Better than calling it a hash.

I don't think it is, tbh.

Perl's hashes are a complete mystery to me still, but at least it lets me know that it's not just a linear, uh, well, array.


> Perl's hashes are a complete mystery to me still

They're unordered mappings from strings to arbitrary values ("scalars" in Perl jargon). In this sense they're just like an object in JavaScript.

Where this gets a little weird is that Perl arrays and hashes are fundamental types distinct from scalars - you can't put a hash into a $variable without taking a reference to it first, for instance. But that's more a matter of Perl being picker about the value/reference distinction than a hash-specific thing.


PHP arrays are vectors, hash maps and doubly linked lists in one

Like coding, creating images or text, maybe the alternative of doing it yourself is too easy or enjoyable for you. Don't expect that will be true for everyone.

Did you reply to the wrong person? What are you even trying to say here?

You say you don't trust it but whats your alternative assuming you lost your vision?

Well it worked to get USA and Israel to stop attacking.

Yea sure if we can figure out how to build cheap housing. Nobody can afford building costs unless you are rich.

I use bun and never thought human crafted history was its purpose.

Yes of course they could admit any person who didn't finish high school.

They compete by not being a Mac.

Consider them prototypes. Like the games submitted to game jams.

I wouldn't even dare posting this to a game jam... or HN at this point but someone posted it for me, welp.

I guess it depends whats more important, getting the game in your head out where others can try it, or the process of building the game itself.

Do you consider putting someone in jail as violence. It's not much different than kidnapping and that's usually considered violence. How about a time-out for a child?


> Do you consider putting someone in jail as violence.

Yes, I do. It should also be a last resort to mitigate worse consequences to society, and is severely over-used for many things where it has no proven benefit.

> How about a time-out for a child?

It can be cruel if over-used, but it is not the same as physically hurting a child.


> It can be cruel if over-used, but it is not the same as physically hurting a child.

Anything is cruel if "overused". And nobody is claiming "it's the same" as corporal punishment, the argument is whether corporal punishment should be on the table in some circumstances at all, and what those circumstances should be.

I think the conclusion that it should never be permitted is completely unjustified, based on fantasy notions that everyone is innately good if properly directed using words (false), that we understand psychology enough to change people using words (we don't), and how common and abused the power for physical punishment can be (it can be bad, as can many things whose risks we manage).

I think there are many functional and legitimate ways that humans can organize themselves (law and culture), and the idea that corporal punishment cannot be justifiably used in any of them seems almost certainly false.


A time-out can still be considered violence and something you approve for children.


And oranges can be considered apples. If you're going to redefine terms in the attempts at a gotcha all you're achieve is looking silly.


So openclaw or whatever future software will run or control unmodified google os devices.
