Thanks! Take care.

Mate of mine wants to be a writer and he baaadly needs a third party to give him feedback so I read this in hope. There is nothing here of value for anything. It's about two grouchy old men, strongly opinionated both, their oddities, a

I screwed up and I must apologise. I took a bad situation and made it worse. I have reasons but it shouldn't have happened. I am not happy that I clearly and unnecessarily annoyed you, and would prefer that we put out this fire and mov

That's a very interesting point and perhaps worth expanding on (although what's a '4-position'?) but tangential to mine which was purely about general value representations that have to be constrained to finite.
515.
by zasdffaa 4y ago
That's an inevitability of the word size, not a fault. Try finding a representation with a fixed length that doesn't. Edit: that's not quite right, for a limited scale, fixed point will do, but if you need wider range than ca

Serious note, I have worked on interfaces in pascal on a 80286 in that period, and the UI performance was crisp.

As elsewhere, yours is definitely not the case I was disputing but as UIs are not my area in the way you are clearly familiar with them, a question: What kind of application are you doing your UI for that can use all the cores?

But should they be writing highly concurrent software, without thinking bloody hard first I mean? I can see this being the next Big Data or NoSQL 'must have' bandwagon.

Very informative, thank you

Guy makes concrete suggestions, you respond with abstract rebuttals that add up to "it's too hard". All he's saying is low-hanging fruit is pluckable; pluck it.

Symbolics was a tagged arch, not OO. Ditto Burroughs. They were not OO. Dunno about dorado.

It's a rant and it's not information heavy. I've never heard of this processor (and provide a link, don't tell me to look it up). Other OO processors: Rekursiv ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rekursiv

Tip: forget the bread knife. Just get a normal straight-edged knife and keep it sharp. Once it's through the crust it will cut as well as a bread knife (actually better, because it's easy to keep a straight edge sharpened which yo

Something's odd. If you go to https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abn1104#supplemen... and download the movies, they come zipped. If you unzip and compare the sizes, zipped ~8.72MB, unzipped 10.2MB. So

I can't see it how you saw it. Me + brother watched it and thought it was 'disappointing' (me) and 'idiotic' (him). But to each their own. The 'heavy on philosophy' - what do you refer to. The trope about

I laughed then I stopped in a kind of shock because I realised that's becoming a sane and reasonable question.

Thanks, yeah, did a big search for DT stuff this morning and found this one. The S/Z is the zero/successor. I need to study it. Perhaps closer to what I originally saw was this https://gist.github.com/bradphelan&#x

Thanks! I guess what you are describing looks - from my very limited experience with scala - as a path-dependent type. If I'm right. I'm actually talking about C# because I'm working in it and I'd like to make some compi

by zasdffaa 4y ago
Ouch! But thanks! I'll have a good chew over this evening. I know it's possible to have DT in C#, I think your literal of '3' in the above example is constructed using the successor function (well, its moral equivalent)

> wand.cast(…) is a lot more brittle That's not how it works. Multiple dispatch looks like a normal procedure call, it would look like cast(item, user) or if you need to know it was raining cast(item, user, worldstate
