Have been bitten by Python's initialization of default params only the first time the function is evaluated myself but never this badly. From @Lethain@twitter.com's post on Digg's doomed relaunch.

RT @YoNoSoyTu@twitter.com: @uliwitness@twitter.com I don’t think I have seen it with subexpressions, but sometimes, when the planets align, you see the return value of functions/methods just after stepping out of them (basically the result of "return …"). But I might be dreaming. You can see an example in https://www.raywenderlich.com/152276/intermediate-debugging-xcode-8

SO my attempts at making C++/WinRT code work so I'm fully modern on Windows have hit a little snag: I can't make any of the sample snippets on the web compile, and it's apparently so new that Visual Studio has no template for it -_-

RT @hessi@twitter.com: Krass, die Münchner S-Bahn startet Wifi im Zug. Und es funktioniert tatsächlich! Im Tunnel! Inkl. Handover aus dem Tunnel raus, den T-Mobile seit Jahren nicht gebacken bekommt.
Und es ist schneller als bei mir daheim. :-(
One thing I (think I) spotted in Visual Studio that I wish I had in Xcode right now is the debugger showing you the return value of the most recent subexpression.
Like, I’m iterating over an array built by map(), what did map() actually return?
maybe dont beat people up over the internet, for me?
RT @korybing@twitter.com: https://seeallthis.com/blog/the-iconic-fountain-1917-is-not-created-by-marcel-duchamp/ so we’ve known since 1982 that Marcel Duchamp actually took credit for Fountain from a woman yet none of my college-level art history classes decided to ever tell me this and I had to find out about it on tumblr dot hell 100 years after it was created?
This is one aspect I occasionally appreciate about doing stuff in a computer: It's all just bits and bytes, they're malleable.
You can create whatever you can imagine in enough detail.

(Tip: When you write “googled”, then correct it to “duckduckwent” because you don’t wanna lie, remember the nice word “looked up” … it’s totally fine here)
RT @McKelvie@twitter.com: I just got reminded of my X-Men shot, the Fastball Special. Vodka and maple syrup.
I also just duckduckwent C++/CX to make sure I spelled it right, and found out that I should really be using C++/WinRT instead, which implements the same features using standard C++17, instead of via compiler extensions.
