Nobody want to be seen talking to a guy wearing socks with sandals.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The haters will hate until they try it themselves and learn thats its peak foot comfort.

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Barefoot gang would like a word.

When its warm enough i agree

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 9 months ago

I’d wear socks and sandals before starting an index at 1

You have obviously never been to the Czech Republic

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Or the Midwest United States during pumpkin spice season

Or to any woung people from 2000 onwards. To them, specifically white socks with slip-in sandals is a perfectly good choice of footwear!

Just to be clear, the problem is actually not that the guy was being boring but that he was a monster.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

I think actually it's because he's not himself.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

Like Matlab would give a fuck about anyone’s feelings

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

It was the footwear that was the issue.

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 16 points 9 months ago

This is the first time that I see this meme and I'm on the friend group B side, now I know how it feels.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 14 points 9 months ago

Need more fRiends

[–] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

If they're using MATLAB, wouldn't the index start at 1?

[–] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

Group A starts indexing at 1. Group B at 0.

To me, the second layer of the joke is that the choice of starting number is significant enough that the author considers it to be two distinct personalities!

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Mathematicians and computer scientists are natural enemies.

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Like mathematicians and physicists.

[–] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah this joke goes much deeper than I thought when I first commented.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 7 points 9 months ago

Arrays start at zero, just like floors on a building

[–] FourThirteen@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hi, what is this meme format called?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I can barely maintain one personality ... Maybe that's why I don't get invited to any parties.

[–] PixelProf@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I love that friend group A is a gradient.

[–] i_love_FFT@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

It's the logo of the Matlab software.

[–] azi@mander.xyz 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I'm with that guy. C was a mistake

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago
[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hate to break it to you, but almost every language uses 0-based indexing.

[–] azi@mander.xyz 4 points 9 months ago

Yes, popularized by C
