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
Alright. I don't get it
Programming socks provide a +2 programming skill buff. Their tight fit around the legs provides better blood flow through the legs which also means a better blood flow through the brain.
They also make you more cute :3

You can never have enough socks. Many a christmas goes by where again nobody gifts me a nice pair of socks. People always seem to think I am in need of more books to read!

I just wish they would just admit it already and good programmers wear compression socks. Helps with blood flow and reduces issues with sitting. It you want a nice pattern to each their own.
Do you not?
I do almost all the time. I think I wear programming socks more than I wear regular socks.
Socks? Check. Skirt? Check. Vape pen? Check.
It's study time.
If you need to learn C, at least use the first edition of the book - the one without the ANSI additions is much smaller.
I''ve actually never read the second/and edition so I can't say if it is good or not. I can tell you that the first edition still has a proud space on my bookshielf though the acid paper is starting to take a toll and I suspect it won't be long and I'll be needing a reprint.
It’s also a very good introduction to programming, and just a good read. Probably the best book about programming I’ve ever read.
Doesn't the first edition use K&R style parameter lists and other no-longer-correct syntax?

I haven't read either, honestly Rust is so much better than C or C++ and if I were going to learn a low level language I'd probably go with that instead. Currently I only do Python and a tiny bit of Javascript.

Some socks have horrible return times
Quite frankly I wouldn't recommend learning C these days except for maintaining, there are better languages e.g Rust, Go, Zig, Swift. And the Eu and US are cracking down on unsafe Code including open source.
Agreed, I only found one of these with the C book in it. I think it would make much more sense with the Rust book.

I know that the company Functional Software brought out some Functional Sockware, I wore them for years.
Programming socks memes are always welcome here.
PowerfulTurtle and (Not) BurningTurtle meetup
Turtles are great computer science animals. They do graphics, and have shell access.
