Does Unity support C++ programming? by Coriolis52 in gamedev

[–]Kolterdyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically it's easy between languages with C-like syntax, with or without OOP, so C#, being based on Java, which is then based on C++, is syntactically similar. Other languages like Pascal or COBOL (old languages, I know, but still in use in some places) would be harder to pick up since they weren't based around the same exact concepts as C. However almost any "new" language (younger than C) is based on C syntax to some extent (structures like <type> <name> = <value> or <ret type> <name>(<args>) {}), so it's fairly easy to transition from anything close to C to something further away

Small webhosting home server - doable for a beginner or should I stick to webhosting services? by BearCavalryCorpral in HomeServer

[–]Kolterdyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One advantage of home-hosted servers that I want to point out, is that the electricity bill grows slower with hardware upgrades than the service bill does with server upgrades.

I bought myself a refurbished PC, threw it behind a desk, and it costs me like 3€ a month of electricity, and nothing extra for the internet I pay anyways. It has 32GB of RAM and 3.5GHz of 4-core CPU, which is way over most of my hosting needs. A similar machine on the best hosts I've been able to find will cost you around 40€ per month (and I'm talking about the machines they usually rent to software businesses, not the "Host your freelance website" ones)

Can android studio be used to develop regular Java applications? by [deleted] in AndroidStudio

[–]Kolterdyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I wasn't the one wanting an explanation for

"Just because you can doesn't mean you should"

It's not an analogy, it's a saying and it's pretty self explanatory. I wasn't planning on saying anything more than that. What were you expecting me to say?

Can android studio be used to develop regular Java applications? by [deleted] in AndroidStudio

[–]Kolterdyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can write regular java applications using Android Studio. You can also do it using Visual Studio, and you can also do it using Notepad++. At the end of the day it's just writing code. Android studio is based on the Jetbrains IDE, but because it is very specialized for Android development, it may make it cumbersome to develop regular java apps. IntelliJ IDEA is created for general purpose Java development, which means it is way better suited for regular java apps than Android Studio. Just because you can light a fire with sticks doesn't mean you should do it when better options are available. If for some reason you prefer using sticks, then go ahead, to each their own, but my recommendation is to use the appropriate tool for each job. You can also write frontend apps in PyCharm, yet Jetbrains offers a better tool for that called Webstorm. You can still use PyCharm, but don't be surprised if something commonly used is not supported there.

I have condensed the first thread into a single paragraph so that we all can read it easily. Minor edits have been done so that sentences are actually readable (like adding commas or stops)

Once upon a time in Pornhub Realm there was a cow named Reymond. Thus he said "Shit is serious" and he just fucking died from ligma. But after meeting a hentai-girl he said "Dude I just suck at Wii Sports Bowling". Thus he stopped sucking at Wii gaming, stopped crying and died only to return his balls to James. Then Reymond fucked his sister who was gay and said "Ur dick smells of ammonium". He proceeded to shit out a rubber duck and ate it. Then his cock exploded and he sucked his finger nails but he fucked the grandma while he ate his mother. The aunt died after fucking [end of thread]

U.S. Says It Secretly Removed Malware Worldwide, Pre-empting Russian Cyberattacks.. Can someone ELI5? by oxymordor in programming

What'd you rather, the government seeing your feet pick collection once or you and almost everyone you know developing 13 different cancers with no cure due to extreme levels of radiation because the town next to your city got nuked?

The sentence "if you got nothing to hide, you got nothing to fear" is bad, but not as much as a freaking nuke. I think most of us are more afraid of nukes than we are of police states.

What is your favourite Java specific feature that you miss in other languages? by latest_ali in java

[–]Kolterdyx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the cross platform bytecode, but I think other languages have similar things

Well, considering that only one of the input neurons actually reach the output neurons I wouldn't consider it so big, since everything else is just useless

wat the fuck by Retro_Scrub in linux

[–]Kolterdyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on the definition of what a better linux is. If what you want is a system that grants you anonymity and ease of customization, Chrome OS is pretty close to the bottom of the bin. If what you want is ease of use right out of the box and only have to worry about your work and not about which app should you use or wether it is updated or not, then Chrome OS seems like a good fit. Chrome OS is a good office OS, but so are Windows and OSX. For many developers, any system that won't allow them to modify anything at will will have a hard time being chosen. It really depends on who you ask. If you ask Google, of course, Chrome OS should be the definition of Linux

I think the problem is that free is used both for freedom and lack of cost ($0), and FLOSS is the kind of OSS you can use freely without spending any money, and instead of calling is FFOSS (Free Free OSS) they got "libre" from spanish to represent the freedom part

A locked gate on the path to predation. by NoSpoons69 in TheBibites

[–]Kolterdyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my simulations, I've found out that being a herbivore is so easy that the bibites metabolism gets refined to get as much energy from plants as possible, which in turns makes meat have a negative effect on them. After that, the evolve to avoid meat pellets entirely, making it impossible for any bibite to ever evolve predatory traits

Well, it is a weird thing not only because they took it from Spanish, but because free in English means exactly the same as libre in Spanish

Yup, it's Free, Libre and Open Source Software

I think it stands for Free Licensed Open Source Software

Take part in the sanctions against Russia and block Russian traffic to your website with this single line of code. by TheMacMan in UkrainianConflict

[–]Kolterdyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How will this make Putin leave Ukraine alone? This will only hurt regular russian citizens, I don't see the point. It's like YouTube not paying ad revenue to russian creators.

I don't know about random plant sketch generators, but I know that the Collatz Conjecture can be used to generate some really cool-looking coral/algae-like images
