I've really started to like functional programming, not because I can yet produce a great deal (though I can write some pretty detailed command line programs), but because it is extremely rewarding to accomplish what I want to do with it. There's a certain kind of spark that comes from functional programming that just isn't available in imperative languages... it's what I feel from Python when I come up with a particularly succinct and beautiful algorithm, except nearly every time I write a functional ...
Some of us new starters probably asking “What the other guys know that we don't know? Why does it always seem like they do everything the complicated ways? How come they get the big bucks? I will not talk about codes and won't even mention a line of code here, but I will tell you what I feel about the whole coding us vs. them (us, as beginners vs. them, as pros) You probably know, programming languages are layers on top of each other starting from “1”s and “0”s. Binary ...
Check out this link. This bit¢h uses "geek", "nerd", and "dork" to mean the same thing. Why do people do this to us??? Geek: Someone with a passion for technology Nerd: Someone with a passion for academic learning Dork: Someone who is generally awkward How would she like it if I directed her to a website called "Asian Blogs" (because she appears to be Asian) and it had a bunch of clips ...
I have recently found a new fixation: MS-DOS games. I downloaded an MS-DOS emulator called DOSBox a few days ago, and I love it. It doesn't have the full DOS command set, but it's enough to run batch files and .COM and .EXE executables. I found a cornucopia of free DOS games here. Right now I'm playing Caverns of Kroz. It's an ASCII game produced by Apogee Software in the late 1980s, which has since been released as freeware. It involves going through a dungeon looking for gems ...
It has been about a week I am changing my latest code so it would use XML file as a database instead of Access Database. Why? Because I just got a laptop, which came with 64 bit Win 7. Somehow jet DB engine didn't like the new machine and OS... I checked around for the problem and there are some fixes and fix-arounds... I justs didn't want to deal with it more than I had to, so I decided to use XML as the program database. Access database, ADODB connection code is much easier for ...
As you probably know by now, I am a Micro$oft hater. I hate their business practices, their loathing for healthy competition, and their software, with the exception of the command line, Minesweeper, and Solitaire. Needless to say, it irks me when people say that Micro$oft was the "pioneer" and we couldn't have done without them. Here are a few debunkings I've done, some of them researched, others kind of obvious: Myth #1: Microsoft made the first microcomputer operating ...
