Sure, or being a fed or a facebook/google server farm guy, there's plenty of ways. My point was, the internet does have legitimate private uses. It starts with the "save as draft" option in any blogging app:P And I say never give that up, don't be that jaded/spineless. If an employer is that nosy, then that's the problem, not having posted stuff privately that you wouldn't want them to see. So don't just walk out of the interview, punch them in the face. Live, for once. Haha.
Taken into context, that's just nuts. Your economy is destroyed by the people at the helm of it, and the same goes for the rest. Wake the fuck up already, geez...
And just because I'm calling you out on your bullshit, doesn't mean I think scripting languages are "all you need", wtf. I mean for starters, there's usually a compiler behind it that creates the VM.
I never said that you have to use a compiled language for every single thing
Yet you moan about them, without any context or point...
What an absolutely terrible misunderstanding of the benefits of compiled code
Try to keep up. The person I replied to argued that scripting languages make for lazy programming, and generally acted as if void pointers and casting types were totally unheard of, and as if types changed on the fly out of nowhere, without any connection to what is going on in the program.
You don't just get warnings with compilers, you get errors, which completely block compilation.
ORLY? You don't say. Way to miss the point: If the compilers offers more checks for well formed code, if anything *that* would make people more lazy.
Scripting languages do not give such errors until a user stumbles across them.
Neither do compiled languages, if what you do is technically correct, but still a bug in the context of the app.
Your argument lies on the blatantly false premise that all compilers do is produce warnings and then proceed to produce compiled object anyway.
What? You're just babbling. What argument am I making? I'm simply refuting an argument someone else is making, and I don't see you addressing any of that, you just go on about strawmen and endulge in more of the pitiful ad-hominems. Oh noes, the "real programmers" are speaking... it's just that they're not saying anything.
This basically screams "I've never worked on a large system, or had to take over someone elses code".
Yeah, and? Did I claim otherwise? No, I just called bullshit on bullshit statements. You on the other hand cannot even keep up with a discussion on Slashdot:/ I guess it's the lack of type checking that makes you fail so hard ^^ Bad code is bad code, you can produce unmaintanable code in just about any language you could mention. It's just unmaintanable code where you always know an int is going to be an int, awesome.
Really? So you'd rather wait until a user reports a weird bug that is oh-so-hard-to-duplicate because a type got changed on the fly? Not too smart.
You use "on the fly" as if it meant "nilly willy". But it doesn't. If you trust user input, then that's the problem, not anything downstream from it?? And If you don't blindly trust input, what in the world would make types change in unpredictable ways? Give me one real example where that's actually a problem.
Ever hear of "the right tool for the job?"
Sure, that's why I just told you exactly that... while you seem to be telling me that it's generally preferable to use a compiled language so "types don't get changed on the fly", haha?
Scripting languages encourage sloppy programming - you can always just edit the script and run... and if it works, what the heck, right? After all, it's not like you have any strict type checking because it's just a stupid script. You don't need to declare your variables - it'll create them on the fly - and even change their type without warning you.
That makes no sense -- why would that make the user of a scripting language sloppier? Where is the difference between "I can just compile, if I missed something I'll get warnings" and running the script? Zero. And flexibility in regards to variables and types is only a problem if you lost track of what you're doing to begin with, and in that case I doubt more hand holding by the compiler will help.
If all you know is how to write scripts, you're not a real programmer. Tsk, tsk.
And if you use a compiled language for every single thing, you're incredibly leet, and totally not wasting time.
There are several assumptions (mostly incorrect) in your post: A) that money that is spent on airport bs would otherwise be allocated to "the people out in the cold" B) that there are a large number of people in this country dying of exposure (the number is astonishingly low) C) That those who DO die of exposure could have been saved with more money D) that if the government doesnt become a charity, then it is responsible for their deaths
fucking WOOSH, dude. way too dumb to even bother responding.
Sure. Meanwhile, funneling mountains of money into BS like this, not to mention all the military hardware, ends up leaving more people out in the cold, and effectively killing them, than all terrorist attacks of all history combined, and people who do the real harm get rewarded for it ("too big to jail"). I mean, it's not like people have this inate tendency to be hateful towards freedom and generosity -- it's just that that's all pretty much BS, and for all we know, every single terrorist was trained by the CIA, because that's what's needed to keep people in check and the actual wolves running wild. That surely would make more sense than the hilarious explanation you're offering. Thanks for the chuckle though.
We herd you liek bullshit! So we put 365 days of bullshit into every single year of a millenium of bullshit. This way you can get bullshitted while you get bullshitted:P
As far as I'm concerned, all of this airport security--the cameras, the questions, the screenings, the searches--is just one more way of reducing your liberty and reminding you that they can fuck with you anytime they want. Because that's the way Americans are now. They're willing to trade away a little of their freedom in exchange for the feeling---the illusion---of security.
Aha, the moderator poll is in! Result: An idiot with a button to press is still just an idiot. And I don't see anyone *saying* otherwise, so that's that ^^
"threats against heads of state or law enforcement officials, even if not credible, should always be escalated".
Uhm, what? How's that not just wasting time and money.. or are they really *that* much into sucking up to the authorities? But hey, at least crushed heads and limbs are "okay, as long as no insides are showing" o.O
Surely there are more such thingies, which make it *very* easy to get something moving on the screen. Why bother with anything less, especially with what you proposed, unless you absolutely fucking hate the kid? Not saying you don't have a point -- I started to learn programming by modifying existing stuff, NOT by learning it from scratch. But I totally disagree that Javascript and HTML have to be lame. That's just a clueless statement.

Fair points. On the other hand, soulless, spineless "top-level professionals" are going to be hanged sooner rather than later.
Plan accordingly.

There, all fixed now.
