(Also are Programming socks memes welcome here?)
PowerfulTurtle and (Not) BurningTurtle meetup
Until BurningTurtle comes to the meetup.
All 3 of the Turtles are together it seems.
Turtles are great computer science animals. They do graphics, and have shell access.
Meanwhile I’ll stick with my tree, it has root access.

Wheres the introduction to Rust, choker, skirt, Blahaj, and Thinkpad X220?
I ought to make my own programming starter pack meme with all those things.
this comment genuinely reminded me that i need to both find my choker and finish installing linux on my x230t

You jest but I unironically want one of the Thinkpads with a Snapdragon X (|Plus|Elite) to compile my Rust on.
Woah, I said an older Thinkpad. We dont talk about what Lenovo has done to the modern Thinkpad image (theyve dragged it through the mud). Eveyone knows the last good Thinkpad was the T480.

I personally prefer programming barefoot, but then I also use GNOME.
I know that the company Functional Software brought out some Functional Sockware, I wore them for years.
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)

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.
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

It’s also a very good introduction to programming, and just a good read. Probably the best book about programming I’ve ever read.
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.
Only Winsocks.
Underrated joke.
I need to buy new once. But am boycotting USA so its hard finding some
I never knew about this until my non-programming partner asked what I thought about them.
Alright. I don't get it
Programming socks provide a +2 programming skill buff. Their tight fit around the legs provides better blood flow through the legs which also means a better blood flow through the brain.
They also make you more cute :3
Ah. Ok. To each their own.
Weird that I haven't heard about it until now tho. It's been my experience that an uncomfortable amount of software engineers are fairly conservative, but that's more likely because of being in the Midwest.

I pulled on a str and unraveled my C socks!
How are you supposed to program without programming socks?
You're not, it's possible but you'll have a really bad time.
Some socks have horrible return times
Maybe good against programmers venous thrombosis. Should be acknowledged as a work related illness.
