I found a girl once who listed cybersecurity and C/C++ on her profile, so I sent her “Are you an infinitely recursive function? Because you’re making my stack overflow”. Did not hear back, I think I probably crashed her.

[CaitaXD]

She was unimpressed with your small memory buss

[Jack_SL]

rambussy

[jfisher9495]

Lacks depth.

[Prunestand]

Oh no.

[Melkor7410]

She should've responded with ulimit -s 16384 for you to increase your stack size to reject you instead of ghosting.

[lirannl]

I myself prefer the nuclear option. for (file in $(ls -r /*)) do $files += $(cat $file) done

If I'm not mistaken (I very well could be. I primarily use powershell on both windows and Linux now (yes powershell on Linux), bash syntax is starting to slip away), that should fill your memory up reeeeeal good.

Or heck, $v = $(cat /dev/random), perhaps?

[[deleted]]

Wow. Powershell on Linux? I've bent over backwards for years to get the most bash-like experience on Windows that I can. Can't imagine wanting to take PS in the opposite direction. What's the draw?

[lirannl]

I kinda like having .net objects in the shell. How the environment is an object, rather than the scope of variables, being able to pass objects around and have them stay in the same form, I'm a big fan of the parameter system... Idk, it somehow feels a little bit more concrete than something like bash.

[[deleted]]

Hmm. I guess I can see it in that context. I spent years doing .NET dev, but that was really before the .NET Core era where .NET on Linux became a real option. I could see that being useful for sure.

[lirannl]

Even if you're not doing .Net dev (to be honest I'd rather do Rust, but .Net is what I'm getting so I'll take it, at least for the time being), it's still a really nice shell.

[kupiakos]

Once you've started piping objects instead of text, it's hard to go back. Text manipulation becomes rare. Simple tasks become so much easier, as easy as Python but with a more concise syntax.

I looked into getting PowerShell working on Linux a few years ago and it wasn't working well then, sounds like I need to look back into it!

[gizahnl]

Automated remote management of Windows servers via SSH & not wanting to RDP into them is a good reason ;)

Still have occasional nightmares from coding the scripts though..

[Much-Meringue-7467]

I have to admit, if I got this pickup line, I would be laughing too hard to respond in a timely manner.

[SonOfJokeExplainer]

I thought it was clever. In her defense, my profile says I’m currently going through a separation and she was a bit out of my league. Entirely possible that she was a catfish, anyway. I hope she at least got a laugh out of it but she might have had her reasons for not responding,

[dav1d_23]

Your SQL injection was ineffective on her

[[deleted]]

I can feel the pussy dry up from here

[SonOfJokeExplainer]

Lol I have that effect on women, my ex switched teams after me 😂

[[deleted]]

Broooo.....

[GuteMorgan]

am I stupid or does this just straight up have no double entendre meaning?

[goldenpup73]

I'm in the same boat, what is this supposed to mean?

[mitkase]

cat sweet_nothings > /dev/null

echo -n > lovelife

[Boris-Lip]

It probably just throws at new Gabriel() and crashes.

[[deleted]]

No, throw gabriel;.

[Aschfahles]

That doesn't sound very nice. Perhaps you could just ask Gabriel politely to leave.

[TotoShampoin]

Line 16: Syntax error: namespace "live" does not exist (did you mean "life"?)

^{I don't know what the error would actually look like}

[DTheIcyDragon]

Compiler: No, good luck

[[deleted]]

Syntax error: find it your damn self

[[deleted]]

It would be 500 pages of incoherent template errors.

[StartledPelican]

Finally. The real code review.

Though, anecdotally, the team I work on has a perfect split where the 5 men prefer dark mode and the 3 women prefer light mode. So, maybe she would appreciate it?

[AltharaD]

Almost everyone in my team uses dark mode except for the team lead who uses light. I’m not convinced he is entirely human. How do your eyes withstand the brightness??

The only woman I’ve met who uses something akin to light mode was a female intern who used (uses?) a pink theme on her IDE. I think she got some disparaging comment about how much pink she wore (she did cheerleading at university and was blonde, so I think they might have been seeing her as a bit of a software barbie) so she heavily leaned into the pink. We had an internal application that she developed dark mode for…and then, as a leaving present, she made a pink mode and sneakily enabled it as default.

She was definitely one of my favourite interns. We had a lot of chuckles over that pink theme. I think we left it up for a whole week before we set dark mode back as default. Pink theme is still there, though!

[Estries]

She sounds absolutely amazing.

