  • Jesus FUCKING Christ when will you stupid fucks move into the modern era

    Like fucking Cox in Oklahoma STILL uses fucking ipv4 and they have had problems with issuing duplicate addresses for over a fucking DECADE

    That is fucking pathetic. Fuck Cox’s neanderthal leadership and fuck them for thinking that your service going down for 30 minutes EVERY DAY is fucking acceptable. Plus, their servicemen are straight untrained garbage.

    In comparison, I used ATT fiber for a while and it was perfect, and used ipv6 natively, as well as had an easier install, and allows for port forwarding. We need to do what China has and start executing these clowns who have wasted literal trillions of subsidies on twiddling their thumbs and gouging customers who have no other choice but to deal with their bullshit.









  • Is there a reason you want to start with lisp? If you’re like, intellectually incapable of complex languages, the simple one I’m familiar with is python, which works great for a beginner who doesn’t want to get into the nitty gritty of implementation. As long as you’re not developing for a business or similar, I doubt you’ll even notice there is an efficiency difference. IMO, the increased readability is tantamount to Python’s usefulness to newbies.



  • I don’t use C++ and I complain about it all the time. Never have I had a project that couldn’t be completed in equal or better accuracy in something other than C++, and the amount of development time it adds on just to use the damn thing is prohibitive. Let alone fast compilation for iterative design, or reduction in boilerplate. I feel the only thing C++ has is seniority and a smidgen of performance, and performance is rapidly being approached or exceeded by projects like rust.

    I think there are two types of programming languages:

    Good ones that are expressive and readable, like you need from a language.

    And

    Things that sorely need replacement.

    Sorry, I just really fucking hate that quote. It’s so pretentious and stupid, and doesn’t allow for the development of anything new unless people don’t like it. Programmers are surprisingly conservative.
