According to Wikipedia, it's Could-Her. As in, a cow chews her cudder

Quoting from the SICP, 2nd edition, footnote to p. 85: Car stands for "Contents of Address part of Register" and cdr(pronounced "could-er") stands for "Contents of Decrement part of Register."
Also, if you pronounce "could" like "cud", you should probably spend some time swallowing razorblades.

These aren't achievements.
There have been some real gems of useful information posted to /prog/ in the past. But it's so rare that those are the real achievements.

Today at work, I saw these pamphlets which said, ``Your other Job, Your Other Pay.''
I grinned as I couldn't help but think of ``My other Car.''
/prog/ made me read SICP. Now I finally got a job.

C does provide an advantage for me almost everywhere: I've got 13 years of experience in it (started using it at the tender age of 13). Don't just count the features of the language, is what I'm saying.

Fix'd.
I've used C longer than any other programming language, for a bit over ten years, and I know it better than most other languages. Do I use it for most things? No. My last big project is written in almost 100% Python and contains less than 200 lines of C code.
Knowing C well doesn't mean that you don't need to waste massive amounts of programming time implementing elementary functionality that is not even a part of your problem domain.

As always, elementary functionality comes from a library. Linked lists, red-black trees, hashes, error propagation and so forth.
>>35 And a compiler that warns for, you know, misspelled variable names.
I don't know what you're doing wrong, but I do know you're doing something wrong if misspelled variable names are ever a problem for you.

Obviously he is just saying typos happen, and it is nice when the compiler is good about warning about them. Don't take it way out of proportion.

Ok, now switch python with any concise, compiled programming language which warns about misspelled variable names (a programming mistake as silly as segfault).
now? what is your answer?

ONE WORD, FORCED INDENTATION OF THE CODE, THREAD OVER

One day, /prog/ is going to form their own cadres. And then it'll be cudders for all, except eunuchs (who wouldn't know what to do with one anyway). We would not carry combat rations, instead towing around singly linked chains of canned tuna. Truly it will be the start of a new era, when the unwashed masses will meet forced indentation of code or they will meet the forced indentation of their skulls.

your heart is now beating manually,
your penis is now beating manually,
your ceo is now meeting annually;
your life is falling apart;
your wife is dating bart;
but at the end of it all you still own a cart
and when that bullet goes through your heart
you realize the one thing that set you apart...
the fact that your other car was a cdr.

The Abelson pronounces it could-her in SICP lectures.
Every sufficiently complicated Indo-European language contains an implementation of half of Japanese.
