Is this funny, or is it a useful illustration?

Why not both?

People stopped being snobbish about knowing what those words mean about a decade ago. It would be an useful slap on the face of those people back then, but now if it's useful it's only for calming down some random person that know what they mean but isn't confident about it.

I'm so lost. For kids learning to code, I think this image actually might help them understand

You can still be snobby by instead insisting on "fold, scan, iterate"

This is an encoder

Which one? All the ones I've used just make audio and video; no sandwich. :(

you must be the physical embodiment of the map reduce, channeling your inner ingredient to sandwich pipeline. alternatively find a partner who can do it for you. probably tastes better that way.

Of the three sandwiches, only one can be toasted, ergo it is a one hot encoder

Sandwich.hs:6:11: error: [GHC-83865]
    * Couldn't match type ‘Bread’ with ‘Cucumber’
        Expected: Bread
        Actual: Cucumber

This wouldn't have happened with Burritos.

Yeah that checks out. Now you're ready for that massively parallel big data (or sandwich?) processing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And then you fuck up your asynchronous timing, leaving a race condition where the sandwich has bread on the inside. Oh, and QA can only reproduce sometimes

With mapreduce you should generally have your code written in such a way that that cannot happen. Unless the reduce step is improperly programmed.

which one is the root for loop?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That’s not a tasty sandwich

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm guessing it's vegan? And pepper is the main filling?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

No, GNU is the main filling, obviously.

Yeah where the hell is the cheese? How could I, a lactose intolerant; eat a sandwich without the most lactose-dense food in existence?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Ackshually yellow cheese doesn't have much lactose, see e.g. https://www.lactolerance.fr/blog/en/milk-content-of-dairy-products/
