I have recently started to slowly adopt a number of Sup Forums memes, and, quite frankly, doing so has made my tech experience better than it ever has been before.
> Learn C > Way comfier than C++, code is slightly more verbose but way easier to understand because it's not nearly as bloated > Now ready to learn kernel programming which I've wanted to do for a long time
> Install gentoo > Learn way more about Linux than I ever thought I'd know > Computer boots in seven seconds because everything is compiled exactly as I need it and there's no unnecessary shit to load
> Use IceCat > Kind of a pain in the ass sometimes > But freedom and a cool cat logo are worth it
> Emacs > all the nice features of a full-blown editor with none of the bloat > elisp is c o m f y compared to shitty vimscript trash > write 10x more code these days because of how nice Emacs is
> ThinkPad > My first Sup Forums meme > Cheapest laptop I've ever bought and yet still out-specs everything else I've had > Durable and nice keyboard
windows C# visual studio plebs will never be this comfy
Christopher Rodriguez
>Cool cat logo
Brayden Kelly
Emacs is bloat incarnate.
Aaron Moore
I think you can also boot other distros in seconds, its the power of systemd.
But gentoo has been nice in terms of long term maintainability.
Adrian Stewart
> Now ready to learn kernel programming which I've wanted to do for a long time fucking lmao
Carson Barnes
Atom has it beat by a processing power factor of like 100 and it doesn't even act as operating system with a desktop.
Ethan Sanchez
systemd
Christopher Taylor
>Computer boots in seven seconds Sure it does
Kayden Gray
fellow comfy here. Can confirm for comfy
Gavin Clark
my nigga you don't know bloat until you use Visual Studio (tm) Enterprise (tm) "Special Features (crutches) So Our Retarded SJWs Can Actually Program" Editon that uses 500MB on startup.
Carter Long
nobody wants that lennartware garbage
nice my man
nice SSD + light kernel that I've configured by hand = yes it does
Oliver James
>C >Gentoo/SMGL >IceCat >Emacs/vim >Thinkpad I am leaning to this too OP, they are indeed the right tools for the job.
Angel Brown
I can run it on a netbook from 2008 with no issues, it's like a sport bike compared to the cargo ship that is modern IDEs
Isaac Gonzalez
May I ask you to compare XPS's to similar Thinkpads at about the same price? I love XPS's portability, and all of the thin and light thinkpads I saw were more expensive than the Dell laptop.
Jonathan Stewart
I didn't really optimize anything and still have 9.2 seconds boot time with systemd-analyze with a really relatively shitty AM1 5350 and while doing semi-superfluous things like running shorewall, udisks2 and lvm2 as part of that boot.
Blake Flores
> SMGL When is *that* ever the right tool?
Benjamin Perry
Dedicated servers and one job laptops, if you catch my drift
Justin Price
You made a mistake. You will forever be a brainlet by choosing to learn C instead of the superior language C++.
Bentley James
>Arch Linux >100GB SSD >Systemd >2.6s boot time C o m f y
Jason Bell
>he took the memes seriously you're supposed to do the opposite of what g says
Ian Roberts
Icy cool
Josiah Smith
Having never used one, I can't give you a decent answer. They seem to have decent screens but it doesn't look like the build quality is quite on-par with ThinkPads.
hard to believe considering GRUB takes about two seconds to load itself
Wyatt Morgan
I've never met a compentant programmer in my life that says one language is above all others. Different languages for different functions.
Tyler Reyes
>> Way comfier than C++, code is slightly more verbose but way easier to understand because it's not nearly as bloated
are people literally this fucking retarded ? this has to be a meme. C has advantages over C++ but that is 100% not one of them.
Isaiah Russell
systemd is for gaywads and faggots
Hudson Ross
i think he is referring to all of the faggy plugins C+ cucks rely on to pretend they are competent programmers
Ayden Green
if you're reinventing the wheel, you're not even a competent human to be honest
Cameron Barnes
Not even OP
Easton Torres
acme > emacs
Gavin Cox
It's time to transcend and learn haskell
Josiah Allen
>not using kernel as bootloader get with times grandpa
Nolan Ward
How?
Daniel Mitchell
>I've never met a compentant programmer in my life FTFY
Nathaniel Myers
>got memed into programming >got memed into thinkpad >got memed into linux Wow thanks now i have 3 things i like a lot Most recently though (lisp) is my new interest
Carter Moore
Retard
Henry Long
>buying new ThinkPads user...
Landon Gonzalez
OP fell for the right memes.
