Why is this phrased as a hypothetical question?

Not sure I agree. I listened to a handful of the books that MS encoded. I would not be able to listen to a full book like that. It's just not quite right - the timing is fixed and …

And therefore you are rewarding and validating this behavior, so that content authors continue to pile on more and worse ads.

I concur with a lot of what other people are saying here. Late 50s, programming professionally for around 25 years. But recently switched to management. Really hard for me to focus…

LIke: - Decent speed of compiling and execution. - Expressiveness. - I like the struct/receiver/interface interplay to create an analog of classes. - Nice standard library. - Cross…

I've also had very good luck with cairographics bindings in multiple languages. For python there is pycairo. But it does require installing the native cairographics libs on your sy…

as mentioned, pygame seems a common goto lib. Though it does a lot more than just graphics and animation, it does seem to be good with those too.

very nice. just purchased!

Series author here. To respond to some of the comments... Making it interactive with a repl would be great, I agree. I've thought about going down that route a few times in the pas…

Thanks. Will fix.

In that case I'd say that although the seed is random, the system is anything but random. This also goes for various forms of "chaos games". You make random choices on each turn, b…

Nice work!

to be fair, the wordpress theme I'm using does a red highlight, which I was not aware of until I tested it. May have contributed.

Author read this and has no idea what you're talking about. I'm not doing anything to disable highlighting or searching and it works on every browser I've tested it on across multi…

Ah yes, Beyond Tellerand. That was a good time!

Author of the original article here. I feel your pain, but again, it's just a different set of conventions. Mathematicians are used to f(x) = ... kind of notation. Once you get use…

You may be viewing the field from your own bubble. There are a LOT of programmers who do not have formal CS degrees. I hire them regularly. There are a lot of boot camps and intens…

I agree, saving every iteration is overkill. I've done it on projects before too and it's too much. I just want an easy way to say, "I like this and I might want to go back to it l…

Generally, you'd ignore the binary or any compilation artifacts in your .gitignore. You might also want to ignore the images/animations you create and save them elsewhere. I think …

Author of the post here. I agree. It's not a big deal. I just wanted to compare the two and document my findings. As I said in the post, Simplex isn't a drop in replacement for Per…

Thanks, some interesting paths to follow there.

Yeah, I'm the author of those articles. Sorry they are not beefy enough for you, but I'm not the one submitting them here. In fact, HN is not a site I usually visit at all. This is…
