And then you have the rugged outdoorsmen get serious about nature and venturing into the wilderness. They plan for the worst. They bring enough supplies. They don't try to climb mountains in flip flops. They shake their fists at the city touristers leaving trash at the campsite and causing memory leaks. No garbage collectors out here. They know to respect the ecosystem flora and fauna or get ripped to pieces.

- wildrhythms 8y agoThis is actually an amazing analogy.
- blobjectivist 8y agoand then there's the guy whose back in the city who knows the world is designed by aliens and that nature is artifice, all decent processor architectures are designed using dataflow HDL languages and the notion of "bare metal" nature is a delusion held by hipsters and unix greybeards
- blitmap 8y agoYou. I like you. I hope FGPAs become more commonplace and efficient.
- signa11 8y agofpga's seem to be encumbered more by design/synthesis toolchain rather than anything else (imho)
- z3phyr 8y agoBut god created in nature three basic elements (resistance, capacitance and inductance) and with holy will and power forged the foundations. The wisdom of the first borns say there are more basic elemental that god intended (memristors...)
- henrikeh 8y agoBut even these are approximations and false gods. Electromagnetism and solid-state physics are more fundamental still.
- red75prime 8y agoTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE Better to be ashamed than ripped to pieces though.
- kqr 8y ago> They shake their fists at the city touristers leaving trash at the campsite and causing memory leaks. Do these truly exist? I'm doubting it more and more for every day, with more and more trash being found around campsites used by the most rugged of outdoorsmen.
- paulddraper 8y agoThey certainly do. Are their fences occasionally weak, or their cabins sometimes crude? Yes, but the fundamentals can be overwhelmingly good. See the Linux kernel which for all its warts is arguably the greatest software engineering achievement, and is by any measure one of the most widely deployed software programs.
- kqr 8y agoNow you're just making me feel bad! Of course, no disrespect to the kernel devs. What they are doing is insane, in the most positive way. ...buuut... they also leave trash around their campsites... I'm not saying I could do it better. I fully understand the business decisions and they are doing the very best they can. I'm consciously ignoring the big picture and pointing to this one flaw, which isn't even their fault. It's C's fault!
