Where is "they've played us for absolute fools"
Ah yes, let's forget that that image is created on a computer
No, I made it pixel by pixel on a piece of paper, and then scanned it to spread the word.
Thank you for your service
Science? There's science behind the clusterfuck we call software nowadays?
Yes, it's just buried under crap and and redundant copies of itself. And possibly still written in Fortran.
I think it's only getting worse. I always assumed the next generation will be more tech savvy than the last one. I had to learn windows/mac/dos when i grew up, just to play some video games. There was a lot of troubleshooting and hardware problems i had to figure out. When i was 25, people would tell me that their 5 year old can use their ipd better than they can. (Ipads just came out.) I thought these kids are gonna be computer wizards when they grow up. It was the absolute opposite. I talked to these kids when they were around 16 again, and they were absolutely clueless. If it wasn't an ipad or an app they could use, they might as well play with a piece of glass. Can you do ..... On an ipad? Hmm, what app is that? It's not an app is something you do, like a setting. Hmmm... I'll check the app store.
Yep, 1990-2010 was kind of the golden age for learning computers on the fly. They were too rare and inaccessible before, and they're too polished and sandboxed now.
Vaguely.
Misinterpreted, abused, generally mistreated, ignored and disrespected.
I feel like these terms apply to any non-JS dev ever.
Source: JS can suck my balls. It's an awful, chaotically evil language that has never made any sense, nor do I think it ever will.
while 1 print money
Central banks obfuscate this code a bit, but its all about having the right printer hooked up.
Well, they use a for loop that whatever group of bureaucrats has to enter a limit into, but basically yes.
I mean, the entirety of Steam's code could maybe be described as an obfuscated version of
while(true){ print(money); }
Twitter is just a wrapper around a database.
YouTube is just a weeeeeeeird cylinder that simply can not be filled.
=P
Ok but that is actually a nonsensical statement. In no case will using threads and recursion reduce cpu usage
Removing spinlocks on IO by using async event handling can reduce cpu usage
Oh I can use threads and recursion to stop CPU usage.
Maybe if the threads pause a lot, and pause even more as the stack unwinds to the final exciting conclusion.
I suppose that's true. And also deranged to do it on purpose
using threads to reduce cpu usage ? in what world ? if you can parallelize tasks you will always increase the workload done.
they said optimize CPU usage, not reduce CPU usage. clearly they actually want to increase CPU utilization in this mysterious "0.02%" situation in order to get the results faster
Honestly I'm disappointed. The reasons exposed here are much too weak.
"Write it in a paper"...I'm not sure how that works but I am very curious
Just use a printer! It’s in the name!!!
If you go back far enough, you'd be coding the ENIAC via punchcards.
... Or maybe today you could write code on paper and have an AI augmented OCR system try to run it?
Write so hard out of anger that you rip the paper.
