how dare you Im not an engineer
What language is that engineer and a nerd one?
Matlab.
How is your favourite language one that indexes arrays from 1??? You monster!
How dare you count things from one, like a human being.
I beg to disagree. It’s a law of nature to assign index 0 to the 1st th… Wait a moment
Laughs in perl
It’s dark… you are eaten by a grue.
TMTOWTDI.
Nerd.
what about BASIC
Perl should say: You are old and a nerd or you use Debian
This chart knows me.
Lisp gang rise up! uses inhaler
Nah, too relevant, what with LUA, functional programming, currying, and AI, et. al. ;)
I did an AI robot arena bot in college using Lisp. That was interesting.
As a haskell nerd, I feel that I have the moral authority to declare you king of the nerds.
“Ha! You think your language has macros? You call that a macro?! This list processing code is a list of tokens, why wouldn’t it be able to edit itself?”
It breaks my brain.
When they said, “Don’t write self modifying code”, they obviously didn’t mean me! /s
Is haskell still alive?
Absolutely. It’s just that less fuss is being made about it on hacker news because the cool kids say you’ll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn rust when they used to say that you’ll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn haskell.
With stack (consistent package version snapshot database based project starter and build tool) instead of cabal, you get the transferable and repeatable build benefits of docker with none of the hassle. Just
stack new
at the start andstack build
orstack repl
during development. Nothing gets bitrotten any more.Nah, I am not talking about hackernews buzz. I just thought it is dying couple of years ago.
I’ve addressed both popularity (waned - rust is the cool new difficult-to-learn principled language now) and bitrottenness (rock solid). I’m not sure what else you were meaning if it wasn’t either of these.
This is deep.
As a ruby guy, I’m just happy to be included.
Wow I’m an old engineer nerd. I feel so exposed. Zero is nothing always start at one for life.
Javascript should say “you are a masochist and a nerd”
Who thought of that and how have they managed to sustain their core bodily functions this long?
Probably this guy
I take it that he dictated the book to his therapist from a state of paralysis.
with his therapist 🤣
That should be a dog fucking a football.
No. The proper term is GEEK. Needs are uncoordinated, awkward, have no fashion sense, and occasionally tape their broken glasses (or say sheepishly, “did I do that?”)
Geeks have in-depth, we’ll researched knowledge on topics that are obscure to the “mundanes”, have intellectual curiosity, and sometimes gain in wealth as a result. In many cases, they tend to make non-geeks (and geeks for other topics) completely befuddled. This sometimes results in insecurity on the part of non-geeks, which negatively impacts their social lives. On rare occasions, such geeks are so over the top smart that they transcend such petty attitudes (see: Neil deGrasse Tyson)
If you’re programming in assembly, regardless of what it is, you are the biggest nerd of them all. And I have massive fucking respect for you.
Where holyC
You are a christian nerd
Aww I guess i’m fine since i mainly write in BBC BASIC SDL lol
Have you come to 2025 in a time machine? Can I borrow it?
Sorry I’m using it at the moment doing research for a Roman trading game I’m writing in BASIC.
Well, if Romans will perchance feed you to the lions… we won’t be sad.
Neeerd
Where is Objective-C?
