I love to think that my country doesn’t hand out automatic rifles to anyone with a pulse.

As a person living in a civilized country I find it amusing that you have levels for your gear, like in a video game. “Aww man, I didn’t get enough XP in that last level to buy the level 4 chest plate!”

There are morons on both sides. Some refuse to read, others refuse to provide information in a way that’s accessible without C.S. degree.

The average person is a moron. If a dev fails to provide information comprehensible to a moron, they are a moron, too.

From the project’s README:

Also note that the python visualizer tool has been basically written by vibe-coding. I know more about analog filters – and that’s not saying much – than I do about python. It started out as my typical “google and do the monkey-see-monkey-do” kind of programming, but then I cut out the middle-man – me – and just used Google Antigravity to do the audio sample visualizer.

This is the commit: https://github.com/torvalds/AudioNoise/commit/93a72563cba609a414297b558cb46ddd3ce9d6b5

Soo… Some characters are not valid in URLs (or not used for other reasons) and must be replaced. In this case, the + is percent-encoded to %2B, which renders Loss_(Ctrl+Alt+Del) as Loss_(Ctrl%2BAlt%2BDel), which is a perfectly fine URL (cut off the front for clarity).

Hower, something on the client (OS, browser) then seems to look at that URL and think that the percent sign cannot be there and encodes that again to yield Loss_(Ctrl%252BAlt%252BDel).

When Wikipedia looks at this and tries to figure out the page to load, it de-encodes that string back to Loss_(Ctrl%2BAlt%2BDel) and seems to stub its toe on the %2B, if @SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world is to be believed.

That really tells you what they think of you.

What you’re describing is not really an ‘any’ type in the code but garbage data. No language is going to save you if you read a file expecting a character but it’s actually an int.

I don’t understand how this would happen. If the any type truly “propagates through the system”, that means you’re passing around a variable of which you say, “I don’t know what this is. You deal with it.” How can you do any meaningful operations on it when you don’t know the type?

Yes, I’d rather have 35 different IDEs for every task I need to do. Much better than One To Rule Them All.
