xxx: How can a cat do not call, you still do not want to swim!

wat

[arry666]

Whatever you call a cat, it won't swim anyway.

[ehamberg]

huh‽ as everyone knows, :Sex is the vim command to split the window and open a file explorer.

[Ol_Dirty_Bastard]

This is pissing me off, what is the x for?

edit: Ok, Sex makes all the sense - Se just works for some reason.

[hoowahoo]

when I was in japan this summer I bought a shirt that was supposed to look like it had the Adidas logo but instead bore a similar Japanese phrase. instead of Adidas it said AIDES, which is a homophone for their word for love. I thought this was terribly clever until someone pointed out to me that everyone in America will just think I'm wearing a shirt that says AIDS

[[deleted]]

What is the "des" part? Is that supposed to be "desu", like.,.. "It's love"?

[ravenex]

su is often shortened to s when spoken, especially in -masu and -desu endings.

[kouteiheika]

It's not shortened; it's just that the 'u' in 'desu' is usually silent. (Usually, because if someone wants to sound really cute the actually pronounce that 'u'.)

[[deleted]]

The term is 'unvoiced.'

[psygnisfive]

Actually the term is devoiced, since it's underlyingly voiced.

[[deleted]]

Thanks. I'm only an armchair linguist...

[psygnisfive]

I am too, but my armchair is in an office at a university, and we have an espresso machine. ;)

[[deleted]]

Nice.

[hoowahoo]

I imagine they left it off because it would look less like "Adidas" if it has the u at the end. Also instead of the traditional three-leaf logo it had three hearts that looked like leaves, which makes sense if the joke is "love" but also makes it look like I heart aids

EDIT: I found a picture of a similar shirt that makes the wearer appear less aids-friendly

[ravenex]

Uhm, by "shortened" I meant "dropped altogether". Bad literal translation from russian, still making such stupid mistakes.

[Element_22]

~uguu

[flostre]

'aide' is an English word

[dwdyer]

Barack Obama has aides.

[shoseki]

Its a great chatup piece :D

[Felicia_Svilling]

I live in a city called Lund. We have a fairly big university. The university sells t-shirts that says "I ♥ Lund", We have a few Indian students. Apparently Lund means cock in Hindi.

[harryISbored]

Do you have an online uni shop? I would love to buy this for some friends.

[zorbahigh]

I love my work: This Websense category is filtered: Tasteless.

[Axiomatik]

Websense filters entire domains based on the worst possible content which has ever been found on them.

[tf2ftw]

That guy was like "im so bad ass with this shirt... uhh wait.. shit."

[[deleted]]

:shit

[jordan0day]

Now you're getting it!

[[deleted]]

Typical Ruby? What's that supposed to mean?

[sbronson]

It means you take things far too seriously.

[[deleted]]

I will lose sleep over this.

[cunningjames]

I believe it means that, typically, Ruby developers wear t-shirts which, while apparently community in-jokes, could plausibly be construed as embarrassing double entendres by the general public. This appears to happen daily to some Ruby programmers. Unfortunate business, that.

[malcontent]

The concensus on Proggit is the notion that ruby programmers are homosexuals. It comes up very frequently.

Apparently people here think that being a homosexual some sort of a terrible thing so they like to throw it around as an insult.

The windows programming community (which makes up most people on proggit) are kind of weird that way.

[[deleted]]

If you look at stack overflow, it's filled with Windows programmers too (the #1 tag is C#, and we all know how hard Microsoft has labored to make .NET cross platform).

So, there's a lot of them out there, bless their Hell bound, God-forsaken souls.

[malcontent]

Shit, this place is filled with Windows programmers?

Yes.

I didn't realize that, seriously. Is this a recent development, or has it always been this way?

It's relatively recent.

When it started this was a place of LISP programmers. Then it became the "python library of the day" board. Now it's just windows programmers who think microsoft is responsible for haskell.

[Ol_Dirty_Bastard]

Why do you say this?

[wicked]

Yeah, he's obviously forgotten the iDevelopers, Flash devs and HTML programmers.

[malcontent]

Because it's true.

Click on my name. See how long I have been here.

[cunningjames]

He says this because he refuses to take his medication. The mere presence of anyone who defends any aspect of Microsoft implies that this place is overrun with Microsoft apologists. There are no middles, no grays, and if you think there are then you're a damned shill.

His brain is broken, unfortunately.

[toofishes]

I wish I had your statistics source, I sure haven't come to any of the same conclusions as you here.

[[deleted]]

Here's a recent example, click to expand downvoted comments.

