Why was /prog/ removed?

because it was a place for smart people, which was off brand for 4chan

>code monkeys
>smart
not necessarily

>>62472529
code monkeys stuck around on /g/

>>62472529
/prog/ wasn't all code monkeys though. I'd say /g/ is code monkeys (e.g., "what frameworks r u using to code up in python this weekend xd!").

/prog/ on the other hand did "smart stupid" things, like writing a Haskell to Brainfuck compiler

>>62472517
because text boards were very cpu-intensive for the servers and gpu-intensive for browsers

There's no need for /prog/ when you have /tech/

>Why was /prog/ removed?
Terry posted about God's divine intellect on /prog/. CIA had to shut it down.

>>62473073
Wait, which /tech/? You aren't talking about the one on underagechan, are you?

>>62472972
Sorting algorithm /prog/ came up with whose runtime doesn't depend on the size of the list:
>for each element in a list of integers, spawn a new thread/process
>each thread sleeps for x seconds, where x is equal to the value of the element associated with that thread
>after sleeping, each thread reports back its value and then dies
>main program listens and appends each reported value to a new list
you can normalize the list if there are negatives or if the minimum is far from zero. exact amount of time to sleep can be adjusted to balance speed and accuracy.
it is sub O(n log(n)) since its runtime is something like O(n max(L)) (n is length of list L)

Because Reddit existed at the time.

So what's the difference between /g/ and /prog/?

>So what's the difference between /g/ and /prog/?
/g/ is where braindead people come to pretend being smart.
They might look alike, but one had actual smart people on it.

Because it's not about technology anymore, it's about videogames, traps, muh rigz, browsers, and the /fa/ leakage that talk about gaudy watches.

The people that actually cared about tech left a while ago to lain- or 0chan, so moot got rid of the deadweight.

>>62474184
how fast is it compared to... bubble?

>>62474292
Pretty pictures to sate the ADHD kiddies

>technology board
>let's talk about watches, which last major innovation happened 3 centuries ago
Let's make a wheel thread general, to talk about the miracle of engineering, the wheel

>>62474478
Don't forget the /t/ leakage, the /pol/-leddit leakage, the /a/ leakage, the /lgbt/ leakage, etc.

>lain

Real niggas now hang out at arisu, pleb.

>>62474588
Can't you just stop shilling this overdramatic shithole now?

>>62472517
Moot said he removed the text boards because they were broken for a few days and nobody emailed him or complained that he noticed.
He assumed nobody cared.

>>62474588
Ah, you mean autismchan?

>>62474620
Is that so? I guess it was our fault /prog/ died ...

>>62474607
>>62474669
Applechan please go.

>>62474620
dis.4chan was readonly long before it died

>>62472766
what
How is displaying text fucking hard?

>>62474749
Wanna fight?

Yeah, that's true. http://blog.4chan.org/post/81998248943/goodbye-to-some-old-friends
I can't find where he says why he actually deleted everything, It was in a Q&A or something. Hardly any of those are transcribed.
