why would you take something perfectly functional and make it look like the most jeet language on earth p*thon

>>25522
Miles Mathis proved this to be misleading at best. The photon does have mass.

you need hecking infinite energy to accelerate past speed of light ev&oe according to your own atheist retarded big bang theory all the matter in the universe was moving at light speed at one point and then decelerated to subluminal speeds and last time I checked there isnt an infinite amount of energy hanging around in here

good thing big bang is christcuck theory and you need to kill yourself

>entirely useless
the thing is that the people who used those computers actually knew how computers work, a computer with the power of a gameboy brought men on the moon, meanwhile windows 11 can't even remap buttons without clicking on 50 rounded rectangles
old computers had excellent I/O, meanwhile your shitty fagbook doesn't even have VGA let alone a serial port or anything actually useful.
>objectively inefficient
i dunno but my thinkpad doesn't have a giant heatsink and a 666 core CPU full of backdoors that eat additional power, while a shitty bloated operating system eats even more
GNU/Linux powers almost the whole internet (96.3% of the top 1 million servers), and most of the rest is other UNIX like operating systems
the reason for this is that UNIX is very flexible, easy to get work done with, and its generally just very versatile and efficient, especially compared to whatever bullshit you are running right now (probably just a giant blaoted hacked together patch for MS DOS)
>saving the planet
the power required to make new hardware is far greater than the power actually consumed by older hardware

Low IQ UNIXtard bait. You will never be a programmer or a woman for that matter

And have to pay meme bucks to replace it when I inevitably fuck it up by using it in the woods and drop it on a rock? How about no. Also I'm not going through the effort to replace some of the stuff I have when it still works just fine and I can drop dollars on what does need replacement, like with the Haswell/Skylake stuff I have that still tears into most everything I do besides local generative AI and computational stuff like blender or fuck your shit up statistical models
>>25485
The idea is the cost of replacement is peanuts, not that I want it to last as long as possible. Yes, it will last less time than a high end proper workstation. But they're both as easy to fucking break as each other, and I don't feel as bad mistreating a shitbox than something with the performance of a department of defense supercomputer. For a server I just use whatever I'm not dailying at the moment, which is probably just some skylake thing cause I'm in texas and don't give a shit about electricity costs when a 2500sqft single family home is less than 100 bucks a month without AirCon and they use like 20 watts anyways which is as much as I've seen my high end laptop use at the wall when not charging and just playing a video
And keeping a device in low power is far better for it than taking it literally everywhere I go, especially with my habits, and I do need to spool it up somewhat often because I do engage in heavily computational tasks that need ridiculous performance, and sometimes I will just chill out on something with an IPC of 'yes' and a transistor count of 60 billion. That's when I'm not in a forest.

OSX is a Unix albeit

I dont understand why you are complaining about "ancient" systems
After all, isn't your entire political ideology about reTROONing to tradition?

haha, thanks

no, this is called hermaphrodites which is a time of sexual reproduction where a lifeform has both sexes inside them.

>>25404
There is actually a species of molluscs who iirc start their life as males and then pile on each other with the molluscs at the bottom becoming hermaphrodites or females. Of course, humans aren't molluscs.

>>25433
there are also zombie wasps who impregnate practically multiple different orders of orders of hexapoda.

and there is a barnacle who rapes a crab and has sex with it to get eggs.

as for flowers, they can't move so obviously they're gonna keep it together as much as possible, although most flowers rely on polination.

>>25431
thanks. I will try to do this.

A quick word of warning though. R and Julia are intended for scientific computing, so while they are very pleasant to use, they aren't really generalist languages. Scala on the other hand is a very generalist language (you can write it in procedural, OOP, or functional style), and it is very similar to Python and Java, meaning that if you know Scala you can easily pick up those two. The reason I recommend Scala over those other two is that Python and Java teach bad habits, and they're OOP oriented languages.

>>25464
it's absolutely retarded to think that someone could learn to any relevant extent and appreciate Scala without knowing Java or some other "normie" language

>>25501
There are plenty of beginner friendly Scala courses. Besides, I did recommend first learning C.

>>25507
