I don't agree with a lot of what Steve stood for, but he was right about this dynamic range observation.
Cheers =)
- eropple 3y agoI don't think that's true at all. I think most "CS majors" would need to study how to do those things, but none of them are conceptually difficult and build on the same algorithmic and data structures knowledge you learn for other tasks. I never built a compiler until I did. I never built an operating system until I did. (I don't remember when I started doing computer graphics, though, because that was a long time ago.)
- Joel_Mckay 3y agoSure, one could spend a semester learning to build a rudimentary compiler, or watch your prof build a better solution in under 37 lines of Prolog. Wish I was joking here... =)
- gleenn 3y agoDo you have a link to their project? Rich Hickey also always reiterates that Simple isn't Easy. Knowing exactly how something works means you can express it in as concise a way as possible.
