It’s always refreshing to read something that I can be 100% sure was not written by an AI.

Absolutely goated. There’s just something about it that feels good. I think it’s the fact the it feels a bit like writing Unix pipelines but in reverse. You can visualize data move through your program like pipes.

A few of the erdos problems have been independently verified. It’s legit.

I too am interested in this. I work at a sort of intersection between traditional backend systems and industrial controls so I see a lot of Java/C# and a lot of Ladder Logic and SFC.

SFC in particular is as close to visual programming as I’ve seen be feasible and one can accomplish quite a bit with it.

I wonder how feasible it would be to develop a visual programming language that worked a bit like stringing together blocks that worked like pure functions where each block was, internally, just a function written in some language. Like some unholy marriage of SFC and Scratch.

PS: What keyboard are you using for the Thorpe character?

I’m not a rust programmer, can anyone with experience in systems programming explain a legitimate use case for the uutils other than weakening the GPL? The auther even admits that several coreutils are still GNU in 26.04 which begs one to ask “why the rewrite?”

So I actually got my BS CompSci from WGU so I probably fall in this category. Did 2.5 years at community college for a math associates, ran out of money and joined the military, then finished the degree online in my last year in. I suppose all together it came out to about 4 years and it’s accredited so {shrug}

I have mixed feelings about the degree, it got me the job I have now working as a Linux Sysadmin for a robotics company and working towards a role with the robotics Dev team but the education was thin.

Strictly speaking, if you did all the supplemental material you were given the classes were actually dense as hell but the problem was it was way easier to cram for each test.

That being said, I know a lot of CS grads that don’t know what an array is so honestly I think I’m on the side of “maybe cramming all your education into 4 years is worse than just slowly picking at it over a lifetime”.

I think I’d like to see a system like that. Like IT certs but not complete shit.
