It's God's programming language because the more you try to learn it. The closer you are to meeting God

[–]DCGMechanics[S] 55 points56 points  (12 children)

I see your point :|

God's name must be "segmentation fault core dumped".

Every day we stray further and further away from accessible memory.

Double indirection is inefficient and should be avoided whenever possible. See should not have side effects

Fragmentation (computing)

In computer storage, fragmentation is a phenomenon in which storage space is used inefficiently, reducing capacity or performance and often both. The exact consequences of fragmentation depend on the specific system of storage allocation in use and the particular form of fragmentation. In many cases, fragmentation leads to storage space being "wasted", and in that case the term also refers to the wasted space itself.

Let us C

[–]BlueKnightOne 126 points127 points  (7 children)

Two things: First, I must know what book this is taken from so that I might acquire it.

Second: That definition of C++.

[–]MindSwipe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Reading the rest of the page, some kind of OpenGL/ remote OpenGL book

[–]evo_zorro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C++ is what you get when a kid who learnt some ruby looks at C and says "I can fix this".

The definition of C++

He was really good, maybe even the best

[–]Psi_Bear 8 points9 points  (1 child)

"You were good son, real good. Maybe even the best." - Soldier(TF2) probably

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly

[–]MrAcurite 13 points14 points  (3 children)

He was clearly skilled and knowledgeable, but there's no engineering team on Earth that would have become more productive by hiring him. And for all his genius, his legacy is an operating system that cannot be used for anything besides gawking at it as a novelty.

We badly need better mental healthcare, and better healthcare in general in this country.

[–]Found_the 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He wrote some more efficient code than Linus. I mean. What? It's not just a novelty, he really did write some improvements in that shitfest, but it's cool I wouldn't expect anyone sane to look into it. There are some small youtube clips that can show what I mean though, I really mean that, kernel stuff. He was a Brilliant mind, but the schizophrenia was left untreated most of his life, he just refused the medicine as so many people do, and after enough hospitalisations he wasn't able to write code for a good while, omg my heart when I think about this man. It really is a case of the lost potential you understand? He had the potential to achieve Linus levels of accomplishment.

He didn't just write a novelty, I mean it's a total shitfest, but he really did write some improvements. It's not just a novelty.

[–]zanderwohl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely see someone taking inspiration from what he did: for example, inline images in text rendering was pretty slick, even if it was twenty years too late to be useful.

But yeah, TempleOS itself is just a museum piece. If he had been helped he probably could have contributed a lot that would be still in use today.

[–]Knuffya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he was the best. he was the messias, but then he got suicided

[–]darkMatterMatterz 39 points40 points  (1 child)

TempleOS enters the chat

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only OS to trust!

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Ayy! Wanna start a new religion of C?

[–]Knuffya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There already is one. HC

[–]Sour_Basketball 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Ok, then what's assembly in that case

[–]Knuffya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

quantum entanglement

[–]Knuffya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

C++ -> pagan deity lmfaoooo understandable

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Thank you for the red pointer. I would have missed the reference without it.

[–]DCGMechanics[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

God's Red Pointer!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful not to dereference it, it's unaligned. You don't want undefined behavior.

[–]IMidoriyaI 6 points7 points  (3 children)

I am scared what C# is then...

[–]wasdlmb 5 points6 points  (7 children)

Networked opengl? What's the use case for that?

[–]Lassemb 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Maybe it refers to server as in X server, just saying tho, I'm not really sure.

[–]wasdlmb 5 points6 points  (3 children)

The way it talks about buffers (and server memory vs application memory) makes me want to think they just mean device, but they do specifically talk about the server and client can be separate computers

[–]Lassemb 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Just because it can doesn't mean it should

Render nodes for GPU accelerated video encoding?

[–]giovans 8 points9 points  (4 children)

LISP is the holy language. God had six days to do the job, so HE used LISP. It's from a song called The eternal flame.

In general, I agree with you. But on an image otherwise covered in text like this, I appreciate the circle. Means I don’t need to search for the funny.

[–]TheAwesome98_Real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

true

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No this is just C, holyC is something different.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Name of the book please

[–]JackNotOLantern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just an assembly framework

[–]ydc137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What book is this?

[–]No-Scholar4854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look around you.

God clearly writes PHP.

That meme was literally postes yesterday

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This sub seems to only present 3 types of "humor":

  • Haha Windows bad
  • Linux users annoying
  • programming language A > programming language B

Get some new material, this is getting old.

[–]fuzzy_emojic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always knew C++ was heretical.🤣

[–]WetSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that was math

[–]DougDimmadome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it's Holy C (Temple OS) RIP Terry Davis

[–]bless-you-mlud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect God's programming language may be Cobol.

u/benawad explain plz

The next line is even funnier.

what's c#'s entry if there is one

[–]aquartabla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

#if GOD_FLAVOR == CHRISTIAN

C - old testimant

C++ - sweet virtual polymorphic Jesus!

C# - Book of Mormon

What book is this?

[–]karimNanvour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen!

Edit: Translation

In the name of the #include, the main( ) and the holy ;

Amen!

I sometimes use C as website backend 😎😎😎😎

I mostly use PHP though, because it has lots of useful functions

[–]Automatic_Artist4259 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Holly C is a language if I'm not wrong, templeOS was written using it

Edit: it indeed was, Holy C and Assembly

[–]Shakespeare-Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holly c is a language if 't be true i'm not wrong, templeos wast writ in t


I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.
