You are right, it's not funny once it is explained. My answer would confuse you even more, since everything I say is a lie.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

The Driving one was OK, the Bubblegum not so good.
I guess its difficult to be funny everyday, unless you are me.

If you flew R/C Helicopters and had as many close scrapes with the ground as I do, you would smell funny too.

Fortunately, the T-Rex 550 touched the ground only with its landing gear up to now. The 450 was not quite so lucky after starting to roll without very much control.
What do you fly with?

Given my opinions about slavery marriage, I would really be surprised about any female objections. That's why I not only patched up the 450, but also built another one for the scale body I was working on. Five blade rotor heads are really hell to adjust.

That's from something like 'If programming languages were cars' article which was among the news here a while ago. But I find it fitting. A golf cart is just as much a car as JavaScript is a programming language.

Ironically, I like JavaScript a lot. However, I tend to hear a lot of people act like it's the answer to cancer these days and it makes me laugh. Some of the people where are work are comparing to Assembly in terms of speed for instance because of libs like asm.js[^]. And yet, it's still a script. Not sure why people don't get that.

I really don't like any functional languages, but that's just my personal preference. I think they are not easy to debug and at some point it always becomes hard to determine, wether or not this mess of code and data in a variable is correct or not.
As an interpreter, it's not only slow, but also notices errors only at runtime. Since the parser can get out of step after a typo, you must not only test whatever you changed, but also everything that comes after it. I really prefer to have a compiler filter out this kind of stuff before anything runs.
And a performance like assembly? Laughable. How can an interpreter which has to parse and interpret every line each time it is encountered ever hope to come close to the native machine code? Such nonsense can only be claimed by people who have never tried or understood what assembly or machine code are all about. Even in the old days some people never really understood the overhead involved with parsing, interpreting and then executing a single line of a higher level language.

During my studies, the professor started the first lecture about assembly programming with claiming that compilers 'nowadays' do a better job than the average assembly programmer. I made a comment about not comparing myself to the average and he thought that I was a bit arrogant. Later we had many interesting talks, after he heard that I had about 18 years experience of machine code and assembly programming at that time.

You guys don't seem to understand how modern javascript interpreters work.
|
|
|
|

Yes, that must be it. Do you really think they did not try to get their good old BASIC interpreters to perform a little better 35 years ago when memory and CPU were a little more limited than now? Your 'modern´interpreters are just as wasteful and a pain to work with as the old ones and no optimization short of turning them into compilers will make it any better.
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Well it's not that he's not funny, it's just that the joke is buried so deep, nobody can find it (or at least, I usually can't)
Bill Watterson was usually funny. I recall that almost every single one was. I wish he had kept on drawing Calvin & Hobbes.

Today's xkcd requires one to be familiar with this movie, They Live[^]. I found today's drawing quite funny, but that's just my odd sense of humor.

I don't like CommitStrip either but people post that "comic" here all the time.

The problem about Dilbert is that it often lags behind reality. I have known managers that make pointy hair look like a model of sanity and practical thinking.
