I don't know what kind of IT they did back in the days when there was only one thread running.

http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/?year=1954

I would imagine that there is a lot of actual debugging of the circuits, though. http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/h96000/h96566k.jpg

On the mainframe they used MIPS ... million instructions a second ... (still do)

We used to boot systems from a card deck ...

I also remember cabinets full of circuit boards.  Used paper loops for the printer ... vacuum tube for tape drives ... etc ...

Its why I marvel at the power of the phone in my hand ...

Didn't expect to see this thread pop up here. I'll bite!

I currently program in:

C++

C#

Objective-C

PHP

Javascript

OpenGL (with C++)

HTML/CSS/XML (not actual languages, but related)

Have wrote one or two things in Python, and have done a couple small C apps just for the hell of it. Have modified and added things to a project in VB, but I really don't care for that language at all. Will be learning Apple's new Swift language, which looks really clean, and way less verbose than Objective-C.

Most of my career has been spent in C++, but these days I write more Python.  Languages from the past include BASIC, Pascal, various assembly languages, C, Perl, TCL.  Recently I've dabbled a bit in Lua and Swift.

C, Python, Java

Javascript, PHP

C++, C#, Perl,

SQL, x86 Assembly,

Bash scripting

I guess that's it.  I've used a few others over the years but these are the main ones.

Ha.  Lots of programmers here.  I do most of my work in:

C++, R, Perl, Python, Bash

I have in the past done work in:

Java, C, Stata, SAS, C#

I have at some point learned or messed around in just enough to be dangerous:

JavaScript, Go, ML, Matlab

I've learned a tiny bit of Lisp, but almost exclusively from messing around with my .emacs file, which is almost exclusively done with google search, copy, paste.  Though they're not programming languages, I do a lot of stuff in Latex, know a good amount of HTML, though mostly as a screen scraper so you wouldn't want me making you a web page, and know tiny bit of CSS.  And I've done a decent amount of database work in the past so am comfortable with SQL (mostly MySQL).

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
