    I don’t think anyone here was a hippie in the 60s…

    The summer of love was summer 1967. Assuming a young, 18 year old hippie, that’s a 75 year old man today.

    No one is going to answer

      Don’t underestimate people, @clubby. I WAS a hippie of the 60s. I got tear gassed in Washington at the protest Jane Fonda attended. I’ve also been programming since I was 14 years old. Do the math and see if you can figure out the language, newbie.

      And NO, this was not the America we envisioned! This was also not the America that Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Paine, Ben Franklin, and all the others envisioned. Since JFK, the Republicans have decimated education resulting in the ability to brainwash the idiots who voted for a dictator thinking he was going to lower food and housing prices.

      America has jumped the shark.

        Fortran? Though my parent (still alive, not on Lemmy) was a computer programmer in the early 70s and programmed a mainframe with punch-cards, I think it was some kind of assembly.

        My guess is FORTRAN.

        Why do coders seem to much more often have the courage of their convictions than those with other occupations?

          I don’t fucking know. How would I know, it not like lemmy has some sort of age tracking.

          Just because you’ve not encountered it, doesn’t mean it couldn’t exist.

          Also, if we’re talking OG hippy, I feel like I’m more likely to find them here then on say, Facebook.