Henry Cruz
I've also fallen for those Sup Forums memes. I'd also add >SICP Lived up to the hype. Great book and it got me hooked on Scheme and eventually Common Lisp.
Hudson Myers
I wanted to post that
here...
Levi Lewis
that's why you use vim, fuck off with your lesser-evilism
Andrew Bell
Haha got me :^)
Parker Jones
It's like you don't want magic in your life. Are you that boring?
Alexander Hughes
>all the nice features of a full-blown editor with none of the bloat kek Games and "medic" is an important part of my computing life within a text editor (OS).
Jack Brown
Legacy bios can't but that new crap can do load kernel binary image directly. Uefi? Always forgot its crappy name.
Jason Sullivan
I too, enjoy all these memes.
Julian Morales
Any recommendations on how to grok emacs?
Robert Long
windows can do that
William Scott
It's lighter than vim
Aiden Hernandez
>you're supposed to do the opposite of what g says Unironically this
Juan Ortiz
Lies.
Henry Thompson
EFISTUB
Levi Mitchell
I wish I could dive into C programming or programming at all.
>not being a NEET >already have a non-IT career >too old to get back to school >feels bad man
Zachary Rogers
It actually is, though.
Austin Jackson
Never too late to get back to school. Unless you had children, in which case, that's your fault user.
Juan Green
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Bentley Martinez
lisp is still the best programming language and environment i've ever used. Been programming for around a decade now.
Just pick up a book, user. Its not hard. Get off this shithole, install emacs, and just start typing.
Not OP, but I'd start with its builtin tutor. At first, its kinda clunky and slow, and you're going to mod the fuck out of it, but just try to keep it vanilla for a while.
Easton Roberts
They're about the same sized core in C. Emacs just has a bajillion lines of elisp on top of it.
Blake Turner
They're memes because they have a hint of truth to them. Kinda like ED is the standard editor. Which it is. And desu, i think in an ideal world, ED would still be used, maybe in a different way. TECO is comfy too.
Brody Foster
Does Sup Forums insert desu? Because i did not type desu.
Parker Edwards
Whomever gives away his critical thinking in the service of memes will lose both and deserves neither. - CIA
Parker Butler
Say what you want, Gentoo is by far one of the best distros I have ever used. Emacs is the best environment (i wouldn't say editor, though). C is a delicious language.
Henry Torres
Same setup >tfw POST takes the majority of boot time
Ayden Lee
Actually the client is lighter than vim if you start an emacs Darmon. But vim keybindings are juste so much comfier than emacs. But Lisp is comfy
Benjamin Jackson
> using GRUB
Jayden Kelly
you do know about an existence of evil-mode for Emacs? Still, I guess I'll never understand the beauty of modal editing. I mean, it's like using CapsLock instead of Shift every time you want to type a capital letter.
Jaxson Jones
I tried but it felt like I had to learn emacs first. I hate using something when I don't know how it works. I would like to learn emacs but i'm so well with vim ATM. And i'm doing network GTA/embedded so.. vim is useful :)
Jaxson Wright
that's not because they don't believe it, it's just because they're not autistic enough to give a shit. In the embedded / llsm C is used exclusively by folks, including for webserver tasks, but you would never find someone griping about "how shit" javascript is.
most programmers don't represent the child's omnipotential ideal of someone who flows in and out and can do most tasks, they are like mechanics who are pretty good at one technical skill that is not some sort of universal to them. it's not true of the public-facing part of "tech" but it's true of the vast majority of actual development
Evan Adams
Casio f-91w is an example of a bad Sup Forums meme. These waches are a complete shit. They aren't ergonomical, the light is useless and they lack some useful features like a timer.
Lucas Walker
>i'm doing network GTA/embedded so.. vim is useful :) Why?
Julian Martin
>not getting the McFly/Heisenberg calculator one Pleb.
Mason Smith
>IceCat a pain the ass Bruh...
Jason Collins
Lot of ssh ànd Vi/VIM are installed by défaut. It's easier to modify conf files. And I learned so I like it as my day to day editor
Jeremiah Wood
>changelog: comment your code using emojis :-)
This is the future we chose lads.
Jaxon Ward
are you me?
Jose Jenkins
These aren't Sup Forums memes anymore OP The 2017 Sup Forums memes are shilling AMD/Intel while sucking Bill Gates' cock on a speccy thread shilling how (((comfy))) VisualStudio code is even though you've never written more than a hello world program in your life.
