programming / computer websites that aren't shit

Name: Anonymous 2013-12-09 17:41

http://nocash.emubase.de/ - guy who writes everything in asm and still uses win95

http://templeos.org/ - guy who wrote a compiler and an OS and 3d games and now writes incoherent rants about God and the BBC that are amusing to read

http://www.t3x.org/ - guy who wrote compiler for C and scheme and wrote textbooks about them

http://prog21.dadgum.com/ - pretty good for a blog

http://bellard.org/ - another talented programmer

http://toastytech.com/ - the gui museum is nice

http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/History - old microsoft VHS tapes

do you have anymore good ones /prog/ ? i'm craving for good computer sites. is it me or in 2013 99.99% of all sites is "a shitload of javascript garbage and DRM and Ads and bullshit up your ass" ? why don't people make these oldschool plain HTML sites with good fucking content on them anymore ?

I think, sadly, that your list is pretty comprehensive for computer science / programming related personal sites.

Here's two sites that I like:

http://carlossicoli.free.fr/ - large library of very advanced level mathematics texts (direct links; can wget; ~3700 books totaling ~16GB)

http://lib.freescienceengineering.org/ - large library with most books that are available online as PDFs or DJVUs (used to be libgen.info)

Not OP, but seconding the ``Fuck Google Groups'' sentiment. Occasionally I have to read posts by people who refuse to use a real news client, the formatting errors are absolutely atrocious, and have been getting worse as time goes on. I don't blame Google from doing it, they want to get everybody moved onto Buzz, or whatever their attempt at social networking is this year, but I can at least blame the people who use it. They're almost worse than topposters.

Well then why does he have such a hate-boner against GPL, if he's such a staunch libertarian? Is it just because it's hip and trendy to bash GPL among the kind of computing elitists who would become cat-v regulars?

Name: Anonymous 2013-12-20 5:13

>>29
From a certain viewpoint that could be held by libertarians, the GPL is less attractive than other licenses because it places some restrictions on what you may do with the code. Perhaps the guy once wanted to sell a product which would have used a GPL'd component internally, and found that legally he wasn't allowed to.

I think there's a simpler reason, however. The GPL is really fucking long. Compared to the MIT or N-clause BSD licenses, it's a EULA. cat-v really seems to value terse writing.

Out of the Debian systemd debacle, I found http://ewontfix.com , which is a blog written by one of the authors of musl, a libc. He mostly deals with libc-related things and details errors (in things like GCC, glibc) he has found along the way.

Not bumping because this thread is actually pretty decent, and if it shows up on the front page it will undoubtedly get a very special visit from the Javashit shill.

I refrained from reading that a long time ago because I figured that it would disgust me. As it turned out, all it did was make me lose respect for Fravia. "I-i-it's a troll guys so I'm going to put it on my website so I can show how smart I am...!". What a coward. It's painfully obvious that he wrote it himself. He likes fucking child corpses and he's not even man enough to admit to it.

I can't say I'm surprised though. It's not even his fault, really. His long declined started when he met fat faggot Richard Marx Stalinman, known member of the Gruesome Penis Laceration tribe, and let himself be convinced that open source wasn't a fundamentally idiotic idea. The beginning of the end was when he deleted all his cracking stuff and started writing useless ``philosophy'' papers or the fundamental rights of code or some shit, and it just got worse from there.

Most commies do dishonest and murky kind of business. And open source software typically uses freemium model, where you still have to pay at one stage or another:
1. Linux serves you ads, including Amazon.com spam.
2. Blender requires you to pay for accessing tutorials at blender cloud.
3. Wine want you to pay for CrossOver, because default Wine wont run most software on purpose.
4. All "open source" MMORPGs keep assets non-free.

so like with communism, free software is advertised as free, yet in the end you will pay more. That is way Jews love it.

1. Spend a month recompiling Linux, and then recompiling any updates.
2. Pay $50 for a copy of Windows, commercial software quality and free update for several years. In most cases comes bundled with your device at negligible cost.
3. Spend a few minutes searching for Windows a torrent, free but some virus risk, countered by using anti-virus.

I think the choice is obvious.
