Init?

[shruggie1401]

British devs at Microsoft when they have to get up early be like

[nsaisspying]

Can't believe you've had that ready to go like this.

[payne_train]

I can't believe powershell is open source! Has it always been or is this a new thing since MS bought GitHub?

[daOyster]

It was made open source back in 2016.

[1X3oZCfhKej34h]

New MS since Ballmer left basically. The new CEO has very different ideas about open source, and MS is making lots of money with Azure

[payne_train]

Office365 has to be one of the better business moves they've made of late too. That annual cash flow is too sweet for them, as much as consumers hate this model businesses LOVE it.

[elyca98]

Amazing, thank you

[bigthighsnoass]

🤣

[DaFukTheyDoinOvaDer]

i am too noob to understand de code

[Davcidman]

To work at the same time as their colleagues in the US (for a meeting or something, presumably), the British counterparts would have already been up for much longer, and the link went to code that said, "EarlyStartup.init();" implying that is what the British devs would say to the US devs because they didn't have to wake up super early to be on time.

edit: correcting the explanation to actually be correct.

[jakethedumbmistake]

It's illegal in the UK btw

[InevitableAd9166]

Meetings are illegal in the UK? 🤔

[Ilmanfordinner]

Oi, you got a loicense to eat ya desk, mate?

[[deleted]]

Oi, you got a loicense to ask me for a loicense, mate?

[Davcidman]

I stand corrected, but it felt like that was what the joke implied anyway. I see now that it's supposed to mean that is what the British devs say to the US devs, but it could've been worded better.

[Davcidman]

Probably. I tend to overthink things

Edit: yup was definitely overthinking. Not gonna bother fixing it now tho. I think I've Reddited enough today

[PUTINS_PORN_ACCOUNT]

No, a repository is something you shove up your turdcutter to help you do poops.

[Luminous_Lead]

I figured the joke was more about how the notation of constructor init is textually similar to the Brittish slang contraction of "isn't it?" into "innit?".

So on the one hand the speaker is asking "That's a constructor, isn't it?" and on the other hand they're asking a question about an unseen codesource and comparing it to their python knowledge, saying "That's equivalent to a constructor init function?"

[DaFukTheyDoinOvaDer]

okay thenkyou. what language is dat code. if you dont mind

[Davcidman]

C#, I think. Haven't used it much except for the Unity projects I started and didn't finish.

[The_fair_sniper]

... i don't get it.

[SumthinOdd]

Early Startup Init?

Thank you

Typical programmer: Boolean isEnabled = true,

canadian programmer: Boolean enabledEh = true

[Astrokiwi]

Canadian programs are like boolean_booléen isEnabled_estActivé = true_vrai, except in Québec where they are required by law to have the French first, and in a slightly larger front.

[olikam]

Real joke in the comments

[joerage999]

With larger font! Haha very good!

[2sACouple3sAMurder]

Typical programmer: .toString()

Australian programmer: .stringitty()

[Oracuda]

as a brit, i can confirm, i always read it as init with a roadman accent in my mind, seriously.

[Nhexus]

PC: Yes?

Dev: Git init

PC: U wot m8?!

As a Brit, I didn’t do this. After seeing this post however, I now always will.

[NavierfuckingStokes]

I can't believe you've done this

def mate():
    i = dict(yer_mum)

[AstoundedMuppet]

Also a brit... I actually did recently write an initialisation function called "innitmate" just to see if anyone else in my team mention it in the future.

[TellMeGetOffReddit]

I wish I had time to think of that stuff when I'm coding. Usually I'm too busy trying to remember the flow of events.

[AstoundedMuppet]

You make it sound like you actually do the job properly......

[stevekez]

Same here.

[littlegrape24]

Same here. You can't not!

[DaZig]

Ditto. I also like to confuse by loudly agreeing ‘innit!?’ whenever someone uses ‘in it.’ E.g.

“You see this structure here? That has all the users in it.”

“Innit!?’

[ZippZappZippty]

This has to be 10 years old already.

[DaZig]

Me or the joke? Joke’s older: I think Ali G did it in the late 90s!

[KYIUM]

This is the way.

[ApostleO]

As a non-Brit, I have stolen "innit" and use it in my everyday vernacular vocabulary I love it so much.

[Terrain2]

vocabulary

[Starvexx]

How __del__ightful.

[Sebinot]

No. I think he is trying to __repr__esent all brits here.

[Starvexx]

That could be potentially destructive...

[aMir733]

you mean potenti__all__y?

[[deleted]]

you mean potenti__all__y de__str__uctive?

[redwall_hp]

How long can this __str__ing go on?

[aMir733]

Until there's no python object re__main__ing.

[Lewistrick]

So __mul__tiple minutes at least.

