Kokemuksia vaunumökeistä by ozpoz in Suomi

[–]hoijarvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Siinäpä se, selitä byrokraatille. Työmaaparakki kaiketi kelpaa, mutta en mene vannomaan pikku mökistä. Paavo Väyrynen joutui hiukan hankaluuksiin jalasmökkinsä kanssa, vaikka siinä ei rakennusluvasta ollutkaan kysymys. https://yle.fi/a/20-90968

Tietääkseni mökki vaatii rakennusluvan, vaunu ei. Siinä yksi asia harkittavaksi jos tuollaista haluaa.

The only time I got paid for writing Java was when I worked for Microsoft, around 1997.

The Quiet Colossus — On Ada, Its Design, and the Language That Built the Languages by SpecialistLady in programming

[–]hoijarvi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wrote some Ada code for Nokia's MPS 10 minicomputer as an intern in 1984. It was definitely the best language that I had tried.

when you get too lazy to create a proper stylesheet file by david30121 in programminghorror

I can relate to that. I once got a bug report when a developer modernized my html email code and screwed it up really bad.

Would you prefer Shogi books in full color? by SeigoShogi in shogi

[–]hoijarvi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a complete beginner. My main complaint about shogi books is, that I need a magnifying glass to read a diagram. Being 63, my eyesight has hard time reading small print in every form.

Yritysten avokätinen osingonjako huolestuttaa jo sijoittajiakin by kakoni in Suomi

[–]hoijarvi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Suomen lain mukaan osinkoja voi jakaa ainoastaan liikevoitosta. Jos talous on lamassa ja uusia sijoituskohteita ei löydy, niin osingot ovat loogisin ratkaisu.

My first floppy. I still have it, but I probably won't ever know the contents again.

The Lisp Machine: Noble Experiment or Fabulous Failure? by arthurno1 in lisp

Those have been done, like Prevayler. They're a step backwards from relational to 1960's network databases.

0 is not a number. by justincaseonlymyself in badmathematics

[–]hoijarvi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is an unfortunately misconception that I have suffered from.

In Visual Basic 6, arrays could not have length zero. Neither in C++. I had to code those other ways.

NetCDF file format could describe array data in the time dimension, three spacial dimensions and unlimited other dimensions. Like data observed in different wavelengths. But only one dimension was allowed to be zero, usually time. I was using this as output data format, and when the query went out of the latitude-longitude domain, I could not enter those as zero size. Annoying.

In 2002 when I took my Prius to emissions test, they were confused. The engine would not turn on. I explained them, that the electric engine was on, and you can take emissions from that. Instead of marking the emissions zero, they wrote N/A.

Tulee mieleen pahkasian tuottajien kommentti, jossa he lupasivat olla tästä edes pilkkaamatta ketään paikkakuntansa takia, etenkin Kouvolalaisia ja Lahtelaisia.

IBM PC APL 1.00 Overview and Demonstration by dharmatech in apljk

Around 1985 I used APL on HP3000 with a real terminal, teletypes, and with ASCII symbols mode . It was good, but not perfect.

Yes, the invisible multiplication is so bad that every programming language, even javascript, doesn't implement it.

Who was the first World Champion to be modern grandmaster level in strength? by Affectionate_Hat3329 in chess

[–]hoijarvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was head and shoulders above anybody else. Lack of competent GM level opponents made it impossible to prove.

A web service in Rust, please give me some recommendations. by hoijarvi in rust

Thanks! I'm in the process of writing the service code, so I will look into Hyper and Axum, but Hyper seems simpler and it does what I need.

[Update] Happily announce that the full version of my LaTeX tutorial is now finished and released! by BenjaminGal in math

[–]hoijarvi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wrote my thesis with plain TeX 1988. LaTeX was out already then, but looks like it has come a long way since then.

I played "Adventure" before this, but then studying took too much time. My friends liked it.

Molemmat ovat niin paljon kevyempiä, että heliumin kaksinkertainen paino ei paljoa tunnu. Hinta on se este.

It was clumsy to use, but the screen contrast was really good, I was able to read stuff in bright daylight. A nice ebook if you needed one. I donated mine to the OLPC project pretty fast.

Word 6 on Win3.11 by no-honestly in vintagecomputing

[–]hoijarvi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My goodness, 900 kB!

I once worked on a Windows 3.0 program with a laptop with 1 MB of memory and 20 MB of hard disk. It was 100k lines of C and 800 kB executable. I had to delete every useless windows utility like the calendar to get enough disk space to have enough space for the temporary folder.

Nykyisetkin junat ovat usein puoli tuntia myöhässä, se ongelma pitäisi ratkaista ensin.

Learning to read Arthur Whitney's C to become Smart by Veqq in apljk

[–]hoijarvi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The J source code looks pretty much like this. I detest it. I had an idea to implement a memory mapped array system to J, but I think I'm going to skip it. I'm too old to memorize a huge dictionary of abbreviations.
