A great point in favour of maps is that each iteration is independent, so could theoretically be executed in parallel. This heavily depends on the language implementation, though.

shove some text into stdout

That’s not what this operator does normally, and if you try to “shove” something into anything else (an int into a variable? a function into an object?) you’ll get surprises… Basically it’s “special” and nothing else in the language behaves like it. Learning hello world in C++ teaches you absolutely nothing useful about the language, because it doesn’t generalize.

C, in contrast, has many instances of complex functions like printf (another commenter mentioned variable arguments), and learning to call a function is something very useful that generalizes well to the rest of the language. You also learn early enough that each different function has its own “user manual” of how to use it, but it’s still just a function call.

this std::cout << "hello world" bullshit is in no way intuitive. You’re using the bit-shift operator to output stuff to the console? WTF? Why 2 colons? What is cout? And then these guys go on to complain about JS being weird…

No, C is where it’s at: printf("hello world"); is just a function call, like all the other things you do in C.

Meanwhile I actually studied computer engineering, but can’t legally call myself an engineer (yay Québec).

In most jurisdictions the protected title is “professional engineer”, but here it’s just “engineer”.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

I might’ve very well glanced over it, but the point is that I missed it when it’s probably the most important one. Why is it added when you do ctrl-f but not when clicking?

EDIT: Actually, it doesn’t show it until you actually type in the box:

It shows you all the filters except the one for the channel…

Having tried it, search is horrible. You have to look up the help to even know how to filter the search to a specific channel, by default it searches the whole server. I never managed to find anything, I had to ask again instead…

Yeah, I once discovered an artist, even bought some albums, only to notice about a year later that the place I discovered them was now blocked in my country. If I would’ve come a year later, I would never have bought these albums.

Someone posted a pretty good guide on Lemmy about 1-2 months ago, I think it was on the selfhosted community. Maybe take a look there?

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
