*sigh*

0 is the loneliest number :(

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 8 points 4 months ago

Look at Mr.Bigshot over here with a defined value and data type.

[–] odium@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

alright, I'll bite.

Why?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Because programmers start counting at 0! 😆

Ok, that was funnier in my head...

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago

I don't like to be that guy, but 0! equals to 1

[–] andioop@programming.dev 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'll be the idiot who doesn't get the joke.

I recognize that programmers often start counting at 0.

I'm not sure how this connects to 0 being lonely, since that means it's getting used. Even if the programmers are lonely, I still do not get it. Can someone explain?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 8 points 4 months ago

There's an old saying that goes, "One is the loneliest number." Non-programmers usually start counting at one, making it the first number in the count.

Programmers generally have to start counting at 0. So to them, the first number is 0. So the joke is that a non-programmer would say "one is the loneliest number" a programmer would say "zero is the loneliest number" because the numbers they start with when counting are different.

"1 is the loneliest number" was a line from an old song, I think.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It was sang by ~~The Beatles~~ Three Dog Night.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

You sure? I searched just to check and Three Dog Night came up.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

You're correct, Google just returns results for The Beatles because enough people search for that rather than Three Dog night, and I wasn't paying attention

She's a Qt but she's only a 6.8

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Qt 3.14 came out a long time ago.

She's gay.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 months ago

Good for her, good for her

"You're a Queue of T"? I don't get it

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Queue T, pronounced like "cutie"

[–] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

I know, I was making a joke

Because Queue<T> is typically read "queue of T"

No one is getting laid in this ::thread

Then she throws her drink in your face, storms out and git resets --hard origin/main && git clean -fdx

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Only for people who can't see sharp.
