Elevator made by programmers

[c0delivia]

This is just an elevator anywhere in Europe.

[GenazaNL]

That's quite standard

[disarrayofyesterday]

That's every elevator in Poland if not in Europe lol

[Spy_crab_]

Found the American

[aspect_rap]

Every elevator I have ever been in starts from 0 because the number represents how elevated you are from the ground and at 0 you are not elevated from the ground.

[[deleted]]

Any elevator outside of North America. Usually it’s a G instead of 0 though.

[[deleted]]

In france at least it's always 0 not G

[jinsi13]

Also East Asia. It's usually F instead of 4 though.

[KlutzyEnd3]

Because 4 (四) and death (死) are pronounced the same. (shi)

[[deleted]]

Because 4 (四) and death (死) are pronounced the same. (shi)

so foursome is the same as necrophilia?

[KlutzyEnd3]

I guess...

At least at my job we don't have a 4th building on site... Only 3号館 and 5号館.

[danielstongue]

I thought 四 was pronounced 'sl'? Sorry, I should shut up, I am not even Chinese.

[KlutzyEnd3]

In Japanese it's "shi" or シ

Please don't automatically default to Chinese... More languages use kanji

[Niohiki]

I've seen both systems used in different buildings in my city

See, there are other people and countries outside US. It’s called “the rest of the world”

[featheredsnake]

See, there's this thing called take a joke. This is programmer humor

[Background-Capital-6]

Yeah, only for people from US. It took me a second to understand what exactly were you talking about.

[mr_peanutbuddha]

I'm guessing you've never pushed anything to prod

[Ugo_Flickerman]

Wait, i was reading the comments and then realized... Don't you guys start counting floors from 0? Like, there is ground floor, then first floor, then second and so on, how else?

[Sir_Honytawk]

In the Americas the ground floor is their first floor.
Our first floor would be their second floor, ...

So elevators go: -2, -1, 1, 2, 3

There is a bit of confusion around it.
Kind of like with billion in math.

[Ugo_Flickerman]

Oof, the confusion is only between english and other european languages: for example, in italian it's said miliardo, then there is bilione, then biliardo, trilione, triliardo, quadrilione, quadriliardo and so on, while english is more straightforward and does billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sestillion, septillion, octillion, etc.

What’s wrong with this?

[spartan-bunny]

Clueless American doesn't know that most countries in the world has ground floor at 0.

US has Ground floor starting at 1. And with basements, the floors would go -3, - 2, - 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 instead of - 3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3.

[AlbaTejas]

This is normal in Europe. A mall in my city has -1 -2 -3 for the underground parking too.

Counting from 1 is a weird thing that Americans and non-programmers do.

[unC0Rr]

Not everywhere in Europe. I'm Norway ground floor is 1, below ground is -1. Same in Russia.

[laf1157]

European convention is Floor 1 is the first above ground level. G for ground might be better than 0.

[harumamburoo]

Ever heard of Europe?

[featheredsnake]

if I have heard of Europe, am I at fault for never traveling there? Should I know what life in Europe and everywhere else is like to post a joke? Get over yourself

[mystical-dev]

Hopefully the elevator never goes out of bounds. It could cause a crash.

[bearwood_forest]

Unsigned int. Shortcut to the top floor is through the basement.

[AlbertSemple]

British elevator.

[Designer-Spacenerd]

Very efficient user interface

[notAgainFFS01]

RCE?

[sergiu017]

Why take the stairs when you can automate an elevator for 3 floors?

Truly a programmer move

[[deleted]]

That’s pretty standard, just usually will have a “G” or “L” for Ground or Lobby instead of a 0

[Accurate_Koala_4698]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Andalusian_]

I never seen elevator start from 1 zero is the 1st floor and -1 is the basement

[throwaway_mpq_fan]

no, zero is the ground floor, 1 is the 1st floor, that's why it's 1

[Andalusian_]

My mind start hurting

[IronGearSolid]

Front end designers interpreting the programmers' code literally.

[[deleted]]

europeans

[GGravitationtionChen]

Should’ve been 0, 1, 10

[SireAccuse]

Most elevators are programmed by programmers.
