I am not a programmer, but on 2 occasions I was able to improperly fix (1 argument in 1 line stuff) very small bugs without really understanding how. I’ve also made a number converter (dec-bin-hex) at least twice. I know those aren’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice twice.
I’d say there’s an issue here with language design having major tradeoffs, but maybe it’s just a paradox*? Though I have found a language I like (even though I’m not learning it because other issues), so I know it’s not impossible at least.
*= Like the people who could make something with less tradeoffs don’t have the need/desire to do that, they just use the existing stuff. Though that is much more fitting for visual programming.

It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere!

Why linking to a page that contains an image instead of posting the image with the source?
Linking an xkcd image directly would strip out the hover text, which is part of the comic.
How do you get the hover text on mobile?
Some browsers show it when you long press the image. For the others, you can edit the URL to m.xkcd.com
If you long press on the image, the hover over text will appear.
It cuts off
“Learning arcane bullshit from the 80s can break your computer, but if you’re willing to wade through…”
Maybe try tapping on the text?
That works!

is this common for xkcd? because then I’ve been missing a whole layer of all the comics I’ve stumbled upon.
Oh boy, every xkcd (maybe except the first hundred?) has alt-text, time for you to read them all again!
Linking to the page is the best way to share an xkcd
My lemmy client shows the full image anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
which one do you use?
Summit, it’s pretty good
