FLOSS is the correct way to say it, so if anything you are the retard here. From Stallman himself:

what other text editor can I use?
other than emacs and vim

nano

...

It was one of the advertised features of Swift.

Spacemacs.

Owns an iPhone instead of a Nokia.

Is married to an extremely obese Wife.

Swift supports all of Unicode. I'm sure Emoji was just meant as a joke as in "look, you can take it even this far".

He said other, not both at the same time.

I guess the people that use acme hold as much respect I'm my mind as the emacs chorders, but why inflict so much mouse use on yourself?

The tone of the keynote seemed to be more along the lines of:
"easier cross language code with emoji!"
"more engaging learning for kids!"

If it was a joke then it was a serious Kaufman-tier joke.

Actually, it was a girl who taught me how to write a parser when I was still a kid...

Is this an 'or' thing? Because I want to get neon dyed hair tbh, I think it looks cool. I'm thinking maybe red
No I'm not an SJW

Wat?

I encountered someone who uses Hungarian notation with Greek characters to denote types. it was incredibly annoying to hack around with his code, but the quality was otherwise very good.

I'd teach some programming to that girl. Starting from Smalltalk and then moving on to D. I'd explore her interfaces and make her print my name in repeat.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that.

Red flags for FLOSS projects you stumble upon

What's wrong with Gitlab? It's open source and not sjw-ridden

What should people use otherwise? Host it on his own Server? I don't think everyone has one and want one.

Thought Gitlab was the best alternative any reasons why it's not good?

...

I think is referring to this archive.is/KUUo9
> In case this is the policy it would mean we could not delete something like revenge porn ourselves, we would first have to wait for a takedown notice. I don't want to host content like that xkcd.com/1357/

also, you should suggest selfhosting alternatives like gogs.
maybe even host your own gitlab instance
since it's open source software.


nothing wrong with rust. it's the sjw-infested community that's the problem. I say take the software and never look back. Look for support somewhere else.

Are the two biggest fucking redflags in my experience as a programmer on both professional and amateur teams.

Holy sparkling polka dotted shrieking shit are both of those types of 'programmer' a deadly cancer to their teams.


Around cunts, prepare to shunt to a new job.

I'd also love to wear a trenchcoat and have a katana, but only awkward losers have these things and I don't want to look like one.

All the shit programmers I met in college compensated their poor programming skills with flashy computers. The opposite was also true to a weaker degree, about 50% of the good programmers had ThinkPads, netbooks or old laptops.

just do it man, who cares what they think

...

...

>religious about a language without appreciating the historic reasons for its success or its appropriate domain

I'd argue that they could just be fond of Genera, which doesn't require that knowledge to be appreciated.

This is it. Emojis are a globalist forced meme intended to undermine national languages and establish a (very stupid) cross-national language.

obvious Sublime Text is obvious

Fuck you. Do you think they have no right to program or what?

Back to reddit sjw cuck
>>>/reddit/

It's probably statistical inference.
Due to the introduction of "equality" quotas, the process of hire has become less meritocratic, and so the average quality of female employees has decreased, while they have become more numerous; ruining the reputation of female programmers.
If the system were configured to be truly equal there would me no difference and this stigma of female programmers would not exist.

I want all you sjws to leave.

Girls can't be programmers because they are inferior to men in logic. They are emotions based organisms. Studies have also shown that introducing females to any workplace decreases productivity. Fuck off back to reddit, Holla Forums, or whatever shithole you faggots crawled out of

Are you fucking retarded? None of my statement implies that.
Even if the population of females were substantially less competent on average, if the employment system were equal the resulting female employees would be just as competent as their male counterparts, just far less numerous.

I'm going to rephrase user's post in words that you can understand.

Companies are forced to hire more women. They used to hire based on how capable you are. There weren't as many women, but the ones that were there were good at their jobs. Now that they have to hire more women, they will inevitably hire incompetent ones. Those new, incompetent women make the good ones look worse.


Women are capable of being as good as men in designing logic. Most of the female talent is from China and India. My father, who has had chances to hire employees to work under him at Intel, has hired females.
He can't even tell what sex they are based on their weird foreign names. All he does is hire people if they're good, and there's this one Chinese woman who is just insanely competent.

That said, most of the engineers are male. No surprise.

...

Alice: Women are shorter than men.

Bob: my dad has hired women who were taller than him.

Fucking schools, man. I don't expect anyone to know what's off about the above, anymore. I am just pleasantly surprised whenever anyone demonstrates the faculty.

Let me fix that for you.

Alice: Women are shorter than men.

Bob: Due to sexual dimorphism, men tend to be taller than women (among other differences). However, due to natural variations that occur in both sexes, it's quite possible to see a short man and a tall woman. However, just because it's possible for women to be taller than men does not mean it's to be expected.

