  1. "mashup" on Roomba + Wii remote + Perl = Awesome · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What is this trendy-word shit? MASHUP? Who the fuck came up with this word? In multimedia we already had "remixing" and "sampling".

    Hardware and software can not "mashup", they're "coupled" or "integrated" in manager-speak, but in honest everyday speak hardware is "driven" or "controlled" or "interfaced" with software.

    It could have been "controling roomba with wii remote". Perl would never show up in the headline because software drivers are no often given banner credit. They're expected to work.

    First, the man wants serial interface.

    Second, he wants small foot print.

    Third, SHUT THE FUCK UP, not everything needs to be done with mozilla.

    an Oracle machine is not a Unix, it's a database-hag.

    Real UNIX machines serve shell, games and ftp.

  6. Color me weird! on Coding and Roleplaying - Is There a Connection? · · Score: 1

    No sir. I program for fun and profit, and I don't like Role Playing or any other sort of "games". Not even video games.

    Given a choice between playing something, or just talking to someone, I would take the conversation anyday. I prefer reading to both. The same thing goes for other supposedly "geeky" stuff, specially comic books which I abhor.

    I would pass for a jock, except I completely lust after vintage electronics and mathematics texts, and my apartment is litered with both.

  7. Re:Issues With Trolltech Lower Excitement on Original BeOS Developer Now at Trolltech · · Score: 1

    Or if you don't want any bullshit, and just want to get work done with smallest possible foot print, FLTK. If you're on Win32, download Dev-Cpp and use fltk2.

    http://fltk.org/

    http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

    I have migrated from my legally bought Visual Studio to this bare-bones platform, and I am an order of magnitude more productive.

    With FLTK, I wrote a 3D voice signal visualization and analysis software in three weeks. With native OpenGL. This stuff is what wet dreams are made of. Highly recommended.

    That would have to be a *very* safe language, for values of "safe" not considered before, like restricting I/O. You don't want a bug in there to cause an SMS or a phone call DoS.

  13. Re:CLiki, ll-discuss, Bugtraq, Practical Common Li on Top 5 Software Development Magazines? · · Score: 1

    CLiki [cliki.net], a programming language blog. Contains lots of stuff on programming languages and paradigms, including debates on merits and disadvantages.

    That's not true. CLiki is just the Common Lisp wiki; meaning everything Common Lisp, specially those that satisfy the Debian license. From the site:

    "Links to and resources for free software implemented in Common Lisp and available on Unix-like systems. Listed software should satisfy the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG)."

    ll-discuss, a mailing list related to programming language concepts. Perhaps most interesting if you're into language implementation, but it's the closest thing to a magazine that I can recommend.

    Not really. ll-discuss is for small light-weight languages (think scripting languages, or tiny dynamic languages) The "ll" stands for Light-weight Languages actually, and it grew from the conference by the same name.

    People who are into language design frequent LtU. Or more likely they're busy reading their huge required reading list :-)

    Bugtraq is for security specialists, or people who code in C/C++ ;-)

    Practical Common Lisp is a book, not a magazine.

    How to Design Programs is an entry level programming book, meant to teach high schoolers and people with NO programming experience. Any CS graduate should be intimately familiar with its teachings, and that of the more grown-up SICP.

    Magazine are for the weak, get CiteSeer, and a library subscription to a University library.

    No, no need to apologize. Submiting a dupe is actually a _GOOD_ thing. Let's make it a contest. Whoever submits the Nth accepted dupe of a given story should be awarded a title of some sort.
