Useless Statements

Are there actually any real programmers even frequenting this board?

because it seems to me that the only people posting responses are:

1. making fun of grammar
2. saying not to help the person
3. making an obvious and unhelpful statement
4. insulting the OP's intelligence
5. insulting the OP's choice of prog language (regardless of what it is)
6. Insulting the OP's Operating system (regardless of what it is)
7. Making a statement that is inaplicable in the situation, or
8. Using some form of leetspeak/pseudocode to insult or otherwise make a statement that is moot or inapplicable


so i would find it interesting if those that frequent this board fill out a quick questionaire:

A. Your Age
B. Your Level of Education
C. Your Experience with Programming (list all applicable)
and finally
D. Your current Occupation and Paygrade

Ill start with the next post...

PROTIP : You will probably never use lisp again but everything taught in this will surely make of you a better programmer.

Thanks.

Nice to see this board still isn't corrupted.

Stop trying to change that then, tripfag.

If you're not using Lisp it's just because you didn't learn it well enough (or the Haskellers got to you).

Why use Google Video when you can use http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/ ?

>>86
Because streaming it is nice. I doubt MIT's server for the SICP lectures are fast enough or that the files are small enough to be streamed, or a combination of both doubts. Regardless, Google Videos can be streamed on the fly, no point wasting space downloading them.

>>73
I think the "membership at large" achieves that result without my having to do anything.  I just drop by for my own amusement; and, in the rare occasion that there is a thread that hasn't been SICP/LISP/Enterprise/Sepples/whatever'd to death, maybe contribute a little.

>>87
MIT's server for the SICP lectures are fast enough
My old P3 can play video just fine. I don't understand how even a shitty server could be not ``fast enough'' to merely transmit data over the network.

or that the files are small enough to be streamed
It's fairly easy to re-encode them to stream (which is what both Google Video and YouTube do).

The only reason that MIT doesn't stream them is because there's no point -- it requires effort to set up when it's already available for free on YouTube. No technical limitations whatsoever.

fucking faggot.

>>89 is misinterpreting >>87, which was referring to the upload speed of MIT's server, not computing power, hence "... fast enough or that the files are small enough to be streamed" -- because the larger the media file, the more upload speed required to stream it. Furthermore, (1) it is easy to re-code them, and (2) there is no point in MIT streaming them when Google Video and YouTube do; yes, these are acceptable points, and >>87 said nothing of them nor indirectly disputed them.

Perhaps therapy is in order, for dealing with RAGE.

Forget it; it's NP-Complete.

That's kinda sad.

I dug it up just for you ♥.

I still remember my friend who had just decided his major was telling me about it.  "I'm going into computer science so I can make games.  I have some really cool ideas for games and I can't wait to make them."  I responded having actually read a programming book, "you should check out a programming book before going and see if it is for you.  It is different then you think".


He didn't pick up a programming before college and9 months later he switched majors and had a horrible GPA from it.

I remember this thread.

Sepples 2 years have   passed since then   and I still   learned a lot   of professionals who!
