He's talking about the fact that older compilers used to get confused if you happened to open/close multiple template tags in sequence; i.e. "<<" or ">>". These were mistaken for operators, and the

This article is probably one of the reasons why C++ gets the reputation it has. Please do not program like this. Aside from the fact that this is C++98, which lacks tons of features now widely accepted and useful in C++, the code in this ar

Really? I used it for the past four years with no problems whatsoever. I used it since I linked a VoIP number to a landline in order to be called for free from my parents with no tech hassle. What kind of problems did you have? Usually its

Linphone (VoIP) works beautifully, is free software and is cross-platform (also works on android). It's also lightweight and personally I find the quality of calls to be superior to Skype.

In essence, they are used to allow template writers to easily put constraints on the type parameters that their templates require, and provide better diagnostics to users of template classes when they try to instantiate a template with the

Sure, sure, but I don't know, personally it feels sloppy. Renaming namespaces to shorten them feels ok, as is importing specific names. Bringing in the whole shazam gives the impression that the person who was writing didn't reall

I don't agree on the general usage of "using namespace std", so that part does not bother me. For an even shorter init: > std::vector<unsigned> counts(sevens.size());

You mean data-fitting? Possibly (every problem can be modeled as an MDP) but it's definitely not the most efficient nor the most intuitive way to go about it, so I wouldn't recommend it.

I actually have a video [0] and code [1] of the first (which was a one-month project), while the second is my thesis which is going to be finished soon. Maybe I'll post them as a separate entry one day, but I always think these things

Shameless self-promotion post: if you're interested in AI based on Markov, I maintain an open-source library here https://github.com/Svalorzen/AI-Toolbox . It can be used for general autonomous agents which need to

I'm not a car expert, but wouldn't the fact that the engine takes time to heat up mean that it is more efficient?

I believe that the main problem is not allocation time (games already have loading times, that's not a problem), but fast access and not breaking the cache.

Are you hoping to accomplish something with this comment or are you just having a bad morning and need to vent?

It seems to me that you simply don't like what C++ stands for, and that's perfectly OK; but then complaining that C++ follows C++ principles seems foolish to me. To quote the original article: > should we be using these low lev

I don't understand how you can say that with a straight face. The ArrayView class is incredibly simple and takes about 10 seconds to understand. The "complex" stuff is in the make_contiguous code, which in the end is simply a

In general, afaik, team strategies are not really developed in depth. This is simply because actually governing the robots is exponentially harder than anything else, and a robot that does not know where it is on the field, where the ball i

Not much; a couple of cameras (which are not in the eyes), a motion sensor, microphone/receiver for audio and a couple of bump sensors. Aldebaran (the company that makes them) provides the robot with a default OS. The main problem is t

The code is not the same; behaviours and inverse kinematics are pretty much never the defaults (they suck). So each team tries to work on things its members are good at, and it seems Australians are particularly good at that.

I don't know whether this is impressive or not. It's not like they took three robots, told them the puzzle and they started thinking and talking. It depends on how they actually implemented it. With prolog it would take 30 minutes

This does not work, for a very simple reason. The same argument the article states can be construed for literally every single topic, from tech to AI to agricolture to fishing to engineering to medical science and so on. So either every sin

So you won't bother reading what other people are saying, and instead will resort to spewing retorts based on your preconceived notions of what other people are stating? You must be a fun person to discuss with. I'd say actually

If I didn't have a choice, I'd have probably abandoned the Linux ship long ago, frustrated with Unity and GNOME 3. Instead, I had one, and I am sincerely happy of that. This article makes it seem like people developing GUIs are at

I don't understand the point about the subset of C++. Nobody is really saying that, they are saying that for most things pointers should not be used, since they would not be needed. But when they are needed, they exist and should be us
