I’ve wondered why programming languages don’t include accurate fractions as part of their standard utils. I don’t mind calling dc, but I wish I didn’t need to write a bash script to pipe the output of dc into my program.

Is that the Stanley cup in the first image?

Just how do we define our metric for best Unix? Cuz it certainly isn’t freedom if Apples winning any awards.

not really, imo. its more like a sequenced list of pointers to various instruction sets.

can you really call python programming though? The reason why python is so quick to write is because its so-called libraries are pre-compiled C programs. so you’re not writing new programs, you’re scripting existing ones.

you ever get the feeling that programming has gotten way too overbloated? that good old fashioned engineering has been buried under miles of industry standards, best practices, enterprise services, business methodologies, and managers trying to justify their paychecks?

feels like a giant bubble way too overdue for a needle.

I’m still curious what the reason is, even if its clown logic.

Why is writing code by hand out of the question?
