Working as a test automation engineer in '91/92 (although as an intern), I wrote a program that controlled a test rig for seat belts. The machine was basically a home computer running a repl with BASIC, beefed up with a…
Three things might come into play here: 1. AFAIK Google ranks pages (amongst other metrics) by how "fresh" they are. A date given on a web page might count as a measure of "freshness" so it would be good SEO practice to…
Like others said before: CL is just a programming language that can be used for functional programming, but doesn't enforce this. So you have to be disciplined. I stick to the following rules: * have a (main) function *…
Am I missing something? Or is this article really advocating to not count the worst thing that can happen to an utility (electricity provider, traffic lights, streaming service, online shop...)? Namely the…
I finished one other project - playing "MasterMind" against the computer (you know, where you have to guess five colour pins) with output done on the internal little printer. After that I had started one one other…
Funny enough, I think those things were never meant to be a "personal" computer. You could get quite a sophisticated external bus system for these ("field bus" I think) and that made them ideal for lab environments.
I once (1992?) calculated mandelbrot sets on one of these. 400x400, output to an external thermo printer as the one-line display had, well, only one line. With a calculation depth of 256 it took about 48 hours to…
I've done one in Common Lisp, but compared against ~100 lines / bytes,it is obviously bloatware: http://www.faoileag.de/fn/software.html
This is possible, at least from hearsay. 1. A decade or two ago a story made the news that some guy was working from some remote place in Scotland, basically in the middle of nowhere, with just a modem and some novel…
If you are starting with C++ right now, I'd suggest Scott Meyer's More Effective C++ (and his other books) and the books by Herb Sutter. Don't worry too much about C++ 17/20 unless you are working for a company that use…
Just a few things you should consider: - C++ is highly complex. The poster lower down claiming you already know 90% if you know C#/ObjC is simply wrong. The learning curve is steep. - Your stated experience sounds a bit…
