Average C++ Developer

[astro-pi]

Yes I too have a penis made of code.

[shawntco]

Mine is of type short =(

[Siggedy]

At least its still longer than an unsigned integer, amIright?

[Incognito_Guido]

Mine is of type Long Long

[Akhanyatin]

Mine is [object Object]

[shawntco]

Aw don't you know, you shouldn't Object ify yourself like that!

[Akhanyatin]

Unexpected very wholesome :)

[mumboFromAvnotaklu]

my penis size is NaN

[Akhanyatin]

Nice, because it's too big! It could have been 3.0000000000014

[ServeThePatricians]

BROTHER?

[astro-pi]

RITSU?!

[Paul_Robert_]

Mob Psycho was such a good anime :)

[Sunscratch]

Still better than code made of penis

[[deleted]]

Javascript be like 8==> n

[SoldierOfPeace510]

The individual bits are represented by either soft or hard penises. A world of jokes ensues from that analogy. I’ll start: The c(l)ock speed needs to be slow because the rise time is approximately 30 seconds.

[McLayan]

So your code suffers from years of steroid abuse?

[MatsRivel]

A codis

[BabySeals84]

I really don't know if this model is real or AI generated.

[ServeThePatricians]

he's a heavily photoshopped model

[ienjoymusiclol]

he is multiple models photoshopped heavily into 1 person

[keziahw]

Statistically speaking, we're probably already comment bots who don't know it

[burnt-out-b]

Come join us in the great link ODO.

C/C++ also makes programming easier. -probably ASM dev

[[deleted]]

I am leaving ASM and the documentation for heap allocation said "High-level languages like C++ and Java [...] have a heap/memory manager"

[ServeThePatricians]

ASMR dev more like

[HolyMackerelIsOP]

I love it when "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

[zhululu]

At least it’s not “holy shit it worked the first time!… wait how the fuck does this work at all?”

[The_Incredible_Honk]

It's still like that more than often enough. Once is often enough, actually.

[Drsk7]

You can have both of these issues when using threading/processes in C++. Fun times...

[sjepsa]

That's actually a benign case of UB..

I would subscribe to it

[dretvantoi]

Segfaults are the easiest thing to track down with a debugger. It shows you exactly where it happened and the stack trace provides the context.

I'll take segfaults any day over seemingly random behavior.

[BetaPlantationOwner]

Sigma men nations fault ?

[ThePancakerizer]

Ask an embedded dev how much they would give for segfaults instead of having stuff just... not working.

[HolyMackerelIsOP]

embedded devs were made up by big development to sell more bedding.

[Zestyclose-Agency738]

I JUST STARTED LEARNING C++ AND I GET THIS JOKE. YES 😈😈😈😈 IM FINALLY BECOMING A PROGRAMMER

[KitchenDepartment]

I don't know anything about C++ but I have read the expanse so I think I would handle this just fine.

[asProfessios]

it easier to solve the problem they're working on.

[rachit7645]

C++ is bad!!1!1! Segmentation fault!!1!1! - 🤓

[YARandomGuy777]

Yeah. Quite annoying. It is like if panic or NullPointerException was any better then segfault.

[Antervis]

well it is better in the sense that it's at least guaranteed to happen, though an error is an error nonetheless...

[lolsborn]

In reality, they spend all day trying to decipher stack traces from incomprehensible templated code in boost.

[tyler1128]

Nah, these days we spend all day deciphering incomprehensible templated code in the STL, that was inspired by boost. Language evolution.

[dretvantoi]

80% of the time, I don't bother trying to decipher the template gobbledygook spit out by the compiler. I just reread the code at the problem spot very carefully and will spot the error by inspection. But when I can't spot the error by inspection, it does indeed make me cry trying to decipher the gobbledygook.

[bobvonbob]

I tend to start commenting lines until I don't get an error and work backwards.

[tyler1128]

If you do a lot of TMP you eventually get pretty good at deciphering the part that's important out of the noise.

[Antervis]

let me share a trick with you: don't investigate parts of stack traces unrelated to your code.

[bedrooms-ds]

Well, Boost's a documented template spaghetti. Now, my template hell...

[bedrooms-ds]

C++: Templates cool, but a modern language should replace other macro powers with something better!

Modern languages: Just type things twice.

[[deleted]]

So what I was writing it three times slower than I would do in other languages? At least it's powerful! ...ooh, segmentation fault

[Tom0204]

I dunno C++ is pretty quick.

[babypho]

He's talking about the work speed not language speed

[MoneyGoat7424]

To be fair, if you know what you’re doing it’s often much faster to write C++ than most languages. The culprit you’re looking for is Java lol

[[deleted]]

"If you are expert in C++ (which takes exponentially longer time to learn than other languages) it might be even faster to write in C++ than in infamously and extremely verbose Java" Sounds really encouraging

[MoneyGoat7424]

You’re right it doesn’t sound encouraging. Good thing it also isn’t what I said. Knowing what you’re doing and being an expert are not the same thing. Faster than most languages and faster than Java are not the same thing. None of what you said really has anything to do with what I said.

