/prog/ + drugs

/prog/s thoughts on mixing mind altering substances with programming. (both legal and otherwise)

When you were 12, right?

Weed is like alcohol in that regard. Will only kill your performance.

If you're trying to be one of those kewl nerds from that random haxxor flick, ok. But don't expect more.

I had a weird dream last night. Kyou from clannad was chasing after me and she was followed shortly by a large /progsnake army. She eventually caught up with me and proceeded to hurl SICP books at me.

I've decided to stop smoking weed before going to bed.

I had a dream where Sussman and Abelson were having a shoot-out with cops. Then Abelson went into some building and screwed Julie Sussman. Then they had an epic shoot-out with each other.

I had a strange dream the other day. I was riding the bus when all of a sudden this huge black snake head with retarded-looking eyes pops through the window and screams loudly "HAVE YOU READ YOUR SICP TODAY?" The bus had just stopped beside the library, and I ran inside as quickly as possible; the snake head was now chasing me around as I frantically searched for the legendary book among the shelves. I spotted the distinctive blue cover and ran toward it, the huge head inches from my ass. With great force I pulled the book from the shelf and instinctively directed it at the black head which by now was dripping with saliva at the mouth. It disappeared as it made contact with the book, disintegrating into a flurry of glowing parentheses.

I just sat there dazed for a few seconds, watching the feathery parehtneses slowly become smaller and fade away into nothingness. Slowly, I stood up, still clutching the purple book. I wondered about what I should do with it, then decided to put it back on the shelf. After doing so, I walked back out to the exit and boarded a bus, for where I did not know. The bus driver looked strangely familiar as I dropped the coins into the farebox;

"HAVE YOU READ YOUR SICP TODAY?" he suddenly yelled at me. Oh fuck, I thought to myself. Now I knew why he looked so familiar: He was The Sussman!

"Umm... no," I responded weakly. Suddenly his head looked a lot darker than it was a moment ago, and an evil grin appeared across his face. The bus's doors slammed shut and The Sussman's face turned an almost negroid black. His left hand shot at me and I could see that it was not a hand, but the head of a snake which protruded from its end. I turned around and ran towards the back of the articulated bus.
"Let me show you the power of Satori," The Sussman said in a deep hiss. His snakelike arm extended from his body towards me as I continued to run for what seemed like eternity towards the longbus's rear door.

"Longbus is loooooooooooooooooooooong", I thought to myself as I continued to run, the snake's head fast approaching. The bus seemed to go on forever. After a while, I passed the driver's seat. WTF, I thought. Ahead of me was The Sussman, standing in the aisle facing the same direction as me, with his left arm pointed forward.

I looked behind me, and saw the snake head was still approaching; I had managed to outrun it for a bit, and it was racing towards me. RECURSION! I jumped into the stepwell just as the head gained a sudden burst of speed, piercing through The Sussman and sending bright glowing parentheses everywhere. I watched first his body, then his hands disintegrate in the same manner that the head had earlier. The long black arm, floating in mid-air, slowly disappeared into a cloud of these glowing parentheses, and the snake's head, which I now noticed had come through the windscreen along with me, did the same after a few moments.

I stepped over to the driver's seat, looking for the door release switch. I found what appeared to be the switch and toggled it, but the doors did not open. Shortly after, a low hissing sound emanated from the bus itself, followed by the loud booming cry of "HAVE YOU READ YOUR SICP TODAY?", which felt as if it was coming from inside my head. Suddenly everything turned black.

I awoke to find myself still inside that mysterious bus, which was completely empty. The engine was still running, and it was still parked outside the library. "The library! Of course!" I thought to myself. As if my mind had been read, the front doors swung open and I ran from the bus toward the library, which also looked empty. I entered the building and frantically ran to where I had found the prized book earlier. The book was still there, and I grabbed it instinctively, then walked to the checkout. All but one counter was open, and there was a little Asian girl standing there; the place was deserted except for me and her. I put the book on the counter and she looked at it for a moment, then at me. "Have you read your SICP today?" she asked.

"You too?" I replied. "Have some tits and then GTFO and read your SICP!", she angrily shouted, then pulled up her shirt to show me her tits. She shoved the book into my hands and then disappeared spontaneously.

I left the library, and waited at the bus stop. The previous bus was no longer there. The girl I saw earlier walked up to me and looked at the Wizard Book I was holding, then glanced down at my crotch.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING STANDING THERE LIKE AN IDIOT? READ IT!" she suddenly shouted. Astounded, I quickly opened the book and started to read the first chapter. I was so intrigued by the book that I didn't notice she had begun to give me a blowjob. When I looked down, she took his mouth from my cock to angrily shout "GO BACK TO READING YOUR SICP" and so I did. I didn't even notice that I came until after she told me to stop reading. A short while later, the bus arrived.

Look at it this way.

