What are the craziest misconceptions you’ve heard about programming from people not familiar with it?

Jump

  • I once watched a video lecture from the guy that implemented lambdas in the JVM and he was giving community feedback that he received. He said, "Obvious but wrong answers have the word 'just'."

    • You have the right to remain silent

    Jump

  • wait, in C++, if you don't assign the value to that pointer, it'll be whatever happens to be at that block of memory of something!?

    • Why would socialism do this?

    Jump

  • I had a guy at a bar tell me that socialism and fascism were the same thing

    • This is extremely concerning for me . Thoughts ?

  • I actually think that deleting all your data and deleting your profile should be different operations. A lot of people "delete" a profile for a while and then come back.

    But yeah, as others pointed out, federated servers requires all participants to obey the delete request

    • Right wings and their nonbelieve in science

  • Star Trek did come after world wars that nearly ended humanity, so you're not far off

    • Care to join me for a game?

    Jump

  • In order to bite you, Strahd shaves the fur first. After the third time, you get the cone of shame

    • Why were American soldiers in Jordan in the first place?

    Jump

  • I would argue that Jordan can definitely NOT kick the US out. Not without having their whole country destroyed

    • Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts?

    Jump

  • oh shit you have the actual physical layout! did you move the keys yourself?

    • Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts?

    Jump

  • I use colemak and swap the caps lock and backspace keys. It works well for both coding and typing in non-english languages that I know. But those are just the ones that I know

    • all power to the purrletariat

    Jump

  • I just want to point out that the shrooms in this wreath will absolutely kill you. Do not eat.

    • ICJ upholds South Africa’s case against Israel, orders measures to prevent genocide in Gaza

    Jump

  • I'm listening to a podcast where, unfortunately, given the history of similar events, such as when the ICJ said that the US committed war crimes against Nicaragua and owed them reparations, then the matter when to the UN Security council where the US vetoed it.

    The same will likely happen here

    • Bacteria share genes all the time. RMS would approve

    Jump

  • oh holy fuck, that was good!

    • What keyboard you recommend for coding?

    Jump

  • I'd go with an ergonomic one to avoid pain on the outside of the wrists. I also use a vertical mouse for the same reason
