I am trans
Do i need to learn rust?
I’m a rust developer, do I need to transition?
To both of you a clear yes!
RemindMe! 2 years
Good read, thanks
But I believe in generics, just write your functions so that it can work with all the types ;)
translation: Just get rid of what is a boy or a girl thing. Just let people do what they like.
The idea of abolishing all gendering of things is a curiously contested one within LGBT+ spaces, as far as I can see.
I can understand how people wishing to be identified a certain way have a vested interest in the existence of markers for that identity.
On the other hand, I wish painting my nails wasn’t fem-coded on some level. Of course guys can do so too, but the only “guy” I knew who did so regularly eventually turned out not to be a guy, which doesn’t exactly help me ignore that connotation.
Only if you like women
Let’s not go referring to vibe coders as developers, now.
I was a C/C++ dev for a long time. Then a while back I got an ewaste Thinkpad running Linux and have started developing in Rust. When do my programming socks show up?
MatLab user
I like how it doesn’t say “coder” because everyone knows MatLab isn’t a real programming language
Gnu octave on the other hand…
It’s realer than vibe coding.
Tru dat
Then what’s Java?
A language for describing frameworks.
Allegedly, some people use it for implementations too, but I don’t know if it’s really suited for that.
Shadow that is cast by the sins of men
LMAOOOO
Coffee? Idk I’m not a coder, I just know MatLab lol
A hive of villiany and boilerplate
Exorcist
As a c++ professor, I would never lie to my students like this.
C++ lets you assign variables with <%%> in case your parents were killed by an equals sign.
TIL about
bat! Looks awesome!Bat is really cool - I share your enthusiasm! As far as I remember, the repo for bat has a bunch of example use cases that I hadn’t thought of, fyi!
I have the perfect module to use this once. Most people will see it and will figure out that it is doing what it should, but no one can change it because the file will be LFS locked like 99% of the time.
Finally, someone gets it
What is happening there?
Is it about templates? I can’t find any reference for that syntax.
I mixed digraphs and initilization together.
Oh, I didn’t know about digraphs at all. C++ is a really big language.
And wow, that’s a well hidden footgun.
Am a trans Rust developer. Can confirm.
I’m old and remember when all the trans women were Haskellers. now they’ve all moved to Rust and here I am, still toiling away with my monads and combinators, a lonely spinster. 😔
Do I get points for being an F# nerd?
#include <delusion>delusion was added in C++24 and we are stuck in C++03 😭
The word for R Studio fan is “scientist”
Scientists too busy writing grant proposals to realise that the developers of RStudio have made Positron, which is VS Code based and generally better
having a C# dev boyfriend would be such a boon. “hey honeyyy? unity is not doing what I want it to, can you be my rubber ducky? <3” Wait, I remebered I am using Unreal/ C++ now. Nevermind. 10/10 accurate diagram.
C++, ew, no thanks, also where is C??
You can’t spell “INCEL” without “C”
😭😭😭😭
Whew! Thankfully I’m a gay JavaScript user
everybody on the internet is a javascript user! do you even develop, bro?
I guess I pretend to with limp wrists.
Is that why people keep calling each other gay online?
They’re putting scripting in the webpages, that TURNS THE FRICKEN USERS GAY
Brendan Eich was a Dark Programmer of the Netscape, so powerful and so wise he could use the scripts to influence the sexuality to create gay… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from straight. The dark side of the Bit is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did.
Unfortunately, he sent the anti-gay everything he had, then a woman touched him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from straight, but not himself.

Me, looking between a picture of Bjarne Stroustrup and OP: … are you sure about that?
Who’s that?
This sexy hunk is the inventor of C++
I knew that, just wanted to test you.
SQL enjoyer?
Every time I use it I feels like I’m going back to the 90s. No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE or subquery…👍
UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL… “There’s got to be a better way, surely…”
looks up better way
“Oh, what the fuck?!.. Nope, this will just be quicker…” UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL…
Join in a table sharing column names… Everything breaks. You gotta put the new prefixes in front of all the headers you called in now. In every select, in every where, etc… Which is weird because that kinda works like a variable and it’s fine…
“When you see this little piece of text, it means all this, got it?”
“Okay. Yep. Easy.”
“So why can’t you do that with expressions?”
SQL SCREAMS MANICALLY
“Okay, okay, okay!.. Jesus…”
And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won’t let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter…
I hate it. It has speed, when you can finally run the script, but everything up to that is so…ugh.
Personally I feel like SQL syntax is upside down, and things are used before they are defined.
SELECT a.id -- what the fuck is a? , a.name , b.city -- and b?? from users a -- oh join city b on a.id = b.user_id -- oh here's bI’d expect it to instead be like
From users a join city b on a.id = b.user_id SELECT a.id, a.name, b.cityIt seems that you need to get better. There are plenty of valid complaints against SQL, but your problems seem to be all due to lack of familiarity.
No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE
Yeah, CTEs are more expressive than variables. And as somebody pointed, every database out there supports functions, you may want to look how they work.
UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL… “There’s got to be a better way, surely…”
What do you mean by a “better way”? Union all is a perfectly valid operation.
And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won’t let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter…
Window functions exist.
While I agree that “SQL Enjoyer” seems like a weird category, I personally love SQL. I’ve been using it professionally for over 20 years, and I’ve yet to encounter a more elegant, efficient, and practical language for handling data in a relational database. Every attempt I’ve seen to replace it with something simpler has fallen far short.
Which database systems were you dealing with, that didn’t allow variables? My personal favorite is PostgreSQL, which does allow them on scripting languages, such as PLPGSQL.
See, I don’t have to worry about such details. I work in corporate software dev, which means that everything is an MSSQL database where most of the tables contain only an ID of a table-specific format and a JSON blob. Why use an ORM when you can badly reimplement NoSQL in a relational database instead?
hey hey, there there. don’t worry. most of the major NoSQL DBs implement just as horrible of travesties
Yep.
PostgreSQL is where its at, everybody else just hasn’t figured that out yet.
No variables, no functions
Every major SQL implementation includes both of those things. Of course, it’s rarely needed or desirable if you know how to properly write SQL.
“So why can’t you do that with expressions?”
You can alias expressions.
And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won’t let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter…
Wtf are you talking about? For one, filtering by the output of an aggregate is what the
HAVINGclause is for. But even if that didn’t exist, you could just use a subquery instead. You don’t need to make table…Tbh it just sounds like you don’t know SQL very well. Which is fine, but doesn’t make for a very compelling criticism. SQL does have warts (even though it’s great overall), but none of what you described are real problems.
LEFT JOIN
Includes empty entries, doubles others.
…
It sure is long due for an overhaul.
That’s the whole point of a left join? Anything else wouldn’t be a left join anymore.
Well I didn’t expect doubles. I’m sure not an expert.
It doesn’t arbitrarily double rows or something. For each row in the relation on the left of the join, it will produce 1 or more rows depending on how many rows in the relation on the right of the join match the join condition. The output relation of the join may have duplicate rows depending on the contents of each joined relation as well as what columns you are projecting from each.
If you want to remove duplicates, that’s what
DISTINCTis for.Thanks, I will kot forget that the next time I have to do SQL!
Still wild there are no simpler language that have grown in popilarity for databases though.
To be honest, it’s remarkably simple for what it’s doing. There’s a ton of details that are abstracted away. Databases are massively complex things, yet we can write simple queries to interact with them, with semantics that are well-understood and documented. I think, like anything else, it requires a bit of effort to learn (not a lot, though). Once you do, it’s pretty easy to use. I’ve seen many non-technical people learn enough to write one-off queries for their own purposes, which I think is a testament to its simplicity.