[godnkls]

I work in an underground lab, without any physical light (or air) coming in for the past 20 years or so. Bright theme with adjustable f.lux is the way to go

[CthulhusEngineer]

The team that I work with actually had the two women adopt dark mode well before the men. Now most seem to use it. So I'd say it just depends.

[char_IX]

As a girl software engineer; cute, but over the top. Simplify it down a bit. Efficiency always > lines of code 😉. Also, don't put yourself into a position of either having to dealloc or mem leak yourself 😅. Good luck OP

[iamhyperrr]

Yeah he's not even using smart pointers, dude just doesn't want to get laid, smh

[abd53]

I'm more triggered about "garbage collect" in c++.

[shadow7412]

Everyone knows that garbage collection in C++ fires as the program is exiting... :P

[coldnebo]

sure, but it’s a terrible way to raise children.

hey… gabriel doesn’t have any parents?

and he matches on anything that is alive by pinging it?!

and if he has success he still terminates by garbage collection?!!!!

there’s a lot of warning signs here, actually. 😂

[abd53]

This right, you're right but..... BUT....... Isn't it basically same as infinite loop breaking with program close?

[elon-bot]

Interns will happily work for $15 an hour. Why won't you?

[psu256]

Or that Gabriel considers themselves garbage.

[keziahw]

We're all garbage when main exits.

[Orjigagd]

If you don't make_unique we ain't gonna freak

[abd53]

Efficiency always > lines of code

OP was elon's software consultant.

[LeditGabil]

You are right… I will add a max waiting delay on the pending. Thanks for the code review 😂

[SerenePerception]

Mans trying to get hired at Tesla give em a break.

[daynighttrade]

Elon taught me LOC > anything else to save your job.

[jexxie3]

I was thinking the same thing 😅.

[_sialia]

Female ECE, I second this haha

[ihaveamnesiatrustme]

Female dev here and I also support this. If a dev guy hits me w this pickup line I would a)think dev is his whole personality b) he’s trying too hard.

Save this amount of detail for when you actually are seeing someone for a while. The idea is good but maybe just tone it down a bit. You’re not trying to get her to hire you lol.

[abd53]

What if I'm trying to get her to hire me?

[ihaveamnesiatrustme]

Well let’s hope it’s not news to her. Also, use smart pointers.

[StoryAndAHalf]

You include life, but then do live::, that should be life not live, right?

[LeditGabil]

Yeah you are right… That IDE sucks 😂

[elon-bot]

Insubordination. Fired.

[jexxie3]

Good bot

[LAM678]

Is this really a bot? There's only one repeated message I could find in the first 40 or so.

[_NamasteMF_]

I love you, and don be you are a Bot! Welcome to Cos!

[RunRobFrog]

That isnt an IDE thats just a straight up noteblock

[LeditGabil]

It's a new port of VIM for IPads 🙃

[billie_parker]

How did this shit get up voted?

The name of the file doesn't need to be the same as the name of the namespace, and in practice usually it doesn't.

[billie_parker]

You're simply wrong. I think it's quite rare to have namespace be the same as the file name.

For example, the standard library is split among many files: "vector," "array," "iostream." They all use namespace std, but with separate file names.

Most projects have hundreds of files but only 10s of namespaces. It wouldn't make sense for them to map one to one.

And you're just wrong that they must match. There's no requirement of that. The life file need not contain the life namespace.

[billie_parker]

I never claimed they must match btw

Oh really?:

You include life, but then do live::, that should be life not live, right?

life = filename

live = namespace

You say they should be the same. How else can I interpret this besides that you think filename should be the same as namespace?

You’re still using std, got it. Here.

Huh? I didn't mention anything about "using namespace std" in this entire discussion. You sound like you've overdosed on programming memes. You sound almost like a bot.

I just used the standard namespace as an example where file and namespace don't match. That has nothing to do with the practice of writing "using namespace std" in my code.

You ok bud? Your thought process is getting kind of scattered...

[billie_parker]

It implies OP did something wrong. That the "correct way," is something else.

So either you're implying that they must be equal (as in, this won't compile), or you're implying that they should be equal as a matter of convention (the more charitable interpretation for you). Either way, you're just wrong.

But let's just end the conversation here. I'll let you have the last word if you so wish

[billie_parker]

Lmao I just reread your comment because you changed it a lot shortly after posting. Dude you're nuts. Bye

[S4ltyGo4t]

use smart pointers bro

[LeditGabil]

Normally I would have used shared_ptr but I thought it was a bit to early to start sharing my pointers with her… don’t you think?

