Yeah why is the one that looks like a bug got squished the sharp and the pointy b thing is flat? It should be the other way around
Because musicians way back for some reason used differently written "b" for both sharp and flat and over time one of them developed into a cross shape.
Don't ask me why they did that.
edit:
stuff like that is also the reason that in German notation the note b is an h, but a b-flat is a b. So dumb.

I thought it was meant to represent the the forum's sole function as a perpetual increase of Social Entropy. Because ++ is an operator that increases the value of the preceding variable by 1.
Unless I am crazy, we used to use it colloquially like adding
postcount++
To a post that served little other purpose than increasing your once-prized post count.
I thought it clever, so I reject this pun interpretation. Frown.
also, i have been wearing the hell out of my Deus Ex leggings.
but i usually wore loose cotton drawstring pants to yoga 'cause i want to look like i am about to do tai chi at any moment, i guess
...i need to start doing yoga again -- i do love it.
but i have found it difficult to find a studio near me that's not full-on yogi, i am now your spiritual guide, listen to my mixtape or the other extreme of gym-rat look at my ass pragmatism. and for now, i need the motivation of a class to get me to practice. i'll get there.
I am like...the opposite of this but I get the feeling
Punches bring me peace, but I haven't been able to find a walking-distance Muay Thai place since I moved, and it has been about a year since I was able to practice in an actual school
I have spent a lot of time trying to maintain my training on my own but it isn't the same as a real legitimate school with a grizzled old fighter who tells you his punch secrets only after you have proved you are ready
But it's just such a good way to clear my mind and shoot me full of adrenaline and geez
I'll be able to fill that gap with ball hockey very soon at least, and I always have a good time with that, especially since I guess I prove the stereotypes to be true and am a whole lot better than most of the defencemen on my American team

when I was a kid I made up a superhero alter ego for myself called "Cracko"
his whole thing was basically being incredibly fast, which I assumed would take an immense amount of strength, and allow you to do really weird things to the atmosphere by moving through it quickly
I imagined him squaring off against a storm and just punching it so fast that it disrupted the weather system
hence the tagline I came up with for my Heroic Dr. Jekyll:
"Cracko is so strong he can break wind"
I was twenty four when I figured out what was so funny
I do.
I am also young and cool not old and crusty like you might expect given my answer.
Hey now, C++ ain't that old. If you said you spent all day elbow-deep in FORTRAN I might suspect you were a greybeard, but that's so rare these days...
I'm not a 'hip new editions of C++' guy.
Template meta programming? Fucking banned.
Jokes aside, C++ isn't really taught that much anymore in Australia. It is difficult to find good C++ developers.
People should just learn on the job though, a language is a language is language and shouldn't matter that much if you have to spend some time picking it up that's fine.

When I was growing up, the TV channel we got all our news and weather from was KVII Channel 7 out of Amarillo. Last summer, I looked up their website to see if my parents had gotten any hail from a band of storms.
And that's the first time I spotted the glaring Roman numeral pun in the call sign.
programming language jokes are the lowest form of humor
My grandmother used to say it was sarcasm.
I'll never know if she was hilarious or grumpy.
'sarcasm is the weapon of the weak' was a saying of my great grandmother's
and my mom always told me she thought her grandma meant 'the weapon of the week' and it never had any impact on her
I would like to know more about your great grandma if she was the kind of lady who could imply she needed a new weapon every week and your mom would just think "Yeah, that makes sense."

It's numberpipe, you dork
It's octothorpepipe, you dolts.
I'm not even a programmer - is it that obscure?
It's actually pronounced "Octothorpe Pipe".
You are so late on that.
It's entirely possible the "S" stands for "Slow".
I'm unable to confirm or deny at this point though.
