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?

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 83 points 3 months ago (4 children)

between E and x

[–] pipe01@programming.dev 59 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What does it mean? I would guess count of assorted flavours, but I am no expert in numerology

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

ARCHETYPE NAME:
The Misunderstood Genius
The digits in the number 31 have the digit sum 4 which resonates with the planet Uranus. 31 is often written as 31/4 where the digit sum is placed after the slash. To understand 31 more in depth we recommend you also read more about the digit sum 4 here.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

What a fitting planet, though

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah they have 31 flavors or something like that

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

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I got mine 13 months ago, still going strong. I can check how much time is left on my phone anyway.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I guess that will be a useful feature when the built in display goes out.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that's quite a stretch from the looks of it

[–] Gandarf@startrek.website 6 points 3 months ago

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 18 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 5 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.

[–] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Took me like a minute to find it

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] iLove@programming.dev 5 points 3 months ago

Holy shit that's crazy

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

To symbolise the ex was fed 🌚

[–] chevy9294@monero.town 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Thats exactly what I wanted someone to do - post a picture because I was too lazy to google it myself! Thank you :)

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

o shit

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 20 points 3 months ago

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++ :)
