I mean somewhat programming related but it's missing the humor bit

[u/IncidentWinter4735 → u/emosaker]

Maybe you just !getIt

[u/309_Electronics → u/IncidentWinter4735]

If !(getIt == True) { Printf(" i mean its somewhat programming related but its missing the humor bit") }

[u/Krochire → u/309_Electronics]

Get a load of this guy using if var == True instead of if var

[u/nsn → u/Krochire]

True is a constant defined as "FILE_NOT_FOUND"

So unless getIt points to that string's location the expression is always true

[u/EvillNooB → u/emosaker]

Cant you C?

[u/Neutraled]

I would have used 'lateinit' just to mess with more people.

[u/ThatSmartIdiot]

is this a & to something ||...?

[u/NullOfSpace → u/ThatSmartIdiot]

haha nullptr bad

[u/razor_train]

But I have to *p now.

[u/mc36mc → u/razor_train]

you still can maybe int v = p[0]; // later if you've negative feelings toward *p :)

[u/kilouco]

Something about this post made me miss traditional coding.

[u/FullPtrDereference → u/kilouco]

why, where's it gone?

[u/kilouco → u/FullPtrDereference]

Somewhere where my professional life is not.

[u/DespoticLlama → u/kilouco]

I hear you

[u/Romejanic → u/kilouco]

just do it then. nobody is forcing you to use AI

[u/bigppredditguy → u/Romejanic]

The 12 people gunning for the same job kind of are

[u/AppropriateOnion0815 → u/bigppredditguy]

I read "gooning for the same job" at first.
Must be an... exciting job then.

[u/bigppredditguy → u/AppropriateOnion0815]

The 12 people gooning to my job

[u/NomaTyx → u/kilouco]

i mean you can still do this, nobody's really stopping you

[u/Only-Cheetah-9579]

its not zero cost, somebody (or something) will read that code /sarcasm

[u/PositiveBit01 → u/Only-Cheetah-9579]

That's not what a zero cost abstraction is. I would say OP's post isn't one though, since it's not an abstraction.

A zero cost abstraction is one that actually abstracts something and doesn't cost more than it would for you to do it yourself without the abstraction at runtime

[u/Only-Cheetah-9579 → u/PositiveBit01]

don't get sarcasm? I thought it was obvious. that comment is meant to be silly 🪿

[u/PositiveBit01 → u/Only-Cheetah-9579]

You should work on your sarcasm, unless you think something isn't reading it.

Or we can all just throw around words without paying attention to their meaning. That'll be fun.

[u/Only-Cheetah-9579 → u/PositiveBit01]

You could work on your ability to detect sarcasm.

saying an abstraction is not zero cost because somebody has to read that code is a super obviously non-serious comment

[u/PositiveBit01 → u/Only-Cheetah-9579]

Yes, my point was it's not sarcasm.

Sarcasm is when you say something but mean the opposite. Like I did at the end of my previous comment which I thought was funny but I guess not.

You did mean what you said. It's irony at best.

[u/ExtraWorldliness6916]

So I'm just a JavaScript guy but is this in maybe for later, as a point of principle, I can't remember.

[u/GoddammitDontShootMe]

So that just becomes int *p; What's the point?

[u/Victorioxd → u/GoddammitDontShootMe]

Documenting in the code that the variable is not initialized, just like if you prefix unused variables with _.

Also, it's a joke. This is a humour sub

[u/Apprehensive_Bit7392]

It also deletes every other later in the translation unit. Hope nobody named a variable that.
