Look at Mr.Bigshot over here with a defined value and data type.
alright, I'll bite.
Why?
Because programmers start counting at 0! 😆
Ok, that was funnier in my head...
I don't like to be that guy, but 0! equals to 1
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?
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.
It was sang by ~~The Beatles~~ Three Dog Night.
You sure? I searched just to check and Three Dog Night came up.
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
Qt 3.14 came out a long time ago.
She's gay.
Good for her, good for her
"You're a Queue of T"? I don't get it
Queue T, pronounced like "cutie"
I know, I was making a joke
Because Queue<T> is typically read "queue of T"
No one is getting laid in this ::thread
Dammit, don't ruin it!!11 The "of" is silent 😉
Then she throws her drink in your face, storms out and git resets --hard origin/main && git clean -fdx
