This is where my knowledge gets weak; but, isn't this the type of programming that Ada and various languages that have a matching system are built around? You have a function that returns an enum and you have to match all the different

That whole article was an introduction to this: https://gist.github.com/mikermcneil/be8ced394c53edd92e57 which, to me, was a bit hard to realize in the article that it was a link.

Doesn't Apple use Webkit, same as Google? Isn't that functionally the same, except for Google's optimizations?

The numbers are backward for English-speaking countries, which I find interesting, but I'll reference them based on the numbers I see given: 17: I like it. It's a bit of a double-edged sword though, as sometimes people pause video

I wonder how close to true random we would approach if several people had automated scripts sending 1's or 0's to the script? What about if they were sending a random string themselves? What if they were sending a script that anal

30 is still a very painful accident for a pedestrian; but, yes, ideally there'd be less pedestrian incidents... [1, random thought footnote] That said, most of the things I was suggesting had more to do with highway situations, where I

Before we get speed cameras, I would rather have: * always use blinker when turning / change lanes cameras * turn your lights on: * 30 minutes from dusk / dawn * when it's raining cameras * bik

"let the traffic engineers run simulations and adjust those limits to maximize flow and minimize accident rates" Wasn't there a discussion about how it's hard to raise a speed limit in an area? If the safe / max flo

"city driving" Then we get into the argument of what constitutes city driving and that gets fun. What's a city. Is a road connecting two roads a city road? What if it has side-walks or a bike lane? What about the small town t

So I find this interesting; and, I'm glad they provided at least this statistic: Vehicle crashes near cameras declined 3.9% Crashes with injuries near cameras declined 13.4% If that's the case, I'm pleased. That&#x

In the article, it talks about how they do everything by hand, literally by hand, not using any tools. Why don't they use livestock for their work? It seems ... inefficient. Other countries didn't have electricity for a long, long

When I think of an accountant, I'm thinking of the kinds of ones that do company structuring. And, congratulations, you can find people who are willing to do voice over work quickly. That doesn't mean it doesn't take a lot of

"Or it just erodes your self confidence until you're committing fixes that miss obvious details which then goes to production and breaks things" I read your statement earlier and I wanted to get to a keyboard before I respond

Feel free to tell voice-over artists and other actors that their jobs are following basic instructions. Same with sales, managers and tax accountants.

150ms is an incredible number, and the volume of satellites required will also increase bandwidth. This seems like a good situation to be in all around. I hope he succeeds at this work.

Is this bad? It's a site to see what's currently trending on Twitter. I figured it'd update more often, actually

by mytochar 12y ago
Yes, really. In one or two tiny tweets and maybe a hashtag from someone there. It may not be a big event; but, "acronym #hashtag-describing-event" is a thing. And that would be "happens on twitter" in Twitter terms.

For those of you hunting to see the length of the cable like I was, it's 15,600 km long. I wish they'd provided a top-down view rather than a lateral view like they did, since that would make more sense and have the image look sho

That's so incredibly true! But, I'd rather have the passing lane appear periodically than not. One of my favorite roads in Washington State is Highway 2. On this road, we have the periodic passing lane, at least when we're go

I found this part particularly interesting, for strange reasons: "now less than 0.25% of drivers tested are over the alcohol limit" Why are they testing those other 399 people (0.25% = 1 in 400)? Driving while drowsy? drunk drivin

I honestly didn't know that until it was mentioned in another part of this thread. My point was that someone can memorize the formula. Chances are, they'll see the matrix form and actually know how to use that in other situations.

by mytochar 12y ago
Personally, I think the matrix powers method is more impressive. You're using the matrix as a state engine to get to whatever state you intend to reach. That has more applications than just the closed form, which a lot of people know a

Unless you want to make games, then it's not such a bad idea. Get a few AAA titles under your belt and go hunt for the company that you want to work for. Money isn't everything, some people just want to work in the gaming industry
