(and better software)

2018-09-10 18:08:47 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

oh yeah

2018-09-10 18:09:05 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

the only thing I really use from Google is Android and Google Drive, and I only use Google Drive because if offers more space than OneDrive

2018-09-10 18:11:23 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

yeah

2018-09-10 18:11:48 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

unfortunately, for someone like me there's not really another option, I can't install Ubuntu Touch because Huawei doesn't offer bootloader unlocking anymore

2018-09-10 18:12:17 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

i'd find some way around that, but I literally cannot be bothered, I hate smartphones and I only use them for music and calls/SMS

2018-09-10 18:13:36 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

smartphones specifically that is, i'd be fine with a simpler retro device if only mobile apps weren't becoming popular and sometimes I use it for portable tasks

2018-09-10 18:13:52 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

oh okay

2018-09-10 18:13:55 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

mine isn't that expensive lol

2018-09-10 18:19:27 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

see

2018-09-10 18:19:42 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

he had to spend all that time going out to buy a new stick of RAM just so he could open Discord and Eclipse at the same time

2018-09-13 16:33:08 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

welp

2018-09-13 16:33:21 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

python's gay I guess, time to make my own language it seems

2018-09-17 14:58:14 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

welp

2018-09-17 14:58:22 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

it's official then, TempleOS is the only safe OS

2018-09-17 15:02:53 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

either it's corrupt or Raspbian is retarded

2018-09-17 15:03:11 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

considering my RPi runs Raspbian, i'm willing to believe it's Raspbian's fault

2018-09-17 15:03:22 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

because Raspbian is mega big gay

2018-09-17 15:03:42 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

but of course i'm too lazy to migrate everything from there to another OS that probably isn't as well supported

2018-09-17 15:09:38 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

also, don't know if I said this before, but me and a friend of mine are working on a language with full object-orientation, simplified low-level system access, high performance, static types, abstraction control, internal optional memory management as well as a compiler

2018-09-17 15:09:50 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

and yes, i know I said optional memory management and then compiler

2018-09-17 15:10:23 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

it's not garbage collected, it's managed in such a way that you can easily incorporate the memory management along with the compiled executable using fancy scope logic

2018-09-17 15:11:39 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

and when I say simplified low-level system access, that means a lot of things, but one of the most interesting features is the ability to choose where you create your variables. you can specify in memory, on disk or, more importantly **in registers**.

2018-09-17 15:12:16 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

of course, there's a limit to how much you can cram into CPU registers, but if you use it wisely (e.g for function arguments for functions that take primitive types), you can end up with some amazing results

2018-09-17 15:13:24 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

if the project gets completed rather than getting shelved, most of my future projects will be based on that language. it's basically everything I could ask for when it comes to languages- a not-retarded version of C++

2018-09-17 15:16:53 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

I HAVE SEEN THIS IMAGE SO MANY TIMES ALREADY

2018-09-17 15:17:02 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

when in reality

2018-09-17 15:17:20 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

you can't ever beat my red-hot--.. oh, I can't post images

2018-09-17 15:18:03 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

I guess i just won't post an image of my hard drive's SMART readings showing a temperature of like 9 million degrees Celsius or something

2018-09-17 15:18:47 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

possibly, or the software is just reading the data incorrectly

2018-09-17 15:19:47 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

potentially, but I doubt that's what has happened. not an expert in how SMART functions, but i'm pretty sure different manufacturers use different formats for storing that particular data and that different programs for reading it rely on specific formats

2018-09-17 15:20:00 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

don't quote me on that though

2018-09-17 15:22:11 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

well, I don't think I said that specifically, but when it's completed, I most likely will be paying someone, yes ;P

2018-09-17 15:23:20 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

depends, half of it is in theory right now, but that's the aim, yes

2018-09-17 15:25:22 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

well I mean, the copyright license I came up with for all my current software literally contains an entire paragraph saying "Minecraft Steve in Robloxia is a gay Roblox fanfiction and you should all be disappointed" repeated like 16 times

2018-09-17 15:25:44 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

i think I may have had a stroke while writing it

2018-09-17 15:26:42 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

but basically, I've been programming in C++ for aaages and I was just thinking that there were loads of things in the language that could be simplified or just outright removed in order to make it way easier to work with at the cost of little to no performance (or potentially gaining some)

2018-09-17 15:27:22 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

and this Russian guy I know also was like "huh, wow, C++ is actually really retarded"

2018-09-17 15:28:43 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

and then we were like "hmm, welp, let's make some fully heterosexual language that's better and yet roughly the same speed as C++ and then call it something extremely polarizing like PinochetC or just cool like Quakelang and let other straight people use it too haha"

2018-09-17 15:29:54 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

so yeah, now we're doing that, which is fun

2018-09-17 15:30:42 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

i feel sorry for any normie who has to get a job coding at any silicon valley company in `<current year>`

2018-09-17 15:30:56 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

that's mangled as fuck

2018-09-17 15:33:32 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

well

2018-09-17 15:33:41 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

in the process of writing it actually

2018-09-17 15:33:44 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

nowhere near finished

2018-09-17 15:33:56 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

but yeah, i'll be sure to let you know when it's done lol

2018-09-17 15:36:08 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

aha, a VMfag

2018-09-17 15:36:22 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

also known as mr. java

2018-09-17 15:36:43 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

then why is he reinventing it

2018-09-17 15:36:44 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

stop him

2018-09-17 15:36:48 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

before it's too late

2018-09-17 15:38:38 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

dear god

2018-09-17 15:39:04 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

oh god

2018-09-17 15:39:53 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

what if he's creating a java interpreter clone, but he's doing it inside javascript so that he can run java applications on a poorly-made VM emulated within the V8 engine DEAR GOD STOP HIM STOP HIM

