  • It’s a programming joke. If you declare variables or set a value to a space in the storage, this space is blocked even after the programme is done using that variable. So to write a programme with efficient use of storage, you have to free the storage space after you are using it.

    Many programming languages use a routine called “garbage collector” to free unused storage space.

    So, if you don’t want to be a garbage collector, you have to assign storage space manually.

    Edit: because of the other comment, I thought this was c/ADHD. So the text reads a bit weird. Sorry.

    Original: Firstly, sorry, I’m commenting as a person who doesn’t have ADHD (that I know of). But I always feel a certain way when people in general say, that there’s nothing to do. Now, I don’t know in which capacity ADHD affects you in creating or finding things to do. But I feel like, there could always be something to do.

    Here are a few examples:

    • make a wreath out of flowers
    • practice your handstand
    • guess cloud shapes
    • take a plunge in the lake
    • let flower petals float on the lake
    • built one of those stone towers that hikers always do

    Or honestly, hiking back sounds like a good idea. Half an hour is an acceptable amount of time to stay at the peak/ any resting spot.

    Ok. For the girl being a russian (or at least Slavic) speaker and learning English, I can’t for the life of me imagine how she could have mixed up cat and dog. Which she didn’t, she knew the difference. But oop shortly thought about correcting her. And comment op said, it was plausible.

    I see no way how that would be plausible. Girl is speaking in a broken way, but she is speaking, not having loose vocab here and there. Cat and dog are one of the first words to learn typically. I don’t know why, it just seems that way.

    Also cat in russian is koshka, making it very easy to remember (same starting sound and they just feel similar).

    So really, I see no way how someone who is already speaking a language (brokenly) would honestly mix up cat and dog. Mixing up refrigerator and laundromat - fine, I’ll believe it, but not those two.
