Nobody has ever told the epic tale of the #number#zero: First, in their travels around the Indian Ocean coast, Arabs learned the word “ṣifr” in India, from śūnya (Sanskrit: शून्य) ...Keep reading here: https://mapologies.com/counting/
I’m studying programming, and I don’t agree woth my teacher. She basically said that if we use break (and continue too maybe) our test is an instant fail. She’s reasoning is that it makes the code harder to read, and breaks the flow of it or something. (I didn’t get her yapping tbh)...
Okay, I want to clarify two different but highly similar syntaxes: break; and break 3;. The latter syntax of break #number is fucking awful and you should never use it. In most languages it’ll only count loops and not conditionals so it can be extremely hard to tell how many levels of indentation you’re unrolling and it’s probably a code smell about having an overly complex function anyway.
However, good old single level break and continue are awesome and useful for making it really clear what preconditions exist in complex situations when looping. It’s much easier to read a series of elementary if break statements than one single gigantic if statement with half a dozen conditions.
Most tools in our toolbox are useful… oh, except goto (unless you’re programming in assembly language). Fuck goto.

Je compte écrire tous les nombres entiers de zéro à l'infini en toutes lettres en anglais 🇬🇧 et par ordre alphabétique.
Le premier nombre est donc « eight ».
Quel est le deuxième dans la liste❓
L'avant-dernier dans la liste❓
Le dernier dans la liste❓
PS: chose savoureuse ici, c'est que dans une liste infinie d'éléments, il est possible d'indiquer les 2 premiers et les 2 derniers !
Merci de BOOSTER/partager + répondre en mode CW pour ne pas spoiler.

Il y a un seul nombre qui lorsqu'il est écrit en anglais🇬🇧, toutes les lettres le constituant sont classées par ordre alphabétique.
Quel est ce nombre ❓(justifiez son unicité)

I'm going to have a bit of a #tech#rant (less charitable people might say #whine) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.
Object of my #ire this week? #Furnaces. I'm not even going to rant about their main control boards; most of that's been said better than I could say it, by others with more knowledge than I.
So of course each furnace line has a different (in my case) #Rheem#part#number for the motor, even though all of them are actually the same 1/2 HP GE motor and controller -- they've just had different #settings "blown" into them.
And if you try to use the "wrong" motor from another furnace, the control board says "no way!" and won't work.
So Rheem gets to keep #selling#parts that are #exclusive only to them, and only for one model of furnace, so they're stupidly #expensive.
Massachusetts joins a growing #number of states adopting universal free #schoolmeals.
Governor Maura Healey called the school lunch program “an investment in childhood nutrition that’s also removing a source of stress from our schools and our homes.”
Il y a un an, je gravissais les pavés du Mur de Grammont, au milieu d'un corridor de spectateurs, à la lueur de torches enflammées, au départ de la Transcontinental Race, pour 4000 bornes à vélo. #tcrno9
Ce soir, à 22 heures, d'autres sont partis dans la nuit pour une nouvelle édition. Direction la Suisse, puis la Slovénie, l'Albanie et la Grèce pour finir.

"TeleSign verifies over five billion unique phone numbers per month, representing half of the world’s mobile users."
WTF
"While there are some situations where personal data can be used for security purposes without consent, the secret use of telecommunication data on the majority of all global mobile phone users is not in line with EU and national data protection law."
Real quick question about the "break"

I learned I must dial a number to change the number of rings on my phone. (techshift.net)
Why isn't this under settings?
