The actual joke is that they were trying to play dumb/fun nerd computer games. The cool fish basically just told them to count to 1000 instead
for that little bit of program there x is set to 1 and x++ is just another way to say “add one to this number”. The loop runs until x is 1000 thus all the x values when they are “running” the program manually
Some time ago I had a fever dream confusing reality thing and when I woke up I had reason with myself that “no, I can’t run a program in my brain”. I couldn’t decide if it was a disappointment or a relief.
How do we know that the thoughts which occur in dreaming are false rather than those others which we experience when awake, since the former are often not less vivid and distinct than the latter?

Thx, got it :D
Your a wizard Harry
Should’ve at least added some output to the loop, now the brain can just optimize and jump straight to the end.
Is this openbsd
it’s the techno-mage of the open clan and his student
Is anyone in this reality content to be alive? Happy even?
sure, the CEO-president of the GovCorp.

Wait 'til you learn what tracing is
that is kind of the premise of the techno-mage’s story 🤔 !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org

Couldve flipped the sign every operation to make it even longer, just make sure you’re not off by one or change it while x <= 1000
