Unironically a great example for explaining the difference between 0 and null
Sadly, it’s not. The other three churn out books riddled with the n-word daily.
great example of the difference between Some(0) and None
There are different kinds of non-number “values” for numeric variables. Is this
∞,Overflow,NaNorN/A?I’m a JavaScript girl, I only know about null and undefined. But my guess would be
N/A, just by method of elimination?∞: They said the N-word, but if we ask “did they say the N-word yesterday?” and go back a day if the answer is no, we will be iterating forever.
Overflow: They said the N-word sometime before Jan 1st 1970.
NaN: Days since the last time they said the N-word: “yes”🎵 I’m a Java girl in a Java world…
Sadly, JavaScript breaks the cadence :(
There are actually two interpretations of
N/A:N/A(not available): There is lost media so it can’t be evaluated.N/A(not applicable): The show is in sign language so evaluating that is outside the scope of this string-matching program.
Meanwhile,
undefinedseems to mean the value has not yet been evaluated. Maybenullis really the best.All these special values are from the spec for floating point numbers, integers don’t have them, in JS specifically all numbers are floats.
An
Option<int>does a good of showing intent.
I mean,
NaNimplies there exists some value, it’s just not a numerical one.nullsays there is none at all.
Ah yes, “Thomas says the N-word by accident, while singing a rap song” episode, my favorite.
Thomas the Dank Engine
💀
THOMAS THE DAAAAANK ENGINE!!!
😅 😂 😂
This song will always live in my head rent free
Just so you know; there’s a bunch of gangster rap songs that fit the tune and they can be found on youtube.
byob by system of a down fits too
I’m so happy to see this posted in the wild
I’ve got a whole collection of dank songs saved on soundcloud. it really was a great soundclown scene 5-10 years ago, there’s some truly great stuff in there
I’d imagine anyone involved with that decision is dead today. Granted thats around 75 years ago. Still a crazy stat though. Mr. Roger’s TILL I DIE.
The intent and impact of the word was a lot different back then, certainly so outside of the US, but still, using a subset of humanity as a stand-in for an adjective is pretty grim stuff. Shows how little was thought of them. Like if the characters had instead become white from a flour mill explosion, it’s unlikely they’d have been described as being “as white as scampering little crackers”.
There was that Barney coloring book that advocated for blood orgies but they caught it and recalled it fairly quick
Please, tell me more.
Awesome now I have to hate Thomas the Tank Engine
Eh, pretty sure it’s referring to books published around 1945, after WWII (273242 days is ~75 years) so of course it’s going to contain inherently racist shit. I don’t think one should hate a whole series because it wasn’t talking about civil rights and equality in an era where those barely existed unless you were a white man. Heck, if Thomas & Friends was talking about that it probably would’ve been banned.
And you didn’t already hate them for the dark and depressing messages they made by saying if your friends or family get old and unable to take care of themselves, the best way to deal with them is to seal them in a concrete tomb still alive, and let them die in there as they cry out in horror?
That part never struck a chord with you?
No that made perfect sense as someone whose retirement plan is wandering into the wilderness.
Your friends and family are railway locomotives?
If your friends aren’t down for trains, are they really your friends?
You guys are getting paid?
If I were a train in the Thomas the Tank world I would be.
The franchise was originally started by an avowed fascist … and it really shows through sometimes.
You sound like you don’t want to produce capital for your overlords, time to be sealed into a railway tunnel and left to rot. I bet ringo starr would even say you deserved it.
How was this posted before the Ringo Starr porn comment?? Is this a thing???
Citation needed. He was a committed pacifist following his Brother’s death in WWI.
For the love of god, Montresor!
sorry
Lol what
And it wasn’t either of the yank ones.
He’s old and senile so he gets a pass … right?
No.
Sorry… forgot the /s.
I figured since this was lemmy it would be apparent
Edit: just checked the community this post is in. It DEFINITELY should’ve been apparent
Oh boy. Here come the cancel train again
