Nope, stolen from a Telegram group chat, not sure where it’s originally from.

That’s the static variable in the function sticking around and watching the madness unfold.

I remember some dude on the Internet with a jar and an MLP figurine that might be able to help you out.

KDE since 2002. KDE 4 lyfe.

C and assembly programmers: first time?

It’s also because we started doing shit like using JS in places it really shouldn’t belong. Half the programs on my PC are just webapps running in a sandbox environment, instead of using systems languages like C/C++ directly like was the case 15-20 years ago. Abstractions on top of abstractions on top of abstractions. JS was fine for embellishing elements of a web site and facilitating AJAX, it should have never been turned into an app language.

That’d be like if interpreted BASIC was taken seriously in the 80s as more than just a toy and the majority of popular software was written in it. We’d rightfully question WTF society was thinking.

Another big part is learning how to set it up in a way that it’s functional and productive the first time and then STOP FUCKING WITH IT.

“WTF, none ‘a these are fuckin’ socks!”

have lost GPUs before, but not yet to mining.

I have. Power rails on GPU shorted due to failed MOSFET, blew the PSU as well as the card. The mini-explosion woke the whole family at 2am. I was also running it just under what was considered the high end of tolerable for the card, with a huge box fan attached to the side of the open case.

And if it survives until then will have a couple months of gaming out of it before a dried out capacitor or overstressed MOSFET blows. Ask me how I know.

Something wrong with:

#include <Arduino.h>


void loop()  {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
}

? 😂🤮

Cobol: you are old, and a nerd, and probably making some sweet cheddar right now propping up a mid to late 20th century beast somewhere.

Assembly: you are a cyborg.

Welp, back to NCSA Mosaic I guess. We never needed CSS and JS anyway, those were a huge mistake.

I’m not just talking about employment. At some point, we all engage in something that leads to something immoral and unethical.

And you are completely morally clean with everything you do in life and interact with? Stones, glass houses, etc.

I can relate. I can emphasize with someone who’s learned every nuance of a language, and after 30-40 years suddenly these kids come in with their strange hieroglyphics slowly replacing everything you’ve worked on.

it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.

I’m an electronic security installer. You know how many times I’ve done stuff like install a complete 40+ camera CCTV system at a new store under construction only to be back at the same store a year later ripping it all out when it goes out of business? I know what that feels like.

Worst is when you come around for a regular store equipment refresh and recognize something you installed at that store ten years ago and start feeling real old…

Good luck wherever life takes you now.

Everything is just silicon oxide gates being saturated and drained and turned on and off in various patterns very rapidly in a way that means something to us. That Fortran/C/C++/Assembly depends on that tiny two-MOSFET AND gate in the ALU to do the AND correctly every time.

Programming languages at the basic level are just an automated way of putting numbers into a calculator, processing them, and getting another number/status/flag back and doing something else with it based on the result.
