the latest how!! thread was neat because it taught me that finding whether a python object is callable or not is halting-problem-equivalent probably python is my favorite language, it has so many hidden gems

I agree with the people here who say that assembly is important to teach people early (to de-mystify computers to some extent), but it probably still shouldn't be first logo should be first logo supremacy e: tef already said this but tef was right

prolog is too magic for me, I have no mental model of how it functions (probably because I only used it once in Programming Languages Class, like half the other people in this thread) clearly the only solution to this is to write more prolog Cybernetic Vermin posted:i simultaneously hope to never be a professional java programmer again (enjoying some hobby python programming atm), and feel that it is obvious that java has more solid thought and engineering behind it than the p-languages v if it takes more boilerplate to write your code, that just must mean that the language is better engineered! all my favorite languages are 90% autogenerated by my IDE, I love reading & editing code written by a machine java is the assembly of 2013 (except with uglier syntax)

Win8 Hetro Experie posted:when you're trying to mold your particular problem into the shape of a vertex shader function feeding data into a geometry shader function feeding data back into another vertex shader function which feeds data into a fragment shader function which finally writes the data as colors to a texture and that's just the first pass and it's not even given that you can read from a texture inside your vextex shader functions, I can sympathize if someone would rather just write the whole thing in C one day, there will be people using an abstraction layer on top of opencl to write graphics code. they will drop down openCL when they want to get "closer to the metal". it is coming.

ratbert90 posted:Because it's incredibly simple and you can learn it in less than one minute? to program, do you need to understand the language your compiler/p-lang interpreter was written in do you need to understand assembly do you need to understand machine code do you need to understand CPU design do you need to understand semiconductor design do you need to understand quantum tunneling the entire point of programming languages is to provide a level of abstraction where, for the most part, you don't need to understand or even know what lies underneath. getting trolled by "ratbert90" itt

Ronald Raiden posted:I like that the example he cited for unethical programming was that thing that was on newsy combinatory recently about some path bug contacting everyone on some dudes contact list. Not any kind of malware or anything, but its really bugs that are unethical. it was explicitly not a bug according to spokespeople, it was 'user error', which is to say not realizing that the app would mine your phonebook & automatically send texts to everyone on it I'm not even kidding quote:Kenwright fell victim to user error, representatives from Path said, and the messages are a feature, not a bug.

tef posted:this would be option c) the noble goal that slowly rots. it just takes a change in management, under pressure from investors or the board to push for more intrusive adverts. yeah, I can see that happening well, I figure we've got a few good years yet. I'll enjoy it while it lasts. p.s. the Hamming talk was very good; I was strongly reminded of Willis' Bellwether* in some parts (particularly the 'change careers every 7 years' bit). wouldn't be surprised if Willis had encountered the talk at some point. also I appreciated the brief appearance of UNIX in the Q&A. funy computer.

Suspicious Dish posted:whats the worst thing youve gotten related to manufactoria mostly I just get a stream of people offering to port the game to iOS/Android/w/e I say 'sure, just give me some of the cash if you make any' and hand them a zip of the source & assets because who gives a gently caress, it's a 3-year-old flash game then they vanish never to be seen again, because the sort of people who email you out of the blue to offer to port your game to a mobile platform are exactly the sort of people who will never do it this surprised me exactly once, when a girl who was going to some kind of music/composition school in England contacted me about composing an original score to Manufactoria we had an actual correspondence, talked for a week or two about cool ways to make a dynamic soundtrack for the game, and then she vanished & was never seen again anyway I'm not sure I've ever gotten actual hate about Manufactoria; there are plenty of people who've complained about bugs (usually justly) or missing features (less so), but never real vituperation, that I recall. maybe the soothing classical score calms people too much to bother sending in their hate? idk.