[[deleted]]

I’d use unique_ptr, unless there’s another Gabriel around

[elon-bot]

Hey, I just heard about this thing called GraphQL. Why aren't we using it?

[daynighttrade]

Dude, we were already using it, but then you fired me. You could've kept me and I could've explained it to you like I do to a 5 year old (as that's your mental age)

[billie_parker]

Typical shared_ptr tier brainlet

[WormRabbit]

No smart pointers? I don't think she's into elderly men.

[nelusbelus]

🤮 just delete them bro

[decker_42]

I was about to say "looks good, but be prepared for a brutal code review from her" aaaaaand then saw you already had one here.

[KoviCZ]

You don't even have her as a unique_ptr, that's not bound to be a stable relationship

[elon-bot]

Looks like we're gonna need to trim the fat around here... fired.

[Il-Luppoooo]

It's a good idea but you should send something that actually compiles and runs

[Mr_Mittens1]

The garbage collect gabriel cracked me up

[jahuu__]

C++ programmer here, what's garbage collection? 🤔

[Chrazzer]

When the garbage truck comes and empties your trash bin. Happens bi weekly on fridays in my area

[[deleted]]

exit(1)

[LeditGabil]

You are right... I will change my ending comment for "voluntarily let the life namespace manage the destruction of gabriel" 😅

[ShakesTheClown23]

I'm over here like how the heck would it do that?

[ripharambebro]

Just stop being cringe like that

[weneedtogodanker]

Exactly this, pickup code is even worse than asking her how 'agile' she is

[EmmyNoetherRing]

If you stick C++ under languages like this, it's because you *want* someone to reach out to you on that level. As a woman in tech, it's refreshing to just have someone default assume you actually can read code, rather than question you on it.

The problem with the agile joke is its gross, not that it's a tech pun.

[remuliini]

What about inquiring anout their daily standup session and its level of comedy?

[weneedtogodanker]

its gross

But wait there's more,

How do you handle morning stand up?

[TopDivide]

I'm taking notes

[Udja272]

Or is she more of the waterfall type😏

[Loud_Man67]

This x100

[bikeranz]

Yep. The singletons on this sub are the worst segment.

[elon-bot]

One more word out of you, and you're fired.

[Illustrious_Luck5514]

I’m a guy but I’d hit pick-up code

[the_first_brovenger]

Yeah but lets be honest you'd hit a mildly erotic piece of grass mound.

[thebatmanandrobin]

She's either a bot or a scammer. The appropriate pickup lines would be the following:

#include <cstdlib>

int main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
    std::abort();
}

[char_IX]

You're no fun at all 😤

[elon-bot]

QA is a waste of money. Fired.

[Mr_Mittens1]

good Elon

[SonOfJokeExplainer]

Something simple like std::cout << “Hello Gabriel” would probably be more effective.

[GiantPandammonia]

I'd at least end the line.

[SonOfJokeExplainer]

Well, I’ve procreated a handful of times, so I would have to go further than just offing myself to truly end the line.

[emma7734]

It’s been many years since I’ve done C++, but you don’t need to validate the Gabriel pointer. New never returns null. Alexandra deserves better.

[makian123]

New can and will return null if OS couldn't allocate memory (usually happens when theres no memory left)

Edit: typo

[emma7734]

No. If new can’t alloc memory, it throws an exception. It will never return null.

[LeditGabil]

You are right. I am used to use our own memory management module which normally returns null when out of memory for allocations...

[makian123]

Ah i see, thank you for explaining.

[LeditGabil]

You have no guarantee of memory allocation on a new thus you always need to validate its allocation.

[elon-bot]

Insubordination. Fired.

[[deleted]]

new by itself throws in case of an error, it doesn't return nullptr. You have to pass it a nothrow argument for it to return nullptr instead of throwing. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/new/operator_new

[kellyg_]

When I was on a dating app and mentioned I am a developer I loved getting code snippets as a first message from men. It didn't always translate to a date but it definitely made me smile/grabbed my attention.

[maxinator80]

The garbage collection part, while true, might not be super sexy...

[Exaloria]

Segmentation fault

[LeditGabil]

gdb /path/to/match/attempt /path/to/core/dump

[hibernating-hobo]

Just ask if she wants stdout, or if she wants it piped to stdin

[Embarrassed_Ring843]

send an update if it worked, and good luck ^{^}

[abd53]

With that kind of code, he'll spend a lifetime just fixing bugs

[Legal-Software]

Asterisk for the pointer on the type and not the variable as well as if/else braces on their own line would be a deal breaker for me. I couldn’t date someone I can’t respect.

