I forked an opensource project to add a couple features for my wife. 😊

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And? Did she accept your, err, pull request? 😏

Remember kids, always use protected branches.

and remember, no means no. if git doesnt want you to merge, dont --force it

Pushing directly to main just feels better.

I prefer "master"

For being a sick burn, that was ice cold. I love it.

"Girl, I named no variables after you, because you're my only Constant"

You’ll need an exception handler for all those dropping panties.

"Girl, you are my Two's Complement, you're always my plus one on any occaision"

Cuz if you invert the bits of of a binary number and add one you get its negative number, so your girlfried is an equal part of you

Once when I was still a kid, I told a woman I loved her so much that I could only love her more if she was a robot.

She did not think that was romantic.

[–] Jtskywalker@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I made a website for my wife with a list of a ton of reasons why I love her and each time she taps the screen it shows a new one.

So... that is a thing you can do for the cost of a domain name and some cheap hosting.

The creator of MySQL, MaxDB and MariaDB named them after his children My, Max and Maria, so why not

[–] dan@upvote.au 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

after his children My

I thought you were kidding, but his daughter is actually named "My".

The GNU kernel was not originally supposed to be called the Hurd. Its original name was Alixβ€”named after the woman who was my sweetheart at the time. She, a Unix system administrator, had pointed out how her name would fit a common naming pattern for Unix system versions; as a joke, she told her friends, β€œSomeone should name a kernel after me.” I said nothing, but decided to surprise her with a kernel named Alix.

β€œThe two hardest problems in programming are cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.”

You can also combine your names into a Linux distribution.

Deb + Ian = Debian.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I bet they've broken up since

[–] MrothersInArms@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The word "Debian" was formed as a portmanteau of the first name of his then-girlfriend (later ex-wife) Debra Lynn and his own first name

Wiki

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

"Later ex-wife" is like three tenses of information at once.

Name a linux distro after her and yourself. Always works.

When I was learning programming I wrote a small program that I called for_you.exe. It printed an animated ASCII penis ejaculating on some boobs. I emailed it to my girlfriend and thankfully she thought it was hilarious. We're still together.

[–] bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can tell your age by the fact that you were emailing an exe file.

[–] sim642@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

And she was just running random exe files from emails.

MySQL, MariaDB, and MaxScale are all named after Ulf "Monty" Widenius' kids

I use friends and family as sample data for unit/integration tests.

At a previous job, I tested an automated email system by scheduling fake events for various US presidents. I've long left that position, but I never cleaned up the test data. Every month I still get a reminder for Nixon's upcoming reservation at the Watergate Hotel.

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I was thinking about you when I cleaned up this codebase and removed a lot of redundant functions.

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Unit test dummy data is full of it. Need an arbitrary date? Pick a special birthday. Location? Wherever you first met.

Not the most public dedication, but perhaps more impactful than yet another song about the one that got away.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I’d feel very wooed if my wife named a Linux distro or some open source project of hers after me

[–] crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Well, I made my girlfriend a GUI app that converts subtitles from Windows-1251 to utf-8 encoding so that she doesn't have to remember how to do it. And I didn't even name it after her...

[–] ABotelho@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A lot of projects are named after spouses and family lol

[–] tofuwabohu@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

Only thing that comes to my mind is MariaDB and "siblings", didn't know it's that common.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I once made a little animation apology thingy with libGDX for a friend
