Perhaps the collapse happens when all the quantum fields are activated at a particular point in their coordinate system. I.e. if we have 3 fields, with respective coordinates [0, 1, 2], [1, 2, 3] and [2, 3, 4], a particle emerges only when

While I understand that an interactive environment could be useful in a lot of cases, in other cases it might just be in the way...for example, when I am designing an API, usually I don't need any sort of visualization...on the other h

Greek here. This is achieved while in lots of areas locals deny building of any sort of clean energy source, claiming it will mess up the natural beauty of the scenery, will mess up birds, etc. Greece could have a lot more renewables if it

I couldn't agree more. I currently work on a web application that uses Spring Boot and Vaadin and it sucks a million miles. Spring sucks separately from Vaadin, which sucks another million miles. The whole thing with beans and annotati

The design error is that the applications that bind to privileged ports should be privileged as well. It is correct design to guard ports with privileges. Not every application should be able to write out to any port and read from any port.

I actually was part of the discussion of programming language design on that site before over a decade ago, but the anti-OO and especially the anti-C & anti-C++ sentiment was so strong, I was forced to quit. They openly ridiculed anyone

It is a nice app because it follows desktop app standards: a menu bar on top, floating windows, a document area, toolbars around it etc. It may be a little slower than native desktop apps, but that is to be expected, since it relies upon an

Rust is undoubtedly a step forward in correctness, but boy, the article's code is so thick that for me, that I am a C++ programmer, is almost unreadable, especially for a quick reading... I skipped all the code and only read the text.

This is not about GUIs, it's about OpenSSL. I.e. how complex it is.

Before discussing chaos in QM, I'd like someone more knowledgeable than me to explain a few things to me, if you don't mind, of course: 1) how do we know particles act as/are waves? the double slit experiments does not seem t

To have so many problems with dangling pointers, Google must be doing something wrong with its C++ coding. It's amazing to me that they spend so much time trying to circumvent these issues instead of solving the core problems with thei

One side of the issue is gun availability. The other side is that the American culture has a toxic side which can drive lonely young men to perform despicable acts. Imagine being a lonely young boy, growing up getting bullied all the time,

Now all we need is an open source c++ GUI library that allows us to write cross platform code with ease.

In the 80s/90s, I pirated a lot of software for Amiga/PC, because it was either unavailable or expensive for me. Nowadays I don't bother pirating anything, for two reasons: a) I don't feel comfortable any more to steal m

Regarding Rust's compilation slowness, wouldn't a Rust interpreter be a good solution for developing code? A Rust interpreter would drastically cut down slow compilation times, and then when the final product is needed, the Rust c

There is some middle ground between data-oriented design and OOP: just organize your objects in such a way that: a) objects of the same type occupy continuous blocks in memory, b) messages are passed to objects of the same type, then to obj
