I'd rather never have sex than to give up programming. My reason is mainly sex doesn't seem that enjoyable to begin with, plus you have the risk of catching diseases/AIDS. Name me one programming language that gave you aids. besides java
Don't use mathematical notation in your posts unless describing mathematical properties, especially when you don't know shit about mathematics.

Could you post this /prog/ Manual of Style in its entirety then please? Just so we all know the rules... Oh what's that? The manual doesn't exist and you were just pulling bullshit sections out of your ass because you're a troll who belongs in /b/??! Well I never!!
Shit, tough call. I would give up sex with my current girlfriend if I could keep programming; but the thought of missing out on someone hotter makes me a little unsure.
I would choose programming over sex since I can always masturbate or get a doll. And unless something super awesome is going to come up that pays the bills (with a ton left over) then its a no brainer.
I'd like to take a moment to speak to you about the Adobe PSD format.
// PSD is not a good format. PSD is not even a bad format. Calling it such would be an
// insult to other bad formats, such as PCX or JPEG. No, PSD is an abysmal format. Having
// worked on this code for several weeks now, my hate for PSD has grown to a raging fire
// that burns with the fierce passion of a million suns.
// If there are two different ways of doing something, PSD will do both, in different
// places. It will then make up three more ways no sane human would think of, and do those
// too. PSD makes inconsistency an art form. Why, for instance, did it suddenly decide
// that *these* particular chunks should be aligned to four bytes, and that this alignement
// should *not* be included in the size? Other chunks in other places are either unaligned,
// or aligned with the alignment included in the size. Here, though, it is not included.
// Either one of these three behaviours would be fine. A sane format would pick one. PSD,
// of course, uses all three, and more.
// Trying to get data out of a PSD file is like trying to find something in the attic of
// your eccentric old uncle who died in a freak freshwater shark attack on his 58th
// birthday. That last detail may not be important for the purposes of the simile, but
// at this point I am spending a lot of time imagining amusing fates for the people
// responsible for this Rube Goldberg of a file format.
// Earlier, I tried to get a hold of the latest specs for the PSD file format. To do this,
// I had to apply to them for permission to apply to them to have them consider sending
// me this sacred tome. This would have involved faxing them a copy of some document or
// other, probably signed in blood. I can only imagine that they make this process so
// difficult because they are intensely ashamed of having created this abomination. I
// was naturally not gullible enough to go through with this procedure, but if I had done
// so, I would have printed out every single page of the spec, and set them all on fire.
// Were it within my power, I would gather every single copy of those specs, and launch
// them on a spaceship directly into the sun.
//
// PSD is not my favourite file format.

Will a new version of all of your damn programs ever happen, Dag, or are you too busy writing witty comments?

He's writing code. Last I checked he was messing with NDS hax and working on greatly improving support for various archive formats in The Unarchiver. I believe he's spent a bit of time with Xee recently as well.
If you're looking for Wakaba or Kareha, you might as well just start hacking it yourself, he's pretty much done with them. I think the realization that 90% of the people running imageboards were about 12 years old was enough for him to move along.

any chance there'll be an NDS version of swear anytime soon?

rar sucks and shouldn't ever be used.
it especially shouldn't be used to wrap up 100 already compressed video files when you're going to just split it up into a hundred files again and then make a torrent. doing that makes the individual files completely useless unless you download the whole 400GB torrent.

You kids and your newfangled torrents, rar is the usenet standard for binary posts, always has been, always will be.

i was going to point out that LZMA was unfree, but then i found out that it just recently became free (5 months ago).
but the 7-zip program is still unfree, and there isn't any good free lzma utility yet. please use tar with compress or bzip2 instead.

I thought that one was old enough that idiots who wandered in from /b/ yesterday and can't even back to /b/, please correctly wouldn't recognize it.

Tell that to the dipshits who feel the need to upload multi-part passworded shit on three different rapidshit clones because they can't understand how to make a torrent.
But hey, at least they're not using 7z.
