No. The proper term is GEEK. Needs are uncoordinated, awkward, have no fashion sense, and occasionally tape their broken glasses (or say sheepishly, “did I do that?”)
Geeks have in-depth, we’ll researched knowledge on topics that are obscure to the “mundanes”, have intellectual curiosity, and sometimes gain in wealth as a result. In many cases, they tend to make non-geeks (and geeks for other topics) completely befuddled. This sometimes results in insecurity on the part of non-geeks, which negatively impacts their social lives. On rare occasions, such geeks are so over the top smart that they transcend such petty attitudes (see: Neil deGrasse Tyson)
TIL fortran has a logo
…but some nerds are more equal than others.
Where would COBOL fall?
“You’re in a Nursing Home”
“and nerd”
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.
Assembly: you are a cyborg.
Or programming a tiny microcontroller to blink a led as efficient as possible.
Something wrong with:
#include <Arduino.h> void loop() { digitalWrite(13, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13, LOW); delay(1000); }? 😂🤮
Obviously the only correct way to blink an LED is to use a hardware timer to trigger a DMA transfer which stores a bit in the pin toggle register at a set interval
yeah! Or or use the interrupt pins and a 555 timer! both options are better than python though at least.
I know who made this included React and HTML specifically to trigger us programmers, to that I say… well played >:(
Javascript should say “you are a masochist and a nerd”
Who thought of that and how have they managed to sustain their core bodily functions this long?
Probably this guy
I take it that he dictated the book to his therapist from a state of paralysis.
with his therapist 🤣
That should be a dog fucking a football.
This is deep.

Rust: you are a nerd wearing programming socks.
Trying to rewrite everything in the universe
It’s a shame that the Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils was named uutils and not uwutils.
What is the bottom right language?
Perl. It was the cool thing from 1998 to 2008.
Still the linux sysadmin’s language of choice!
The revenge!
Lisp gang rise up! uses inhaler
As a haskell nerd, I feel that I have the moral authority to declare you king of the nerds.
“Ha! You think your language has macros? You call that a macro?! This list processing code is a list of tokens, why wouldn’t it be able to edit itself?”
It breaks my brain.
Is haskell still alive?
Absolutely. It’s just that less fuss is being made about it on hacker news because the cool kids say you’ll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn rust when they used to say that you’ll be a better programmer in other languages if you learn haskell.
With stack (consistent package version snapshot database based project starter and build tool) instead of cabal, you get the transferable and repeatable build benefits of docker with none of the hassle. Just
stack newat the start andstack buildorstack replduring development. Nothing gets bitrotten any more.Nah, I am not talking about hackernews buzz. I just thought it is dying couple of years ago.
I’ve addressed both popularity (waned - rust is the cool new difficult-to-learn principled language now) and bitrottenness (rock solid). I’m not sure what else you were meaning if it wasn’t either of these.
When they said, “Don’t write self modifying code”, they obviously didn’t mean me! /s
what about BASIC
R
We can reject the null hypothesis that you are not a nerd at significance $\alpha < 0.001$.
oh wait, shit let me run that again, my data frame is full of NA somehow, again.
