I've been a professional programmer for nearly a decade and I just realized that C# is C++++ with the pluses stacked

I know right‽ feels like when I learnt about the FedEx arrow for the first time

[–] chevy9294@monero.town 39 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What FedEx arrow?

Holy shit that's crazy

There's a lot of logos with hidden stuff like that.

Amazon's logo has an arrow going from A to Z, implying they sell everything "from A to Z"

The Tostitos logo has two people holding chips (the Ts) and a bowl of salsa (the dot on the I):

Toyota's logo has every letter of the company name in it:

The LG logo has the letters L and G in it:

I hate it so much, but the Baskin Robbins BR has the number 31 in it

Now if only LG could make a microwave where the LED display didn’t go out after a year.

It's interesting to me that they used the English alphabet for the Toyota symbol instead of Japanese. Or is that symbol localised?

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’d guess the Toyota one is just coincidental.

The US is probably a much bigger market. I imagine it's the same reason LG is English alphabet and not Hangul. Same with Kia, Hyundai, Samsung, etc.

But this is mere speculation. I could be 100% wrong, happens daily!

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It always pissed me off that they use this as an example of white space use. No one sees it.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Logo designers do.

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

Because a prof showed them on the first class. But in any case, if logo designers are the only ones to notice, the logo fails its purpose.

There's also a spoon to symbolise that the couriers were fed soup.

I'm glad I wasn't the only uncultured swine unaware of the ++++ = #

[–] fermuch@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 months ago

Yes, and that is on purpose! It was always meant to be a joke on C++ :)

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

TIL.

Change is hard.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Issue is, Rust is not a drop-in replacement for C. The memory safety features are just one part, and since Rust is also a "weakly" functional language, thus its prefered to write such code with it.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 7 points 3 months ago (7 children)

Anything that is drop-in replacement for C (or C++ for that matter) is going to be awful because of the same compatibility burden, imo

I once saw an issue someone made for some database and said that they were learning Rust and if the database was rewritten in Rust then they could help contribute!

C Tesseract has this interstellar vibe and brings quotes like the following, but with a totally different meaning:

"Years of [compilation error] messages"
"People disn't build this Tesseract"; "Not yet... But one day. Not you and me but people, people who've evolved beyond the four dimensions we know"
"You've got to leave something behind"

There's also D. You could just upgrade to D.

It’s so good it got not only one, but two standard libraries.

This isn't the evolution of C at all. It's all just one language and you're simply stuck in a lower dimension with a dimensionally compatible cross-section.

I'm not ready for 4D, just let me try out C Lattice on a few smaller projects first.

"Just a heads up that we'll be shipping your machine to the client, since it's the only machine on Earth known to support the software. You're getting the spare machine out of the basement. Super fast Cyrix processor. Looks like it boots to Windows 11 release 3, but they've written it 3.11 for some reason."

[–] mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Lol I had windows 11 before it was cool

I really like the theory that the Carbon language is that 3-dimension one—a carbon lattice
