I really hope we don't optimise for a webview-first future. I personally find reading large pieces of text on a screen uncomfortable at best, and painful at worse. I want to be able to print out any scientific or academic documents, an

Perhaps some implementation might consider 0 to be a 'NULL' value, assume it's null data and thus ignore it.

Yes, there are big data opportunities, and yes, they're already being done! companies do (regularly) get contracted to provide analysis of the data, however they have to stay within a strict set of data protection rules, and are highly

As for 2, I'm currently studying at a university that this occurred in, I'm not sure if it was the same one, however mine was in the north east of England. One of the reasons that was given (and which I felt was totally reasonable

That's the point! Using the algebra from the article: (1 - 1 + 1 - 1 ...) = 0 + (1 - 1 + 1 - 1 ...) and therefore: (1 - 1 + 1 - 1 ...) = (0 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 ...) And as they're mathematically the same (again, in the article's

That's the definition of a compiler though, "A compiler is a computer program (or set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target lang

I was responding to the parent comment, who referred to Soldat as being open source. EDIT: though I've now realised that my reading comprehension is really lacking - he was referring to teeworlds, my bad!

I didn't think it was open source though? According to wikipedia it's shareware, with further features opened up upon registration? Regardless, it is a great game!

Quite a lot! However, quite a lot of them aren't exactly writing for consumers, but for the business market.

What good did Thatcher bring? Honestly? I can't really think of anything. The closest you could come to "good" would be to transitioning from an industry based economy to a service based economy. As narrow as you might think

After all, Thatcher did so much good for the UK didn't she? I mean, destroying more or less all heavy industry, and building up an untenable financial sector backing for the economy was a great idea wasn't it? Oh, and of course, i

But that's entirely against the point of the article! If you're employing people, they're not getting a chance to improve - just scrape by.

This is interesting - and more importantly, is there any part of the ethernet standard they don't support? I only ask, as at my university there were a number of networks that students simply couldn't connect to if they used any

You can also get specifically low powered attiny chips as well, so a cr2032 would be more than sufficent to power it for a number of months.

>(I'm not talking about someone with a PhD in Physics here) But that's kind of the point isn't it? We should judge people on their qualifications and achievements, not their age.

I also suspect (given others comments that it's a private school) that when they do have lessons, they have very small class sizes, making it far easier to learn/be taught.

by 14113 13y ago
Ah, interesting. Of course, you can do the same thing in one for loop in C like so: for(i=0,j=0;i<10;j=(j+1)%5, j==0?i++:){ } Not that you ever would of course, but it does demonstrate the power of for loops in C.

I thing the problem here is you're comparing apples to oranges - the people writing code in the 70's are not the same type of people teaching students to code now. In the 70's it would have been physicists, mathematicians or

Just from the first paragraph, I genuinely thought it was a parody of your typical startup "We're building X, but for Y market" newspeak.

Very interesting! I'm also implementing a programming language for my undergrad dissertation (but specifically for agent based simulations). The thing that struck me most about vector was the radically different for loops (compared to

In this case though, it does make sense. For this example we're not talking about surveillance, but about intellectual property takedowns, something which american companies find (slightly) harder to do in countries other than the USA.
