!coderponies So I was ditzing around on the internet, and I found out that C++ was deliberately overcomplex. http://pny.lv/7uxu

@techdisk C is, in fact, the predecessor to both C++ and C#, which are both mostly supersets of C. C++ has access to all of C's functionality via the <c*> headers, but has automated garbage collection and an OOP system. I would argue that idiomatic C++ and C# are higher-level than C, and Java is around the same level as idiomatic C#.

!coderponies So, I just created a free Koding VM to muck around with. Suggestions? @redenchilada It's sorta like DigitalOcean except it has a free plan and provides full-on SSH, so I may be able to create a Poképon server.

@broniebrown Fortran is like a German Luger. old, reliable, old fashioned, and people look at you kinda funny for trying to bring one to the table.
-
@critialcloudkicker Fortran is for weird people and for those who are way behind. Fortran uses column major matrices, whereas other languages use row major order. Fortran is only used in archaic system environments and surprisingly in high performance computing.
-
@broniebrown If it us used in high performance computing ( whereas you may arguably argue that it could be replaced ( and may work better with ) a "new" age programming language ), if it is still used I see the pro's to learning that language. Hence where we come to the "Luger to the table" analogy. arguably argue ? is that correct english ?

Paging someone knowledgeable about laptop hardware. My hard drive's showing incredibly long seek times and I think it might need replacing. I have an HP Pavilion dv7 (that I'll probably replace altogether in the long run, but while I'm tight on funds, just a hard drive will do). Would something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA65W22F1455 be what I want?

@critialcloudkicker Battery life isn't that important and I'd like to have something that runs fine without being expensive. An SSD wouldn't provide enough benefit for me on this laptop to justify. My current hard drive is 640GB.
-
@redenchilada I went for a quick stroll on that website and found http://pny.lv/5dyn ... Now it is not OEM, and it might be too expensive, and does not scale to lower RPM speeds ( resulting in faster battery depletion when idling ). But it tells me it is 5 times faster than traditional 5400RPM HDD's ( like the one you have now ) ( probably only the SSD part of the esemble ) which means that windows will be up and ready a hell of a lot faster
-
@critialcloudkicker Boot times aren't a big issue for me on this current laptop, since I'm usually letting it boot as I wake up and having it ready when I get back to it. My current concerns are price and reliability, since if I have to spend too much it'd be better to just get a new laptop and have better hardware elsewhere.

!coderponies Mucking around with Linux Mint and creating a LAMP server. Any ideas for what to do with it?
Sunday, 05-Oct-14 16:14:58 UTC from web-
@vt3c @scriboos @redenchilada @caret7 @techdisk Good ideas, everyone. I would probably do something really cool, were it not for a few things: 1) I'm broke, so I can't pay for hosting 2) As with most of the Linux I muck around with, it wasn't on for very long before I had to turn it off 3) Even if I could keep reasonable uptime, my parents are REALLY stingy about me opening ports on our router (risk of hackers and all that jazz), so that would be possible only if everyone was at my house.
-
@twilisparkle45 Well, why run a LAMP server and then not do anything web-related with it? :V

@twilisparkle45 I mean, you could set up a copy of the RDN source on it if you felt like contributing to that, or something of the sort, but otherwise...

@mrmattimation Scratch is OK for simpler stuff.
