Doen't using indexes into arrays introduce, more or less, the same problems with C pointers? after all, a C pointer is an index into a huge array, the current process' memory space.

Now I am even more confused. What is this thing called energy that gives 98% of mass? what is it composed of? is it a field? is it some kind of force? is it composed of particles?

I wouldn't want to use a language that I cannot predict how memory allocation would work. I'd like to have every inch of performance in my disposal for the tasks I am interested in (video games, simulations, data mining).

Homosexuality is disturbing to people because their brain cannot find relevant patterns that have to do with homosexuality-related experiences (sights, images etc). And when the brain doesn't find good pattern matches, it alerts the pe

It's so amazing that MUDs can create such a magical atmosphere to be in! such an atmosphere that it has never been captured by MMORPGs ever!!! I have never played a MUD game but it seems terrifyingly addictive...

How many bullshit does Japan have, I wonder? for as much as I admire them for their achievements I lament them for these strange things. My favorite method of quiting is the following: I enter the manager's office, I say, "I quit&

Respect to one's employees should be total. There shouldn't be respect up to what the majority finds respectful. That the CEO of Riot Games chose to make such an inappropriate remark in a meeting with his employees says that he an

> delicious as a meat-filled diet Isn't that highly subjective? I love meat, but I really doubt any sort of vegetable combination can give me the same taste.

Personally I skim read in order to evaluate the text. If it grabs my attention, then I read it carefully. I read works of art normally, without skimming.

Haven't we realized yet that programs do not have a single flow of execution? each program has a few correct paths, and a few paths resulting from error. Our languages so far pretend there is one correct path, and that the error paths

About the comments, here is a solution that might work: a persistent upvote/downvote score along with a default view filter based on voting. Say you are someone who consistently spews out racist comments? as you are being downvoted, th

C is a perfect language for writing games into; C++ has some extra sauce that makes some things easier, faster to write and more correct. There is no actual need for a new language for writing games; that's why so many, including the a

The way living organisms behave certainly points towards a simple key-value store, where key is the current experience and value is the response.

It doesn't have to explain different infinities. When we talk about infinity, we need to realize the concept of 'never ending', and not anything else.

Greek here. You said: > no collapse of Greek industry. In fact, Greece's industries have collapsed during the late 70s, 80s and 90s, when Greece had the Drachma. The reason is economies of scale: local industries cannot compete with

It would make sense that any information is stored as a key-value pair in the brain. In this case, the key is the sensory input, and the value is the type of surface that is being touched. Could the simplistic key-value pair work in creatin

GUIs are problematic in the same way command line tools are: there is no way to access the internal functionality of both from a programming language. Programs should come in three levels: 1) libraries, so anyone can make a program off them
