Started a friendship with a classmate, he was bit of a know-it-all, we were discussing some esoteric stuff and he laid out his theory I said “ah that’s BS”, and gave my reasons. Then he got very uptight and ended our friendship there and then, and escorted me out of his apartment.

Very strange experience.

Edit: It’s one of those cases you recall and think “Was it me that were the stupid one there?”

RIP friendship 😔

Or they couldn’t agree if almonds or pistachios were the best nut.

I have done several D2 playthroughs, but end up stopping part way through the barbarian tundra chapter, it’s somewhat boring.

Now I listen to Diablo 2 soundtrack, when I miss the game, especially the wilderness music, it slaps!

I for one, salute their life long war against weed one blunt at a time.

I prefer the multi thread problems that can be solved using queues.

Speaking of the 80s I got a C64 and a friend let me copy a few 90 minute tapes with a bunch of games.

Wow multi-terabyte in minutes! There are not many ISPs delivering 100Gbps and even fewer are delivering 1000Gbps.

Unless you live on top of a data center.

Rational Rose etc. could generate code from UML diagrams, then you “only” needed architects.

In reality it only gave a little help during the design phase, as soon as someone touches the generated code, you have to manually merge changes to UML.

Cauldron 2 for C64 you start playing and find out you have no clue how to progress the game.

Toiling in the meme mines.

Edit: I have just finished reading The Neverending Story and this reminds me of the last part where Bastian works in the picture mines until he finds the right picture.

And 42 seconds in jython.

You have reached the pinnacle of Linux, every other distro you try from now on will seem bland. 🧗🏼

Yeah, I guess the convicted felon is destined to expire on his golden throne while trying to push out a Big Mac.

In grade 5-6 we had a course on typing, it was boring so instead I played NIBBLES.BAS and GORILLA.BAS started modifying the Basic code to give me more lives.

Some time later I got hold of Visual Basic 3.0 and made some small programs, after that I was told that the cool kids were programming in C++ so i got hold of Borland C++ Builder 1.0 and played with it.

The latest language I learned was Python, this was when Oracle brought Sun (2009) I was fond of Java but wanted a language that was not in the clutches of a corporation, and Python was already on the rise back in 2009.

I think starting with Python is a good idea, when you get better at the language you can then add more languages like C/C++ or whatever you feel for, because when you know one programming language its easier to learn another one.

That’s easy you just use the huge number of test cases to ensure against introducing new bugs.

I was looking into learning COBOL some years ago, because i found that verbosity interesting.

And it seemed like there’s not many libs and toolboxes out there, compared to the major languages that has libs for everything, so I couldn’t really use it for small projects.

If so, it was a lucky guess.