2018-09-17 15:40:56 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

he may literally be creating a weapon of mass destruction

2018-09-17 15:41:17 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

wiping out entire families by consuming their RAM, sucking them dry

2018-09-17 15:41:56 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

literally how the holocaust happened, hitler was just chromium

2018-09-17 15:43:56 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

i don't know, my RPi3 is covered in cobwebs, dust and whatever else materializes out of nowhere on my windowsill, i don't even remember what the SSH login details were

2018-09-17 15:44:14 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

i just let it do it's thing

2018-09-17 15:44:35 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

and every day the tiny fan progressively sounds more like a lawnmower

2018-09-17 15:45:05 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

maniac

2018-09-17 15:46:46 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

well, mine's covered in heatsinks and has a fan attached by zipties

2018-09-17 15:47:10 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

mind you, it is running at like 2 GHz or something

2018-09-17 15:47:18 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

and doesn't fit in the case because of heatsink hell

2018-09-17 18:04:02 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

too late

2018-09-17 18:04:04 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

already named it that

2018-09-19 19:23:32 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

I read through all the supposedly "disruptive" comments

2018-09-19 19:23:37 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

They really aren't, they just aren't.

2018-09-19 19:23:45 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

What a fucking disgrace.

2018-09-19 19:27:18 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

no need to rub it in >_>

2018-09-19 20:01:43 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

thanks to these fellas, I'm going to make sure that my brand new public documentation pages will use`master` and `slave` terms wherever possible

2018-09-19 20:03:07 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

am I allowed to post links to it by the way? it's pretty cool, basically I made a documentation system that uses exclusively no javascript. there's no pages on it yet except for test pages, but still

2018-09-19 20:05:17 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

I haven't done web development in a long time, but I chose to design the CSS myself rather than using a framework or anything because I wanted to make it feel like it was made in 2008 or something

2018-09-19 20:05:35 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

well, I mean the entire thing is PHP-based and you won't find `<script>` anywhere

2018-09-19 20:05:51 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

unless your browser extensions add in `<script>`, in which case, gay

2018-09-19 20:07:39 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

will do :P
Aside from all of my closed-source projects, there were some open-source Python projects I wanted to document on there before I dropped my support for Python altogether

2018-09-19 20:07:58 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

as well as documentation on PinoChe++

2018-09-19 20:13:06 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

well, my problem with python as a whole is that, as a project, it's needlessly easy at the cost of performance. the lack of static types is just retarded- and yes, I know Cython is a thing, I tried it, it's not for compiling statically-typed Python executables, it's for manual optimization and compilation of Python *modules* to C-based python extensions, which just wasn't what I wanted. that, and the syntax is just garbage. what I do like about Python is how it makes sense- the OOP features of the language make it a very logical language to work with, which is vastly different from the hell I experienced when I spent most of my life working with C++ and having to deal with fake and patchy OOP support and garbage class syntax etc

2018-09-19 20:13:10 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

and yes, I have the link

2018-09-19 20:15:32 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

and here was a very unhappy response from someone who probably looked at this the same way I did https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/9410

2018-09-19 20:16:18 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

oh and this, to add to the first list https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/9335

2018-09-19 20:17:08 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

you have to remember that google uses python for a lot of their projects, so a lot of these changes could've come from pressure induced by corporations who use the langauge

2018-09-19 20:21:15 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

yep

2018-09-19 20:21:28 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

they simultaneously pissed off like 50% of the people who use the language, perhaps more

2018-09-19 20:29:58 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

nah

2018-09-19 20:30:05 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

it's mainstream politics influencing mainstream people

2018-09-19 20:31:21 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

the people committing these changes are just told what to do by PR people, and the PR people just guess what the general population thinks based on what they hear, and to be honest, the left is pretty vocal compared to the right

2018-09-19 20:33:04 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

like I said, python's influenced by a lot of people and a lot of corporations, it's used practically everywhere in education, there **are** PR people who just sit there figuring out how they can pander to people even more, especially kids

2018-09-19 20:34:22 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

if you take C++, sure, a lot of people depend on it but it's been around for so long in essentially public domain that there isn't any centralization in it at all, other than maybe a few compilers as well as standards organizations, but standards organizations literally don't care and most of the time don't want to break anything

2018-09-19 20:35:43 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

yeah, but then there's a whole slew of other problems that comes with the language just like everything else decentralized- take IPFS for example

2018-09-19 20:36:28 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

IPFS is great and all.. in principle, decentralized, fast, saves bandwidth, whatever else- but it's just so hard to implement, all the implementations (including the reference one) are either broken or painfully unfinished as well as incredibly confusing to work with

2018-09-19 20:37:14 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

and C++ is definitely an upgrade over C, but it's still filled with a lot of stuff that things like the compiler could work out for you at no performance hit

2018-09-19 20:38:11 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

yeah, i tried using it for a project once

2018-09-19 20:38:17 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

was really enthusiastic at first

2018-09-19 20:38:28 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

but then a few hours later and I literally wanted to kill myself

2018-09-19 20:41:27 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

but seriously, there will be a point in society where, yes, C++ will have "offensive terms" removed too

2018-09-19 20:43:57 UTC [/r/SargonOfAkkad (Sparta) #comp-sci]  

i was thinking more government inforced level where everything is soviet union and if you don't use the soviet standard they execute you