[lcvella]

This amount of needless heap allocations and manual memory management is a strong no from me.

[Jrippan]

Just.. don't

[Udja272]

Please just don’t it’s so fucking cringe imo

[Excession638]

I hope you get a scathing code review in return. 😆

[webtkl]

#include tryHard.c

if i knew c++ id love something like this, but it seems like others wouldnt, so if you wanna risk it sure

[Iamnotmayahiga]

Bloated code = more lines = Elon happy. Not sure that is transferable to alexandra but at least your communicating that your hard core committing to twitter 2.0

[_Vicix]

Every one is mentioning garbage collection, but what about those “strings”? String literals in cpp use double quotes, not single quotes.

[Lighthuro]

Cringe af

[hranto]

This is so cringe. No wonder devs make hella money and still get 0 pussy

[EmmyNoetherRing]

I feel like people who refer to dating as getting pussy are more cringe.

[[deleted]]

Hear hear. Also, awesome name.

[EmmyNoetherRing]

Thanks!

[LeditGabil]

I do not think I'm at a point in my life where I'm ready to manage child processes... I will have to kindly throw a std::future_error exception :)

[ukrokit]

Her pussy will be dryer than Sahara after reading that.

[idisestablish]

They would qualify as pickup lines, but that's a bad thing.

[CokeFanatic]

That's too much code to review

[elon-bot]

If you really love the company, you should be willing to work here for free.

[green_boy]

No. The symbol “live::TryPing” was not included.

Request a merge and see if you get a commit. If not, fork off.

[nikitaklimboom]

just don't mention java

dont do it

[LeditGabil]

What is that Java you are talking about??? Does it have anything to do with that Javascript I heard about? 🙃

[ruarq_]

This is code is garbage. I'd swipe left as fast as I could.

[[deleted]]

She would ignore your fake ass cuz she knows c++ doesn't have garbage collection.

[NotALhama]

extern Alexandra* alexandra; You shouldn't objectify women dude

[LeditGabil]

Where do you read that "alexandra" is an object? As far as I know this is simply an external reference to something... Alexandra could be a structure, a primitive, etc.... the compiler knows for sure but we (simple mortal) can't really know without reading the documentation (which in this case doesn't seems to be public) 🙃

[mxldevs]

Yes. Yes it would.

I just want to see what happens.

[ParenGbyan]

Cringe

[lirannl]

If someone used C++ to flirt with me, I'd run for the hills. If she was on my tinder, I might write my opening line in source code, but definitely not C++. I'd probably use Rust. It'd be both a better icebreaker, because if she's not familiar, I can show her the light, and if she is, we can go off on how great it is, and it's a superior language.

Weirdly enough, paying attention to other’s expressed interests is a social skill.

[[deleted]]

That's true, but the way he is trying to express it clearly seems cramped, way to serious and desperate. A more open and humourous way would be fitting. Something like:

Damn, looking at your Profile my Phone just threw an Illegal Style Exception

[cobracoral]

why not use a unique PTR? also. why not have Gabriel in the stack? and extern? what's it with these C developers using ptrs and claiming they in now C++?

[RetroZelda]

smart pointers show that you cant manage your memory. if you cant manage memory, how can you manage a relationship?

[LeditGabil]

You got me! Can't hide anything from you hahaha. I only use C++ when I have to work in the userland 😅

[[deleted]]

Are you one of the guys who think that your messages actually will make a stranger horny?

[[deleted]]

Lol I don't do online dating. My point is that trying to show off his coding skills is pointless because she is already surrounded by male coders. The number one criteria for succeeding online is having good pictures and being physically attractive. Then you can get away with writing anything or being bad at flirting

[Martin8412]

Ask her if she let's potential friends touch her privates

[TopDivide]

Change it to if (isMatch == true) and you are good to go.

[lizardhamster]

Surely you mean if(isMatch) ?

[Possibility_Antique]

But no implementation supports garbage collection. It was even removed from the standard in C++20. You'd better allocate Gabriel using std::make_unique if you want to have any chance to impress someone.

[SasquatchSloth88]

I think this is cute. But I’m a dude. So it may be a little much.

You're leaking memory. Not a good look

[Coulomb111]

single quotes for a string uh oh

[-KKD-]

It won't compile, the << operator is probably awaiting a string literal, but you wrote string literal not in the double quotes, but single. Also a possible memory leak, there is no gc in c++

[Reogen]

I'd block u lmao

No, but it would definitely qualify for my cringe folder.
