It was before I joined when Wu made that tweet, and I fell on my ass laughing. Complaining that something is old in a field that's so young is just comical. We're still working through stuff that was figured out in 50s and 60s. Shitting on Pascal or COBOL is something only someone not in a field could do, really. C's "old", so is UNIX.

I'm still delighted by ideas proposed half a century ago. Fuck, a ObjC, made by bearded white males, that powers Wu's toys, is only 10 years younger than Pascal.

10 years is nothing. And ObjC is just an extension of C.

It's like claiming you're an architect and only liking a concrete buildings and rolling your eyes on gothic cathedrals.

I recommend anyone who's interested to check out the kind of things Algol 60 was already capable of in, yes, 1960.

Virtual memory was also invented in the 60s, even though you'd think it was a time when people barely had two bytes to rub together. A real 60s-technology enthusiast like Alison Holiday could probably tell you all about it.

And we can't forget The Mother of All Tech Demos, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos


In short, Wu's a fraud to anyone who's willing to take a look.

Someone should ask him exactly what's wrong with COBOL and why he objects to it being used.

Let us not forget that Admiral Hopper worked as a consultant for DEC in her later years, a powerhouse in the tech field, at least before Ken Olsen's infamous, "Who'd want a computer in their home?" Digital didn't have any plants in MA-08 before selling out, but it isn't like Wu would notice anyway.

If someone can edit the creature with Brianna Wu, that would be hilariously epic.

The well is no good either. His head would be poking out the top, wondering why you thought this would trap him.

It would trap him though: Look at those flabby upper arms. John doesn't have the upper body strength to drag himself through a TV or climb out of a well, even if he was standing on the bottom.

I kind of thought someone at the convention would have said as much, but I guess we'll need a little more time with Brianna trying to force himself into the Massachusetts political scene before someone tells him in no uncertain terms that he's cancer to politics.

I suspect he'll become a perennial candidate, you know, that asshole who runs for every damn office every damn year.

Or he'll run for town meeting member, which is extremely easy to get elected to in basically every town. (This is not to be confused with selectmen/women, which is a legitimate office that people put effort into running for.) (Town meeting member is also the only elected office Jill Stein has ever held.) I mean, I do know someone who managed to fuck even that up in Arlington by being so incredibly irritating that people didn't re-elect him, but that's the exception.

John would consider that beneath him. He wants to be elected King, where if he is elected, he'll get to personally write laws outlawing Moon Rocks and other enemies.

There's always the tinpot dictatorships known as county clerk positions.

Those require actually doing work. That particular job is the one where I've broken my "never ever vote for a Republican ever" and voted for a Republican clerk who was good at her job and fuck politics.
 
Clearly you live in some county with a well-functioning government, and not one where positions are basically ways for washed up city councilors and other hack politicians to get as much state pension bucks as possible. We had a probate clerk punch someone once. Although I realize now that I think about it this requires people knowing who you are and voting on name recognition, and I doubt anyone in Norfolk County has heard of him.

Also, sorry if this is common knowledge, but is there a known reason he lives in Dedham? I keep thinking he lives in Somerville, which would make more sense. I can't imagine the appeal of Dedham--it's a very boring suburban town that's only 'liberal' in the sense that people are registered Democrats. I've seen a Confederate flag being flown there before.

I'd bet a sizeable sum he doesn't actually want to be elected at all. He'd much rather be constantly "campaigning", which requires no work at all from John, other than spending people's donation money on """""""""campaign expenses"""""""""" such as trips to collect clunker Porches from across country. If, by some miracle of misfortune, he actually ended up holding public office, people would start expecting him to turn up for stuff and he'd shit the bed.
