Well I think the original comic achieves more than the barest effort then. We have the setup (why seatbelt on plane?), the vaguely dark-humoured explanation, the absurdist ‘oh ok that makes sense’ as the punchline (where, y’ know, a lot of the humour is because so many people identify with that ‘i don’t care if the truth is dark I just want to know’ idea). Anyway. Not lazy.

So would you consider it, potentially… lazy?

And you think that’s… High effort?

Most do though

How… How do you think most jokes work?

That doesn’t look like a particularly difficult challenge? Like, it’s just an implementation game, move returns a data type that you write yourself

Edit: I suppose there’s life in that kind of ambiguous variation though

This is excellent content

Indeed I am. Forgot the name, lol, not worked with rust for a few months 😅

Type guards, then :) very cool, much compiler power, love it

Rust isn’t really a language that lends itself to terse point-free functional idioms… The sort of examples I might want to share would probably require a bit more context, certainly more code. Like I think type guards and arena allocation are cool and useful tricks but I don’t think I could write a neat little example showing or motivating either

Oh my god I didn’t know it was still up anywhere. I regret not getting a copy of the book way back when but I was a student and had no money. It was a very good comic.

I’m a simple man. I see midnight commander, I think ‘dang, I need to use it more, stop calling me out’

But how do you write your awk script?

'spose that’s true enough

This is why I like strong type systems with exhaustivity checks

Apparently they can’t read their own survey results because DevEx is clearly the highest paid category there but they think it’s SRE and cloud

I never got the impression Michelle even wanted to run, and frankly I’m not impressed by the notion that the best candidate was a wife of a previous victor. Didn’t work out terribly well last time, and not actually particularly great credentials on their own

I’m not sure how subtle discworld really is 🤣

No, no. I’d listen to that argument
