I hope this is not true

But they run locally on the phone, if I’m not completely mistaken. So no use for a server.

Or do they offer this option? I think they explicitly advertise no internet access.

“The other two functions work similarly” noo I wouldn’t say that! :D On a very abstract way, maybe. But especially to a beginner, they don’t. One just processes it’s input a bit (casting) while the other displays text, reads from stdin, etc.

I believe OPs confusion stems exactly from presuming strong similarities between all functions, while only float() and int() are similar and input() being a completely different thing (relatively speaking…)

The only actual good answer.

Explain please. What’s the true meaning and what’s the intended one?

It’s better. Not good. Better than other tools, at least in the eyes of the many people using it. But as I stated at another post, to me this speaks to the fact that we need better FOSS alternatives for whatever purposes discord is used. I don’t like Discord either, don’t get me wrong! But so many people using it means something’s missing and I don’t think it cab solely be explained by the lack of knowledge of existing solutions but at least partly by the existence itself.

Speaks to the fact that we apparently need better and new alternatives or make current tools easier to use.

Certain aspects of discord seem to resonate with people (unfortunately…).

Man pages are great as mentioned, but maybe not as accessible to some people. Are there tools to generate more convenient resources (e.g. wikis) from that? Similar to how generating technical documentations from (structured) code comments.

Do you know why?

He wrote code that was so bad, all that was kept from x.com when it was bought was its name. The actual code was taken from another company acquired at the same time.

I think he was being sarcastic, playing with words. Meaning, that you trade in time, runtime and memory and get nothing in return :D so a pretty bad trade haha.

Of course it’s worse, I mean, that was the point of this blogpost, wasn’t it? :p It’s just a (long) joke.
