We’re making it out of Cupertino with this one.
So true, tale as old as time. Someone “raises doubts” based on partial knowledge of the subject, they go back and forth with someone, and then finally someone comes in with conversation-killing “what is consciousness anyways” type comment
Re:Why Not Just Do Simple C++ RAII in C? on Thursday May 23, 2024 @04:06AM (#40451908)
I think OP meant discarding public/private constructs entirely, no protection, like in python.

69th edition would be sacred
Also in microservices land you could have the service doing its business logic but needing to support a server for metrics and/or debugging. Just piling on, this is good to study :)
Re:SQLite B-Tree Module on Sunday April 03, 2022 @02:34PM (#30899405)
I would be interested in hearing more about how you deploy. I’m guessing the zip has the application(s) and SQLite is for configuration?
(I couldn’t help but look at your profile) And then what motivated your move from software to law?
Re:“I made an operating system UI within Unity” on Monday February 10, 2020 @03:39PM (#22293016)
I tried making the original Macintosh OS in Godot and my takeaway was it was really enjoyable to make UIs in a game engine. It would be interesting to see some “avant-garde” movement of making not only games but native apps using game engines.
Re:The Video Game Software Wizardry of Id (2002) on Wednesday September 27, 2017 @07:55PM (#15353414)
Oh that's my mistake. I thought by the description "left", it meant "yes, bottom to top but for each row, read left to right". Thanks!
Re:The Video Game Software Wizardry of Id (2002) on Wednesday September 27, 2017 @07:43PM (#15353356)
I was fairly young when these games came out but could someone confirm with me that the first collage of game screenshots are mirrored backwards? They say [bottom to top, left] but it looks like they have it flipped. Like Wolfenstein 3D (left), Hovertank (right) and Quake (left), Doom (right).
Re:What is “Open Recursion”? on Tuesday July 18, 2017 @07:06PM (#14800745)
Why does get/set need to see increment? They don't call increment...
You can diversify and allocate funds to stocks/bonds in a way that suits your risk tolerance and financial goals.

The day trader who picked up the $20, ecstatic from his arbitrage win, puts down on the ground a $100 hoping for larger gains.
Re:Revolution Pi – Industrial PC Based on Raspberry Pi on Saturday May 27, 2017 @02:47AM (#14429191)
I saw that you mentioned running Hadoop/Spark on your cluster? Do you have any comments on that? I just made a 3 node RPi3 cluster and I have to admit, it's really slow. Like getting the spark Scala interpreter running takes about a minute before anything I type registers in the console. (NOte: this is my own cluster not a PicoCluster TM)
How much does all this cost you per month?
Re:Best Practices for ML Engineering from Google [pdf] on Tuesday January 17, 2017 @12:07PM (#13419138)
Great resource. I have a chrome extension http://compakt.nhatqbui.com where I naively added ML features but it was too inconsistent. I now understand the cautioned approach the guide advises on adding ML to a product.
Re:Show HN: A redesigned Wikipedia on Tuesday January 17, 2017 @12:25AM (#13415383)
I typed 'c++', hit 'Enter', clicked on second article titled 'c++', and got the article for the letter 'c'.
As I read through this thread, I'm wondering what the "new" programming languages are and specifically, which are being used in production.
Re:Closure Compiler in JavaScript on Tuesday December 06, 2016 @11:55PM (#13120552)
Thanks! I'm fairly new to JS. I introduced a new dependency on a node module and for some reason gulp-uglify isn't working on production mode. I'm going to give this a try.
Re:On 2016 Apple: What do “Pro” users want? on Wednesday November 16, 2016 @04:30PM (#12971750)
Anybody know of a laptop+OS combo that can give me the same fluid navigation of windows/workspaces as OS X?

That has always been the best feature for me: snappy, fast, fluid window/workspace navigation with the 3-finger swipe. Great for going back and forth between docs and the IDE (split-screen makes texts too small for my 13").

Quite the pre-reqs...

This is awesome. But how is `time_delay` used?

> I skimmed documentation of Python after people told me it was fundamentally similar to Lisp. My conclusion is that that is not so. `read', `eval', and `print' are all missing in Python.

Maybe I'm getting lost in the semantics but doesn't Python have a REPL a la the interpreter?

I can't agree with this more. Coming from C/C++, I was hindered by worrying about memory management and building everything from scratch. Python and its standard library just allowed me to wrap my head around algorithms.
Re:Show HN: Wave function collapse algorithm on Friday September 30, 2016 @03:57PM (#12614875)
It's C#. I'm not familiar with it which is why I was surprised that after downloading Visual Studio Tools, I opened Developer Command Prompt, I did a `csc *.cs` and I was left with one nice executable, Main.exe.
