hot take, but national anthems are just terrible songs. the lyrics are bad. the arrangements are bad. everything about them sucks.

all text-based programming languages are forth-like by default. forth is what you get when your parser is your interpreter. it takes effort to move away from forth & create a phase distinction between parsing and interpreting. and that effort is not always beneficial, especially to the programmer.

as a child, i thought the emperor's new clothes was a fictional story, a fable that takes its premise to a silly conclusion in order to teach a moral lesson

as an adult, i see that we are living in the emperor's new clothes universe and the tailors are busy preparing a new suit every week

anyway my point wasn't to rag on some random music program developer, but to point out a super common software development fallacy, the idea that you can make up for a poorly designed feature by adding more features.

more bad options is not preferable to one good option.

to be specific, the shuffle modes are now:

• "shuffle", which internally creates a random permutation of the playlist and then repeats this permutation forever. so if you listen to this for too long the songs start repeating in the same order.

• "random", which picks a random song each time, without consideration for whether a song has just been played or not.

i'm using a music program that has a broken shuffle. instead of fixing it, the developers added a second shuffle mode that is also broken.

when there is some usability issue and instead of fixing it, the programmer introduces a second way of doing things that is also broken

don't ask me how long it took me to figure out that (-1*2 + 1) / 2 == 0

apparently i am so floor division pilled that i thought multiplying by two, adding one, and then dividing by two, would give back the original integer.

ha.

what do I do? what is the blessed way of writing an integer literal with the value of INT32_MIN? (without creating a special case for INT32_MIN)

the code:

int32_t v93 = -2147483648;

proposal to rename "pure"/"return" to "curse"

so the monad operations are "curse" and "bind"
