Also, good luck using switch without any breaks, but I'm guessing that's not quite what your teacher had in mind.

The teacher, probably: “You must always put a switch in its own function! Then use return at the end of each case.”

@verdare @lysdexic they are, but you have to be an enterprise customer.

RTOS are not going to become consumer operating systems, because there's too much value in selling it as a capability to enterprise customers (who are largely the consumers who REQUIRE a RTOS, rather than it merely being a convenience).

@JackbyDev oh damn wish I'd thought of that

@KoboldCoterie @Wander Well that's lovely…

@Zagorath That is a stupidly large sign

@triarius Careful, the furries will hear you and show up in the thread.

@RothyBuyak @196 oh look it's my brain

@atocci I'm in this photo and I don't like it

@Wander This post reached meow.social, a Mastodon server

@bristle Pro tip – when replying to a Lemmy thread from Mastodon, remember to tag the community (i.e. @tech) in the reply in order to ensure your reply actually shows up on Lemmy. If you don't, it won't always federate back to Lemmy.

It seems to federate without tagging when the thread OP is a native user on the Lemmy instance, and when directly replying to a Lemmy user. Still unsure exactly when it will and won't.

@bristle If you follow @tech, that's basically how you subscribe. It will boost all posts and comments made within the community, so you can see them.

I am not a fan of it boosting every comment from every post, but that's actually required in order for those comments to federate to Mastodon (otherwise, you just wouldn't see any comments from the Mastodon side).

Naming things is one of the two most difficult issues in IT, alongside cache validation and off-by-one errors.