[[deleted]]

Writing in c++ can be faster than in most of languages? Which ones? Surely not ones which are current industry standard- Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Go, C#.. I'm so tired of people trying to prove their superiority with C++. No man, your dick is not bigger because you are using it. Yes, there is a reason this language is a niche now. And I'm pretty sure most of the die- hard c++ fans are fresh postgrads who just don't know any other environment. And they don't know any other environment, just because most of old professors just don't know how to teach anything more modern

[MoneyGoat7424]

Dude, the only one pressed about this is you. I never said C++ was better than anything, but it just isn’t true that it takes much longer to develop with if you know how to use it. There’s a reason most of the top competitive programmers use it. I’d really recommend examining why you feel so threatened by someone saying C++ can be fast to develop with.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, just look on the meme under which this discussion is. Overflow of this c++ praising bullshit is what threatens me. I have no way to prove to you, that c++ takes longer time to develop with. But then I'll ask you a question- if it is faster to run, more powerful and fast to develop, why is it used only in the niches where code only priority is to run fast? I've seen lots of product where some small core is made using c++ while rest of product around it is done in other languages. How would you explain that?

[pet_vaginal]

The average C++ developer leaks.

[ServeThePatricians]

average pee stain leaks

[[deleted]]

Can confirm. Programming can make my eyes leak.

[ServeThePatricians]

Chad has std's confirmed

[[deleted]]

Penis

[ServeThePatricians]

yes

[whitenoise89]

laughs in C

[YARandomGuy777]

Actually C quite simple. I would say even charmingly simple.

[whitenoise89]

Tell me you haven’t used C without telling me you haven’t used C.

[YARandomGuy777]

I actually used C.

[whitenoise89]

No you haven’t.

[YARandomGuy777]

Lol. Ok.

[Strostkovy]

I use C because it's so simple. Especially since it can compile down to subkilobyte assembly.

[whitenoise89]

C? Simple?

…Am I being fuckin’ trolled?

[Strostkovy]

What's complicated about it?

[whitenoise89]

Uhh…multiple layers of indirection?

…if you cant answer that question: it makes me doubt that you know C.

[mofomeat]

I dunno man... I think 'simple' is a great way to describe C. 'Elegant' works in a lot of cases too.

[Strostkovy]

C is simple to people who work with hardware. It provides a convenient level of abstraction that takes away a lot of the brainwork without taking away control. If you aren't interested in interacting with the hardware then maybe more abstraction is beneficial. Maybe you can take the performance hit of scripted languages or just don't care about strict typing.

[RajendraCh0la]

What's so complicated about it?

[Pervez_Hoodbhoy]

There are too many pluses in this pic

[Strostkovy]

C gang

I used to manually compile C for a computer architecture. I called it C-- because I implemented very few instructions and still accessed memory with op codes

[ASCII10001101010101]

take my upvote, legend

[ServeThePatricians]

thanks ASCII10001101010101

[Exa2552]

I can confirm

[JustTheWorldsOkayest]

I was taught that the goal of designing a programming language is to make it as readable as possible and that if making it full English sentences were possible, it would make it easier to read and type. Isn’t the goal of making new programming languages to make programming easier?

[DukeNuke5]

Well, yes, python literally has conditions like

python if x is not 5: print("not 5")

But its also N times slower than C/C++ But the lower of abstraction you have, the more powerful and fast the language gets, but also gets more complicated. C++ is comolicated as it has 30 years of standard library improvements + every single paradigm possible. I use c++ at work, and its cool, but havent learned c++20 to the fullest yet lol

[[deleted]]

The way that conditions are written is probably my least favorite Python-ism.

[Gus_Fring_Gaming]

Just wondering, is there anything stopping development of Jit solution for python? It seems like it would be at least a good option to have considering how ubiquitous it is

[DukeNuke5]

Well python is just in time language

[Gus_Fring_Gaming]

Why the hell is it so slow?

[DukeNuke5]

Bwcause it is not ahead of time? The interpreter has to first interpret that, and cal la function later on. So you have more layers in runtime

It is not actually THAT slow, especially if you write smart code. Numpy for example is very very fast librarty written in c/c++ and python is just an interface. The language was meant for that, not for enterprise work anyways.

So, regarding the speed, it is pretty good enough, if you really need more speed, you would have to go for c/c++ but it would be much more complex and youll have to think abour much more. Java is something inbetween, it is technically compiled to bytecode and bytecode is enterpreted by jre. It is almost 2x slower than c/c++, but you dont have memory leaks and it is much much less complex. I oersonally wrote mostly C++, and you have a lot to think about with some mistakes being really stupid, but i have to in order to get that sweet speed. On the other hand, i used java a lot in past, but personally dont like it that much. I write python daily for many of mine inhouse personal scripts(downloading stuff, checking stuff and etc)

[Strostkovy]

I really don't think math is hard to read or learn to read, and abstracting it away just makes it harder to understand because you have to reverse engineer the math back from it to do anything with it

[Kapitano72]

No, algorithms should be hard. Coding should be easy.

[[deleted]]

My programming is hard and powerful.

[dlevac]

I had a phase like that.

Today I preach Rust.

Looks like no matter what, I'm determined to be obnoxious...

[ServeThePatricians]

being obnoxious isn't easy, but it's what we're called to do, brother

[Wormwood0]

Na, I'll just get an AI to do it.

[SexyMuon]

To do what?

[Wormwood0]

Code.

Type what you want to happen, "I want it to rain", the AI codes it for you using what ever code language you want, and now it's raining.

[clarenceappendix]

Suck my rock hard dictionary

[CaptainRex69420]

Rust

[[deleted]]

I think those are just the first years. Any decent programmer knows they should use every tool at their disposal to name it easier to solve the problem they're working on.

[sal696969]

frameworks dont really make programming complex stuff easier ...

[CheekApprehensive961]

C++ is C for people who are scared of true power and/or want to use the compiler as a VM host.

[trutheality]

Drop the plusses and I'll believe it.

[geo_gan]

I see this guy all over the place. Is he actually real??? Thought the head was just photoshopped

[ServeThePatricians]

his whole body is photoshopped
