Most of the time it’s not exactly useful and some of the positions are awkward (e.g. 8, 9, 10), counting to 31 on one hand is maybe useful.
More useful IMO is counting in base 6 and treating each hand as a single digit. i.e counting to 35 on 2 hands without awkward fingerings. Better than 10, less awkward than binary.
Ricardo was testing in production
I didn’t notice that 7,8,9 had no effect on the count. My bad.
Chars are just numbers, but yeah, an enum would work fine too, sure. The only advantage with using a char for it is that there’s no conversion needed for outputting them into strings so it’s a little easier. Less code, very readable, etc. Though yeah, thinking about it JQKA wouldn’t be numerically in the right order which could cause issues if the program did more than just implement HiLo
Yeah, just use a char for card and test
if(card < '7') count++;
else count--;
Or something, don’t mix types.
As others said, you’re talking about CGI
It’s idiotic that this even made it to an article
My thoughts exactly. “Guy states an opinion on social media” isn’t really news especially when the guy didn’t even say why he thinks it.
Also who cares? Each OS is “better” to different people who have different needs, why does anyone need to care what anyone else thinks about that? The only person whose opinion matters about this is oneself.
I think this is related to the recent security vulnerability that affected, notably, lemmy.world. Even unaffected instances mostly decided to invalidate existing user sessions just to be sure and this required resetting Jerboa and some other apps that presumably hold onto a cached version of your auth token even if you remove the account and re-add it or something. So it was necessary to clear the app cache and storage to reset it and add accounts again.
Thunder has the gestures. Personally I’ve not really got on with them so I’m using Jerboa even though I prefer many other aspects of Thunder. Maybe give it a shot yourself.
Is this not loss?
