Love how all of the ones labeled as "tie" have a bowtie, yet the only one with an "actual" tie is not a "tie" one

a model wearing Svaha's JavaScript dress from several years ago

Does Svaha's old JavaScript dress fare better? I wish I could find a better source.

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago

For a better source maybe try Rust?

Where does wearing an 80 year old Swedish tanker long coat with cargo pants fall on this spectrum. Ya know outside of the autism spectrum.

The existence of business casual implies the existence of business competitive

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 6 points 13 hours ago

The same with casual sex...

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 91 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

excuse me, but my variable declarations are up here

[–] snap@feddit.org 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I spilled my drink laughing at your comment. Thanks

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Oh no, did I forget the // at the start of the line?

comments are supposed to be ignored

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Clothes like these are great if one is a creepy nerd. One has an excuse good to go if caught.

Here are some of the missing pixels:

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Oof, this would genuinely make me like someone less. Like, it's great that you like nerd stuff but that's just bullshit...

[–] Jayjader@jlai.lu 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, go big or go home with this kind of stuff. Give me some Linux kernel source code, maybe even some well-known RFC!

[–] Speiser0@feddit.org 17 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Typical boring useless shit code. Using bad variable names, and in the end you just say "look, I can count to 10".

Before sorting: 8 6 1 10 5 9 3 2 4 7 Does it have a meaning? I don't think so.

#define unlocked endl

Yeah, nobody writes that except to make a single joke

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

int personality = sizeof(goals);

Feels a bit simplified to me.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

You are correct, that is simplified. The whole line is

int personality = sizeof(goals) / sizeof(goals[0]);

To get the length of an array in C, it's necessary to divide its memory footprint by the size of a single element!

BTW you can see what appears to be ASCII in the background of that image. You can decode it if you're bored.

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 1 points 16 hours ago

You've found them.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 15 points 16 hours ago

TIL my idea of casual is actually ultra casual. That is pretty much what I wear at work in summer. In winter I would switch to trousers and add a jumper.

[–] chirospasm@lemmy.ml 19 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Something something I see sharp dress

C# dress something something

'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a C#-dressed man

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

What, "ultra /casual". That's just summer atire.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 8 hours ago

Ultra casual is going around the house in just your trolleys.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 14 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

I always thought my casual was actually business because of the collared work shirt. Are you telling me I need a jacket or some sort of overcoat for it to actually be business?

[–] homoludens@feddit.org 8 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

The "jeans and (white) shirt" tier seems to be missing.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

That's farm casual. Farm business is full overalls and a straw hat.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Business casual is a dress shirt and chinos/dress pants, loafers and sometimes a blazer/sports coat. Basically the omission of the tie and the fancy dress shoes makes it business casual. A polo and chinos is only business casual in a big box store or the tech industry. Anywhere else it’s just casual.

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Polo shirts aren't smart. Folk play tennis in them and the collar is floppy AF. They look scruffier than plain round neck T-shirt.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Is the business a tech company or a bank?

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, if it's a bank, they've probably got some BS dress policy and it's chinos, shirt, shoes.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 4 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

And on most tech companies, "clothed" counts as business casual. Chinos with sneakers and a t-shirt is a way of saying you are looking to be promoted to a management role.

[–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Almost every tech company I’ve worked at has had a “Investors are coming, dress up” day. And when asked what “dress up” meant they said, “wear one of the more recent company branded t-shirt/hoodies we gave out”.

[–] sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

That sounds like a reasonable dress code!

[–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

What about Hyper Casual and Legendarily Casual?

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 2 points 11 hours ago

Is that Jen? It looks a lot like her but I suck at facial recognition

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 4 points 14 hours ago

I'm so confused. Business casual has always meant nice pants, button down shirt, but no tie or overcoat where I've been. I've also never seen the distinction between ultra casual and casual... maybe 'work casual' compared to 'casual.'

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 3 points 14 hours ago

A code dress with dress code.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

Sorry but I refuse to wear coats indoors ever. I can't even stand long sleeves.

[–] luciole@beehaw.org 6 points 17 hours ago

something something programming socks

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Shit man, I consider any collared shirt semi-formal

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I own a kilt and have the little bag that goes around my waist. When I wear that shit (usually at the RenFest) with no underwear, I totally get dresses. Airy, freeing, so easy to lift it and just piss. It needs to be societally acceptable.
