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.
Turtles are great computer science animals. They do graphics, and have shell access.
Meanwhile I’ll stick with my tree, it has root access.
I know that the company Functional Software brought out some Functional Sockware, I wore them for years.
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.
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.
Socks? Check. Skirt? Check. Vape pen? Check.
It’s study time.
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 personally prefer programming barefoot, but then I also use GNOME.
Some socks have horrible return times
Wheres the introduction to Rust, choker, skirt, Blahaj, and Thinkpad X220?
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.
Their Thinkpad T’s and X’s still seem honestly good, it’s just that there’s many Thinkpad lines that are shit as well.
The problem is that even the T and X model Thinkpads have been chasing thin and light above build quality. They no longer have protective metal cages, the keyboard isn’t as good, and its bends/flexes (which makes sense considering its thin). I get thats the “modern” laptop design but I wish they went back to making massive laptops.
Ah, I thought those lines didn’t make those 'compromises". I’ll look into it, thanks!
Nearly every laptop OEM has been making comprimises, if you want a true classic Thinkpad style laptop (thats thick and has good build quality) the MNT Reform is the only option. Its massive, thick, has a mechanical keyboard, has an option for a trackball, and isnt particularly powerful (the Raspberry Pi CM5 is realistically the most powerful thing you can put in it).
They can come with an RK3588, which is more powerful than the Raspberry Pi 5.
Although it loses by a large margin in performance from even my old Dell XPS’s Intel i5-7300HQ, the performance isn’t great.
That said, that is right in between a ThinkPad T440’s 4th gen i5 or i7, so maybe that’s not all bad.
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.
I need to buy new once. But am boycotting USA so its hard finding some
Do you not?
I do almost all the time. I think I wear programming socks more than I wear regular socks.
Quite frankly I wouldn’t recommend learning C these days except for maintaining, there are better languages e.g Rust, Go, Zig, Swift. And the Eu and US are cracking down on unsafe Code including open source.
Agreed, I only found one of these with the C book in it. I think it would make much more sense with the Rust book.

I used to own one less-feminine one, for the winters, but they became obsolete thanks to global warming.
I never knew about this until my non-programming partner asked what I thought about them.