On most browsers, you can bring up your browsing history by pressing Control-H. (No, this is not going to become a discussion of werecows.) On Firefox, this brings up a sidebar that shows up on the left side of the window. If you put your mouse over the edge of the sidebar, the cursor will turn into a different kind of arrow. By clicking and dragging it, you can move the edge of the sidebar back and forth. You are, to put it another way, manipulating the border between the normal window and the history window. By moving the mouse, you can increase the portion of the window devoted to either part. In a more extreme view of this situation, you're increasing or decreasing the amount of existence the sidebar has.

Now, let's apply this idea to something more abstract. Look out your window. If you don't live in a highly urbanized area, you should be able to see the horizon. Think of this as the border between the land and the sky. The land and sky are obviously distinguishable thanks to this boundary. Now, if you were to "drag" the sash between the sky and the land, or to manipulate the border between land and sky, you would end up causing the sky to become larger and the land to become smaller, or vice versa. An effect of this might be to cause something that was just on the ground to suddenly be hundreds of feet in the air. Truly a frightening situation to be in. So, look at it this way - manipulating the border between two physical things shifts whatever balance there is in the interaction between those things. Alternatively, by manipulating the border between two things, you can change the manner in which they exist.

Still, this isn't *that* abstract, since it's still dealing with real things in the real world. Many believe that in this world, there are those things that are true, and those that obviously aren't. This divides reality into two extremes: truth and falsehood. But, since we have two extremes, logically one can imagine a boundary between those two extremes - the border between truth and lies. If one were to manipulate this border, suddenly things that were pure fantasy (flying pigs, for the sake of argument) have become reality - or things from reality have ceased to exist. This is how Yukari is said to have invaded the moon - by manipulating the border between truth and lies, as applied to the reflection of the moon on a pond, she was able to make the reflection of the moon into a manifestation of the actual moon, and so send her youkai army onto it. This is what's truly amazing about Yukari's power - the ability to manipulate the border between completely abstract concepts allows her to fundamentally change reality as we know it (at least in terms of two abstract concepts).

i've been smoking weed or some 8 years now and i'm a professional programmer

i've stopped taking thizz now but i had this chemical period where i was snorting and bombing meth and yola, while working as a programmer

for a year i was living in a real crappy apartment to, no internets, so i would stay all night at work, infront of my terminal, all alone in an empty office, writing code, on meth

i had no problem doing things i was interested in on meth, like i wouldn't be able to do my homework better just because i was on meth or yola for that matter, but the problem was that i discovered crazy pieces of code weeks later, code that i had completely forgotten, code that was written while on meth, code that sucked or simply didn't make sense

so yeah, you can /prog/ on d, but i wouldn't recommend it, i never code while on weed, i just chillax, i might code inbetween joints sometimes but not often

With great force I pulled the book from the shelf
WITH GREAT FORCE

Im a comp sci graduate now working an enterprise java development company (*groan*). I smoke a lot of weed, i.e. most days. I find that in the work environment the two dont mix nearly as well, cos of bullshit things, like workmates. In college when all coding was done solo I used to get bake and code practically every time an assignment was due.

the beta-endorphin RUSH from proqram completion is my drug

DRAGONFORCE!! is the greatest force known to man.

go back to /b/ grandma, you're drunk.

she took his mouth from my cock

If I'm dog tired and need to code something immediately, I might have a mug of coffee. My code will be shit, but it least I'll have done it.

I never code with any drugs apart from that - I just end up writing crap that doesn't work.

Much better than that is a good night's sleep, a relaxed attitude and a clear mind.

But /prog/ is nerds and nerds don't do drugs.

>>58

What makes you think that?

>>59
Nerds by definition respect intelligence. Drugs tend to have strange effects with the mind. I personally don't want to take LSD, for example.

>>59
Stupidity and ignorance.

>>60

I don't get it.

>>60
You don't really know too much about psychedelics, do you?

I often code when stoned (but then again, I often do a lot of things when stoned).
I find it doesn't hamper my coding as long as I'm not <i>too</i> stoned. I find weed helps me think, well.. maybe not <i>helps me think</i>, but rather helps me relax, which in turn helps me think. I've never had any problems with weed and productivity <i>except when smoking large quantities</i>. A joint every hour, or so, while coding though and I perform better.

>>61-63
And we have all been trolled.

>>64,65 same person
I fail at bbcode :-( which I guess completely debunks my claim that I function well while stoned :'(
I guess I stand corrected!

>>64,66,67 dammit! I was foiled!
I was thinking bbcode but typed fucking html. That be the effects of drugs...

HOW DOES SEEING THE MUSIC IMPAIR MY ABILITY TO PROGRAM?

Baach... bach,  Bach! Fuck, Bach! ,,,,fuckf. FUCK.. BAAACH. FUCK!

What?

Was?

Prerendering BBCode in the textarea is not how it's supposed to work!

I PERSONALLY ENJOY INGESTING SO-CALLED ``HEROIC DOSES'' OF VARIOUS PSYCHOACTIVES WHILE DESIGNING PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

SIMON PEYOTE JOINTS

lol'd

My friends once paid me $5 to solve a shitty Sepples exercise. I did it while drunk and they loved it.

e/r diagrams are like drugs
