can you really call python programming though? The reason why python is so quick to write is because its so-called libraries are pre-compiled C programs. so you're not writing new programs, you're scripting existing ones.
you ever get the feeling that programming has gotten way too overbloated? that good old fashioned engineering has been buried under miles of industry standards, best practices, enterprise services, business methodologies, and managers trying to justify their paychecks?
feels like a giant bubble way too overdue for a needle.
Odd how this is the opposite of my experience. My mother is unable to print or scan things 2/3 of the time on her HP printer using windows 10. You know, the OS whose parent company has very close relations with HP, and is updated in a manner that forces their users to use the most up-to-date official HP drivers, even going as far as to prevent them from using any other drivers, including the default windows ones.
Meanwhile, my Linux laptop can operate the printer just fine. Never had an issue. I can even operate the loading tray, despite the HP tech support reps telling my mother it is broken.
Not exactly accurate, I think. Even machine language is bound by the CPU's architecture. You can't do anything in machine language that wasn't specifically provided for by the CPU architects.
It would be more accurate to say it's like creating a new universe using all the same laws of physics, thermodynamics, cosmology, ethics, etc as our existing universe.
I don't have anything to say about Apple users, because I don't know anything about them. I do however have things to say about Windows users, having been one my entire life up until a few years ago.
And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I'm going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.
I don't think Windows user disagree with privacy per se. IMO, it's more that they believe the lie that privacy is a myth, despite the fact it was had in abundance hardly more than a decade ago.
As someone who is admittedly addicted to windows hate juice, can we start getting more memes extolling the virtues of Linux/Unix, and fewer memes about windows being bad? We could be talking about Unix's amazing shell environment, or its devotion to text-streams as an interface. Complaining about Windows just makes us look like we aren't confident in our decisions to use Linux.
I want to point out that, just like in real life, its the inclusion of that "++" which complicates things. Without them, it would be straightforward and elegant, having only 1 logical solution.
Makes you wonder why people keep insisting on having the "++" around. Why not ditch them and go back to basics.
"It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."
