This post is copied from a question I wrote on the Q Noob Megathread and was told by mods u/catsfive and u/propertyofUniverse to make it it's own post for more eyes. Thanks friends and God Bless.
Has anyone brought up the idea or has it been talked about already if Q talks about computer programming files? I'll do my best to explain. This is something that I've been wanting to ask about but not sure if it's a stupid question or not and I've been stuck in handshake mode for awhile because I'm just not active enough, I lurk. Also forgive me because I am not a programmer. And if anyone thinks this deserves it's own post, please feel free to copy and make one so more eyes can get on it.
I will be using Q post #4414 June 4, 2020 as an example - the post about the Red Lines or Red1, Red2, etc.
RED2: Central communications blackout [continental US]
RED4: Movement of MIL assets [10th Mountain_1st Marine_CPSD_Marine_QVIR] to central locations under guise of citizen riot control.
RED6: SEC OF DEF _instruct1
CASTLE_ROCK
There are brackets and underscores being used. It's been bugging me on why it's written this way or what the significance is so I was trying to figure out what else uses that type of written wording. It's deliberately written that way for a reason right? Are these files? So from digging around a bit this is what I found.
Words between underscores is called "snake casing" to create identifiers and indicate emphasis for developers who write code, it's known as Markdown. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/424827/usage-of-words-between-underscores
Underscores use to be mandatory in file names. https://forums.evga.com/Why-do-people-still-use-an-underscore-in-file-names-isn39t-that-antiquated-m2014045.aspx
Underscores are used in the programming language Python. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15778601/when-should-i-use-underscores-between-words-in-python-function-names-according
Python is used by the Government in American electric utilities, Open Data, and Air Traffic Control. https://www.python.org/success-stories/category/government/
Python is also one of the languages used in AI. https://www.tristatetechnology.com/blog/why-is-python-the-best-for-artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning
Now as a Christian, some things stick out to me as red flags but I am mostly just wanting to know if there was any talk of computer programming, files or the such or if anyone has related any of the formatted wording in connection to anything of the sort. If you could please link any previous discussions that'd be great too.
Hmmm....I'm not sure it's Python specific.
I'm making the assumption that Q would be around Trump's age, and as such, it could also be a holdover from a language like ADA, used heavily by the government in the 80's. ADA used underscores in numbers much like commas to group numbers and values into more readable clusters, and many of the important DoD systems are still running old ADA code.
I'm not trying to make a judgement on your hypothesis. It is an interesting thought.
I'm just saying if you do want to investigate this idea, you need to expand your analysis to hundreds of different programming languages, of which Python is merely one option. There are others which could also be possibilities.
In order to proceed, you'd need to identify a usage pattern and see if it matched a style in any of them.
VHDL is a language very similar to Ada ... it is commonly used for logic synthesis these days. The language is used to model digital systems. It's relative, Verilog, has similar syntax/concepts.
Good points. That's why I called on computer programmers. I know nothing about computer programming or the languages. This was just an attempt to figure out why that specific formatting is being used. More eyes from people who know more about it or those who are more capable to dive into this. May spark something for someone who can further expand on it or find something related.
I slept on all this- I'm not a native programmer but do some, have read and debugged a bunch from way back pascal, c-+-+, fortran, python, sql, haha, .net mostly. I don't recognize anything that would tell me there is anything we could compile, but I woke up today with the thought that this structure might be suggestive rather than actual.
As in a clue that there is AI contributing to Q posts.
Wait till we learn who is speaking to us here.
Just an impression.
Snake casing can be used for programming, but the purpose is primarily because you can't use spaces so there a a few ways to make these variables readable, one is snake casing. Another might be pascal. Colons are also used in a few languages but variables just store info, so I don't hink there is really much here.
Here's a snippet from my favorite Python book.
Getting started: Why Do People Use Python?
For many, Python’s focus on readability, coherence, and software quality in general sets it apart from other tools in the scripting world. Python code is designed to be readable, and hence reusable and maintainable—much more so than traditional scripting languages. The uniformity of Python code makes it easy to understand, even if you did not write.

should we discuss your red flags?
As variables?
Interesting idea. I'm not an expert on this. I know people have attempted to decode these things in different ways, nothing seems to fit perfectly. I have thought perhaps it's either not for 'us' to understand, but inside comms, or something like that. Or perhaps it's just stylistic, in the sense that it has a visual impact and has the 'super secret insider classified spy information' aesthetic.
Interesting angle .... with informative snippets in the thread!
Maybe figure out which computer language the NSA and DIA uses in their mainframes. I think Q was an intel dude from the military and once you can backtrack the language these types of military organizations utilize, maybe then you can see which language best fits this post's parameters.
... i would change ' was' to 'is '
