Why?

This is Brianna we're talking about. Nobody except Warren and Frank would go near that trainwreck and she treats Warren with as much love and attention as she does her dogs: Kept outside in the cold and not allowed to come in - until he's gathered enough signatures.

Because they covered the last two, and usually cover John’s scampaing announcements. Apparently Frank and Cory are buddies, so they give John a lot of free, uncritical press. It’s funny because even on boing boing, a safe haven, you get a lot of people in the comments calling John out albeit indirectly and non confrontationally enough to avoid the ban hammer.
 
Friendly reminder that elected officials never listen to their constituents under any circumstances - is that why you want to become one, John?

:late: And :offtopic:, but in 2004, Yoshi Sakamoto said that a Metroid game on the PlayStation 2 would be, “as likely as Samus being a newhalf.” Newhalf, being a Japanese slang term for tranny.
So no, Samus has never been trans at all.

John’s scampaign provides a good glance at how Rep John Flynt would act if elected. Basically offshore the hard work to China so John can tweet and play video games all day.

Wu was supposed to be going out with Warren to collect signatures today, but I guess she couldn't be arsed to leave the house 'cos Warren has made no mention of her being there.

#NoYouCan't #JustGiveUp.

No mention of that video Wu was supposed to release yesterday either. She can't do anything at the time she says she's going to do it.
Instead she's been sperging about this:

What the fuck OOP language did you expect to be taught in 1994? Smalltalk? C++ hadn't even decided if the new operator threw an exception or returned NULL by default on failure in 1994. Java didn't even fucking exist. Pascal is a perfectly serviceable language that's basically functionally identical to ANSI C and was much more accessible to the student back then. I learned Object Pascal in school, it was basically the default teaching language up until like 2002 when Java was at the height of its fashionable period.

Just another example of Wu faking up her engineering background. It's astonishing that she acknowledges another person who knew her back in the John Flynt days though. I would have thought anyone who knew John back then would be thoroughly disavowed.

I was taught PASCAL in 2006 alongside Visual Basic. Procedural and OOP have different concepts, and it's best to get a feel for both and to learn proper programming practices in both.

PASCAL is used as a gateway language to the wider world of programming, as is Visual Basic as both are relatively clean programming languages. Doesn't matter how old they are, if they're effective then it's suitable.

Besides, PASCAL would have given John core programming knowledge transferrable between all languages, there would be very limited "catching up". You're not rewriting the rule book, you're simply doing things in a different way.

The software that handles something like 99% the global bank-to-bank wire transfers is software written in COBOL. I can't remember why finance loves COBOL, but there's a good reason besides resistance to change. I believe the PASCAL class was a pre-req for COBOL, so even in TYOL 2018 PASCAL would be probably still be taught as an intro for COBOL.

:offtopic:/:powerlevel: :
My college had a course in COBOL that a passing grade would guarantee you an internship with one of three banks because they had trouble getting & retaining COBOL programmers. After finals the professor would send an email to the class "do you give me permission to pass your final grade to some recruiters", everyone with B or better got a call/email.
 
The AP Computer programming exam was about Pascal until 1999. I'm surprised nobody else remembers that and is calling her out about it. If you wanted to take the computers AP test you had to learn Pascal. It was taught at every rich school that funneled the kids to the AP exams. I'd be surprised if it was actually being taught much at poor rural Mississippi schools.

If current finance departments are anything to go by it's "you're wasting money on shit that doesn't need to be done", followed by "why am i paying you when this program/laptop doesn't do what i want it to do".

Finance are the biggest fuckers in the industry and piss me off to no end.

Just like John doesn’t race motorcycles or know how to fix cars, John simply doesn’t know how to program in any language be it object oriented, functional or procedural. He might have done some exercises in a class long ago that had some directions or lab instructions to follow and a little quiz at the end and all that, but he isn’t someone who could really take any kind of real world, open ended scenario and solve it with actual programming. I’m not talking about something technically sophisticated like writing an Ethereum client implementation from the yellow paper specification. Im just talking about a little console program or something that prints out which coins to give back as change.

It’s not because John is not intelligent enough to pull it off. It’s simply because programming is something that requires a modest amount of effort, persistence, follow through as well as attention to detail and Lord knows John is far too lazy for any of that shit.

Flynt/Wu complaining about being taught a programming language ten years after the language was first developed is just unspeakably stupid -- like his claims that, as a member of the House, he will sign legislation, conduct filibusters, issue subpoenas and hold hearings all by his lonesome. It displays a moon-rocks level of ignorance. It's like someone who falsely claims to be a medical doctor complaining that his anatomy class taught information that was centuries old.

I took college classes in FORTRAN and COBOL decades after those languages were developed. As noted above, there's a good reason they're still taught.

I will never understand how this obviously and aggressively fraudulent "software engineer" maintains even a shred of credibility with any human being who does not wear the black tunic of an Epsilon-Minus Semi-Moron.

Easy.

He's never been forced, in front of a sizable amount of people in a venue where his mistake will be spread quickly to the rest of the world, to actually prove he knows shit.

And he knows this and works as hard as possible to avoid any situation where he might be forced to fish or cut bait.
 
I guess Wu must hate that IC are designed with old archaic languages like Verilog(1984) and VHDL(~1980). If it ain't broke don't fix it.

:optimistic:, I know, but as much of a raging lefty douchebag Scalzi is, I thought he was too smart to pay attention to Brianna Wu.

Then again this is the jagoff who coined "life on the easy setting" thing, so what do I know.

He's not even smart enough to disguise his thefts from better authors.

This is a typical Brianna game. There's no right answer, and yet it isn't her job to provide one. She just gets to sit back and call everyone wrong.

I'm glad she'll fail.
