Are you out of your mind? That book gives me headaches.

>>18979622
We will probably die the same way, too.

>>18979633
It occupies my mind just the right amount

>>18979622
knowing that everything is abstraction is pure feeling

>>18979622
I also vibe to this book. I do the exercises late at night while listening to jazz

>>18980422
wtf... I also do this (I'm not OP). How many of us are there?

almost any bible
I'm not even a christian, or at least not yet, but I just like it
even the jewish versions
book of mormon has never had appeal to me though, the quran draws a bit more interest, I have a copy of each but haven't really touched them yet

>>18980465
that's weird anon

Explain the purpose of "studying" terribly outdated programming book instead of, you know, modern ones

>>18980818
I know
I was raised atheist-agnostic and have had no real experience with any religion, I ended up studying religion and philosophy in college and finding much of it fascinating, it has captured me in a way nothing else has
I've been to a church service exactly once and it was a small congregationalist prot church closest to my home, I want to see what Latin mass and a Greek or Slavonic divine liturgy are like as well
I'm interested in what a synagogue visit would be like but don't think they would be as welcoming to an outsider, though I guess it's reformed/liberal jews that live near me anyways so maybe not as much of an issue as I expect

It's not outdated, it's beyond time.

You can't possibly believe its true. A 1985 book on digital technology can't hope to stay relevant 35 years later. Are you just too afraid/lazy to study programming languages with actual application?

>>18980845
it's "How to read a book" of CS

>>18980845
Nothing has fundamentally changed. Algorithms and Turing machines still work the same. There aren't any big new ideas. All those "features" zoomers use is just baseddevvery and doesn't add anything, to the contrary, it makes everything tremendously worse. I am a suckless user and software minimalist with an interest in formal logic and programming paradigms, which have not changed a bit in the last few decades. Your posts exposes that you have no idea what you're talking about. You either have zero programming experience and just believe technology always progresses, or you are some zoomer, JavaScript loving webdev

>>18980946
For some reason autocorrect decided baseddevvery should be baseddevvery

>>18980952
Wait, lit changes onions in based?

>>18980898
It's not a book about a programming language. It's a book about basic compsci concepts and the art of using them in your programming.

It doesn't become outdated, in the same way math books don't become outdated.

>>18980898
I believe its contents are actually became more relevant than it when it was published since functional programming has been enjoying a lot of attention for a while now.

>Gerald Sussman was a personal friend of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and attended a conference on Epstein's private island
I no longer feel calm

>>18980995
Marvin Minsky too. All MIT AI jews fucked kids.

>>18980958
soi has been filtered to onions and soiboi to basedboy for some time now, newfriend
you're not wrong about the book though, it's good and happy to see a suckless user on here

>>18980995
seems pretty sus... man...

>>18980995
> Noooooooooooo!!!1!1!!!! Not the super smart Jews I worship! Nooooo!!! I love them broooosss!!! AI and programming is the only thing that has any meaning in my life!!!! Don't do this to me nnooooooo!!

It is, like most things here, a meme
People don’t read it they just post the cover and avoid the direct questions on what’s actually in it to posture as well-read and eccentric
And yes, it is unbelievably cringe and people do it every day here

>avoid the direct questions on what’s actually in it
What direct questions?

>>18980845
I'll raise ya "The art of digital design", several chapters of which go through reverse engineering as designing a PDP-8 computer. Horribly outdated, but the only book that really goes into designing a complete computer from the ground up. A PDF of the book is available for download if someone wants to check it out.

>>18981376
There's also digital computer electronics

>>18981025
I'm not (that) new, I just don't use a lot of buzzwords
