std::unique sounds like a heretofore unknown strain of gonorrhoea

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

I feel like the fact that my brain associated c++ and gonorrhoea says something about my relationship with the language.

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

huh I didn't think through the connotations of that phrasing very well did I

[lunaphied@provably.online]

@gsuberland or maybe you thought about them better than you think?

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@Lunaphied it kinda sounds like I'm rawdogging c++ on the side or something lmao

[alonely0@mastodon.social]

@gsuberland well I needed that chuckle lol. So basically marry Rust, fuck C++ (pun intended) and kill PHP.

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@Alonely0 I'd kill perl, personally.

[lunaphied@provably.online]

@gsuberland well how am I to know

[ppxl@social.tchncs.de]

@gsuberland @Alonely0 I wrote a ton of Perk when I was younger. Had the O'Reilly book and so on. But it was Peel that I learned first hand what shootmyownfoot legacy code is.

I stumbled over some in old code. I knew what it was supposed to do but it was just executable line noise.

Only then, I learned about the clean code concept

@gsuberland The search results for std::vector are quite different if you don’t put the colons in the middle!

[cr1901@mastodon.social]

@david_chisnall @gsuberland Q. What do you get when you cross a mosquito with a mountain climber?

A. You can't take the cross product of a vector and a scaler :).

@david_chisnall Also, learned the hard way: Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) are a bit problematic to research from a monitored network.
