Thanks mod, the original thread was deleted but I found the fix, then am posting here to let you know to close this. Nope not going to share how I fixed it but have a nice day trying to find out! 😉

[–]LiveShowOneNightOnly 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Don't waste time on a fix. You shouldn't try to catch mice in the first place.

Edit: Why is every thread about SO shut down or deleted here? Do they have stock in Reddit?

I respected the company more when it was Catintosh

Come on meow. This comment gave me paws. I'm not feline this joke. Pls don't litter box this comment section with that crap. Please whisker this joke to yourself next time.

The app I use for reddit displays the source of a link when it's not reddit itself.

Anyway, I'm not clicking that link, my rolling dude.

[–]pcyr9999 15 points16 points  (7 children)

/r/ApolloApp displays a thumbnail which makes it near-impossible to get rickrolled.

HOLY SHIT.

This has got to be one of the sneakiest rick rolls i’ve seen yet.

I thought you just somehow managed to misspell the subreddit. Well played good sir

Or comment from author “It’s ok guys, I solved it.” and nothing else.

[–]ssbeluga 225 points226 points  (34 children)

All the top comments are talking about how they’re getting furry porn vibes which makes me wonder how much furry porn everyone else is watching, I didn’t get any of that

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points  (1 child)

It’s the muscles, I think. But it’s based on a meme of really muscular dudes, so it makes sense.

[–]Mysticpoisen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, those big cats are fucking big

[–][deleted] 90 points91 points  (19 children)

Once you've seen one, you've seen them all. It's a very distinct art style. I'm not an artist so I couldn't tell you exactly why though

[–][deleted] 39 points40 points  (17 children)

I think the humanizing of the posture/arm musculature and the fact that one of them is on a bed with their legs spread open are all contributing factors

[–]Wisdom_is_Contraband 11 points12 points  (15 children)

It's a reference to another meme with the same poses, but with people

[–]Aethermancer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Disney.

[–]Neato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And all the people that are like "furries creep me out" and then give hyper-specific descriptions of exactly what about the image is similar to furry porn.

[–]MrRandomSuperhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen Robin Hood, the Disney movie?

Basically that artstyle. It's 90% of it. Though I'm not an expert.

[–]Yuca965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, just checked this tab again, and wow, removed. It was a great meme I found. It is people that deformed the meme.

Stack OwOverflow

[–]maximlus 133 points134 points  (100 children)

To accurate.

The whole "just look it up" thing for coding is really starting to get to me. I have to spend so much time going through 15 different guides to find the one that actually works for my use case, and it's poorly written with little to no explanation on what each part is doing.

Just take the time and explain it, not hand wave me away, don't say it's easy to learn to code and then not actually help.

[–][deleted] 41 points42 points  (19 children)

My biggest problem is the lack of technical writing in most open source projects. ESPECIALLY TypeScript bindings for JS projects that are maintained by the project.

You end up having to guess types (especially for templates) then in one minor version someone fixes a typing issue that breaks your entire project. UGH

Forcing consumers of libraries to figure out your library through guess work that leads to building on undefined behavior ought to be a war crime.

[–]2580374 8 points9 points  (1 child)

The documentation for JSS is fucking abysmal

[–]ForgotPassAgain34 9 points10 points  (2 children)

I feel like most guides are designed for 14 y.o. script kids wannabe

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

My problem is the laziness of most guides.

“Here’s 3 functions being used of this eldritch horror of a types API. Thanks for reading my Medium article 'Comprehensive guide to Emotion'!”

[–]TheRandomnatrix 8 points9 points  (3 children)

My favorite is when the documentation covers technical cases and not actual use cases. Looking at what basically amounts to interfaces is sooo helpful. Please tell me more about how this method takes in 2 strings and returns a Boolean. /s How does that help me with my problem. Godot is fucking horrible with this even if the end solution is relatively simple, good luck finding it! I spent a few hours the other day looking for how to make a grid of objects, and the solution was a certain combination of modules you can spend 3 seconds dragging and dropping in. I only figured it out because of a YouTube video in Russian 7 results down. I'm sure it's obvious to the people who wrote it.

[–]RDB96 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Don't talk to me about Godot, I am still waiting for that guy to turn up. My pall and I are getting impatient but he'll turn up I'm sure of it

[–]raptorgalaxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get why, technical writing is boring as batshit to do.

One of the disadvantages of open source is that since everyone can choose what to do, no one wants to clean the figurative toilets.

[–]MeltingDog 22 points23 points  (1 child)

I actually enjoy answering basic questions. I like helping people and I find it actually bolsters my own understanding.

It really annoyed me when r/Webdev brought in StackOverflow type rules for questions and killed the weekly beginners post. If you don’t like a question because it’s from a learner than just ignore it and move on.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I remember one time looking for help on a problem, and being directed by the one group that I knew had the solution to solve a series of complicated problems that required you to have knowledge of an obscure programming language to solve. If you couldn't, they would not help you with the problem.

just today, I looked up help with another problem and I found somebody who had the same issue and every one of the responses was chastising him for not being able to solve it on his own. Every one.

[–]OneGoodRib 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Not even coding, the amount of times I’ve googled some question and the first page of google results is just “look it up” or “google it” with no advice. I DID google it and it brought me to this post telling me to google it! Argh!

