this is the oldest wc I could find, from version 5 research unix: https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Research-V5-Snapshot-Development/usr/source/s2/wc.c it took some work to get it to compile and not segfault constantly because libc functions on v5 are different than in modern libc but the result is: code:

Shaggar posted:java and c# are the only good programming languages so any good developer is going to pick one of them. this results in a larger ratio of good developers in those languages. if someone says they actually like a p-lang its a great way to tell they don't know what they're doing. shaggar was right quote:the only downside is c# really needs maven. okay, mostly right

core was supposed to be the cross-platform version with all the windows stuff not implemented or replaced with compatibility shims, iirc. then they realized the main framework codebase was a horrible bloated mess so they're taking the salvageable parts and rewriting them for core. there will only be one .net 5.0 and it will have runtimes for C# and F# (no more VB.NET)

tbh I don't really like python but I don't think it's the devil or anything. it just should be used as a scripting language, not as some kind of cure-all for your backend problems. javascript, though, can gently caress itself. it's only decent at being a way to mangle the DOM. backend in javascript should be illegal because this kinda poo poo Wheany posted:i'm so loving salty about working with ember.js where i have no idea if the method i'm calling returns the value or a promise. and also sometimes different fields of an object return promises. is absurd, but completely acceptable to people who believe in the mystical powers of javascript on the backend.

not 100% sure but I think generally First Nations doesn't include Inuit or Métis because they prefer to be identified separately for historical reasons. and yeah that sounds like a pretty realistic origin story. I know that in Nunavut there's Inuktitut syllabic writing on most public signs not entirely unlike how there's french on bilingual signs in Quebec, and wikipedia says they're related to the "canadian aboriginal syllabics". that being said I am also a white dude so I am not an authoritative source; I grew up near the Kwantlen First Nation so my K-12 education had a fair bit of First Nations social studies involved, but that's obviously no substitute for first-party experience

pokeyman posted:wasn't applescript's "natural language" interface translated into many different languages? can't quite figure out how to search for that without getting results about javascript, but iirc you could do the "tell application finder to move all files to trash" in french or german if you wanted yeah, I remember it being that way in the past but I don't know if it still is. probably not enough people using frapplescript by the OS X era to continue extending new stuff to fit it I imagine the parsers required to do things like "get colour of pixel 17 in row 5 of bitmap image in application MacDraw document 2" in half a dozen different languages would get out of hand pretty fast

the most obnoxious part about MMX was that it reused the x87 register stack so if you wanted to use MMX in the middle of code where you were also using the FPU you needed to issue an FSAVE instruction to save the whole FPU state to memory, wait for the FPU to reinitialize to 0, run your MMX code, then issue an FRSTOR afterwards to reload the FPU state this was in some cases a really goddamn annoying delay because worst case you're now waiting on memory latency and transfer time to save the state, then waiting on the time to reset the FPU, and then the potential memory latency and transfer time to read the state back out of memory (which in the MMX era was like, 66 MHz SDR SDRAM I think). fuuuuuck that intel had the good sense to just throw a bunch of new registers in for SSE

Intel spitting out more and more extended versions of AVX was entirely a response to GPGPU becoming the de facto standard for doing massively parallel vector compute. there was no way that AVX on 16 or 24 cores would ever keep up with compute shaders running vector operations on ten thousand cores in parallel, but xeon phi was an objective failure and they didn't have a usable GPU architecture that scaled into discrete cards that can match what Nvidia and AMD put out until literally this year so bolting on more and more registers and widening the SIMD data sizes was their way of trying to stay relevant until they could get Xe-HPC taped out and in the hands of the HPC crowd
