we can get pedantic about the difference between "coding" and "programming" languages
No, you can't. There is no formal distinction. There isn't even a commonly understood / agreed upon informal distinction!
Pretending that such a distinction exists is just another silly way for the otherwise unskilled to make themselves feel superior to their peers.
Yes, you're right.
The fact that you think not knowing CSS will make a programmer limited showcases that your programming experience is limited to front-end development.
It's clear that he thinks that anyone who thinks that "not knowing CSS will make a programmer limited" somehow indicates that that person's "programming experience is limited to front-end development"
It's far more irrational than I originally thought!
One is (obviously) not an indicator of the other. You'd think will all the self-proclaimed "rationalists" on Slashdot that this sort of nonsense wouldn't be so prevalent.
Going back to languages, no language guarantees good income, not even comfortable jobs.
Except COBOL.
LOL, what?
How does being familiar with CSS indicate that a persons programming experience is limited to "front-end development"?
I can't rightly comprehend the confusion of ideas that would provoke such a statement!
There's a difference?
HTML5 + CSS3 is Turing complete, which is the usual criteria.
Picking nits...
See, old stuff that *they* like is important. Working on that stuff is a great idea.
Working on old stuff that they don't care about is clearly a waste of time.
Anyhow, here's a start for you: GCC PRC-Tools Which is likely what you want. Ron's Obsolete Palm OS Computing Information Page has a working link to HotPaw, which is better than nothing.
You'll also want to take advantage of the Wayback Machine to see what's behind all the dead links you're surely running in to.
This is Slashdot, right?
This is the last thing I expected to find here.
I guess it's BlackBerry or FireFox OS for you.
I'd call that a win anyway, but ymmv.
Yes.
How about "pride in your work"? Remember that old maxim "anything worth doing is worth doing well"?
I simply can't believe that money is the only thing that motivates people.
For the TL;DR crowd - Go read some Paul Tillich
What we need is FireFox OS on the desktop.
Hate Mozilla all you want, this is exactly the reason we need them around.
A lesson about infinity from a guy who fails at basic geometry... I think I'll skip this one.
as much fun to code in as Python
Wow, that's almost as fun as a trip to the dentist!
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