Also complaining that you need to do muh math in a Computer Science degree
Joshua Diaz
Stop getting memed
Robert Perez
>tfw I used Arch and had a mechanical keyboard before going to Sup Forums for the first time
Also, ThinkPads are great. I bought a T420 and I think it's great. Now I wish my mechanical keyboard had a trackpoint.
Dylan Collins
>vim is useful Emacs has TRAMP. You can edit files over ssh with it, and you don't have to rely on whatever you have on the remote machine to edit. Also, since you're doing it locally you don't get all of that input lag.
Chase Long
As a slackware user i hardly see any reason to use gentoo
Connor Fisher
Newfag get out
Lucas Moore
How do I make emacs autoload a project after I quit the program with the project still open? Having to C-x C-f the file path every time I start it up, open new buffers for other files, and sometimes open another buffer to load the emacs shell is annoying
Jace Gray
Gentoo is openrc by default though?
Nathan Powell
Thin and light is a shit meme user Go thick or go home
Plus if you're picking up a new thinkpad T470(standard or P) or X270 is best
Nolan Martin
both systemd and openrc are fully supported but i *think* most gentoo users prefer openrc
Bentley Reyes
user literally Google "the programming language" The book is literally on github Start reading
Owen Walker
> made my tech experience better than it ever has been before > Use IceCat > Kind of a pain in the ass sometimes > But freedom and a cool cat logo are worth it Yeeeeaaah, sure.
Nicholas Foster
i used to have archlinux booting from a raid array, it still took about 5 seconds to boot. most of that was just grub
Camden Foster
Why use emacs when vim is lighter and faster with an arguably superior editing mode? What reasons do people have for using emacs over vim?
Ethan Wright
>Sup Forums was right of course we were
Cameron Wilson
>write 10x more code these days because of how nice Emacs is Unfortunately you are still 3x less productive due to writing in C.
Blake Adams
More education is more valuable than kids to take care of you in your old age? Dumb as fuck nihilism tbhfamily. Look forward to being abused in your golden years.
Chase Brooks
500mb? i fucking wish lad
Juan Wilson
Pick an idea for a tool you want to code, nothing fancy, idk just pick some random algorithms for starters. Install any *nix system. Choose a decent editor (basically vim or emacs). Get C Programming Language Book. Start hacking away.
Ethan Barnes
Next you just need your programming socks and skirt
Dylan Russell
As soon as you mention emacs in a positive way, everything you say is invalidated by the fact that you're a retard.
Connor Lopez
>use emacs on mac OS >try to M-x gnus, it crashes >reinstall everything with brew cask >emacs in my applications folder goes from 18MB to more than 100MB >gnus still makes it crash What is this?
Aiden Gutierrez
show me where emacs touched you, user.
Jace White
>windows C# visual studio plebs will never be this comfy Yes, being NEET is pretty comfy. .NET developers will never know this feel ;)
Wyatt Ramirez
Disregard this shit advice: 1. Use whatever OS you like, that includes Windows. In that case, install Visual Studio, it's free. C is a portable language. For macOS, get Xcode. For Linux/BSD, use gcc or clang. 2. Get any editor your want, one you're comfortable with. 3. Get C Programming Language Book. 4. Start "hacking" away, or as us adults call it, start programming.
Christian Adams
Same here, to be honest every Sup Forums meme I have adopted has been a huge improvment in my life: >Casio 91W >use it daily >bought it 6€ >15 years warranty >date, time, stopwatch, alarm >litterally perfect
>Thinkpad X41 >35€ >Best keyboard I have ever used on a laptop > Comfy 4:3 >bought it used 4 years ago, use it daily, still looks and feels brand new
>The C programming language book >Absolutely amazing book >You actually learn the hard way and know a ton of stuff afterwards
>Structure and interpretation of computer programs >Awesome book! Just awesome!
>Chink Shit >Bought a pokemon bootleg cartridge for 5€ >bought a chink famicom for 20€ >bought nazi hat for 20€ >bought japanese ww2 imperial hat for 15€
>Gentoo >Most feel good distro ever existing >I still stick to Debian nonetheless
>Sony MDR7506 >99€ >Just PERFECT headset >cry everytiem I listen to my David bowie FLACs like a true audiophag.
>Microsoft intellimouse explorer >Best mouse I have ever used
>Vim >Best editor I have ever used
>O'REILLY books >Bewt book serie I have ever read
THANK YOU Sup Forums FOR ALL YOUR SHILLING! LOVE YOU GUYS! :)
