"You wrote this in C++ and you're the one C++ submission that I say should have been written in Rust. You are the reason we have these additional memory protection languages necessary for all programmers going forward." I came here for a roast, not a slaughter :D

[@Beastintheomlet]

This is without question my favorite programming related video, I need more of you as this character roasting code.

This is some great content. You really fit the "disappointed, but not surprised" Asuka vibe.

[@AyamineMISC]

I've been waiting for this! Next year if you decide to do something like this again you should try proposing more difficult challenges, I can see the prospect of appearing in one of these video being motivating to folks. They would try hard, me included.

[@nlnu1337]

reading other people's code (especially random internet spergs) can be very annoying and draining imo that's probably why she had a simple challenge with some pre-defined functions. Just having the challenge be "sorting" also leaves it open for a lot of creativity whereas something more complex and detailed may not maybe

[@AyamineMISC]

29:00 Adaptive sort? Nice. That's a reasonable approach to a custom sorting algorithm.

[@AccurateBurn]

burned! My creativity went as far as to create a knockoff version of selection sort. Also the casing was completely unintentional, lately I've been mixing the java and python at work and it's getting to me.

[@tolkienfan1972]

Are you going to do this again? Or something similar? Because I want to make a submission

[@toxidron2880]

/* Very efficient algorith to determine wether a given integer input can be divided by two */ boolean isEven(int n) { switch(n) { case 0: return true; case 1: return false; default: return isEven(n + 2); } }

[@gergelykalman9822]

I'd wasted an embarrassingly long time on this, so I'm glad you posted the video mergesort: I wrote this, and I'm not too proud of how long it took. I used distinct function names in another .py file, so that I could write tests for both submissions. Apparently I was an idiot when copying this to the submission file you provided. Oops cheatsort: That's not a for loop, that's an assignment using a generator function. I did not need to call the print function after every iteration, as there is only one "iteration". Since there are [1..N] unique numbers I can just produce a sorted array without any need to look at the input numbers, I only need to know N. I bet you this'll run faster than anything else, and yes, I do feel like a smartass. BTW I did write it, but it IS cheating. With that said, your input was pretty cheatable 😊 This was fun, thanks for the roast and the bonus content!

[@duckie4670]

[@CRC.Mismatch]

0:50 is basically BogoSort, but with extra calculations to make it more "genetic" 🤣

[@yetanchenko]

Queen of the Wired

[@Gersberms]

Thank you for the mention of tabs, something we all have a strong opinion on! Any way I look at it, that's what the tab button was invented for. And 4 spaces is the correct depth because 2 is barely visible (and you're not using 8 tabs or anything unless you're writing HTML...), 8 is just crazy (looking at Notepad...) and who the heck wouldn't use a 2^n number of spaces for their tabs?

[@tommyovesen]

Great video. But how often do you NEED a sorting algorithm? Never, You just call .Sort(s -> s.Prop) on your favorite framework.

[@pietraderdetective8953]

damn I'm loving the Rust roasts...it definitely got roasted pretty well, it might as well burnt LOL. anyway no Zig submission at all? when is the next challenge event? I'm going to submit some Zig. Idea for future content: measure the performance of these sorting algorithms?

[@abuhamza2771]

it is impossible to describe how awesome i find this even in my native language. thank you laurie

I see the Perl one and I get sad that you didn't get one written in Pascal or, better yet, in assembly.

27:55 If my two-year old sibling copied a basic sort and got it to run, I'd still call them a child prodigy...

[@muellerhans]

Damn, if I knew about it sooner I might have written a sorting algorithm that only accepts Kanji as input (else it will print 分かりません🙇) and sorts those by amount of strokes used. Nihongosort or something like that, however I guess to truly deserve that name all Japanese writing systems should be respected. Maybe curviness of strokes should also be a factor in sorting but that depends a bit on font as well... HMMM.

Unfortunately, I think I missed the submission deadline here. I was hoping to give you some Haskell to take on.

[@V8VRUte]

I like your philosophy re Windows vs Linux. For me, it depends what Im using the computer for. All my server devices, and my media devices are all linux based, my main PC that I use for gaming etc, is Windows. I don't see it as a case of one being better than the other, they each have their strengths and weaknesses.

[@GRHmedia]

So agreed Rust is hand holding. So is TDD if you get down to it. The complaint about excessive functions who knows maybe he tried to follow "clean code" another hand holding nightmare.

People who use single letter variables don't go to heaven.

[@johndubchak]

Question: Is a novel-inducing variable name (known as, cousin of carpel tunnel) truly "better" than a reasonably sized (much smaller) name? When I see looooooong variable names, it suggests to me, inexperience. That the developer cannot see context within the code. (Not being critical, just looking at the extremes and wondering about the middle-ground)

[@gorak9000]

The thing that's most frustrating about perl is it's so unreadable and annoying, but for super simple stuff, it's like 10x faster than python - that makes me so sad. It almost makes me as sad as pythons reason de etre is supposed to be "there's only one way to do things", when in reality there's always 10 ways to do things, and the least obvious way is actually the efficient way. I feel like coding in python for 9 years has made me a super sloppy, super lazy coder - I should've stuck to my guns and wrote all my stuff in c/c++. It's also super boring coding in python for 9 years - the only way I can feel anything now is to tear apart raw firmware binaries in Ghidra and work backwards to manually modify the binaries, re flash the roms, and see my changes actually working!

[@AlexHerlan]

At this point single letter variable names are certainly out of vogue, and because of modern day compute restraints aren't a consideration when it comes to efficiency. Arguably anyone who still does use them would be the more experienced programmer though, having that mentality drilled in to them.

Your comment on Linux is just soo naive to be point of being cringe

[@callisoncaffrey]

I see Windows, I leave. Well, in this case I heard it. There is no skill issue when it comes to Linux. It's piss easy. What you have, just like everybody else, is a laziness issue. But sure, enjoy your "productivity" while Windows sends everything you do to not just Microsoft but also third party data collectors. It's a great way to help implement the social credit system. Just don't forget to then cope at the end with "I didn't know" or "everybody did it", and of course my personal favorite "I was just following orders". I rather not be the corporations' female canine, but as you said, to each his own. Oh, and Linux is for children and video games. If you want to take security seriously you gotta use OpenBSD obviously.
