   Ahh, I remem­ber days like this with my first computer…for the record, it was a black and white Mac­in­tosh and it was bought in 1990 (I didn’t get to play with it until 1992).

   Her binary code is giving me flash­backs of trans­lat­ing assem­bly code to hex for the 8051 micro­con­troller. No. No, I don’t want to deal with dat­a­point­ers every other line. Johnny, don’t push that byte onto the stack. Johnny? Johnny! JOHNNNYYYYYYY!!

   Absolutely accu­rate – there’s always some bozo look­ing over you shoul­der and asking “will it be ready to ship tomorrow”? Is it done yet? How about now? Now?

    Dis­re­gard­ing the absence of pro­fan­ity, this is pre­cisely how I speak to inan­i­mate objects.

    Error, error. Com­puter face! LOL, nice comic.

    @Eugene – the sleeve could have simply been rolled up, as it is the colour of the under­gar­ment.

    A deref­er­enced pointer would cast a warn­ing, not error; no bug, move on.
    “Since when is a warn­ing a bug? It com­piles, ship it!!”

    ah… “core dump” is fol­lowed by a memory flush and discharge…

    @eric
    I don’t know what lan­guage you code in, but in c++, deref­er­enc­ing a null pointer is nei­ther a com­piler warn­ing or error, it is a run-​time error result­ing in a crash.

    About the sleeve in the 2nd frame being different… she was cold in that frame. those rooms are cold. I get cold in those rooms. She must have been cold… in THAT frame.

    That’s not really funny/a comic because that’s just show­ing exactly what hap­pens and what people do in a shitty sit­u­a­tion.

    If you don’t think shitty sit­u­a­tions are humor­ous in ret­ro­spect, you’re out of touch with real­ity.
