I expected GOTO implemented with continuations. Very disappointing.


CL can already do GOTO. And the BREAK and CARRY implementations use exit continuations.

I did consider doing it in CL though because then I'd have an excuse to call FUNCTION and FUNCALL "SUB" and "GOSUB".


The object of science, in the final analysis, is the collection, evaluation, and‒if the stars align‒acceptance as truth of sufficiently explanatory evidence. It is laughable to assert that the astrologers have better assisted us in this endeavor, or even that their contributions are on a par with those of astronomers. If you cannot adopt this perspective, you are simply lost to logical discourse; what evidence could possibly be provided to you to convince you to value evidence?

For what it's worth, you might like to know that it's destruction which pride precedeth.[0]

Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm not asserting that there is any kind of equivalence between astrology and astronomy, I'm asserting that it is not science itself that can draw the distinction between the claims of the two but rather it is the philosophy of science where this takes place. that was my rebuttal.

I never knew (obviously) that 'pride comes before a fall' is a common misquote but I do now! Thanks!


You would do well to heed Wikipedia's advice[0].

Ah sweet, those links give a much better explanation than the original article.


s/ a while/ever/


I am pretty aware that C and C++ are going to outlive me, but that doesn't mean they will be the systems programming languages of choice until the Sun ceases to exist.

Being someone that enjoys C++, doesn't mean I have to agree with all design decisions.

Neither will I reject to use C, if that is what the customer pays me for, even if I dislike it. Professionalism comes before personal opinions.


Not necessarily. Even the C++ committee now accepts that most of the C++ code that will ever be written has already been written.


I have no idea where you get the claim from. I know many members of the C++ committee, and they expect new C++ to continue to be written, else why would they bother with C++11/14/17?


But do they expect more new billions of lines of C++ to be written than have ever been written before?


Could you please clarify? Do you mean that more than 50% of the eventual total lines of C++ have already been written as of today (Peak C++, anyone)?

Or do you mean that a very large percentage of eventual lines of C++ to be written in the future are expected to be endless variations and downright repetitions of the total C++ lines been written as of today?



I found Waldo! Just kidding, but I found Indiana Jones. I also doubt, that the sprites on the left side of him, are part of this Star Wars game.

Edit:

I did the same for the Indiana Jones game: https://i.imgur.com/c1kKfV7.png

(thanks ImageMagick's convert and montage)

Edit 2:

Well, they're part of the game according to http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Yoda_Stories:

>Indiana Jones is featured as an easter egg in a mission, as a sequel to a mission in Desktop Adventures. His similarity to Han Solo is remarked upon.


You should take them down - you don't have the right to copy and distribute those images. That link is illegal. Please take it down.



Even more so with syntax highlighting: http://i.imgur.com/pDSUIb5.png


It almost looks like COBOL with all the keywords changed: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_sQvdFWqMlMg/S0Q1IKSR7_I/AAAAAAAABv8/Tp...


Not with that font. That font looks great on the status bar, but for the code?


Please let me know what is the font. I want it in my Visual Studio now.


Possibly a TTF enlargement of artwiz "snap"?


Plz me 2


What's the font used?


OMG I got to know!!!!


Go, Objective-C, Swift, and Visual Basic.


Really, Pygments did a hell of a job with it: https://github.com/threeifbywhiskey/pwnbs/blob/master/app.rb
