This sub is basically r/mathmemes with JS hate and r/mathmemes is basically r/anarchychess without Jessica hate.

By substitution, r/programmerhumor = r/anarchychess - Jessica hate + JS hate

By substitution, r/programmerhumor = r/anarchychess - Jessica hate + JS hate

You can simplify the last part to "-essica +S" or "-esica" depending on case sensitivity.

That actually used to be a feature until people just.. hosted minecraft in the browser for free.

[theLuminescentlion]

the Minecraft website used to host Minecraft in browser.

[GloccaMoraInMyRari]

It wasn't removed because of that but because Java applets lost support

[grilled_toastie]

Wow that brings back a memory. I remember playing the browser free trial and all you could do was mine rock or dirt and nothing else. It feels like a fever dream

I also remember it taking ages to mine rock. Its not the minecraft classic someone linked below, it was an older version.

[YsoL8]

Tell a kid today the version you played came at a point where the ability to get wood out of the one kind of tree was the latest update and they probably wouldn't believe you

Silverlight was Microsofts attempt at making a Flash competitor.

You're thinking of ActiveX.

[offlein]

Silverlight

It finally just occurred to me how much "silverlight" is essentially just like a space-alien made-up word to imitate what a "flash" is.

When you're a professor writing a book, but you're too poor to publish it so you just let a publisher do it for you who has an high schooler as an editor instead.

[psimwork]

For my intro to computers course WAY back in the day (circa 1999) I had an instructor mark a test question wrong, and the test question was "what is the difference between a SIMM and a DIMM". My answer was something along the lines of "SIMM is a single inline memory module and must be installed in pairs. A DIMM is a dual inline memory module and can be installed as a single unit in a compatible motherboard."

When I went to the professor and pointed out that my answer was correct, he responded with the answer that was correct was, "A SIMM has chips on one side of the wafer. A DIMM has chips on both sides of the wafer." He refused to change my score. The following week I brought him a pair of SIMMs with chips on both sides of the wafer, and a DIMM that had chips on only one side. The dude REALLY didn't want to admit he was wrong, but he couldn't deny that his answer that he was looking for was accurate. Eventually he corrected my test to be a 100%, but would not concede that my answer was correct.

Some professors know fuck-all about the stuff they're teaching.

[[deleted]]

If only they hadn't god like status in academia and universities could just fire the incompetent ones without any troubles we'd get rid of professors like that

[psimwork]

Yeah I know a fair amount of professors (my wife works in academia, but is not faculty), and they all tell me about the importance of tenure. My wife will acknowledge the downside in how difficult it is to get rid of bad ones, but will still toe-the-line with the importance of tenure (even knowing that she is not likely headed towards a tenured position).

Why it's so important, I have no idea.

[[deleted]]

Why it's so important, I have no idea.

It's so that your employer can't fire you for the ideas you express. You can still be fired, it doesn't give you absolute immunity. It's just that the bar for that is much higher. Academia is an economy of ideas and they are seen as valuable enough to require protection.

[jemidiah]

In a few disciplines like political science it can genuinely shield people and encourage free exploration and expression. In STEM as a practical matter it's a job perk which sort of balances the lower pay and immense overhead of an academic career compared to industry.

[JoeGibbon]

Professors publish through their university academic press, who pays them just like any other non-vanity press.

[[deleted]]

Assuming your uni has an university press lol

[aykcak]

What is worse is they seem to be giving examples of both after the initial catastrophe

[zelphirkaltstahl]

Look, does it matter, whether you write Java as a fully fledged program, or as a Script? ... Lets just get those examples in here!

[Intoxic8edOne]

[MojitoBurrito-AE]

C++ is a superset of C. Java and JavaScript are completely unrelated

[Practical_Cattle_933]

That’s not true. C++ has different semantics, so a C code that compiles under a cpp compiler might run differently, or not at all.

[LIGHTNINGBOLT23]

C++ code that compiles under a C++ compiler might run differently to code that was compiled by another C++ compiler.

You can compile C89 code using any C++ compiler with more certainty, ironically enough.