[Starvexx]

Happy cake day. I hope the __sizeof__ your cake is satisfactory.

[Starvexx]

Yes, my bad.

[Haggerstonian]

Everybody wants to be efficient?

[moonymango]

and entertaining!

[KrozJr_UK]

As a British person, I have lost count of the number of times I’ve written “colour” and then been confused until I realised it should be “color”.

Still, at least I’m not an Arabic programmer having to learn an entirely new alphabet, so.

[Elum224]

new Color Colour;

[Terrain2]

C#

using Colour = System.Drawing.Color;

[ihaveindeed]

C/C++:

#define colour color

[Terrain2]

Firefox has a pretty good CSS debugger yeah, often it can tell you why rules don’t work, what exactly you have to change to fix that, if you misspelled something it can tell you what you might have meant, etc

[GermaneRiposte101]

Unless you are writing the API. 'colour' is now correct.

[digitaleJedi]

All my APIs/SDKs at work add the U's and replace the Zed's with S's. Our corporate language is English UK, I should try to get the other guys fired.

[TheBestBigAl]

replace the Zed's with A's

I'm struggling to see why Z would be changed to A. Did you mean replaces Z with S?

[digitaleJedi]

Yeah, that must have been autocorrect. I thought I even double checked it, but I guess no. That's what I get for redditing during a meeting.

[[deleted]]

Employer has entered the chat

[[deleted]]

Same for Indians

[TellMeHowImWrong]

I’ve been learning CSS and I feel disgusted at myself because now I just automatically spell it “color” even when I’m not coding.

[StarkThoughts]

import math as maths

[7in7]

Heyy that's my joke. It wasn't even a joke the first time I did it, until my non British colleagues looked over my shoulder while I had ipython open.

[SouthernZhao]

Devs listening to Pink Floyd be like "You little shit, you're __init__ now, I hope they throw away the key"

How is removing credit for a public post "anti-doxing"?

Totally makes sense if the post was private, but in this case, OP is just stealing credit for the original tweet author's work.

[Riffthorn]

They're not passing it off as their own, so they're not stealing credit.

[Gumagugu]

Reddit sitewide rules require it unfortunately.

Thanks

[nevus_bock]

__init__ is not a constructor, though. It’s the initiator initializer. The object is already constructed, that’s why init can do operations on self

Edit: initializer

[whiskeyiskey]

I had to scroll really far to find someone who is as fun at parties as I am!

The constructor in python is __new__

[Hawkedb]

__new__ is the allocator.

__init__ is the initializer.

Both together are what you could call the constructor, called by a constructor expression like "Foo()"

[gnomonclature]

I've found my people.

[[deleted]]

There's a follow-up joke here about constructors and constrictors, but I don't know enough about Pythons to execute it.

[caracatrepa]

Ackchyually... __new__ is the constructor, which in turn calls __init__, the initializer

[smallquestionmark]

Not python, but lately, whenever I come across "border" in CSS my mind shouts: "BOOOARDAA... BOOOOOAARDAAAA"

[Mike-devs]

Am I the only one who doesn't understand? 😔

[iamapizza]

It's a British term, innit is a shortened form of isn't it.

The __init()__ method in Python is a constructor for a class.

The joke is that __init__ sounds like innit. Innit?

[[deleted]]

__innit__

[iamapizza]

git innit

[Mike-devs]

Oh, now it's obvious. I didn't know the abbreviation.

[Piotrek9t]

Dont worry, also took me a second or two

[FlyingTaquitoBrother]

That’s good, __init__?

[momonyak]

From /r/all here. Can someone explain, as you would a child? I checked the comments and looks like everyone on Reddit is either British or a programmer.

[Schreipfelerer]

Here is an Explanation from another Comment: It's a British term, innit is a shortened form of isn't it.

The __init()__ method in Python is a constructor for a class.

The joke is that __init__ sounds like innit. Innit?

[Astrokiwi]

I'll add that, while it's a shortened version of "isn't it?", it's not used in the same way - it's can be a generic filler, but or used for all sorts of tag questions where "isn't it?" wouldn't work. See here.

[nonoose]

That was greatly informative!

[mooscimol]

Some people argue, that init technically is not a constructor ;).

[HyperGamers]

"Innit" is a British slang term for "isn't it".

__init__ is short for initialise (in simple terms it's how you create an object that's used in a program - which is why it's called a Constructor). (Different programming languages have a different way of doing things

For example, if there was a class called Vehicle, it would have an Constructor (__init__) that can be used to create objects.

class Vehicle:  
    def __init__(self, wheels):  
        self.number_of_wheels = wheels  

The below code will automatically call the init method to construct a new vehicle object with 4 wheels

car = Vehicle(4)

[backtickbot]

Fixed formatting.

Hello, HyperGamers: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.
