(Also are Programming socks memes welcome here?)
I personally prefer programming barefoot, but then I also use GNOME.
Programming socks memes are always welcome here.
PowerfulTurtle and (Not) BurningTurtle meetup
Until BurningTurtle comes to the meetup.
All 3 of the Turtles are together it seems.
Well 2 of me, but still.
Accurate
Are three lettuce heads enough for you?
Memes?
:@
Eh, who is still using paper books to learn programming languages? Every popular language has a website with online manuals.
Well, except C, because it’s crammed together with C++ on https://cplusplus.com/ and https://cppreference.com/
And socks just grow organically after 3 years of coding.
The book is to get your monitor to an ergonomic height!
I thought the books were for your shelf tbh. You put one for each language you claim proficiency in.
It’s cool to have niche older books though. My friend has a programming manual in Estonian from either the very late soviet era or very early 90s that has both some dialect of BASIC and some niche dialect of Pascal that I hadn’t even heard of.
I used to own one less-feminine one, for the winters, but they became obsolete thanks to global warming.
You can never have enough socks. Many a christmas goes by where again nobody gifts me a nice pair of socks. People always seem to think I am in need of more books to read!
(Hope I’m somewhat correctly recounting Dumbledore’s answer in relation to the mirror of Erised)
I never knew about this until my non-programming partner asked what I thought about them.
If you need to learn C, at least use the first edition of the book - the one without the ANSI additions is much smaller.
I’'ve actually never read the second/and edition so I can’t say if it is good or not. I can tell you that the first edition still has a proud space on my bookshielf though the acid paper is starting to take a toll and I suspect it won’t be long and I’ll be needing a reprint.
Doesn’t the first edition use K&R style parameter lists and other no-longer-correct syntax?
My prof called K&R C “Knall und Rauch C”, “bang and smoke C”. Also: C lattice fence.
Yes.
It’s also a very good introduction to programming, and just a good read. Probably the best book about programming I’ve ever read.
I haven’t read either, honestly Rust is so much better than C or C++ and if I were going to learn a low level language I’d probably go with that instead. Currently I only do Python and a tiny bit of Javascript.
I dare assume you get downvoted for liking Rust, so take my upvote for balance. We differ about what we think of the language, but this kind of angry downvoting is plain ridiculous
Probably moreso for expressing the opinion so strongly without actually knowing any of the three languages.
Edit: I’m just guessing why a different comment got downvotes. Why am I getting downvotes?
This Rust talk sounds exactly like Java in the 2000. It’s the language of the future!! Rust is good though but only time will tell if rust will replace C/C++ which I doubt.
Maybe good against programmers venous thrombosis. Should be acknowledged as a work related illness.
Only Winsocks.
Underrated joke.
How are you supposed to program without programming socks?
You’re not, it’s possible but you’ll have a really bad time.
Socks? Check. Skirt? Check. Vape pen? Check.
It’s study time.
Some socks have horrible return times
I pulled on a str and unraveled my C socks!
I just wish they would just admit it already and good programmers wear compression socks. Helps with blood flow and reduces issues with sitting. It you want a nice pattern to each their own.
Brainrot
Wait, you think that wearing thigh high socks for fun is brainrot?
I don’t. Only black & white nail polish and light make up so far.