When they don't even compile-test their code before pushing it out live.

Your Bob is just restating what Alice said, in a manner intended to scare doubters away instead of enlighten them. What Alice said is perfectly fine -- we can plain language for statements about groups, too.

I'd rather have an Eve step up and draw two overlapping bell curves.

And have Malice report everyone for being regressive shitlords.

That isn't what was said though; if you had reasonable reading comprehension you would have understood user was referring to the possibility of some instances of women from the population having the capacity to perform to an equivalent or superior standard to that of some (albeit more) instances of men from the population.

Alice and Bob's statements differ in a manner which in this particular context is significant. Bell curves are the only way to represent the substance behind argument at hand.

Then rephrase the first statement to, "With exceptions, women are shorter than men".

I prefer the second solution though. Like this but with real stats.

THIS IMAGE IS ABLEIST TOWARD COLOR-DIFFERENTLYSIGHTED PEOPLE AND LOOKS LIKE A PAIR OF BREASTS PLEASE REMOVE THIS PROBLEMATIC CONTRIBUTOR

Or just "Women are shorter than men on average".

here you go friendo :^)

should have reversed my color order to correspond with wavelengths

No it doesn't m80.
It fucking doesn't. Also, the dyes fuck with your hair.

It doesn't look cool in the slightest. It's more of a "Look at me!" thing.

I've seen it in swift

they have ever right but they aren't as good

Yeah but I don't care what people think of me.

It does to me.

...

this:

...

you laugh, but it took me years to realize how much easier a command pattern is to work with than maintaining a never-ending if/else chain/switch-case/function pointer array, and how much better it is at avoiding god classes.

I'm not saying that all code has to be completed derived from some sort of pattern, but there are some cases where its application is warranted. If anything, it can make the design clearer to your direct reports or to the new hires that get to maintain it.

Work on your ninjitsu then. How can you look like a loser if they never see you?

I teach kids programming, and this won't help. They need simple letters and descriptive variable names. The concept of sticking info in a box to pull from later is hard enough without having variables that don't exist on a keyboard and which aren't descriptive.

If you founded an organisation of trenchcoat programmer samurai I think you would attract many members.


Maybe Emoji would not be as irritating if they had fixed syntax and semantics?

what a faggot

...

I wouldn't worry about that, there are no programmers here.

ed
ed is for EDiting, nothing else matters.

Do you have any proofs to that specific parts?
Even if we assume that's mostly true, what do you think should do those girls who are exceptions to this "rule"?

Your language doesn't have first class functions?

acme

I had a dude say that in a comp sci class a year or so ago, I literally laughed out loud and got some death glares from the mac-wielding hipster fags. Most of the class just looked confused, though, including the teacher.

Maintaining a pre C++11 codebase with a non-standard compiler, so yes.

Lmao, it's actually proven that women are better programmers:
theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/12/women-considered-better-coders-hide-gender-github
Now, I disagree with the article in saying that the fact that they have to hide their gender is indication of sexism or whatever (it's not, it's just that people who bring up their gender are probably SJWs and everyone knows SJWs can't code).
Besides that, programming was a women's job up until recently:
smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/computer-programming-used-to-be-womens-work-718061/?no-ist
They'd often strip naked because the rooms were so hot, so no men were actually allowed in

Trannies don't count.

The majority of women are actual women and transexuals kept there mouths shut and stuck to their actual gender in the times when programming was female dominated. Besides if transsexuals were polluting the pool that much wouldn't we see results much closer to that of the men? Unless you want to say that transexuals are smarter than normal men, which I doubt is the case.

I've attached the study if you want to read over it.

documentation patches don't count.

...

Pages 12-13 of the pdf under "Are women's pull requests more likely to be accepted when contributing code?'

HOLY FUCK

mhm5000.gitbooks.io/swift-cheat-sheet/content/other/emojiunicode_support.html

ITS TRUE

kill yourself.

Perl 6 does unicode variable names too but guess what

UNICODE HAS A STANDARD FOR VALID IDENTIFIER CHARACTERS GUESS WHICH OF THESE TWO DOESN'T FOLLOW IT

To be fair javascript can be used on the back-end and does very decent in real-time applications

so can a lot of better languages

I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt by facts, please go back to your safe space

Who cares? None of unicode's business to have such a standard. What ridiculous overreach.

GG

Like I said, I'm ignoring the 'sexism' part of the study, because it's retarded.

...

Go program yourself back to the kitchen sweetheart.

We allow woman to program, we give them washing machines.

Having no standards is exactly how U+26A3 DOUBLED MALE SIGN is allowed as a variable name in Swift.

