(Also are Programming socks memes welcome here?)
I personally prefer programming barefoot, but then I also use GNOME.
Wheres the introduction to Rust, choker, skirt, Blahaj, and Thinkpad X220?
I ought to make my own programming starter pack meme with all those things.
this comment genuinely reminded me that i need to both find my choker and finish installing linux on my x230t
Very good Thinkpad, especially with the classic keyboard mod and libreboot :3
You jest but I unironically want one of the Thinkpads with a Snapdragon X (|Plus|Elite) to compile my Rust on.
Woah, I said an older Thinkpad. We dont talk about what Lenovo has done to the modern Thinkpad image (theyve dragged it through the mud). Eveyone knows the last good Thinkpad was the T480.
Their Thinkpad T’s and X’s still seem honestly good, it’s just that there’s many Thinkpad lines that are shit as well.
The problem is that even the T and X model Thinkpads have been chasing thin and light above build quality. They no longer have protective metal cages, the keyboard isn’t as good, and its bends/flexes (which makes sense considering its thin). I get thats the “modern” laptop design but I wish they went back to making massive laptops.
Ah, I thought those lines didn’t make those 'compromises". I’ll look into it, thanks!
Nearly every laptop OEM has been making comprimises, if you want a true classic Thinkpad style laptop (thats thick and has good build quality) the MNT Reform is the only option. Its massive, thick, has a mechanical keyboard, has an option for a trackball, and isnt particularly powerful (the Raspberry Pi CM5 is realistically the most powerful thing you can put in it).
They can come with an RK3588, which is more powerful than the Raspberry Pi 5.
Although it loses by a large margin in performance from even my old Dell XPS’s Intel i5-7300HQ, the performance isn’t great.
That said, that is right in between a ThinkPad T440’s 4th gen i5 or i7, so maybe that’s not all bad.

Eh, who is still using paper books to learn programming languages? Every popular language has a website with online manuals.
Well, except C, because it’s crammed together with C++ on https://cplusplus.com/ and https://cppreference.com/
And socks just grow organically after 3 years of coding.
The book is to get your monitor to an ergonomic height!
I thought the books were for your shelf tbh. You put one for each language you claim proficiency in.
It’s cool to have niche older books though. My friend has a programming manual in Estonian from either the very late soviet era or very early 90s that has both some dialect of BASIC and some niche dialect of Pascal that I hadn’t even heard of.
I used to own one less-feminine one, for the winters, but they became obsolete thanks to global warming.
I need to buy new once. But am boycotting USA so its hard finding some
Maybe good against programmers venous thrombosis. Should be acknowledged as a work related illness.
I never knew about this until my non-programming partner asked what I thought about them.
How are you supposed to program without programming socks?
You’re not, it’s possible but you’ll have a really bad time.
Only Winsocks.
Underrated joke.
I pulled on a str and unraveled my C socks!
Did socks replace rubber ducks?
If you have the socks you don’t need the ducks
Brainrot
Wait, you think that wearing thigh high socks for fun is brainrot?
I don’t. Only black & white nail polish and light make up so far.
What is “brainrot” about this image?
Programming socks memes are always welcome here.
Memes?

PowerfulTurtle and (Not) BurningTurtle meetup
Turtles are great computer science animals. They do graphics, and have shell access.
Meanwhile I’ll stick with my tree, it has root access.
Until BurningTurtle comes to the meetup.
All 3 of the Turtles are together it seems.
Well 2 of me, but still.
Accurate
Are three lettuce heads enough for you?
I know that the company Functional Software brought out some Functional Sockware, I wore them for years.
