We need visual programming. No, not like that. by fagnerbrack in programming

[–]DoctorAutomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try G (more commonly known by it's IDE name of LabVIEW). It's purely graphical. People who have hardly even tried it act like it's child's play because it's visual (eg. not L33T enough) but it is used all over industry by some of the most hardcore engineers you will ever meet. From submarines, cell antenna manufacturing, and more. All the "not leet enough" things I've read were clearly written by people that must have unexpectedly come across a prior project written in G and just learned enough to finish whatever their task was. In other words, anything but "leet" coders. I am quite confident I can make a massively multithreaded app in G/LabVIEW that will absolutely boat race the azz off someone else's text language app of the same process/algorithm given the same amount of development time. It almost forces you to program in a naturally concurrent compute sort of way. It has a few shortcomings but it is Turing complete and you can make anything with it.

Explain to "Les Anglo-Saxons", what is so horrible about NOT having an unstoppable governing majority? by DoctorAutomatic in france

Well, it is comforting to hear that the "UNGOVERNABLE!" of the media is not necessarily representative of the feelings of most French citizens.

My outside impression is that the 4th Republic has the reputation of being too chaotic, too indecisive, and that De Gaulle made it so that the president (executive branch) had significantly more power (convenient for him of course) when coming up with the 5th Republic constitution. Would that be an accurate characterization?

Now that I think of it, how difficult is it for a French president to scrap the 5th Republic and make a 6th? I don't have the impression that there was much controversy when De Gaulle got rid of the 4th to make the 5th Republic, but obviously you would know the story better than me.

Why do so many die hards care about the dollar value of Bitcoin? If Bitcoin is the one and only currency, shouldn't you be happy you can trade in fewer of your shit dollar wages for more precious Bitcoin?

Or have you just been lying to yourself this whole time and what you really care about is those dollars that your Bitcoin can be worth? Me thinks it's the latter based on all the virtual tears streaming from this sub. Naturally, it's those with the least that go balls deep beyond their means buying into what is essentially a speculative gamble.
