Post #244,443 by Arkadiy 2/13/06 6:27:52 PM Reply	I've seen Python and Squeak They are both fine tools, but you know, Peter - youre emphatically _not_ "the most unprogrammerish person in the world". You're in those damned 10% that make life harder for the rest of the humanity. ------ 179. I will not outsource core functions. -- [link\|http://omega.med.yale.edu/~pcy5/misc/overlord2.htm\|.]
Post #244,483 by pwhysall 2/14/06 1:44:42 AM Reply	I'm shocked, sir. What 10% is that? I'm trying to work out if I've been insulted or complimented. Given that I have to ask, I suspect the former, in which case, bravo! Or, as they say on the CS:S servers, "pwned" Peter [link\|http://www.no2id.net/\|Don't Let The Terrorists Win] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal] [link\|http://guildenstern.dyndns.org\|Home] Use P2P for legitimate purposes!
Post #244,539 by Arkadiy 2/14/06 12:07:20 PM Reply	The 10% who understand things like iteration, arrays, the idea of restricted syntax, the fact that DWIM is not a command in any known computer language. As for the rest of us - someone I know asked a user to input a list of things into Word using Tab as separator. The user did what she was told, but she used spaces. When asked how the hell the computer should distinguish between the spaces that separate groups and the spaces inside groups, she smiled. ------ 179.

Post #244,541 by Arkadiy 2/14/06 12:13:45 PM Reply	The worst part is, she is righ. In most cases, it's possible to figure out that she uses more than one space to separate groups. But _she_ would be utterly incapable of writing the ad-hoc code that does it. ------ 179. I will not outsource core functions. -- [link\|http://omega.med.yale.edu/~pcy5/misc/overlord2.htm\|.]

OK, could you explain? - (Arkadiy) - (78) - Feb. 11, 2006, 07:03:26 PM EST

I think the point is that they're tools that are pretty easy - (jake123) - Feb. 11, 2006, 07:24:33 PM EST

I don't believe the "crutch" is necessary - (tuberculosis) - Feb. 12, 2006, 04:21:57 PM EST

disagree, recently sent a example of an application - (boxley) - (2) - Feb. 12, 2006, 07:00:51 PM EST

A crutch - (Arkadiy) - Feb. 13, 2006, 06:29:12 PM EST

I need to have me a look at that - (pwhysall) - Feb. 14, 2006, 01:48:21 AM EST

I'd like that to be true, but don't think it is - (drewk) - (58) - Feb. 12, 2006, 07:25:14 PM EST

Ive used that treehouse design, didnt think too much of it - (boxley) - Feb. 12, 2006, 07:51:29 PM EST

You are a prisoner of your assumptions and conditioning - (tuberculosis) - (55) - Feb. 12, 2006, 11:53:09 PM EST

my point is that people use what they know - (boxley) - (2) - Feb. 13, 2006, 08:30:08 AM EST

There's a central point we seem to differ on - (drewk) - (51) - Feb. 13, 2006, 09:04:53 AM EST

Yes, you can only think of one thing at a time - (tuberculosis) - (50) - Feb. 13, 2006, 04:55:43 PM EST

If I missed your point, it's because you forgot to make it - (drewk) - (49) - Feb. 13, 2006, 09:00:32 PM EST

But the applications *are* the walls - (tuberculosis) - (48) - Feb. 13, 2006, 10:50:05 PM EST

They're also inevitable - (drewk) - (47) - Feb. 14, 2006, 09:32:04 AM EST

As far as most recipients are concerned, it does - (ben_tilly) - (2) - Feb. 14, 2006, 07:29:26 PM EST

like windows, its the perception of security that counts -NT - (boxley) - (1) - Feb. 14, 2006, 08:25:23 PM EST