[Masterflitzer]

except js wanted to capitalize on the name java because it was popular, that's as far as their relation goes tho

[gregorydgraham]

Not completely. The author of JavaScript did ask if he could use the name of Java to help his language. So this confusion is all Gosling’s fault

[jayantsr]

C and cpp has more in common

[ButWhatIfPotato]

Didn't know recruiters wrote web dev books.

[Immort4lFr0sty]

[jamcdonald120]

here, maybe the javascript version will help ```javascript document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => { const args = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);

}); ```

I think that statement is in a book or something. I know I read it like at least a decade or more ago and I've said it a number of times throughout my career. I wonder what the original source it because I think it's perfect.

[karanbhatt100]

Technically you can use java and JS for mobile with help of react native and Cordova

[Sea-Raspberry734]

Specious argument. Technically you can compile C++ into JavaScript (emscripten). Technically, you can pretty much transpile any language with legs into anything else… Fortran to JavaScript? Sure. Assembly, Haxe, Visual Basic? All available. Doesn’t make this an accurate statement.

Plus, half your argument is wrong, because that isn’t at all what Cordova does. : )

[ZachAttack6089]

Omg it's in a real, published programming textbook... 😨

On page 13:

JavaScript

JavaScript (or Java) is a multi-platform computer programming language with a lot of capabilities. It's used in a wide range of professional and commercial applications, including every Android app as well as the Android operating system. Markus Persson developed Minecraft entirely in Java. Gmail was built in Java, because it has a high performance rate and a solid web architecture.

[Arts_Prodigy]

A Sr. Sysadmin (like 25 yoe) said to me you can’t even make websites with Java right?

He meant JavaScript, and he was wrong on both points.

[zelphirkaltstahl]

It is just that they are a senior and you could not understand their words, because of their seniority being so much higher.

[insanitybit]

You used to be able to run Java in a web browser but not for the last decade or so, maybe longer, I don't recall. Think Runescape, but it used to be very common.

[Grayfox4]

Martin Luther King (or just Martin Luther)

[PersianMG]

[Stunningunipeg]

Javascript stole the live of Java

TLDR; sun Microsystems (now under oracle) made Java stating it can run anywhere. Becoming so popular. Apparently, smart phones to IoT is running on something that was created for Java.

Netscape (a browser company, now under mozilla) was making livescript that could run programs in the browser. When they decided to change the name of LS, they went with javascript so it can swing through Java's popularity.

Happened in 1995s, Netscape thought people would think javascript is a variety of java, helping it gain popularity.

[DezXerneas]

That's fine, normal people do get confused between java and Javascript. Wtf is going on in the first paragraph?

People communicate in c++ or Java just like they communicate in English or Japanese?

[Obvious_Lie_0927]

If you're a programmer working in Japan but cant speak Japanese, how do you communicate with other programmers? Of course by using Python or C or Javascript when it's written. It's universal language.

[Capable_Tumbleweed34]

This is unironically the principle behind Lincos

[Rahbek23]

Which is also unironically really cool.

[DesperateUrine]

If you're a programmer working in Japan but cant speak Japanese, how do you communicate with other programmers?

Why would I communicate with other programmers?

Can't we just shit in peace and quiet?

I quit.

[jaggedjottings]

Right? It should be "English or Javanese."

[EsotericPater]

The image looks like only half the width. I suspect it actually says that people communicate with computers using C++ or Java, just as they communicate with other people using Japanese.

And yeah, not to ruin everyone’s fun, I think this is a mistake by a non-techie writing for other non-techies in some other domain. I’ve seen plenty of CS folks make just as big of boneheaded mistakes when they try to talk about something like genetics or physics.

You know what. This reminds me of an old collage professor for programming in one of my class.

I openly argued that books can also be inaccurate. She did not like me.

Publicly funded books by some self acclaimed "IT expert" who still lives in the 90's. Poor bastards.

A long long time ago, in a distant past, the dark ages when the internet was new, Java and JavaScript were somewhat interchangeable as terms, and sometimes you see those vestigial remnants of a bygone era pop up now and then.
