2024 LC Thread

My brother went to the World Darts Championship once. Said it was one of the best days of his life. Just non stop drinking and fun.

Yea thatā€™s why I had best in quotes. Iā€™m sure thereā€™s not a best language in all situations, but like programming languages the language you want depends but there are some aspects of the different languages that are better is so many more situations as to make the aspect generally desirable.

In any case it was just me brainstorming.

Me too.

Just to ramble some more, Shannon was a pretty unique dude. Another of his machines was just a box with one switch on it. You flipped the switch to turn it on and what happened was a hand would extend out of the box, flip the switch back to off, and disappear back into the box. I think thatā€™s what might happen with some possible general AIs.

Who wants to set up the ā€œbest languageā€ showdown thread?

The novelization of that Jim Carrey Scrooge movie is surprisingly good.

Anyone in here know anything about the current state of baseball cards? I have a couple nephews who are just getting into baseball and collecting cards and I wanted to give them some cards or packs as gifts. A brief google showed me that things have changed a lot since I was collecting in the early nineties, so I figured Iā€™d ask here to see if anyone can give some recommendations as to packs or brands that are cool/valuable. I was thinking I might get us a bunch of packs and we could all open them or something along those lines.

God DAMNIT!

Japanese def isnā€™t a contender until they can sort out their writing system like the Koreans did.

Iā€™ve heard that Indonesian is actually the easiest language to learn for a variety of interesting historical reasons.

Uhm, as much as Iā€™d love that to be rightā€¦ binary is left to right, the 2ā€™s place is in front of the 1ā€™s place. ā€œ01ā€ in binary is like ā€œ09ā€ in decimalā€¦

Thanks for the respect. I figured it was over my head but I could slide on it completing the ā€œbinary.ā€ Also low content thread.
