The world is going to be absolutely fucked when the older engineers and techies who built all this modern shit and/or maintain it and still understand it all retire or die off.

Gotta save that stock price somehow. Activate investor bullshit machine.

Time to sail the high seas. When they leave no other option…🏴‍☠️

Kerbal Space Program. Loved KSP1, but still salty about spending $60 on the pre release of KSP2 thinking it would help fund development. Never again. Learned my lesson for sure. Both versions are basically dead now. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

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

It’s 2025, not 2007. This is a huge exaggeration. Maybe try it again sometime.

The article is about Altair BASIC. That one was actually homegrown.

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

Who asked for this? Did y’all ask for this? I don’t remember asking for this.

Looks around room in confusion

KDE since 2002. KDE 4 lyfe.

Jokes never translate well. Even between somewhat-related languages, like western European ones. Best to just not.

C and assembly programmers: first time?

Actually, my distaste for Big Tech is nothing new. It’s been building for decades.

First, little stuff like the inkjet printer that you invited into your house that claims to need, “Just a little more cyan, bro. I’ll print your black and white page after I get my cyan. Come on, bro.”

That’s because it needs to print the tracking dots on every page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

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.

It’s because you didn’t spend a significant portion of your life learning how to create things from, for lack of a better term, your soul, and then had a machine suddenly rip it all away from you. There are good things and bad things about gen-AI.
