has Anonymous ever created a large program? (33)

1 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-05-31 17:31 ID:Heaven

You know, collaboratively?

Anonix doesn't count because purist faggotry, Katawa Shoujo doesn't count because it hasn't been released yet.

bring it on

In what? Bring what on? I just asked if it's ever been done. Do either of you even have an idea for what Anonymous as a group could make, that wouldn't suck ass or be useless?

Anonymous can't do shit because anonymous is 20 year old faggots thinking they're cool with all their faggotry.
I repeat, anonymous can't do shit. Programming takes balls, and you faggots sure don't have them.

And yes, I am involved in some projects you'd consider large.

Yeah, I guess we'd need an idea first... someone get on that.

Anonix is purist? Care to explain?

Here's an idea for y'all:

Write a general compiler-decompiler system that uses a generalized intermediate language that can be used to produce machine code for any Von Neumann architecture as well as decompile into.

"general" is nonsense in that context.

"generalized" is nonsense in that centext.

Clairvoyance? I think so.

Here's an idea for you: Stop trying to sound smart, because you're not fooling anyone.
You fucking brat.

Well, instead of turning your questionable programming talents towards something that would at least be unique and novel like Katawa Shoujo, you're reimplementing a toolchain that has already been implemented countless times.

Your reasoning for choosing this task in particular, as I understand it, is that the most popular implementations don't conform entirely to or offer extra functionality over the standard specification, and also because the most free of the existing implementations are still bound by the dire restriction that they must contain or reproduce their minimalist copyleft & credit notice when redistributed in any form.

I don't know if "purist" is the word I'd use, but I can deduce that you have an unhealthy obsession with both specifications and the public domain, which is odd because the two do not usually go hand in hand. (In fact, the main reason most free *NIX coreutils don't quite conform to POSIX is because historically you had to pay a lot of money to to get a copy of it, until the SUS incorporated it and was put on the internet for free.)

In metaphorical terms, you're reinventing the wheel because the hole in the center is a bit wider then you'd like and some troglodyte wrote "MAED BY THAG" on the blueprints.

>>11
What's nonsense about a compiler system that can compile any traditional (or possibly not) programming language given a description of it? Compiling into an intermediate language that abstracts away the details of the target machine (and by ``general'' I mean for any V.N. machine)

>Well, instead of turning your questionable programming talents towards something that would at least be unique and novel like Katawa Shoujo, you're reimplementing a toolchain that has already been implemented countless times.

Between making something original and improving on the imperfections of past implementations, we'd choose the latter. This is like correcting a misspelled word instead of continuing on with writing several more. The name of the main Anonix development site is REchan, as in "do again".

>In fact, the main reason most free *NIX coreutils don't quite conform to POSIX is because historically you had to pay a lot of money to to get a copy of it, until the SUS incorporated it and was put on the internet for free.

...and now that it is free, we would like to make use of it.

I'd say we're reinventing the wheel because it's not round enough.

No, you just fail. All your "updates" to anoncoreutils so far, I've found at least 10 bugs for each update. If it wasn't for me, you'd have around ~30 bugs more. Not only that, but I don't really think about it. I don't understand how you can stand the humiliation.
I'm positive that you can't write any serious code over, say 1000 lines.
Have fun writting utilities "conforming" to POSIX (because POSIX only provides a few options see? makes it easier for you morons to impement them), while ignoring locale issues. Then, claim POSIX conformance for your utilities. Nobody will use them, and you won't go any further. You're just gonna bitch here, and say that the more I make fun of you, the more likely you'll succeed. FAIL.

Why waste the time? Any jackass who could code his way out of a paper bag could find the bugs.

"IT'S BUGGY BECAUSE I THINK IT IS!"

What a convincing argument.

18 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-06-02 07:40 ID:Heaven

>>17
There's a thread on anonix at 4chans /prog/. I won't even link you to the failthread and to my posts, but if you search for it you'll find all the bugs I've reported. I've also reported some bugs here on 4-ch I believe.

>>16 is right.

19 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-06-02 07:41 ID:Heaven

btw, thread fails. It's just another topic to discuss anonix, disguised in a more "general" topic name. It should be perma-saged as well.

20 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-06-02 12:23 ID:Heaven

There's no proof that >>1 has anything to do with Anonix, but it did certainly get hijacked.

21 Name: HAHAHaruhi!6mHaRuhies : 2008-06-03 01:49 ID:Heaven

>>18
Those have been fixed, see release 1.

>>19,20
What else has Anonymous developed?

22 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-06-03 05:05 ID:Heaven

>>21
I, myself a lot of things. Under the handle "Anonymous"? none. That's lame.
group programming requires instant and successful communication between programmers. That's why anonymous programming doesn't work. You don't understand the importance of scalability.
For example, 1-version unix utilities can be easy; Each anonymous programmer contributes a whole unix utility he wrote. What about a bigger program? Each anonymous would have to read up the work of the other anonymous. If he disagrees, he's free to improve it, but then the other anons would have to read up his version, disagree, etc etc. It doesn't work. It's time-wasting and deemed a failure.
If you truly want a project where anon can contribute, write a 2D SDL game, which should allow for extensions and other things. Anon might not contribute code for the core of the program, but he'll almost certainly will for extensions, etc.

Think of it as firefox and plugins. How many people have bothered to read the source code of firefox and actually contribute bug fixes and whatnot? Few, or none. How many people have contributed plugins, extensions, themes and whatnot? shitloads.

That's the trick: give them something that already works and the only thing that it requires is inspiration and not-so-much effort.

I can most certainly write a mario clone with a level editor, skins and shit. I'm sure it would excite a lot of people, but then again, why do it? I have more important things.

Just accept it, your current project won't succeed. Take my advice, try something else, and when you decide to post it here, be sure that it works.


and cut the faggot names, the lame philosophy and all that bullshit.

Indeed, aside from the tripcode I couldn't say who's who.

Actually, an article just today on Slashdot (yeah, full of fags, etc.) stated that half of all contributors to the Linux kernel made exactly one contribution. They wouldn't have needed identities to do it.

And Katawa Shoujo is pretty much an Anon project, but a few key players have taken on pseudonyms in order to coordinate the production.

27 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-06-05 13:16 ID:Heaven

>>26
protip: the contribution actually was a bug fix. They did not introduce anything new.

28 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-06-05 14:26 ID:Heaven

Anonymous is not a person. Don't bring 4chan here. Thanks.

>>27
See, that's the cunning plan. By writing horrible, bug-filled software the Anonix coordinators are giving Anonymous a chance to contribute the best way they're able!

anonymous made shooped life. a second life client that sends random hardware information to the secondlife servers for anonimity

31 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-06-07 05:00 ID:Heaven

I know that /i/diots think that a 40-lines shell script is a huge achievement for their low-tech trolling endeavors, but this kind of little hacks doesn't meet the definition of "large"

32 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-06-07 10:50 ID:Heaven

>>30
IIRC shoopedlife is the work of one guy who calls himself "N3X15".

33 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2008-06-07 14:16 ID:Heaven

>>30
'shoopedlife' isn't a "large program".
Read more about it.
