As a c++ professor, I would never lie to my students like this.
Never c++
I am trans
Do i need to learn rust?
I’m a rust developer, do I need to transition?
To both of you a clear yes!
I am a C++ developer, learning Rust.
Do I eventually get all of them?Learn assembly and you can DIY your gender.

Good read, thanks
But I believe in generics, just write your functions so that it can work with all the types ;)
translation: Just get rid of what is a boy or a girl thing. Just let people do what they like.
The idea of abolishing all gendering of things is a curiously contested one within LGBT+ spaces, as far as I can see.
I can understand how people wishing to be identified a certain way have a vested interest in the existence of markers for that identity.
On the other hand, I wish painting my nails wasn’t fem-coded on some level. Of course guys can do so too, but the only “guy” I knew who did so regularly eventually turned out not to be a guy, which doesn’t exactly help me ignore that connotation.
I can understand people wanting markers. But maybe we have like 10-20 markers and someone having 5-6 from the other side is not weird. Like if someone is presenting as a girl completely and is not, they could just reply with “oh, I’m a guy, I just dressed as a girl today” and people would be like “that’s fun” instead of being weirded out.
Like long hair/short hair for example. Or how girls wearing pants is normal now.
In my case, my culture does have people cross dressing during certain events so it’s not as ostracized. But that could also be because people didn’t actually think about wanting to be the other gender but just dressing up for one occasion.
Few fun things:
- My parents wanted a daughter but had me,
- my nickname at home was a girl’s name version of my name,
- only children close to my age and vicinity growing up were girls so I grew up playing “girl” games,
- my mom didn’t stop me from painting my nails, or putting makeup or anything as a child. (I still paint my nails black sometimes),
- In highschool I was the only guy among the group of students with nails too long on a biology lab,
- a guy friend once told me I walk gay (I didn’t even know that was a thing?)
- I don’t watch sports, so I don’t have many common things to talk to guys as much,
- Good friends I had (guys) were based on either common interests (programming, philosophy, etc) or other nerds. And when I don’t have those and only friends are based on proximity then I don’t have as many things in common.
All those considered I’m still a guy, I just don’t care about being “manly”, and just do things that interests me. Plus lots of the things people do to be manly seems to just make them spend even more time with other guys lol. And although I don’t want to do a lot of things that are for each genders, I just wish everyone was chill about doing whatever someone likes. Or for someone to just try it out to see if they like it not, instead of thinking “that’s what X do, I won’t do it”.
C++ lets you assign variables with <%%> in case your parents were killed by an equals sign.

What is happening there?
Is it about templates? I can’t find any reference for that syntax.
I mixed digraphs and initilization together.
Oh, I didn’t know about digraphs at all. C++ is a really big language.
And wow, that’s a well hidden footgun.
Feels like this thing should require an extra flag in case of
gccin this day and age, or a separate compile-time defined variable, specifically for cases where you don’t want to require the flag.To be fair, the biggest footguns are the trigraphs, and now that I tested those do require a flag in gcc.
The digraphs are just hard to search, never used operator symbols.
#include <delusion>error: expected primary-expression before '=' token 1 | #define GIRLFRIEND = NULL | ^
delusion was added in C++24 and we are stuck in C++03 😭
Programming in C++ is downright horrifying to me after trying other languages. The way it does generics is fucked up on so many levels…
C++ is a great language it you refrain from using 70% of its features.
I hate C++ so much
RStudio and SQL are the only ones of those things I’m aware of having experience with (no idea what language rimworld is coded in, but I’ve also only read that, not tried to modify it).
But if some dude wanted to spend a bunch of time and energy to teach me all about their burning passion language or whatever, that’d be pretty hot. Maybe not JavaScript… ;)
Not in a “dick me down immediately” sort of way, ofc, but in a “mmmm sexy brain and sexy willingness to teach complicated stuff” sort of way. And really to me that’s a solid spring-board to “dick me down immediately” territory.
I second this. This is how I got my wife to like me.
Be careful not to go overboard though, my wife, during the first few weeks, thought I might be hacking into her phone because I was tech savvy and we had too many weird things in common.
If you are comfortable, can you share what are some examples of “too many weird things in common”?
Sorry I forgot to respond.
The thing that triggered it was when I shared an xkcd link. I have seen it a lot here but I guess it’s niche. And knowing about tardigrades, and many weird biology knowledge about bugs, bacteria, and such. We’re both super nerdy about science, but at the same time we hadn’t met anyone else be this nerdy about science in real life.
Thanks.
What do I get as PHP Developer?
A beating on a good day.
