Hello. This sort of works from Jerboa, but sort of not. I couldn't find the community in the app, but once I subscribed it shows up in my feed. It may only work with federated accounts though.

The Danish word for 99 is nioghalvfems, which literally means "nine and half five." Which you could be forgiven for assuming meant 11½. The trick is that a) "half five" actually means 4½, as in half less than five, and b) it's implied that you're supposed to multiply the second part by 20. So the proper math is 9 + (-½ + 5) * 20 = 99.
Of course, the correct way to quit Vi is ^Zpkill vi.
If you think French is bad...
// Danish
farve = "#(9+½+5)FFAA"
Which surely works only until you need to say 91, which does not start "quatre-vingt-dix."
Depends on the use case. But I think that's secondary to the other reasons I gave. Java increasingly looks and feels old-fashioned. People really like higher-order functions these days and Java's implementation of that with things like the Bifunctor and Predicate interfaces and arrows as anonymous classes (that can seriously impact compilation time) is really clunky and hamfisted. And Oracle has just been a nasty company two work with of late and I think companies with a choice would rather not.
I note that the developer in question decided not to comply, instead obscuring "obvious signs of AI" and resubmitting, after which Valve did refuse to publish. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, I guess.
So Java is kinda slow. Its "everything is a class" mentality has lost favor as first-class functions have become popular through languages like JavaScript (no relation to Java) and Python. Even C++ has them now.
Independent of the language itself, Oracle (the company that owns Java) has become unpopular in the industry recently as they changed the way the Java Development Kit was licensed, making it significantly more expensive, and for being on the wrong side of the Google v. Oracle suit. (Literally everyone, from the OSF and the EFF to the "big five" tech companies took Google's side.)
That was just crazy. And instead of owning up to it, they doubled down on the whole thing by having GPT invent fake rulings which they could claim to have cited and wrapped up the whole shebang by revealing that the attorney who filed the stupid thing wasn't the person who "wrote" it and hadn't even read it and therefore shouldn't be held accountable for its contents.
Why don't we copy their code and see how they like it?
That's a harder proposition than you might think. On the one hand, UUIDs are mathematically guaranteed to be universally unique, which is great. On the other hand, there has to be some way to go from a UUID to a particular post, which suggests a lookup table, but the federated nature of Lemmy basically makes that impossible, since there's no assurance that any instance is aware of any other instance.
