  • Oh, and if you really want a tough language, try Malbolge. The ratio of structured code to spaghetti code in that one is 0:1 - there are 0 instances of non-spaghetti code, and 1 instance of spaghetti code. I refuse to believe there's any more code other than the Hello World example.

  • I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. If any project in any language has well-organized code, it's down to a ton of effort.

    Assembly is harder to code in, period. It's even harder when your code is a total mess and you didn't plan ahead. For a large assembly project to survive at all, some structure is as necessary as oxygen. And not to mention, there are far fewer projects written in assembly anyway.

  • Okay, I'll grant you brainfuck... As for assembly, I don't think it's inherently spaghetti. You can split it up into functions just like you can with an actual programming language. It's not impossible to make structured code.

    That said, I never coded assembly outside of a mandatory university course, so I don't feel super confident in saying that. But I don't think of it as a programming language anyway - it's a 1:1 translation to/from machine code, and machine code isn't meant to make programming easy or scalable.

  • I firmly believe that every language has an equal proportion of spaghetti code to clean code. The only factor that might screw with this is how much a language is used in industry, which I'd expect raises the ratio. However, there's plenty of hobbyists writing spaghetti code too so I don't think even that factor has much effect.

  • Linux

  • Nice. I solved 22 (with 2 of them being unsure), there's 12 I don't know. I can only assume the multiple listings of 'List files in current directory' is a deliberate joke because you use it so much, but somehow it doesn't feel right.

    You should find a website to share it where people can play it interactively! I'm sure such websites are out there, it's too obvious.

  • On my desktop, I have it switch the color theme between dark and light based on time of day. Many apps and websites follow the system, so it applies globally, but some programs (especially coding) I override to always be dark mode.

    I used to have the same setup in my phone but I realized I hated it there, so now I'm all dark mode all the time on mobile. It's different on PC somehow.

    Note: I'm on Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop. AFAIK there is no real dark mode on Windows. There is kinda sorta a dark mode, something to do with high contrast for accessibility, but it's not useful for the average user and I don't know how many other apps follow it.

  • Zoolander. It's nice to finally see the film that created a bunch of memes, most notably "What is this? A center for ants?!"

    I can recommend it as a well-made comedy/satire. It didn't feel like anything groundbreaking. Maybe it was at the time of its release, I really don't know, but as far as I'm concerned its popularity is just luck of the draw

  • You're wrong. Amazon mixes inventory between themselves and any other seller that's fulfilled by Amazon, meaning if one random seller has fake product, then even the "sold by Amazon" option can send you that other seller's fake product. And vice versa, of course.

  • You have to get your electronics from somewhere, retailers' supply chain has a helluva lot more quality control than Amazon. Just because you can't get to 100% doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for, well, anything more than the worst chances anyone can offer.
