No. The proper term is GEEK. Needs are uncoordinated, awkward, have no fashion sense, and occasionally tape their broken glasses (or say sheepishly, “did I do that?”)
Geeks have in-depth, we’ll researched knowledge on topics that are obscure to the “mundanes”, have intellectual curiosity, and sometimes gain in wealth as a result. In many cases, they tend to make non-geeks (and geeks for other topics) completely befuddled. This sometimes results in insecurity on the part of non-geeks, which negatively impacts their social lives. On rare occasions, such geeks are so over the top smart that they transcend such petty attitudes (see: Neil deGrasse Tyson)
If you’re programming in assembly, regardless of what it is, you are the biggest nerd of them all. And I have massive fucking respect for you.
What is HTML doing here? Blasphemy!
Wow I’m an old engineer nerd. I feel so exposed. Zero is nothing always start at one for life.
I am not in this chart because my favourite programming languages are too nerdy for the cool programming nerds to include in their nerd chart.
Super nerd
Turbo Nerd
Therefore I can conclude I am not a nerd
I don’t think that’s how it works.
Same here.
VHDL represent. Although it’s arguably not a “programming language”
I see your VHDL, and raise with Prolog… or Postscript, similar paradigm.
you get out of here with your hardware descriptions!
You work at IBM or something? Who even still uses VHDL?
A ton of people. Anything aerospace, DoD, Space, or critical infrastructure. All those industries have to use VHDL to support legacy products from the 80s and 90s. At that point everyone is like, “Sure its 2025, by why switch to SystemVerilog? We already know VHDL.” and thus you got a whole army of engineers making next gen satellites, augmented reality headsets, etc. …… in VHDL 93.
Is it such a hassle learning verilog if you know vhdl or vice versa?
Not really, HDL is HDL. At the end of the day, as long as you know what you want to do electrically then everything else is an exercise of translating that desire into VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog. The only real hassle is creating test-benches and verification simulations. But at that point it’s discretionary towards the designer. A lot of tools coming from Intel, Xilinx, and Synopsys allow you to “black box” components. So a module written in VHDL can be incorporated into a design or test bench written in verilog and vis-versa. IMHO VHDL is still dominant because grey beard chief engineers throw a little hissy fit at design reviews when they learn the junior engineers did everything in verilog.
Lol, so much of the FPGA industry 🤣. Especially East coast of the US
I do mostly c/c++ for an embedded product, but one of the modules in the system uses an FPGA programmed w/ VHDL. So I’ve gotten to do a few deep dives into that code in the past couple years.
It’s been decades since I’ve had to write new VHDL or Verilog though.
Nerd.
Fair.
As a ruby guy, I’m just happy to be included.
how dare you Im not an engineer
How is your favourite language one that indexes arrays from 1??? You monster!
How dare you count things from one, like a human being.
I beg to disagree. It’s a law of nature to assign index 0 to the 1st th… Wait a moment
What language is that engineer and a nerd one?
Matlab.
Javascript should say “you are a masochist and a nerd”
Who thought of that and how have they managed to sustain their core bodily functions this long?
Probably this guy
with his therapist 🤣
I take it that he dictated the book to his therapist from a state of paralysis.
That should be a dog fucking a football.
Rust: you are a nerd wearing programming socks.
Trying to rewrite everything in the universe
It’s a shame that the Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils was named uutils and not uwutils.
Perl should say: You are old and a nerd or you use Debian
Aww I guess i’m fine since i mainly write in BBC BASIC SDL lol
Have you come to 2025 in a time machine? Can I borrow it?
Sorry I’m using it at the moment doing research for a Roman trading game I’m writing in BASIC.
Well, if Romans will perchance feed you to the lions… we won’t be sad.
Neeerd
Where is Objective-C?
Cobol: you are old, and a nerd, and probably making some sweet cheddar right now propping up a mid to late 20th century beast somewhere.
Assembly: you are a cyborg.
Assembly: you are a cyborg.
Or programming a tiny microcontroller to blink a led as efficient as possible.
Something wrong with:
#include <Arduino.h> void loop() { digitalWrite(13, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13, LOW); delay(1000); }? 😂🤮
Obviously the only correct way to blink an LED is to use a hardware timer to trigger a DMA transfer which stores a bit in the pin toggle register at a set interval
yeah! Or or use the interrupt pins and a 555 timer! both options are better than python though at least.
Where holyC
You are a christian nerd
I know who made this included React and HTML specifically to trigger us programmers, to that I say… well played >:(
