0 is the loneliest number :(

Look at Mr.Bigshot over here with a defined value and data type.

Because programmers start counting at 0! 😆

Ok, that was funnier in my head...

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

I don't like to be that guy, but 0! equals to 1

[–] andioop@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'll be the idiot who doesn't get the joke.

I recognize that programmers often start counting at 0.

I'm not sure how this connects to 0 being lonely, since that means it's getting used. Even if the programmers are lonely, I still do not get it. Can someone explain?

There's an old saying that goes, "One is the loneliest number." Non-programmers usually start counting at one, making it the first number in the count.

Programmers generally have to start counting at 0. So to them, the first number is 0. So the joke is that a non-programmer would say "one is the loneliest number" a programmer would say "zero is the loneliest number" because the numbers they start with when counting are different.

"1 is the loneliest number" was a line from an old song, I think.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It was sang by ~~The Beatles~~ Three Dog Night.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You sure? I searched just to check and Three Dog Night came up.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

You're correct, Google just returns results for The Beatles because enough people search for that rather than Three Dog night, and I wasn't paying attention

She's a Qt but she's only a 6.8

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Qt 3.14 came out a long time ago.

She's gay.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

Good for her, good for her

"You're a Queue of T"? I don't get it

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Queue T, pronounced like "cutie"

[–] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

I know, I was making a joke

Because Queue<T> is typically read "queue of T"
