(Also are Programming socks memes welcome here?)
Only Winsocks.
Underrated joke.
!unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone starter pack
I pulled on a str and unraveled my C socks!
I never knew about this until my non-programming partner asked what I thought about them.
Wheres the introduction to Rust, choker, skirt, Blahaj, and Thinkpad X220?
this comment genuinely reminded me that i need to both find my choker and finish installing linux on my x230t
Very good Thinkpad, especially with the classic keyboard mod and libreboot :3
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.
Their Thinkpad T’s and X’s still seem honestly good, it’s just that there’s many Thinkpad lines that are shit as well.
The problem is that even the T and X model Thinkpads have been chasing thin and light above build quality. They no longer have protective metal cages, the keyboard isn’t as good, and its bends/flexes (which makes sense considering its thin). I get thats the “modern” laptop design but I wish they went back to making massive laptops.
Ah, I thought those lines didn’t make those 'compromises". I’ll look into it, thanks!
Nearly every laptop OEM has been making comprimises, if you want a true classic Thinkpad style laptop (thats thick and has good build quality) the MNT Reform is the only option. Its massive, thick, has a mechanical keyboard, has an option for a trackball, and isnt particularly powerful (the Raspberry Pi CM5 is realistically the most powerful thing you can put in it).
They can come with an RK3588, which is more powerful than the Raspberry Pi 5.
Although it loses by a large margin in performance from even my old Dell XPS’s Intel i5-7300HQ, the performance isn’t great.
That said, that is right in between a ThinkPad T440’s 4th gen i5 or i7, so maybe that’s not all bad.
Some socks have horrible return times
Do you not?
I do almost all the time. I think I wear programming socks more than I wear regular socks.
I personally prefer programming barefoot, but then I also use GNOME.
Brainrot
I don’t. Only black & white nail polish and light make up so far.
Wait, you think that wearing thigh high socks for fun is brainrot?
What is “brainrot” about this image?
I need to buy new once. But am boycotting USA so its hard finding some
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.
I thought the books were for your shelf tbh. You put one for each language you claim proficiency in.
It’s cool to have niche older books though. My friend has a programming manual in Estonian from either the very late soviet era or very early 90s that has both some dialect of BASIC and some niche dialect of Pascal that I hadn’t even heard of.
The book is to get your monitor to an ergonomic height!
I used to own one less-feminine one, for the winters, but they became obsolete thanks to global warming.
Socks? Check. Skirt? Check. Vape pen? Check.
It’s study time.
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.
How are you supposed to program without programming socks?
You’re not, it’s possible but you’ll have a really bad time.
