Null was a mistake (as per what quite a few people say) XD
Don't know if some actual thing saying "undefined" explicitly would/could be any better, though.
2 1 ReplyThere are two kinds of "null" that are often called out as mistakes, you may be thinking of. One is the null reference, as found in languages like C and Java, which Tony Hoare, who created it for ALGOL back in the sixties, has called his "billion dollar mistake". The other is the three-valued-logic of null in SQL, which is almost as bad.
There's nothing wrong with "null", necessarily, in other contexts, although I do think a more clear name for whatever it means in any given context might be better.

That's 0.1 2 so it's still binary

Yeah that's what i meant, well...
I guess binary is better interpreted as a boolean than being actually written in a binary base.
They forgot what it's like coding in binary i tell you that!

People not getting this... computers are inherently binary (until quantum computers become truly viable). That's the joke.
