As somebody who is afraid of types (and also, who hates types, because we all hate what we fear), may my point of view serve as balance: you don't need a type system if everything is of the same type. Programming in a type-less style

you can put them in the same repository, if that is your thing. If you put the build files in a .builds/ folder at the root of your repository, they will be run upon each commit. Just like in github or gitlab. You are just not forced

I rarely ^U nowadays, but your site was so clean that I couldn't resist! Just as a side note : when writing html5 by hand, you can use the full power of the language, most notably optional tags (no need to write html, body, etc) and au

The html source is beautiful, did you write it by hand?

Ackshually, it has nothing to do with the C language. It's an implementation choice by some compilers. A conforming implementation could give you the whole RAM and swap to your stack.

Ultimately, objects are always drawn in the screen by setting pixels into it. Plotting a point by setting a pixel is entirely reasonable, and can be indeed done directly, in realtime, for several millions of points. I just tested the C p

by enriquto 2y ago
Of course you can! The screen of my laptop has nearly 3 million points (2160x1350) and I can do a fair amount of processing on each of its pixels, with one CPU thread, and still be above 30fps. A naive plotting method that loops over all t

In theory, this is a compiler implementation detail. The compiler may chose to put large stacks in the heap, or to not even use a stack/heap system at all. The semantics of the language are independent of that. In practice, stack siz

it's a fairly common usage in numeric computing. If you read, for example, the wikipedia entries for "computational fluid dynamics" you'll see that they consistently speak of "codes" when referring to programs

But why do you want to fit the whole dataset in memory? If the dataset is stored in a tiled and multi-scaled representation you need to only grab the part of it that is needed to fit your screen (which is a constant , small amount of data

sort of agree... but only because you can gron it to remove the madness and then grep/cut/sed/awk the output like a human being. JSON is just a modern flavor of XML, and in a few years we'll likely mock both of them as i
