If you really insist on having an enum for your directions, what you could do is something like this: (assuming 2s complement and TRUE being ~0) : DIREQ DIRECTION @ = ; : DELTA DIREQ SWAP DIREQ NEGATE + ; : MOVE-SNAKE-HEAD

I've noticed some sloth over the past few days. I'm using google.co.uk. Search results can take a while to appear at times. More common is that when I click on one of the links (which of course are always of the form www.google.co

I've done this sort of thing once, and nearly done it several times more. The time the product was released like that, it was a Makefile setting a rather important flag using ?=, in a sub-Makefile two includes deep, and because that ha

The ATmegas only go up to 16KBytes RAM, with 4KBytes or less being usual. As a Harvard architecture device, none of your binary is memory-mapped, which can make porting existing code a bit annoying. sizeof(int)==2, which doesn't help e

For anybody else that might otherwise have to look it up: Gridiron Football is American Football. The name comes from the layout of the pitch, which looks nothing like a gridiron (which appears to be a type of portable grill). There's

I have friends that always have it active on their TV, and claimed not to mind it. Having watched a few films at their house, I came not to mind it either... at least, not to any distracting extent. Still prefer having it off though. (One f

It wouldn't even need to be multithreaded, I don't thnik. You could have some green threads-type system, using asynchronous I/O, a single-threaded server, and something along the lines of Lua's yieldk. Have a new script

If you live in a country where Christianity is the state religion, you could just disallow the call to prayer on account of the fact it is not Christian. (One advantage of a state religion is that you can do stuff like this. Of course, you

I'd love to know too! I've noticed this happening sometimes when I follow MSDN or MS discussion forum links from Google.

Yes. And don't just think about how messy the homegrown alternatives are - note how much effort people go to add them in! It's just such a useful thing to have - serialization; logging; UI generation; automatic scripting language

Too late to edit, but, looking through the archives, it looks as if I might be incorrect about VS2015: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10278704 Nevertheless, I stand by my comments re VS2013+. If you're accustomed

Visual studio 2013 supports enough C99 that you can get by (VLAs are the main omission). Visual Studio 2015 is supposedly fully conforming.

Our research on the relationship between employee proximity and shareholder returns suggests suggests that optimal return will result from compressing employees into a hypersolid. 0.01mm^3 of employees could then generate between $10e788 a

If the consensus itself is the reward, and all interested parties have a stake in the consensus - which would seem sensible, though I admit the article doesn't say - the incentives don't need to work in the same way. (Of course, b

The comment that Arial is "a not-very-faithful imitation of a typeface that is no longer fashionable" struck me as odd too. "No longer fashionable"? Well, that may have been the case in 2001. I suppose 2001 really must h

I wonder if quick checkups are any less profitable per unit time than doing fillings. Not much in the way of materials required, and you can get a good throughput, with each visit likely to be of predictable duration. (My teeth are in good

Have you asked them for one? VAT receipts need only be issued to VAT-registered buyers, so they might not issue them by default. (I've never dealt with Github, so they might genuinely be being dicks about it.)

Some libraries output them, because the code for writing them is very simple, and you don't need any separate area of memory for managing the compression or whatever.

The main advantage of this sort of font is that you can see the pixels. This may not be to all tastes, but at ~95dpi I find pixelly fonts easier on the eye. The right angles and hard edges seem to make it easier for my eyes to get the right
