It's a whole new world up here! Guy 1: But how are you flying? The programming language Lisp (also featured in 224: Lisp) is known for large numbers of nested/paired parentheses. Here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22953846/what-would-be-a-better-way-to-check-if-a-tld-is-valid-or-not/22954371#22954371, Yes. xkcd is a webcomic consisting of non-sequential strips about math, language, programming, and the nature of reality in general. Guy 1: That's it? Not to mention, if the joke on line [10] was really concerning the code's interaction with its line number, it would set up nicely for introducing the inter-line joke between lines [11] and [14].188.114.106.89 03:35, 13 June 2015 (UTC), As a speaker of Japanese, the explanation "[In the Japanese number system] the plus sign is instead the symbol 十" sounds even more absurd than if someone said that English speakers use the small letter "t" as an addition symbol. "十" (ten) and "＋" (full-width plus) are different glyphs and using them interchangeably would certainly not be useful. Never watched the movie :). As many of you know, I actively participate on Stack Overflow, the leading Q/A website for software developers. A "Hello, World!" The result is shown with an alternate form of escaped quotes (the apostrophe and double quote can both be used to show a string). Or the code for the drill defines an obscure variable that is used by other code for the cannon or its base, so “removing” the drill code would cause the cannon to “crash” and not operate. Feel free to ask questions and write me.

A final factor is that coders often write a particular function once in the first module, and then call back to that function when necessary in subsequent modules rather than rewriting the function over and over again. Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb. Whitespace? One of xkcd's tagline categories. Flying is often used as a metaphor for freedom and ease, and here Randall shows Cueball literally flying in response to using Python. Variation and lack of a clearly more intuitive behaviour leads some languages to have weird results when you mix types. Programming is fun again! Hasn’t led me astray yet. The drill is a metaphor for elegant and efficient code. Used in abstruse ways for something it was never intended for just because it works and is a quick and simple fix. @Giovanni: taking your word for it, this is totally outside my area of competence! The top voted comment is on a post which asks for a regexp to validate passwords with enough complexity: This regexp would not allow using such passphrases. Rtanenbaum (talk) 14:43, 20 July 2018 (UTC), Automatic-Drill Cannon is my new favorite impractical weapon. Guy 2: Come join us! It's interesting that one of the referenced papers, Pseudo Random Number Generators in Programming Languages, displays the XKCD comic right on its first page.
