The only more masochist geeks are the Perl ones - especially the ones who entered the “most obfuscated code” contests.

Nah, too relevant, what with LUA, functional programming, currying, and AI, et. al. ;)

I did an AI robot arena bot in college using Lisp. That was interesting.

I see your VHDL, and raise with Prolog… or Postscript, similar paradigm.

The revenge!

It’s dark… you are eaten by a grue.

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)

This ship set sail in 1992. I’ve been referencing this very checklist for at least 20 years when debating being dismissively yelled at by conservatives. Everybody thought I was nuts.

For me, a C# developer by trade, this is easily solved with a one command C# call. It’s possible you already have dotnet 6 or 8 on your distro as there are many C# Linux apps now.
