Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)

Or to quote from a book I own:
This page is accidentally left blank
I always thought that is funny, but I think they do that to ensure blank pages aren’t skipped by the printer.
Probably helps protect the pages before being bound too (at least historically)
That would be
This page is intentionally left blank
Theirs is a little different...
Just once I want one of those to say what it really means.
Please don't return this book, it hurts our numbers. We just had an extra page ¯\(ツ)/¯
Maybe to avoid all the page numbering after that being shifted?
Maybe a play on "This page intentionally left blank" from the IBM manuals
That would make sense. It's a playful book with many jokes in it
It's the very first page and the second one is page 2
So then it would affect literally all the pages in the book, if it were removed!?!:-P
Well, it's not uncommon to leave the first page blank or with some generic stuff. Someone else already pointed out that it might be an inside joke

Failed to load media
Hmmm. I was having issues with images on my lemmy host taking forever to propagate so I used postimages for this one. The gremlin is following me.
I'll attempt to fix.
Very fitting!
Took me until I saw OP's answer to realize it wasn't a joke
Seems to work for me, now.
I'm on ttrpg.network, using the Jerboa client on Android.
Yeah, works for me now too. Something must have been changed.
And that's why it's called "production environment" I guess