That character looks like a penis in some fonts lol.

Female programmers didn't use to be a red flag. The problem is that there are now tons of hipsters and other fuckers who don't actually care about programming, trying to get into programming. Since women are the easiest "diversity" hire there's an overabundance of under-qualified women now.

It's sad because now everyone looks at women skeptically, when previously you knew if a woman was into programming she probably knew her shit.

Like the wage gap meme, this is a libtard half truth. What actually happened was engineers would design, prove, and hand write code, and pass it on to mostly female programmers to program into the computers of the day.

What's wrong with using your language's IDE?

...

Dennis Ritchie wasn't a bitch.

Nigger, does the top of this page say "Holla Forums" on your screen? Fuck off.

I think Go was shilling the fact that it can have unicode variable names as well.

Citation?

...

...

I'm a 56 year old man, and I've been a (working) software engineer since I was 23 years old, throughout my entire early career, I've only worked with men and maybe like 2 or 3 women, but starting in the late 90s and beyond, the count of women did increase rapidly, and very soon after we had diversity and all the corruption it brings. The women are consistently outperformed by the men, and consistently make more mistakes, but of course, they have a higher limit of tolerance because "the team needs to consist equally of both genders and of all races"


The Guardian is known to be a media outlet filled with women, and especially left-minded women, it constantly churns out click-bait articles and is playing the game of subversion and demoralization every day (hopefully you know what that is), it is generally considered a terrible idea to cite anything they say as fact, as media should NOT be considered as anything BUT entertainment.

That article is just a classic attempt at misinformation, if they manage to change what really happened in the past in the minds of today's millennials, who are too young to know any better, then they have effectively pushed their (false) equality agenda, and they have made more and more people that would believe in that lie as strong as many today believe in the Holyhoax. I know it will happen, you know it will happen, in the future, saying the truth that women were not designed to do logic work would be a great social stigma, just like saying the Holyhoax never happened is today.

The truth is, women are designed 100% around bearing children. They have a chest area that is always enlarged (boobs) unlike other animals where it is only enlarged if it's pregnant/breastfeeding, they have thinner, weaker bones, their minds are extremely susceptible to emotional arguments and they are biologically compulsed to always go "o mah gawddd" over any baby they see, because that's their evolutionary purpose, they are supposed to find children attractive. They also have their period, which is an unimaginably huge disadvantage when considering survival in the wild, which also makes them very inefficient employees. With all that in mind, how can you say that women are better at logical tasks than men? It is a logical fallacy.

Please, anyone with 2 neurons to rub together knows that's a dumb, baseless lie.

Same for rape allegations

The metal Katanas are made out of is so shitty you need training to keep from breaking the sword when you use it. Then again, if we are just getting it to feel cool then that doesn't matter.

You are an idiot. Katanas can be made from any metal other swords are made of. Katanas are meant to be tough and to bend rather than shatter. fucking dumbass...

If the steel is authentic Japanese it can be up to 100-500x stronger than a traditional blade. But it mostly depends on the folding. 100k-1 million folds is ideal for maximum strength and shatter resistance.

get a car spring and forge a blade out of that.

trust me it's many times better than a katana made by japs' jewel steel

Study > Anecdotal evidence

Any biases The Guardian may or may not have doesn't change the study. Read the actual study (I've put the PDF here) and find a definitive flaw in it.


I didn't I said 'women are better programmers', not 'women are better logicians'.

Nice red herring fallacy. For all you know the type of logic required for the rearing of children could be repurposed for programming.

Any chick who writes competent code in the enterprise gets promoted upstairs ASAP for diversity's sake. The ones who don't advance are incompetent.

In the last five years this trend has been replaced with chicks who can't write code and never intend to try being hired directly into HR-creep positions.

Please don't start.

I already have.

If you think this is why people don't like XML, you probably haven't dealt with XML.


Or perhaps, just perhaps, it was just dumb shit that pandered to normies enough to keep them using your product over competitors.


How can an advertising campaign be so wrong on so many levels?
I want off Mr Bones' wild ride.


(You)
An absolutely insane conclusion from a poorly thought out study. Very clear that both were motivated by personal politics rather than an attempt to actually study the gender ratio of programmers.


Since when did programming not require sound logic? It's probably the most important thing for being able to write worthwhile software.

That's what Nepalese jungle-fuckers use to make their neck-fuckers.

ODing on the pills a bit, matey potatey.

Is it safe to assume that a woman friend of mine who went to comp sci college and held a programming job for 2 years knows jack shit about programming? She is beautiful and a woman, and I think that maybe there's like a 5% chance only that she cares about programming.

