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?
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.
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 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)

Socks? Check. Skirt? Check. Vape pen? Check.
It's study time.
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?

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!
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 also had a bit of a culture shock when I started working, after being young and naive and assuming people interested in tech were progressive, and going to a public university for CS surrounded by other liberals.

Only Winsocks.
Maybe good against programmers venous thrombosis. Should be acknowledged as a work related illness.
Some socks have horrible return times
I personally prefer programming barefoot, but then I also use GNOME.
I pulled on a str and unraveled my C socks!
Did socks replace rubber ducks?
If you have the socks you don't need the ducks
How are you supposed to program without programming 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.
Do you not?
I do almost all the time. I think I wear programming socks more than I wear regular socks.
