C programming question


What kind of coffee do C programmers drink, and why?

Me, for breakfast I usually drink green tea, but when programming
in C, I drink extra strong Espresso without milk and sugar, except
when programming in C++, then I make it twice as strong and add 10 cl
of Jim Beam.

How do other C programmers prefer their coffee when programming?

The C standards do not refer to coffee or drinking, so your posting
is not appropriate for this newsgroup. Please refer to a newsgroup
that deals with the operating system for whatever kind of body you
are using.

Somebody picked some red beans from a tree. Then they dried them in the
sun. Then they burned them in a fire. Then they boiled them in some water.
Then they threw away the beans and drank the water. You've got to think
that undefined behavior was involved in there someplace.

I prefer a rich Columbian blend of Arabica coffees served with sugar and
cream. I do admire your choice of Jim Beam, the finest Bourbon made.

Yeah, but why _ruin_ it with coffee?

Coffee tends to cause need to fflush() more often. Usually this
means leaving the keyboard. At this point, you have invoked the
wrath of undefined hehavior.

And what would be the appropiate newsgroup to ask this specific
question that only C programmers could accurately answer? I am
interested about it too.

Something with "java" in the name, obviously.

Try alt.lang.java.cool.folklore. But first read their FAQ.

I generally drink a rich, full-bodied Columbian, freshly ground of
course. Usually filtered, but occasionally percolated for added
strength.

Tea, because no C programmer would touch a cup of Java.

That's an interesting composition I've never heard of before... you are
cooking whole coffee beans? How many beans do you use with how much
water? How does it compare to regular coffee made from ground beans?
(just curious)

ObPreprocessor -- Myself, I like those beans that have been preprocessed
by those Brazillian tree cats -- tastes very exclusive but can be
expensive over time.

Thanks

According to my understanding they are generally roasted that way.

The diffusion rate is a function of temperature, surface area and
time.

I've heard of it, but never tried it. I thought the civit cats were

"Civet cats" can be found around where I live. To be precise, this one:

For the OP pear juice would the most appropriate drink.