I think that I know more about programming even as a drop out just from programming little projects on my own for like 8 months. Holla Forums, how many beautiful women that have programming jobs can actually program? Ever seen one? I think for a woman to be better in programming even in comparison to a man who's been doing it for half a year, she either must be indian/chinese, or very ugly. And even then there's a slim chance.

I'm beginning to think women can't do shit besides math when it comes to logic.

Child-rearing heuristics aren't a type of logic.

...

Even a woman programmer agrees that men are better at it.

blog.c0d3rgirl.com/2012/03/boys-are-better-programmers.html

Roughly zero.

...

uh

Read more than the title you retarded faggot.

The motivation is irrelevant. Prove it wrong.

Because saying 'women are better logicians' would imply that they are better at logic in general, which isn't what I'm arguing, I'm arguing that they're better at the particular type of logic required to be a programmer.

Feminists care enough to argue. Nobody here is willing to put the work in. It means nothing to me if women are more or less likely to produce accepted github patches. I have never met a female programmer worth my respect, and certainly none I would apprentice myself to, and speak of as one of the greats. But if I did ever meet such a person, I wouldn't care that she were female except for breeding purposes.

Boner flags for programmers you meet

In america, "liberal" does not refer to classical liberalism; that is an archaic usage of the word. liberal=progressive=left

Sounds more like a codemonkey. Real programmers don't experience monotony as they're working on the leading edge of interesting problems.
I do Plated, though

Pick one.

There are a couple good programmers here. I'm one of them.

You know logistics is shipping right?

also sage for obvious bait.

...

...

There are so many flaws with this study it isn't even funny, but if you want the final blow to this study you can find it in figure 3. Compare the number of pull requests made by females compared to the number made by males. The reason that Women seemingly get a higher acceptance rate is because they make a metric fuckton of pull requests compared to men.

Now in the study's defense, it does try to address this, however I can tell many people in the study are not programers because they fail to understand the importance of this. Making massive numbers of pull requests is a pretty good sign of re-writing code to fix glitches after it has been initially pushed. More code pushed makes more code to fix. More code to fix makes more code to push.

In my mind the "perfect" contributor is a person who only pushes 2-3 new stable things a week. I want quality, not quantity.

Oh and just to make this better, this

Right.

you do realize that males in any species only exist, for making sperm so the breeding females aren't just cloning themselves.

more like Study = Anecdotal evidence

This, I see so many topology inept losers copy Raycasting code and claim to be the next John Carmack.

I wonder exactly how they came up with that conclusion.


See:
for a substantial part of overall success, are skewing the results.

Results:

74.1% vs. 78%

The researchers may have also concluded that the difference was incredibly significant by refusing to adjust for different population sizes. I haven't thoroughly reviewed the data or calculations, and I'm extremely tired. I'll try to link to a mathematical explanation of why my conclusion here is right or wrong. I'm only embarrassing myself by playing with the numbers at this point. If that's what happened, they could be quartered and drawn, figuratively, for lying about their research.

itt they p-hacked their x^2 tests to show that the difference was significant

They go on:

1. Women’s pull requests are less likely to serve an documented project need.

4. Women’s changes are larger.

We might extrapolate that women therefore contribute fewer elegant solutions.

5. Women’s acceptance rates are higher for some programming languages


Also,

on average? One explanation is survivorship bias: as women continue their formal and informal
education in computer science, the less competent ones may change fields or otherwise drop
out. Then, only more competent women remain by the time they begin to contribute to open
source. In contrast, less competent men may continue.

They also said this:

Byrnes’ meta-analysis of risk-taking studies, which generally find women are more risk-averse
than men [7]. However, this theory is not consistent with observation 4, because women tend
to change more lines of code, and changing more lines of code correlates with an increased risk
of introducing bugs [21].

These women were the prototype code monkeys. They weren't John von Neumann.

How do you meet programmers?
I never met anyone outside of college who programs and the people from college are all terrible at "programming".

Get a job. Any technical job where you can see yourself naturally programming a bit, just for your own sake.

Your peers are more likely to be programmers.

There are also groups that meet up in cities just to talk about such things, like Perl Mongers.

Here are some actual red flags for programmers, rather than just another "bitching about libtards and SJWs" post.


All of these are real people, all of them have university degrees, and all of them are in the workforce.

TP is for people that plan on leaving the toilet

Toilets are for people who plan on leaving the bathtub

It has some uses, yes. Compared to the other major scripting languages available, it is one of the better choices. It's still mediocre at best.

It suffers from GIL, over reliance on built-ins, intentionally gimped functional programming facilities, retarded scoping rules, a hacky toolset, and the 2/3 schism caused by Guido trying to fix some of his worst initial design decisions.
