Semantic satiation. Or whatever it's called, i think ive officially lost it after reading this

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 5 points 2 months ago

I read the code like half a dozen times and my brain hurts.

Is "main" a valid Java identifier?

yes

package main;

public class main {

    static main main;
    String Main;

    main(String main) {
        Main = main;
    }

    main(main main) {
        System.out.println(main.Main);
    }

    main main(main main) {
        return new main(main);
    }

    public static void main(main...Main) {
        main:
        for (main main : Main) {
            main = (main instanceof Main) ? new main(main): main.main(main);
            break main;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        main = new main("main");
        main.main(main, main);
        main = main.new Main(main) {
            main main(main main) {
                return ((Main)main).main();
            }
        };
        main.main(main);
        main.main(main,main);
    }

    abstract class Main extends main {
        Main(main main) {
            super("main");
        }

        main main() {
            main.Main = "Main";
            return main;
        }
    }
}

Main, obviously.

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

This is your main on drugs 🍳

I can see how this may be useful. My understanding is that this is go lang and the person created a wrapper type UUID and this function takes the go standard library uuid.UUID and returns the wrapped UUID.

The wrapped UUID could be useful as you can then define methods for it like toInt() or something to make it implement some ID interface you have set up. It's a common pattern in go to create a thin wrapper around an imported type so you can implement all the methods required for some interface you defined. It does make naming those thin wrappers hard because what are you supposed to name the struct that just contains a uuid?

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 17 points 2 months ago

Yep, that person would be me and that's exactly what I was doing, just found it funny that there was so many uuids in the piece of code.

Originally the function was named FromUuid but I couldn't resist renaming it to make it even better.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Clearly, the answer is uuid.

New Dutch programming language just dropped.

I've read so many tutorials like this. func Func Myfunc()

If you write textbooks like this you and your family should be boiled in sewage.

If this was C:

#define uuID func

Plot twist: it returns the bios serial.

Not exactly the same, but this reminded me of the MuffinMail.MuffinHash.MuffinHash talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9pEzgHorH0

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

A colleague wrote Java style Python. SomethingDispatcher().dispatch() all the way. It's a mess. Poor guy was thrown into the deep end and left alone for a year. I don't blame him for the outcome.

Meanwhile, functools.partial is one of my favorite tools. I wrote a whole SCADA system in which the initialization just builds data pathways using functools.partial so that incoming event callbacks can be handled with all necessary resources already in scope. Any missing data is made apparent at init, not at event time. It's fast and stable (and I'm pretty proud of it lol).

Thanks, kind stranger. And wow, I haven't seen that much UUID since I coded for Second Life.

[-] mere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

are you from the UK by any chance

[-] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago
[-] mere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

same - i think it's because the image is blocked in the UK because of the online safety act. Try using a VPN and see if that helps

[-] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Actually I've since learned that it's because imgur was collecting kids' private data, and decided to block the UK rather than stop.

[-] mere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

omfg of course, classic $BIG_CORP$ stuff

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

i've now read UUID so many times i'm starting to think it's some kind of sex disease

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 2 months ago

That must one awkward conversation... "Can you explain where did you get the uuid from?"

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

i told you last logic loop NO

[-] xoggy@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

The feeling you get when searching your codebase for references to your "uid" variable but this cheeky boy keeps popping up.

[-] cbazero@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

n, n, n, nn, nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, n, nn, n, n,n ....

My coworkers also introduce needless additions to the call stack

[-] four@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Shouldnt it be return UUID { uuid: uuid.uuid } ?

I think it would make more sense AND more uuid per UUID

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 2 months ago

The first UUID is a local type, the second is the name of an embedded struct, the third is the name of the variable.

The struct looks something like this (writing this on my phone)

type UUID struct { uuid.UUID }

So, basically, this is a custom wrapper for a third party UUID implementation.

[-] four@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Ahh, that makes sense then

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

I'm assuming it's a map/dictionary notation here, rather than a type hint