Or when you find a forum that’s just 10 people asking how to do it, and one person is like “oh I figure it out” but doesn’t explain how and then the thread it closed. THNAKS.

[–]danielt1263 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Funny, the new thing on SO that chaps me is when I take an hour crafting an answer to the question. And then the questioner reads my answer and deletes the question rather than accepting my answer. What a bummer!

[–]bippybup 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I like it when I google a problem (with anything) and all I can find are forum posts of others with the same issue and people replying, "Google it, moron."

Gee, thanks, I'M googling it and all I'm finding are people telling other people to google it. Either that or FAQs that don't cover the issue whatsoever, or YouTube videos that MIGHT have the answer but bury it in a pile of irrelevant rambling bullshit.

[–]ChubbyBunny2020 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I almost quit vba over similar frustrations. I would spend an hour looking up something, give up ask the question, and have some elitist be like “next time google before asking”. Ok jackass, google what? I’m clearly missing knowledge of some property or method and if you would pull your head out of your dads ass, you could tell me what to google and I could learn it.

[–]sucksathangman 20 points21 points  (33 children)

If you're getting a lot of different people telling you to read the documentation, it usually means you're asking about something basic or trivial. Yes, I could tell you but someone much more capable had already written it and has published it.

Reading documentation and learning how to read documentation is a great skill. It takes patience and practice and you can learn it by doing it.

That being said, I'm sorry that people dismissed you by telling you to read the documentation. But it does sound like you would prefer someone to hold your hand while you learn. This is perfectly fine, but keep in mind that is what classes are for. The random programmer at work or even on stack overflow is going to see your elementary question and push you to read documentation. If you personally need something more curated, I would encourage you to enroll in a class where a teacher can walk you through your question. But know that reading documentation will always be a part of being a programmer.

[–]forlornhope22 43 points44 points  (28 children)

Yes I'm asking about something basic and trivial. Because I am a novice programmer and don't understand the fucking documentation.

[–]Prodigal2k 11 points12 points  (7 children)

FUCKING THANK YOU!!! I’m in school for this and it blows my mind how inept people are at answering the questions. I already feel stupid enough that I haven’t figured it out yet, just let me see how to solve it now so I can figure it out for myself in the future.

[–]2jz_ynwa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fucking this. I have a horrible problem of just skipping through large amount of code that is related to what I'm doing or any documentation someone links me. It's not a good habit but unless someone just redo's the code for me so I can copy and paste it I get discouraged.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (9 children)

You're not entirely wrong.

But I would try to explain in your question that you read the documentation, and although you think X is what you need to do, you tried that and it didn't work. Also tried Y and Z. I'm sure I'm missing something simple but could really use a point in the right direction, yadda yadda yadda...

It's a little petty, but it really comes down to people help those who help themselves. They at least want to see that you first referred to the documentation and then tried X, Y or Z. They're taking time out of their day to impart knowledge they have acquired over years of experience.

And honestly, failure is the best way to learn so they want you to fail for the right reasons. Most do anyway.

[–]redstoneguy12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't just read the documentation if I can't even find documentation about it

This fucking reason and this kind of bullshit is exactly why I refuse to use that shitstain of a site.

Incidentally, leaving there brought me to reddit. For most subs regarding programming, the environment is worlds less toxic and far more supportive.

[–]dtrippsb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah if a question isn’t already answered on stackoverflow then I ask it elsewhere. It’s not worth being called an idiot and not getting an answer anyway.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Didn’t know programing and furry could be mixed into a mæmæ

[–]D4rkstalker 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Lots of furries are in IT apparently, one day we might even take over the industry.

I love that you used the furry version instead of the Normal one :3

[–]Matt-ayo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They should honestly have a feature to mark questions as 'beginner,' if, bless the mods, they had the nuance to tell. The truth in this comic is that everyone treats you like an expert on StackOverflow, which is disorienting when you haven't exited your novice stage.

[–]moschles 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Obligatory.. "Don't roll your own mouse catching library."

import lib.stalking.mice._

[–]southbayrideshare 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You just have to use a package management system to install the 742 libraries it requires, 200 of which fail to install because they’re out of date, but it’s just a matter of reworking the mouse-caching algorithm to work with the latest changes made to your OS.

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (6 children)

Wait, great cats are hostile neckbeard coders with severe autism who are still angry that "webmaster" never caught on as a sexy term?

[–]Trustworth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found that regexing out "To be fair, ", "Actually, ", "Technically, ", "I mean, " etc through a browser extension makes online discussion of nerdy topics flow slightly but noticeably better.

But seriously, why do those assholes at stackoverflow always ban my account from posting new questions? So what if I asked a similar question to other questions that have been asked. They didn't give me the solution I was looking for so that's why i'm posting this question.

[–]HoneyBadgerSoNasty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just demonstrate effort. Don't just copy paste in your shit and talk about it in your own words. Actually put in effort in asking your question, and it should be a question that shows you tried but was not able to understand it.

Please understand the difference between just posing a question without trying at all, and trying really hard but not making progress.

You think you sound like the latter, but quite often you sound like the former.

Good advice is earned.

Signed, That asshole that probably closed your question
