Why is nobody commenting on the phone battery?
No mom, I’m gonna BE a girl for Christmas. puts on programming socks
That’s 100% how I read it at first.
Jokes on her, I’ve transitioned since last Christmas.
You can still bring a girl though
Mission failed successfully: I’m bringing my enby instead and you can’t stop me.
I am the girl! Hmm, but maybe I’ll bring another one too? 🤔
The more the merrier!
it’s yuletide! everyone (except that person. they know what they did) is welcome and celebrated!
Not sorry
when you burst into the wedding promising doom and death, we didn’t kick you out because we didn’t believe you, we kicked you out because we already knew. i mean, i’m involved let’s be real.
Who needs a girl when you have monads to keep you warm?
Or become a girl with gonads
This kind of text hits differently when you’re a lesbian.
Wouldn’t it hit the same as it would a straight male?
POV: Not all moms are accepting of their daughters being into girls.
I don’t think “programmer” fully captures the reality of being an emacs-based programmer.
I’m a girl. I’m not interested in Haskell, that’s too frigging endofunctiorific. Erlang! That’s what all the cool guys are doing.
What about going an extra step into Elixir?
There are far more male programmers… As a programmer, be gay or stay alone… Choose!
Can programmers only be with other programmers or am I missing something?
“JSON parser 100% from scratch in Haskell in 110 lines” doesn’t get you horny? I guess some people are just wired differently.
I’m a programmer myself but my wife isn’t a programmer, that was my motivation for questioning.
Don’t worry. I mean nothing but humour by it. I myself am married to a physicist who takes absolutely no interest whatsoever in programming, but can talk happily for ages about something weird they found.
Oh, is she, like, an EE or something? Maybe a web designer?
But you kind of have to leave the house for that… I mean… We talk about programmers…
/s
Well yeah, obv. But not enough girls in computer science, so like the fishes, some of them magically turn into girls after a while.
Oh that explains why my wife is gay
If she was around the same cs students as me then yeah
Ouch!
She sleeps with men, that’s pretty gay
There are a lot of things she does but that aint one of them
Think you forgot to check their username before commenting that haha
Thats a hell of a way to find out.
And clearly it worked!
There are those who transition, so a significant chunk of that male programmer population is “male” as in quotation marks, only that some transition earlier than others. Does not guarantee that you can get the transgender autistic puppygirl (or other variations) of your dreams, since many of them are lesbians.
But also feel free to look outside your field for a partner. It’s okay to date an artist as a programmer.
Feels weird reading this as the only single woman programmer in my friend group who likes men
I think programmer should be seen as a gender itself.
I’m currently transitioning myself, already have a homeserver and a Linux PC, can’t wait to be a real programmer.
and gender confirmation would not be getting called sir/ma’am at the starbucks but people asking you for IT help?
Just slurs, shouted angrily and incoherently whike they blame you for all the shit that was designed (by someone else) to not work.
I detransitioned from being a programmer and all I have is depression since, maybe I should retransission into being a programmer
It’s not gay if I’m wearing programming socks.
You just need to find a girl that also likes Tsoding! Then, you can ask her “Hey, do you have plans for Christmas? I’d love it if we could do AoC (Advent of Code) in a language we both hate!”
Well shit, I’ve never seen AoC before - I’m not usually very interested in programming just for fun, but I might give that a try!
I only was shown it a few weeks ago so seeing it here was a bit of a shock
NOTE: no proper error reporting
Add those few lines, will ya?
But that would break the 111 line rule.
There’s a rule?
Not anymore.
Hello everyone, and welcome to yet another recreational programming session with who?
Based Tsoding
He won’t be done debugging her by then. She’ll be ready for beta testing next year.
Well, JSON is an easy format to parse. The spec can fit onto one page.
A JSON parser in Haskell, what a day to have eyes
?
Haskell’s incredibly good for writing parsers.
But oh boy is it difficult. We started with Haskell in the first semester CS and it was a pain. Kudos to anyone seriously developing in Haskell.
Eh, it’s just different. Other languages are hard in other ways. Haskell’s at least have very good reason behind them.
I write Haskell professionally and and am teaching to people without any experience, and it’s really no different than anything else. Though I will say that my experience is that university professors are often pretty clueless about the language and don’t teach it well.
I think it’s the paradigm change. Most people including myself learnt some kind of procedural language in school, shifting towards functional thinking is just very difficult. But of course that’s a skill a computer scientist must have and one of the reasons I didn’t graduate.
