At long last, conclusive proof that literally everyone who hates Python is a dirt-poor pleb living in a mud hut.

I was getting some knowledge about very old PCs, like Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and the first DOS/Windows PCs. I came across the BASIC language, and some say it's the language that made programming popular, but apart from cringeworthy turorials for kids it doesn't seem to be a language that really could be used for serious stuff.
In fact, I remember my uncle said once that Pascal or assembly were the languages one would use in more serious contexts, BASIC being more of a toy.
So I wonder, did BASIC have dynamic memory management like C? Could it be used in professional scenarios? And was it used by some important software developers?
Or was it just a toy language all along?

It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration

Reposting since I posted it right at the end of the last thread.
First time posting on /g/ in about a year and a half, but I just wanted to leave this somewhere.
I made a USB-bootable image to flash the X201 BIOS (in this case, the included BIOS ROM has the wireless card whitelisting removed). I don't have Windows on my X201, and I don't have the dock with the optical drive (yet), so this was the only way I managed to flash my BIOS. It worked for me, so I wanted to share.
I basically extracted the FAT partition from the lenovo-supplied bootable ISO image, did some tweaking, and shoved it all into a FreeDOS 1.2 installation I made under QEMU. I had to prevent it from loading any extensions, which I kind of hacked together in FDCONFIG.SYS (FreeDOS's CONFIG.SYS), and then tweaked autoexec.bat a little.
I first tried to get the El Torito image to boot from a flash drive without luck. DOS isn't my specialty (unix is), and I haven't used it in about 15 years.
Anyway, I was able to boot it and flash my BIOS successfully.
To put it on a flash drive, unpack it and then run:cat image.img > /dev/sd(Whatever-Your-Device-Node-Is)
sync
Then you can remove it or reboot or whatever.
TL;DR flash your X201 BIOS with only a USB drive.
Download (6.4MiB):

It should also work for other ThinkPads, though you'll want to replace the BIOS.WPH file.
You can mount the image with something like:modprobe loop
mount -o loop,offset=32256 image.img
(the FAT16 partition starts at the 32256th byte, or the start of sector 63)

Better than gentoo. You just declare your system in a file and let the package manager build it.

The belts were done when i received my Walkman, so i put in some soft rubber bands that looked just like the other ones, just not goo.
The top one with the motor and the giant golden disk has a tight and thick rubber band while the tiny disk below that one has a long, skinny, stretchy rubber band, I manually rotated the double staged brass disk and everything seemed to have nice traction. I then re-assembled it and the tape played slow and kind of wobbly. I then tried many batteries, which did nothing. I then adjusted the speed. Once i fixed the speed, i found out that the audio still came out very shaky at high notes. I have cleaned the tape head. I have no idea what to do.
So in all.
Tight top band, what i assume to be a perfect bottom band, wobbly audio at high pitches, different speeds for different tapes, and audio distortion, mostly on the left side.

sup /g/
I have my Linux server set to automatically reboot at 6:05am each morning to make sure it continues to keep itself online and not fuck anything up when I am away from home. Every 4 reboots it comes back up and continues chugging along but sometimes it just doesn't regain a network connection until I forcibly reboot the machine again.
I set a bash script to run every 5 mins via cron that pings my gateway and if not receiving a response it will
>sudo ifconfig up
it only seems to bring the network up if I have manually done
>sudo ifconfig down
that works. But when restarting the machine automatically, it doesn't bring it up at all and I need to force a full reboot again for it to start working. Anyone know what I've done wrong here?
the bashscript is:
#!/bin/bash
ping -c4 192.168.1.1 > /dev/null
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
logger "Network connection missing... restarting"
sudo ifconfig enp2s0 up
fi
and my dmesg looks like this:
dmesg |grep enp2s0
[ 3.004775] tg3 0000:02:00.0 enp2s0: renamed from eth0

I guess it's the "link not ready" shit, but I don't understand how to fix it.

yeah my router has the mac address saved to give it the same static IP each and every time.
75% of the time it reboots and keeps chugging along but it's the remainder of the time it just simply doesn't come back up automatically at all with network access until I force another reboot
