Have you heard of people using Nintendo switch controllers in modeling programs like this?

Yes, they are. Enjoy and be astounded by the scale of it.

From the outside none of this makes much sense. So the old board just disliked him enough to oust him but apparently didn’t have a good pulse on the company and overplayed their hand?

The way that really clarified things for me was buying a 3d printer(an Ender 3 for me) and a Raspberry Pi. Setting it up and flashing a new OS to it should basically teach you the rudimentary workings of the hardware->software interface.

You are allowed to think that and in some ways they are, but both exist due to problems in C itself. Lack of interest in evolving C at a reasonable pace has left the standard catching up to the implementations where there is no such ideolog

GCC switched to C++ for the same reason Linux uses C extensions; the base language doesn’t adequately support the target problem domain.

It’s simplest explanation is that dependent types are types whose exact type use some kind of parameterized value in the definition. So a dependently typed array would use a parameterized length value as part of it’s definition(this is usua

Types, like many things in life, only matter once you are in a situation where you could really use them(or would sidestep a certain kind of problem…) If you are in one of those, and more importantly don’t realize it, that is when you reall

My favorite? When Von Neumann(an Austrian aristocrat) walked into his oral exam, Hilbert asked another of the admistrators who his tailor was.

I think Microsoft learned their lesson last time trying to make the Xbox One into a media/gaming solution and just stick to video games now. I also wonder about how much money they see in that, too. Most people don’t give a shit about

When I actually think about it, yeah, they 100% are. Nintendo is one of the few companies I can think of that has had as much success as Apple, for arguably a longer time. The NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, GC flopped, Wii, Wii U flopped, Switch.

>Apple has a far stronger and more recognizable brand than Nintendo so I’m not sure why you believe it would be sullied by an acquisition This just isn’t true.

Agreed. They don’t know what to do with xbox yet think they can steer Nintendo or valve(let alone manage to purchase them.)

From that story is sounds like MacBasic wasn’t a priority at all to Apple, even on the Mac team. The fact they let MacBasic slip from the launch window is a pretty big red flag, I’d be interested to hear why Bryan Stearns decided to leave(I

If sociology or history degrees doled out management positions the way MBAs somehow do I guarantee you they would be met with derision. It’s like making fun of politicians, it happens because they are often inappropriately given power.

Forking is usually good for the community around a piece of software but I struggle to find who made this argument originally

Except this was in connection with Battlefield 3, a title you’d have to buy. So it’s more like buying the arcade machine but somebody still takes quarters from you anyway.

I don't really get how this gets made. Instant cameras do not cost $500+

IMO this is just not a great example on either side. As others have pointed out, the Julia implementation was refined to be 8x faster. The Mojo code has to run the CPython interpreter to run numpy.

He mentions his credentials(or lack thereof) as the first thing in the video. Did you even look at the video for a second?

Others have shown that your degenerate example really does optimize it all away, but I'll just say that we really do exist in a theoretical fairy dust C++ spec environment, because when we compile a piece of code we compile it against

You should look into the copy & patch efforts underway for Python[0]; an actual JIT will probably never exist but I think c&p has a shot of being mainlined in the next few years, such that Python could dynamically choose to either r