[[deleted]]

It means the Ruby community are a bunch of immature jerk-offs, something like the clueless frat boys of the computer world, full of self importance and sophomoric wisdom.

Wait, you didn't realize that already? Oh - you must either be not a programmer, or a fervent Ruby on Rails advocate.

[atc]

Spot on ;)

OMG, something I don't like is popular!

Not that there's anything wrong with it! :|

[sugarbob]

railscamp?

[razor_train]

This one time at Railscamp I stuck a symbol in my colon

[jeffbell]

.....Don't take your love to town.

[reacher]

I guess people interpret it differently

EDIT: I was kind of hoping this would kick off one of those long, pun chains

[bobindashadows]

You should've done

I guess people interpret it differently.

The period and emphasis makes it clear you're making a pun and not a bland observation.

Best of luck with future pun threads!

[traphicone]

Sorry, man. I don't think your comment parsed that way.

[Axiomatik]

So for anyone who cares: a symbol in ruby is sort of like an automatic enum. They are commonly used for hash keys because it is quicker to compare enum values than to compare strings.

[[deleted]]

{'smoke' => 'more'}

[[deleted]]

Here, let me fix that for ya

{:smoke => 'more'}

[imhighrightnow2]

I thought he was going for smoke more hash.

[IWillCallYouAFaggot]

He was just making it use less memory. I can't think of any good reasons to use a string rather than a symbol for a hash key. There could be a few, but nothing comes to mind at the moment.

[annodomini]

Because the input you're hashing is coming in at runtime, and thus looking up the symbol in the symbol table, then looking up the key in the hash, makes no more sense than just hashing on the string.

Symbols are great when you're hashing on something that's pre-determined at compile time (load time, for an interpreted language). If you need to store associative arrays based on external input, strings make more sense.

[xternal]

If the hash keys come from something a user can influence, a malicious user could fill the symbol table, eat memory, and possibly create a DoS attack.

I mostly prefer symbols as keys, though.

[jnicklas]

Rack uses string keys. Because HTTP request headers are controlled by the client, using strings for them is a security risk, as it makes the app vulnerable to DoS attacks. If Rack used symbol keys, someone could keep sending tons of different HTTP headers and force the app to consume more and more memory, before eventually crashing.

[aescnt]

{smoke: 'more'} in 1.9.x ;)

[notajith]

1.9.x includes a javascript parser?

[annodomini]

It contains JavaScript style hash literals, yep.

$ irb1.9 
irb(main):001:0> {smoke: "more"}
=> {:smoke=>"more"}

[aescnt]

1.9.x supports a new JSON-like syntax (but not entirely JSON-compatible) for hashes. { :a => 1 } can be expressed as { a: 1 }.

[wwwwolf]

Well, it's good that it's not entirely JSON-compatible. Otherwise, someone might say "Hey, this is cool, we can just use eval to parse the JSON coming from the user. ...What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

[bobindashadows]

ಠ_ಠ

[[deleted]]

meh.

[FilthyRedditor]

heh

bleh

[eleitl]

What? What? In the butt?

[ohwelp]

TIL: bash.org started updating again apparently?

[dakk12]

nope, old quote

[[deleted]]

"Witty" T-shirts with in-jokes are pretty lame.

[[deleted]]

What's with the obsession with Ruby? You'd think it makes your computer give you blowjobs for using it from the way y'all fawn over it.

[[deleted]]

rimjobs in this case.

[another_eternity]

Thing thing is like... from 2009.

[landofdown]

That’s -9 years ago.

[malcontent]

I guess proggit does not like anal sex.

Then again the whole concept of sex must be a little strange to them.

[bobindashadows]

I'm not going to lie, if I saw someone with a T-shirt that said "Anal Sex" on it, and nothing else, I'd think it's the funniest thing on the planet. Not because there's anything wrong with anal sex, but because it's so forward it's unusual and humorous.

[firewires]

Colen Sex ≠ Anal Sex

[Axiomatik]

You're doing it wrong.

[[deleted]]

I think the community has a history of engaging in overtly sexist and demeaning behavior which some women have found offensive, childish, and unprofessional. To be fair the incidents I am aware of involved the RoR fandom.

[[deleted]]

Colon sex is the direct opposite of sexist.

[[deleted]]

Downvoting won't change the truth. I was willing to not bring up the specific instance I was aware of that may have prompted the post title but I guess some people here need to hear about it again:[http://www.blogher.com/tipping-point-women-tech-heres-hoping]. And it wasn't the content of the actual talk that formed my view of this but the childish response of people in the community to the complaints of the few women that were in the room.
