If I were to create 300 instances of something with actual func^H^H^H^H methods attached, rather than 3 instances, I would probably look into creating a prototype and coping with the perils of “this” usage, but otherwise, I’m not going to l

Yes, especially if the result is only used in a small number of nearby places, which is usually the case. My IDE can easily infer the properties of such objects, as well as display the JSDoc for such properties.

On the one hand, I hear what you are saying, but on the other hand, I share the original poster’s frustration with what seems to be a culture that wants to force Simula 67 / C++ / Java as the last word on how everything MUST be do

So, they’re both wrong? (Samsung and Apple) I like headphones And enough edges to hold the thing without pressing on the screen. Having dead spots at the edges of the screen is not a solution.

And in my case, less Java I have to read or write on the back end :-) I agree, though - it’s much easier to reason about the data integrity and security when there is a smaller code base on the back end, by virtue of splitting user interfac

"more exotic" :-) OK, hardcore studio level stuff. Yeah, that's a bit beyond my hobby "Behringer" type stuff. Recently upgraded from 2-in/4-out to 4-in/4-out. Still plenty of bandwidth on USB 2 for that.

I also used to run DR DOS decades ago to avoid MS then, too.

Bingo. Its worth a few hundred dollars to me to never see MS Windows again. And I can’t run my music hobby software on Linux, at least not easily.

And it still has real USB A ports so you don’t have to hop your audio interface through a C to A dongle thing. Though I don’t know if a C->A adapter is just rerouting wires, or has circuits with their own latency - either way, it’s a bi

There’s a certain amount of irony (iron-y?) that heavy fissionable materials are formed when fusion stalls: the core of a large star is turned into iron, fusion “goes out”, then the star collapses and goes supernova. Heavier elements are

C++: it feels so good when the beating stops Maybe object Pascal or rust for the less masochistic? I’m ok with C if need be.

Re: use of map / filter type stuff. Yep. Had a coworker like that recently. Loved “simple” code, chock full of mutable data everywhere, where everything was written out a good 3 or 4 times longer than I would have liked to see it. I

The back ticks function as parens, effectively. The function receives multiple arguments, NOT a single string. Think “sprintf”. And semicolons are just noise :-)

I was ready to hate on it too, until I learned (in the comments here, NOT the article) that this is a special syntax for doing something like a C var-args function - first a template parameter, then the variable list of values. The function

For sure. Something like this might be useful to explore the Oort Cloud / Kuiper Belt, but I don’t expect to see anything like a star probe built in my lifetime. Might be interesting to couple laser powered “solar” panels with an ion

by Roboprog 8y ago
Oh, on the ground? I thought the article mentioned having the lasers in orbit, presumably to avoid atmospheric blurring. So it’s not just things in orbit that are targets, it’s stuff on the ground, as well. Be the first on your block to ha

Agreed. I much prefer the style that Anders H. went with in C# of unchecked exceptions and the recommendation to have a single “catcher” at the top of a main event handler/loop spot in the code. Rather than catch littered everywhere,
