Why did you even bring up AI? IDEs have been able to generate equality functions for decades without AI.

It’s kinda neat to have this defined directly in the language so that compilers can implement it, but creating equality function is so low effort that this doesn’t really seem like a big deal.

Like, you define the members in a class, then you tell your IDE to generate getters, constructor, equals, hashcode, etc all in like 5 seconds.
I like it, it’s nice when the language itself defines reasonable defaults for things, but realistically you’re saving yourself a few seconds of effort.

I mean, if your IDE does it for you, is it really that much better that it’s shorter?

Interesting.

So that means match any string that is made entirely of a single repeating sequence, where repititon is possible.

Empty input Or input of exactly 1 character Or input of at least 2 characters, followed by at least 1 something (idk what \1 matches)

Did I get it (almost)?

It’s hard to find a very of any variety that isn’t a raving douche

Yeah I knew they weren’t plants but it made the analogy easier to pretend they were 😅
They have plant-ey vibes

They were all like “let’s get the Calvin cycle up in this house, lets light it up!” And so they did, and the atmosphere caught fire

Very cool!

It reminds me of my fav, The Oxygen Catastrophy, where basically a plant did something new and caused the earth to freeze. In this case, by converting methane to carbon dioxide, a much weaker greenhouse gas.

I like it!
I kind of feel like “locomotive” itself is a niche so this is more like a collapse of a niche rather than a mass extinction, but I love the analogies

That’s my fav too.
“The Oxygen Catastrophy” is just such a cool name.

• Also some upstart bacteria just start pumping out poison that kills almost everything (oxygen)
• Causes the ocean to rust
• Causes the atmosphere to catch on fire
• then causes the earth to turn to a snowball

Fuckin metal

I’m judging you, as I said I would

That’s the Holocene, and I’m judging you.

I was asking for extinction events, aka mass extinctions.
But this is still very interesting! Thanks for sharing it with me

I’m judging you, not because you chose the Holocene, but for how easy it was to get people without interesting opinions to identify themselves 😏

Both tabs and spaces are stupid.

It’s ridiculous that in 2024, code formatting is still embedded in the source instead of being a style you apply.

I suck at git.
I’m currently rebasing 17k commits into my branch. I’m letting it run overnight.

I’m disgusting.

Ok, that kinda makes sense, but that seems pretty niche. you have to make a few cognitive leaps to get it. That’s ok, it’s fine to make jokes like that, but it seems a bit much to be a jerk to folks who don’t get it.

Looking over the comment section again, it’s still like it was when I posted: most people are taking the question at face value, and not engaging with the joke.

I guess they’ve never heard of the Streisand effect in China.
