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?
@foone sorry, that was me. I meant to type "derpserialize"
@foone perhaps it's not a typo and they're actually serializing to ASN.1 DER? :P
maybe it's like derconstructors
and deconstructors vs destructors
@foone Maybe it’s actually a serializer, but it’s German. Der Serializer.
@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
DER also stands for Designated Engineering Representative - the person sent by the FAA to look at your aircraft modification to sign off on the airworthiness certification. I've never seen them send multiple people, but if you have a reputation for creative modifications they could conceivably send a bunch who'd might want to look at your plane one after the other. DERserialization. 🤷
