the fun thing about being a programmer with dyslexia is discovering code by people who have even worse spelling than you
I'm editing some code that uses the word "derserialize". Where did that "R" come from?" You can serialize things, but then you derserialize them?
maybe it's like derconstructors
and deconstructors vs destructors
@foone@digipres.club i keep spelling it plateform. I'll never stop spelling plateform.
@pinkberet I had a similar misspelling when I was a little kid, because I misheard "platform" as "flatform", in the context of lego base plates. and I was like "they are flat, it makes sense, they are flatforms.
If 'under' means 'below', then 'der' must mean 'above'. So you're serializing things while in a plane.
@foone It's the opposite of r-serialization.
@foone maybe they meant derpserialize? I derpserialize things all the time.
@foone That sounded like some ASN.1 DER thing...
@foone i have derpserialized plenty of things in my career
@foone derserialize, dieserialize, dasserialize
@foone perhaps it's not a typo and they're actually serializing to ASN.1 DER? :P
