I've noticed that on some monitors antialiasing looks fantastic, while on others not. My sister's laptop has a smaller screen and enabled antialiased fonts, and they really do look great. But on my Samsung 2232BW, which…
Those who can't afford a high dpi LCD screen?
Although you could probably use any OOP capable language with GoF, I think the D language fits really nicely for that book. D defines interfaces, abstract classes, subtyping, (class) mixins, templates, all in the…
Interesting.. In what way does D seem like a severe step backwards to you? Is that assumption based on the library support or the language itself?
Interesting. I kept seeing some topics opened, closed, only to be reopened again. I thought the admins couldn't make up their minds.
Hmm, I've just tried it. It has potential, but it's very slow and sluggish on my machine (quad).
All of this because people are too lazy to install software? Why not just run compiled binaries in the operating system?
I'm not as worried about the UI as much as I am worried about '404' errors, which are pretty common.
I've only had a few months of experience with Python, but I had no trouble learning C (it only takes a week or two to get used to the syntax). I'm pasting this from my reply in a Reddit thread: If you're going to read…
True. The massive ammount of code examples on the D website is what got me interested in the language in the first place.
Update: Just got the reply, there will be Video. Yay!
I've just sent them an email asking this question. Waiting for the reply..
No problems here, that is, with D's right-to-left declaration syntax. ;)
Well this certainly sparks my interest. Could I ask for some recommendations for any books and articles on algorithms which take the current computer/memory architecture into account? I'm currently reading "Mastering…
That explains it. Thanks! (and I won't complain anymore :p)
The only thing I don't understand about github is that "hardcore archiving in process..". I mean why do I have to wait a minute before I can start downloading the archive? Isn't it costly if the server has to create an…
Yes, if only such technology existed where you could swap between two bookmarks with a keypress. Or where you could jump to a particular page by just typing in a number.
Have you RTFA? He states: "Fortunately, it seems I was able to acquire access to the VP8 spec, software, and source a good few days before the official release"
Well popularity is not really the reason I'm interested in these languages. The practical guy in me tells me to stick with the languages that I know, and expand my knowledge in that domain. But then there's that other…
Gah! I wish I could have the mental capacity to learn all of this stuff at once. I'm busy with Python, C, tons of code that I want to explore, plus I'm interested in D (waiting anxiously for the DPL book). And then…
Hehe, I have a 1984 book about computers, with a ZX Spectrum on the front cover. Got it from my dad. It's not in English, though.
Or get yourself a mouse with extra buttons (I bought a Logitech over 5 years ago), and map those buttons to minimize/restore. Or even better, use a stack that remembers which windows you've minimized, and quickly…
At least reddit has /r/coding, unlike yc where all I get to read lately is about fights between Apple and Adobe.
That is not what I meant, actually. I meant rendering a logo via some paint methods, where all the information the methods have is some text, color and style attributes, etc. Then the logo gets drawn on-the-fly by the…
I'm not a web developer, but could html5/javascript replace the need for some static images? For example, simple text logos. While a text banner could take several dozen KB's, some form of drawing javascript code could…
