FORTRAN and Basic users BTFO
No one denies that Basic is archaic garbage. Fortran is just useful as a history lesson.

Fortran is still used in theoretical physics. High school friend who attended Cornell had to learn it.
fortan is used in academic research.

please kill me
why do you have auto-rotate locked?

Was this written by a teenager? The prose is fucking terrible.

I do the IT for a slaughter house. One half of their systems is running FORTRAN on AIX.

Yeah its a narration style by a retarded techno kid

You are obviously quoting some womyn's studies feminist bullshit if a female is talking about programming languages.

not Op but we use it when we're lying down so the screen doesn't rotate into Safari's horrid landscape design

I still use BASIC to run old text games and stuff. Haven't made any big programs with it, but I'm more likely to than with say Python or other modern shits (I do however, use C and Perl quite a lot).
This one works pretty good on Unix-like OS:

99% of Quantum Chemistry programs, even the commercial ones, are written in Fortran

Fuck all y'all.
Is she right /g/?
>>53454406
yes
>>53454472
So her solution is:
she wants to make a veery wierd profile, very obscure, so that they cant target her and stuff.
Good plan or no?
The book is pic related by the way. It's decent so far.

The good news is that they can't do anything to you psychologically.
The bad news is that you aren't special enough to warrant that, anyway.

In this book, the internet is pretty much in their brains.
But its not hard to psychologically influence someone using images and videos and rhetoric... even without something intrusive as a brain-computer... just look at CNN and FOX how they dictate what the masses should think and look at.
I once made a BASIC code that randomly drawed a bunch of psychedelic lines on the screen.
It was pretty fun.

There's still a good number of BASIC environments today. Here's an overview:

Oh yeah, I've read that. Pretty good for a children's book.
