People with agendas making aggressive comments on barely related subjects to incite arguments which accomplish nothing are precisely what is wrong with todays online discussion.
How do you figure? Reading source code is incredible helpful for understanding how to program properly. Watching somebody step through their code and solve each problem in real time would be absolutely fantastic for understanding problems and organising solutions. Also what's wrong with code as a verb for programming?
Holy shit, I admire that guy so much. Being able to program whilst lacking sight astounds me. I wonder how he got into it.
Becoming blind is one of my biggest fears and I consider programming to be one of my favourite activities on the planet, I'm happy that if the worst were to ever happen to me, I wouldn't be completely screwed. However I gotta wonder how well he's able to hold all his code in his head just off hearing it, whenever I program I often go back and read and re-read parts I've already written, I imagine having to hear it over just glancing over it would slow the whole process down a lot. I know he mentioned that he's gotten very good at mentally conceptualising his code which no doubt takes a lot of training but damn, a really large codebase would throw me for a tizz.
Well I mean it kind of is. C's my favorite language but it's like a machete, simple enough, fairly easy to use and useful in a lot of places but if you don't know how to use it properly it's very easy to cut yourself with.
A lot of people consider nuclear annihilation a big threat but I'm not too worried about tbh. I mean if you think about it, every major player has got a trigger to end all life at any given point, doesn't it seem reasonable that at some point you invest a lot of money into systems that can safeguard and prevent this type of catastrophe. I know a lot of people may consider the governments dangerous and selfish but they aren't stupid, major players have definitely got systems in place to neutralise these threats.
Why are people getting downvoted for saying coq is not exactly a great name. It's not, no matter it's definition it sounds like cock, not a great name to advertise the language.
I mean if someone created a programming language called vagina, labia, penis or sphincter it would be ridiculed, cause it's not an appropriate name for a language.
