That is good to hear! I will check out GAE next time.

It would be cool if there were resources for just doing the systems and encounter design. Most of graphics and engine programming seems easy enough (just time consuming) and there are plenty of existing engines. Always wonder how RPGs or or

This is why I have always been scared of GAE. Seems like the only thing that works precisely like GAE is GAE :) True unit tests though ought be runnable outside GAE since your code should not be coupled with GAE if it is unit testable. You

An interesting idea but wouldn't this require a universal interpreter and format to decode to? Seems a like certain things on the web already. Just the bounds on what the "file" is are a bit messy.

Probably totally wrong but here is what I took away: It kind of reminds me of bounded contexts like the ones from http://martinfowler.com/bliki/BoundedContext.html When being complex information systems you ended with

The more interesting question to me is if a good enough copy can be made that is functionally same and what that means. Reminds me of the Ship of Theseus but with the human body/brain.

No idea if this would work but I wonder if some kind of profit sharing plan would make more sense than equity for these cases. That way people still get the big payoff but get to keep control of the place they like working at.

Yeah I suppose at this point the graph falls apart since even the prospect of writing new perl code does not sound fun to me but I am sure could be fun to someone.

I would contend that java should be considerably lower on the fun scale. Maybe they are counting other languages that target the JVM? Also perl is apparently as fun for humans python which I also find suspect after maintaining perl 5.x code

Wow that is significantly better than my mainland connection but I live in a rural college town right now (also TWC). What is the upload like? Also do you have issues with latency or other network performance issues with the mainland? I hav

I will have to try Go again. It seemed really awesome at first then quickly seemed like a regression in a lot of PL design things (which is good in some cases). I personally like rust but maybe I am a glutton for type based punishment. Sol

Given a lot commenters seem to be working remotely, what sort of internet speeds are you getting or any other challenges you have run into? I am thinking of potentially working out of Kauai or Hawaii but I am concerned about internet connec

I have never actually abused Ritalin by snorting it or taking it for fun so I have no idea but at my older age the diet issues seem to be less of an issue, when I was in high school it was quite problematic. As far as sleep goes I find that

Looking at the other posts it looks I am confused about what constitutes an amphetamine? I guess I am fine if people want to be pedantic.

by robohamburger 10y ago
I use Ritalin to treat my ADHD and that was my reaction as well. I have developed a thick skin over the years to the FUD around amphetamines. I can also see how dangerous it could be taking a drug like this without getting the dosage calcul

Agreed (though for me it was a bit longer than a week)! Knowing when to use borrowing over owned copies I think is vital as well. Once I started planning out what was going to own what my code became a lot simpler and I spent less time figh

Thanks for mentioning algol and cobol! Its easy to forget these languages since they are mostly used on mainframes. Algol used to be language you submitted things to the ACM in I think and is the systems programming language of the MCP, whi

Yes, when you combine this thinking with thinking about the real world in a holistic manner you basically unlock programming super powers :) Some what tangentially related, hammock driven development: https://www.youtube.com&#x2F

I imagine it depends on the person. I spent a long time programming (but not professionally) before taking CS and I doubt I ever would have taken it upon myself to learn those things. I could probably muddle along with out them but it chang

by robohamburger 10y ago
Couldn't agree more but I think bootcamps could probably steal some of the magic that CS has. I spent years programming as an amateur/hobbyist and I thought I knew it all. When I started studying discrete maths and functional prog

I took ocaml for a spin a couple months ago and compared to more recently created languages it seems a bit crufty. If they can simplify the build system to be on par with something like cargo that would be swell. Also: having rust style tra

I agree! I have a hard time focusing on something that is purely academic unless said academic thing seems to have a property I want to explore on my own or use to build something. I got several C's in calculus because I was too busy m

Is this strictly for building shippable software or any time you need collision? Maybe I am just a web programmer who is really bad at math and programming but this seems like a crazy thing to rewrite for many projects. Even if it only take

by robohamburger 10y ago
This seems like a really good idea. Otherwise brilliant and highly trained humans make mistakes. Any process or plan that requires everything going perfect as the only acceptable outcome seems like a terrible one.

by robohamburger 10y ago
Yes! At this point I have come to accept that there will be many annoyances in any programming language. Seeing how sophisticated clojure is compared to python makes me weep however.

by robohamburger 10y ago
Ah I misunderstood! Thinking about it a bit more and given how heavily rust uses generics it seems like having an ABI that is at all usable by another higher level language might be challenging. I guess there is always compiler plugins thou
118.
by robohamburger 10y ago
What will be interesting is when rust gets its own ABI. There is an rfc for it even: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/600 Hopefully if such a thing exists you could link directly to a rust library fro

Another reason to make 2d games with haxe! It already has some great frameworks and libraries for it. So its great from a practical perspective if you want to build something like that. I have found the language to be a bit quirky. Its powe

It would be great if the author of the post expounded on the good libraries to use. In the couple of false starts I have had with clojure I spent most of my time evaluating libraries instead of writing code. Also: Seeing what clojure consid
