  • I feel like this is the first step towards women being forced to wear hijabs.

    I feel like you blew my point completely out of proportion, out of context, and out of the world of reasonable debating points.

  • As a reasonably unattractive middle aged man, I do wish that some of the people in my workplace wouldn't wear low necklines. I am fully aware that I'm not supposed to look and that my eyes aren't the target of the clothing choices. I think it's very rare indeed that I do look, but I can't help but notice, ALL THE TIME I'm interacting with whoever it is. I find it very distracting and would rather not be distracted from the issue at hand. What I look at is under my conscious control, but my sexuality isn't.

    Someone in the comments mentioned that men should know not to stare from simple polite social etiquette. Yes. I know this. I live this. But if you're talking social etiquette, I think you have to accept that it's possible to be inappropriately dressed for the workplace. Wear whatever you like while you're out in the evening, out in the street, out shopping, but while we're at work, while I have no choice over who I interact with or for how long, please dress in a less distracting way.

    Sorry if that makes you feel objectified or controlled, and I don't want to make anyone unhappy, but also I don't want to spend our planning meeting trying to ignore your breats.

  • But yeah large python codebases turn into spaghetti really quickly.

    I can confirm this statement.

  • Rust–: Rust without the borrow checker

  • What on earth is the point of that? I know the borrow checker is hard to please and hard to learn, but surely memory safety is the main point of rust? You may as well write in C.

  • Or 11 - the last digit could be X (for ten) if they were using the modulo 11 check digit system.

  • For a long time I used DuckDuckGo for everything except specific error messages, because Google was better at those, but Google got more shitty and so did stack overflow, so I don't bother much with Google anymore.

  • I don't know, I still have about 30 spare from the turn of the century.

  • Rust is more of a C++ replacement, no?

    It's fast and memory secure, so it's good for stuff you might do in C but you don't want to risk a memory leak or segmentation fault.

  • Lol no, they did not!

    NERDS WORK VERY HARD INDEED AND FIX BUGS IN MASSIVE NUMBERS OF SYSTEMS doesn't sell papers.

    For that matter, neither does TEENAGERS WORK NIGHT AND DAY IN UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS OF REVISION AND EXAM PREPARATION AND BREAK PREVIOUS SUCCESS RECORDS AGAIN BECAUSE TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS ARE GRADED AS FAILING UNLESS RESULTS RISE CONTINUOUSLY. Can you tell I have friends in the teaching profession?!

  • This is a fair point. I'm a programmer and this kind of banter is not super common in my workplace. We are all a little bit odd in our own ways.

  • I remember it well.

    The newspapers were apoplectic about the coming millennium bug Armageddon (hospital equipment was all going to crash because programmers encoded a date as two digits to save what was then rather sparse memory and storage space, and everyone was going to accidentally become of negative age and all timers would temporarily give very wrong answers.

    COBOL programmers: there's a serious issue with banking and other business systems and we need to concentrate on this above above other issues to resolve itManagers and newspapers: ARMAGEDDON!COBOL programmers: we've got this.Newspapers: nobody is doing anything about it! Armageddon!COBOL programmers: It's a lot of work but we're cracking on, we've been working at it a while and it's going to be tight and we're going to need to put in some overtime, but really, we've got this.Newspapers: OH FUCK LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS GOING TO CRASH

    Millienium dawns. Some slight issues remain. Most important systems already patched and fine. Society does not crash.

    Newspapers: There was no millennium bug after all!COBOL programmers: no, there was, but we fixed it like we said we needed to and then we did. Boy, that was hard work.Newspapers: It was ALL A HOAX.COBOL programmers: no, it was a problem and we fixed it.Newpapers: CELEBRITY WOMAN WEARS DRESS.COBOL programmers: we just see the world differently, I guess. Can I retire early with all this emergency business critical overtime money?
