular, extendible, safer, and so on.
Others might loathe them and prefer not using them on their projects.
But I’m not talking about those.
Instead, I want to discuss about the extreme end of this coding style;
programs that do very simple tasks yet written like a typical Java library.
One popular example is FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition,
a “comedic” project visualizing what the popular computer problem
FizzBuzz would look like if it is written with unnecessary verbosity.
Or check out hello-world.rs;
another of these vanity projects, this time with just printing a string.
Overengineering comes a lot on projects,
and generally you would try to avoid them (unless if you want to)
And of course, overengineering isn’t limited to software development as well.
So what if I did that for… I don’t know…
a Minecraft auto-smelter?
[intro cutscene or whatever]
Auto-smelters are one of the simpler builds you can make on Minecraft.
It’s just a line of furnaces, each with three hoppers connected,
with the hoppers connected by more hoppers
(or a railing system if you’re smart)
and a chest for your IO.
For the past few days; now that I replayed Minecraft recently
(and pulling an all-nighter just to configure my GPU)
I made this auto-smelter just out of curiosity.
(not part of transcript)
Btw, a bit of a disclaimer. The autosmelter (or at least parts of it) is real and I’ve developed it since the last 2 days. I already have a docking station for the minecarts and a furnace module with a display on it. However, I’m getting some reliability issues with the display firing when I loaded it from the structure block and I don’t feel like fixing them since my redstone knowledge is getting kinda rusty, plus I had a self-imposed limit on my module size of 8×8 since the map can only go to size ~128×128 blocks.
I’m not sure if I want to stop developing this for now, but when it’s done I’d probably repost this post or something idk i’m so sleepy zzz
I watched Tyler playing Poly Bridge 3 so much that my perception of Poly Bridge 2 footages went from basic to primitive
Tried to make a l33t + oOo CODE + Python polyglot; went to this before giving up from lack of interest
An abnormal way to solve a 3×3: (aka. Beginner Unblindfolded)
Solve the corners
Solve edge permutation
Solve edge orientation
Solve edge permutation again
Do it with beginner algs and some more algs you found on the Speedcubers Wiki
I’m training a model on my phone
It’s frighteningly good to a point that I feared it’s overfitting
Also my phone’s battery doesn’t like it; it’s consistently at a toasty 42°C and the percentage drops really fast

The LGBT people
The JSaB fandom
Probably the Touhou fandom?

The pronoun “thon/thon’s” (short of “the one/the one’s”) is a third person gender-neutral pronoun that exists because a bunch of lawyers had a bit of a hiccup once about a woman called with a masculine pronoun.
I think it’s also a good candidate for the obviative or a “fourth person” pronoun, since “the one” could refer to a subject/object that’s less salient than the proximate.
