cloe doesnt automatically make use of something like lm-2s programmable display for optimizations its useless for something like doom even if it compiles to macrocode
almost a can it run crysis i statement

10 2024-05-30 21:48 *

dont forget >>5-san said scheme even with a compiler written in mlisp its a compiler written in mlisp not scheme the nonargument stops there
i used a lisp cpu as a example right before 286s since scheme processors and their hardware are modeled after lisp machines

My opinion: lazy direct translation, instead of building a custom engine. Author haven't even bothered to convert the graphics into EGA, doing the on fly translation. And EGA was important, since most VGA cards appeared late and required i386 to run their bioses.

12 2024-05-30 23:51 *

>>11
good and fair opinion except the custom engine part but this is rather a philosophical question of what a doom port is and what a custom engine for a doom port is
my opinion is most meme doom ports are fundamentally broken like this without looking xd but this one is rather honest about alot of faults
then theres this site where the quality of programs to not get shit on should be not only what the operator would want (hairsplitting fps gamers about their fps in current times) but beyond that (theres no simple comparison here)

13 2024-05-31 00:01 *

its much different from "can it run doom" here
a "wince smart calculator" "can run" crysis i but a "muslim mlg gamer" will dishonour off you you for suggesting serve gamer haram
you can think of it like this it runs (ceethe) it works to the target operators specification given proper hardware for the task (lipth) its near perfect (scheme)
im sure to fund a scheme machine and get it out there its going need something flashy for l*teral redd*tors corporate hackernews paypigs like a doom port written in optimal nearly purely functional scheme for it but eh youre too sane for me to go on about this and im no longer drunk

Help installing SchemeBBS

1 2024-05-25 23:32

i'm finally turning my shitty imageboard into a superior textboard, but i'm really retarded and can't figure out this issue. i install the MIT Scheme patch, but whenever I run make it outputs an error 2 towards what i think is the end. i'm not sure if this is because of it (probably) but whenever i try to ./init 8080 this pops up:

;Value: retry-post-form

1 ]=> (listen server (string->number (car (command-line))))
;The object #f, passed as an argument to string-length, is not the correct type.

pls help thank u

2 2024-05-25 23:33

i really want to use schemebbs, but i'm also considering using other scripts, but also i feel like that is somehow more trouble. plus i love scheme

3 2024-05-26 00:55

Isn't the car of (command-line) the program name? (or in this case, apparently #f)

4 2024-05-26 05:57

You need the server port number as a command argument.

5 2024-05-26 11:04

Check this thread: https://textboard.org/prog/327

The devs had an idea and implemented it. Fortunately they had the common sense and humility to put it in their own distribution unlike freedesktop.org and poetteringware which demand everybody adopt their garbage ideas and do free testing.

US goyvernment will force you to write Rust

1 2024-05-23 12:40

https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/us-plans-software-security-burden/

Because normgroids are too dumb to write good C99 code, everything have to be dumbed down to accommodate their mental handicaps.

But the difference is, Ada is not a bondage and submunition language, and it was never forced on you by the US government.

12 2024-05-24 07:34

Tell me how I know you never worked in the US military without telling me!

13 2024-05-24 07:44

There are countless instances in history about security exploits that come from faulty programming in C or any given language. Rust simply makes it more productive for programmers so that numerous classes of faulty programming are easily caught at compile time.

14 2024-05-24 13:05

it's not the dos days anymore when everyone was already forced to use the command line so the additional indignity of having to sift through a mountain of COMs and BATs and BINs and whatever other accessories that you must not touch or everything will break before you finally find the file that makes the program go could be tolerated, today the people want nice and tidy singular executables with fancy icons so they can easily be recognised for what they are, anything less will be harshly criticised as unprofessional

RISC OS had packages and nice UI long before Windows 3.1.
It also had FLAT 32bit addressing model.

Even the OS kernel itself was a !Boot package, which user double-clicked to configure it.

What shell do you use?

1 2021-10-12 12:07

I am thinking of using Dash because it is less bloated than other shells in the Bourne shell family (e.g. Bash and zsh).

235

36 2024-04-24 15:22

at the moment csh since it's default on freebsd (which i'm daily driving right now), bash usually on linux, though i'm also using csh on slackware.

37 2024-05-21 06:35

>>36
How does csh compare to ksh or bash? I have only heard that it shouldn't be used for scripting: https://harmful.cat-v.org/software/csh

I have also heard other bad things about it: https://www.grymoire.com/unix/CshTop10.txt
Maybe tcsh has fixed some of these problems?

38 2024-05-21 07:54

Right now it's zsh for interactive use and whatever /bin/sh happens to point to for scripting. Only feature zsh has that I actually use and no other shell has is the rc_quotes options, helps when writing commit messages inline so you can type "it''s" instead of "it'\''s". I actually used rc as a login shell for a little while and it works pretty good except for retarded programs like vim using shell syntax to do shit like redirection (lol) and lacking job control which I don't use much anyway, tmux does the "run multiple programs and switch between them" thing easily and better.

39 2024-05-21 22:12

I just switched to ZSH after using Bash for around 2 years. I've also messed with fish, but I see a lot of people shit on it because it was written in Rust, which is fair.

40 2024-05-22 15:43 *

I'm testing out zsh right now, but it's retarded that you need to add all this garbage to your .zshrc file to get normal keybindings to work https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zsh#Key_bindings
For what possible reason would home/end not be bound by default...

can you actually make money writing code?

1 2024-05-19 08:12

it just doesn't seem possible

2 2024-05-19 10:15

You can make just enough to survive yeah.

The real big money is in marketting a shitty product and making paypig users pay for basic features.

3 2024-05-21 16:14

Yes. For details, see Exercise 2.70 in SICP.

4 2024-05-21 22:09

Yes, but no. But sometimes yes. but mostly no. But sometimes yes! (sometimes)

How do we stop FOSS programmers?

1 2024-05-09 01:35

Does history have any precedents we could learn from of vast numbers of the members of a profession inexplicably insisting on working for free, devastating the opportunities for profit of those remaining? Should we go to their conventions and smash all their laptops like union workers barring the gates of a factory to stop anyone else working while they're on strike? Maybe lynch them wherever we find them like medieval guild members when they found someone charging less than the agreed on rate for their services? We have to do something I need to EAT for god's sake

All serious free software projects are funded by developers of proprietary software. The only people who give a shit about free software are other developers. If you're writing a library, development tools, or anything similar targeted at developers it makes sense to release it under a free license. Otherwise, you are just kneecapping yourself and ensuring that you will never make a meaningful living without working for the man.

10 2024-05-13 09:59 *

I make a living by writing and selling free software.

11 2024-05-13 17:20

just don't release your free software under a cuck license

12 2024-05-19 20:07

I've come around to the idea of a middle ground between free and proprietary software, non-free but still open source software. E.g. something that allows personal use and modification but not wholesale redistribution. Something like a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license. Seems like a good balance between letting developers profit off their works and allowing users the freedom to use the software how they want.

China's foundation as a society is built on sand and is sinking further as time goes by. China's demographics are projected to plummet in the next few decades just like the rest of the world. Unlike the rest of the world, China's foundation is based upon the wizardary of communism, and they're working hard to conjure communist magic to prop up their future.
