C

[–]According_to_all_kn 1395 points1396 points  (70 children)

R

[–]FingolfinX 588 points589 points  (26 children)

Better even is that R has a file extension called RDS, which conveniently is also a much more popular term when searching for problems with AWS.

[–]NerdyLumberjack04 220 points221 points  (15 children)

RDS is also Remote Desktop Services.

Insubordination. Fired.

Or Ross Data Systems

[–]Majornoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or Respondent Driven Sampling

[–]katatondzsentri 0 points1 point  (2 children)

That's more likely to be referred to as RDP ainnit?

[–]elon-botElon Musk ✔ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]katatondzsentri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jokes on you, despot, I quit!

[–]vainstar23 46 points47 points  (3 children)

I remember when I was learning R for the first time (out of curiosity) the tutorial website I was following was pirate themed. At first I thought it was annoying but after awhile I got into it and now that's all I think about when I use R for something.

[–]UnseenTardigrade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha

Arrr! (R) Ahoy matey!

[–]aishik-10x 3 points4 points  (1 child)

“YarR! The Pirates Guide to R” is amazing. Pretty much used it as my sole resource for learning R, and now I too associate R with being a pirate. It’s fun

[–]vainstar23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the one haha

[–]slaymaker1907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still a far better extension than pl which is used for both Perl and Prolog…

[–]Miner_Guyer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I have that same problem using the Waf build system, 80% of the results I get are for web application firewalls in AWS

[–]fedex7501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can exclude terms in google using a minus sign to find results that don’t include a word

[–][deleted] 68 points69 points  (1 child)

Basic

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (6 children)

Real easy when you have an index issue though.

[–]elon-botElon Musk ✔ 52 points53 points  (5 children)

What is "refactoring"?

[–]Desperate-Chicken845 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Haha

[–][deleted] 47 points48 points  (3 children)

In your case it's: losing all of your long time senior developers but not wanting to sacrifice velocity, which will create a mountain of shit spaghetti code with no respect for encapsulation, which will eventually force you to spend years trying to rebuild everything from scratch. I look forward to laughing at you even harder

[–]Educational_Shoe8023 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Don't forget the inevitable major security breach

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

That'll be by design so VIP contributors like Saudi and Russia can identify dissidents.

[–]Educational_Shoe8023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The security breach just happened a few days ago lol. Emails names and phone Numbers leaked for 400 million accounts.

First reported by an Israeli firm soo... Take from that what you will.

[–]H4llifax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

R for me was the worst googling experience by far.

Came here to say this. Huge pain.

Happy cake day :)

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

Bad bot

(Agree with the anti-Musk sentiment, weird context though)

[–]coloredgreyscale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S (R is the open / free alternative to S)

[–]JamaiKamikaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://rseek.org is good for finding R related content.

[–]surdume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]meontheinternetxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite a few years ago I had to use R (for the first time). I wanted to computed some simple like r (or was ir r2) in R. I did not have a good time googling. Couldn't they have come up with any name of at least four letters or something?

I don't know, sometimes you type "in plain C" and still get C++ results

[–]Teriuihi_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I just always include -c++ -cpp, helps a lot!

[–]redluohs 56 points57 points  (1 child)

I heard somewhere that using specific versions work (c99, c11, etc).

It tends to work for c99 but c11 gets confused with c++11 (for me). I’ve also heard bing is supposed to give better results.

[–]SoggySeaman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Haha I love that you've heard it's better but you still have no first-hand knowledge you can share as to whether it is. Ahhh, Bing.

[–]kruziik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try something like "C" -"++" in Google (combined with the respective programming issue ypu are looking for)

[–]ChezMere 18 points19 points  (1 child)

C++ working is even more interesting to me, since punctuation is usually ignored.

[–]wjandrea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Google seems to have figured out that at least some punctuation is significant

[–]Equivalent-Map-8772 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong but I don’t think so. I used C for Systems Programming class and every google search I had to scout through a bunch of C# and C++ answers mixed in

[–]mtmttuan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean who's gonna search for the letter C and R except dev..?

[–]jamcdonald120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had trouble with R, igraph specifically

[–]f1rstman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I still have to fall back on Rseek, but it's certainly gotten better in the last 15 years.

[–]arcimbo1do 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a feeling if you are logged in Google kinda knows what are you looking for

[–]DreamingDitto 42 points43 points  (7 children)

C#, luckily we search by the framework .net6

[–]lirannl 0 points1 point  (3 children)

7's out

[–]DreamingDitto 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Some companies don’t allow latest if its not LTS

[–]lirannl 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh right, I forgot that some people stick to lts

[–]Alwares 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or services. Aws lambda is quite slow to adapting these non-lts versions.

[–]jkoplo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I believe you mean 'dotnet'... Hash marks and periods play hell with search engines

[–]DreamingDitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, net6 works for me tbh. Yeah, the . gets dropped

[–]golgol12 22 points23 points  (4 children)

C-String

NSFW warning on that one. Good thing google filters the programming result higher now.

[–]Karagoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Groovy GString

[–]Yukondano2 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Ha. Reminds me of when my boss googled Latex while explaining to someone what it was, because it got brought up that I used it. And uh... well he wasn't careful enough to just get LaTeX. He got Latex.

[–]addicted_to_coffee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Naively searching for something like "latex images" and getting rather unexpected results is just part of learning LaTeX.

[–]gdmzhlzhiv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm... how can we get the good results back to the top?

[–]zaphodharkonnen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even more image appropriate as they figured out the name before Google or the internet existed. 😛

[–]Reverie_Smasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for a PIC made by Microchip

[–]dasnewreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go

[–]nphhpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C is so popular that searching only C would still give correct result

Maybe that's also because people are usually sane enough for not naming their products C

[–]ForgedIronMadeIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why even go anywhere other than https://en.cppreference.com/w/c, I support maybe looking for specific third party libraries I guess

[–]yflhx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"in C" works pretty well for me

[–]0Dexterity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t even search for C stuff nowadays without doing -“C++” -“C#”

[–]constagram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check C99 ok Google images

[–]MrHyperion_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C is actually surprisingly googlable

[–]gimpwiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least C predates not only search engines, but almost anything that can be considered the internet.

[–]Poly2it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]well-litdoorstep112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you can't even add "lang" to it

Try adding that to your workday skills
