``Is that even relevant to the topic or is that just your way of saying "I've read SICP"?''
End.
The ``Have you read your SICP today?'' must only be used with the snake.

This was never a meme, it was never funny, it was always forced, and any discussion about or involving it has always been and always will be unfunny.

This is an old meme that is no longer funny.

DISCUSSING THE STATE OF /PROG/ IS /PROG/ AT ITS LOWEST
Is that even relevant to the topic or is that just your way of saying "I've read SICP"?
was more like
Does that have anything to do with the topic, or is that just your way of saying "I've read SICP"?
I'm pretty sure about that because I was the first to say that. The current form is arguably more natural, though.

I'd say more of an ``addition'' than a ``correction''. You have not refuted my point that it is old and unfunny. You have just added that it was the first and that you invented it, and that it has caused /prog/ to enter the glory that we see today.

You're missing a large part of the point of /prog/.

That creepy guy who manages to dig up everything from /prog/: would you kindly find the first instance for me. Google is useless and I'm not interested in wading through all of /prog/ to find it. The first reference is from somewhere around spring 2007. It was in response to someone presenting how to construct cons, car, and cdr using nothing but lambdas.

Look at what you just wrote. I made you write that, grasshopper.

CONS = λxyf·f x y
CAR = λc·c(λxy·x)
CDR = λc·c(λxy·y)
FOO = CONS x y
CAR FOO → x
CDR FOO → y

That doesn't even include the ones with the /prog/snake, because they're broken up over several lines. ``Have you read SICP?'' may be five months older, but it's ``Have you read your SICP today?'' that's the meme.

By Jove, you're right!
Maybe except for the Expert Programmer bit. How come we never see that old copypasta anymore? It had spunk.

Listen guys. I can see that you've all got your pants in a twist here. I'm going to speak from a functional programmer's perspective, being a functional programmer myself. I shall also presume that the originator of this post did not make it solely with the intent of provocation.
Let us compare this situation to the bullies taking the piss out of the class nerd. Being programmers, most of us will have been on the receiving end of this. We know from these situations that the reproach is not justified, and that the victim is not guilty just for being smarter than the rest of the people. The bullies are merely taking out their envy of his greater intelligence on him.
This is just the case for functional programming versus imperative. Half of you fuckwits are probably past the stage of learning anything new in life. You probably got along at school, and you maybe get As in all of your Java exams. Big bloody deal. Do you really know anything about computer science or mathematics? No, you don't. What you do know is that people of the functional programming crowd do know computer science and mathematics, and that they are probably smarter than you. You are jealous of this. Please get over it and stop bawwing.

Try usenet or something.
My other car existed long before /prog/.
you are absolutely rediculous to say that EXPERT BBCODE PROGRAMMER isn't funny, although it is only funny with the word bbcode in it, its still very very funny and always has been, obviously your just a faggot that likes stirring up shit op.
