Aren't you the guitarist for the feed dogs?

i do more coding in my head than in an editor, lay in bed staring at the ceiling for a couple hours thinking of different ways to do things. ended up last night spending an hour just thinking on computer memory and how hex editors and game trainers work

i see myself as an 'idea guy' sadly, but at least i know how much people hate that so i've always felt i shouldn't expect people to do something if i can't do it myself, or something like that. be an idea guy that can actually do something with those ideas is i guess what i'm trying to say

no one is going to complain about an ideas guy who pays people a living wage to implement his ideas.

best places/times to get ideas: shower, bed before falling asleep, bed while waking up.


Apparently it's because those are idle places, where your brain can relax, away from an overload of stimuli.

what were some of your guys first projects? i like programming and using it when i need to deal with something a calculator can't do (windows calculator anyways) but i don't really have much interest in anything outside of that. maybe i should try giving project euler another go now that i understand a bit more than i did.

yeah this is why i can understand why people hate idea guys, if you can't do the work yourself or aren't willing to put in the work yourself you shouldn't ask others to do it for you unless you're going to offer a competitive wage. most of my ideas are kind of silly anyways, like when i was looking at the telepresence stuff from Cisco i wondered if it would be possible to project it onto a screen like they did with that tupac hologram and what might be involved in doing that. another idea was when google glass was first being announced i wondered if it would be possible to create a game that places enemies in your environment based on GPS or something, i'm unsure how you would deal with objects such as trees and stuff without some sort of rangefinding system but i found it at least interesting to think about how it would be done

i actually have a dell mini 9 i got years ago with linux on it, i've been meaning to put something other than ubuntu on it, what's the current favorite for low RAM (1GB i think) machines for linux?

also i've been wanting to get a whiteboard to write on while i'm pacing around thinking about things

Whiteboard markers work on both tile, glass, and mirrors.

another random thought, with touch interface becoming more commonplace, do any of you think people may start to design visual programming languages or some way of doing these tasks made to work with a touch interface?

...

I could only see a visual programming language being 'usable' on a 'known set' of situations. The rub with most APIs, frameworks, etc is that they work fine when you use them for what they are made but when a 'completely new' situation comes up for which you have to program for is when things get tricky.

also devil's advocate, I feel like 'completely new' situations happen less and less now a days and if this is correct it is a good indicator that a visual programming language could handle more situations thus more likely become a reality .however I am just an ignorant rookie programmer so I really don't know poo poo and you shouldn't listen to me

i expect that we'll see some interesting UIs to navigate and edit source code but the killer for visual programming languages has always been trying to do what writing systems already do and have been refined for centuries to do well

Well yeah, it's MS's response to Java that came out ~5 years later with the benefit of tons of additional independent R&D.
I like to imagine whenever MS releases their own version of Hadoop it'll be better too.

c# is ok. visual studio sucks. theirs no .net version of maven. sometimes u gotta be aware that the library ur using is actually wrappers around unmanaged code and u gotta be careful to dispose it properly. duck typing is dumb and breeds bad habits. all exceptions being unchecked is stupid.
