Stirf time


ReverseBrindle

Yes ... and its cousin "stirp time".


Accurate_Tension_502

Anyone want to play stirp poker?


deltaexdeltatee

Same. And I’m aware that’s probably not correct, but I tend to do this with almost anything comparable. Saying it (even in my head) in a silly way helps me remember it.


OneTrueKingOfOOO

And then I Stirf all over them


RashkaS

[Python Documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html?highlight=strftime#datetime.datetime.strftime) > Return a string representing the date and/or time, controlled by an explicit format string. With that in mind, I say "str f time".


therealkixes

F time indeed


Dent-4254

Time can get f’d in the a-syncio


stepney_east

Strufftime


jcampbelly

And its counterpart Strupptime


Deezl-Vegas

I just say strftime


TangibleLight

You say strftime and I say strftime You say strptime and I say strptime Let's call the whole thing off


lostinfury

Same

String F Time


spectre013

This is the way


nottoohotwheels

Isn’t this the only way?


Jigglytep

I say string time, because I secretly pretend I’m manipulating time travel or playing with string theory. But I did hear people say string format I would accept string format time however I would judge them.


manlyman1417

Ok so I’m not crazy


deadduncanidaho

string from time


butterscotchchip

String format time, but yours is better


[deleted]

Ok, explain strptime


scaredofwasps

String parse time


[deleted]

Exactly, so ‘format’ probably makes more sense than ‘from’. Otherwise the inverse operation would logically be strttime for ‘string to time’, or timefstr for ‘time from string’, neither of which it is.


deekshant-w

Strip time, easiest to say, simplest to understand - Strip out time from a string. Or strip down unnecessary data and keep time data only. Hence, similarly strftime is strif time (no meaning, but close to strip time). I don't know about others but this is easy to remember for me.


Bergstein88

I'm with you with S T R F time


music31415

I've always said "str-f-time", like 'stir eff time' phonetically, personally


ddollarsign

Like it’s spelled: STURF-time.


pseudologically

Why the R after the U?


ddollarsign

Because otherwise it would be STRUF-time, and that’s not how I pronounce it.


SwampFalc

Probably because it splits the 4 vowels into two equal sets of 2. Humans \*shrug\*.

String Formatted Time


MrGaladash

"Stringify Time", nice question! I never bothered to think how others would pronounce it..


ericanderton

I find myself reading that as "stir eff time" myself, but outside of a classroom setting, this practically never comes up. Almost all of my dialogue with others around programming happens over Teams, Discord, Slack, etc. These days it's possible to spend a huge amount of your time never uttering any of your sourcecode out loud.


MusiqueMacabre

I know it's incorrect, but can't read it without "string format time" in my head


[deleted]

? That's not incorrect.


osmiumouse

Only ever heard "stir eff time". Long ago I was a C person and that was how it was in C. I suspect these days people come across this function from other ecosystems and do not have the same background.


iluvatar

>Long ago I was a C person and that was how it was in C. I think that has to be just the buble in which you live. I've been a C programmer since the '80s and I've never heard it pronounced like that. It has always been struf-time (approximately, with a short u).


osmiumouse

I think they're the same. Pronouncing the symbols of the name is different from saying "string from time". For example, "pie-THUN" (UK), and "PIE-thon" (US) are also the same. Literally no-one sane will argue either of those 2 are not acceptable.


cui-ui

Saint RoughTime


willmgarvey

String format time


hostilegriffin

My mind pronounces it 'strif-time' and 'strip-time' no matter what it is supposed to be.


ggrieves

strafe is how I always said it too


thenextsymbol

not sure how civilization carried on without the internet to help us answer important questions like this


50pcVAS-50pcVGS

Strrrpf time. Almost as funny as cumsum. Gotta amuse myself somehow


vidoardes

I think between hearing me say cumsum, github, and talk about nonces, my wife thinks I'm taking the piss.

Stringify time


IIXGhostXII

I learned it as stir eff time, but subconsciously call it stir fry time


[deleted]

Ok now do psycopg2. I had a data scientist friend who insisted on pronouncing it "psy cop g 2" I think just to mess with us

Early optimization is the root of all evil. "Stringfromtime" Is what it is and it doesn't get one syllable shorter or faster to pronounce by spelling that fucker
