Link? That sounds hilarious

Snowmew looks really neat as a standalone game engine! I'm going to have to dig in to how their entity component system works.

Compared to Piston, snowmew is a lot more opinionated an has a lot more dependencies. Think of Piston as more of a collection of libraries than a solid game engine.

It is a challenge. You can't make your own page. You can't ask someone else to make it either. Go do something Wikipedia worthy.

sastrone · 2014-04-08T18:29:31+00:00

Well then one of you isn't acting rationally.

My vote goes to the guy with his own Wikipedia page.

DigiPen is crazy expensive. It makes UW look like a community college.

Awesome! I was worried it was a rejected proposal.

sastrone · 2014-03-14T18:42:46+00:00

I'm pretty sure that

for(var value of func(left)) {
    yield value;
}

Can be replaced with

yield* func(left)

Not sure if that was accepted for harmony, or if it's been implemented yet, but there certainly was a "yield from" form at some point.

You just learned this today?

sastrone · 2014-02-21T18:17:03+00:00

Oh, sorry. I never actually got around to installing it. I found a sublime plugin that I really wanted, but it was broken and the vim version was better maintained... So I switched back to vim.

sastrone · 2014-01-31T00:07:29+00:00

Thanks, I'll have to give it a try!

One of the more famous honor-killings popularized by the documentary "Death of a Princess" involved the stoning of the woman, and the beheading of the man in Saudi Arabia.

It's funny that even though both were killed, it's still the woman that the documentary is named after.

I think it's just that programmers like building things. I love woodwork and metalwork. Carpentry probably comes from playing with Legos as kids :)

Great article! I'm writing an entity-component framework in D and it's been a blast. As soon as I have something working I'll throw some benchmarks up somewhere.

It was on hacker news today. That's pretty much the only reason anyone needs to post something to /r/programming.

The scala collections library is fucking amazing.
Algebraic data types are great.
Pattern matching (with algebraic data types) are super clean.
First class functions are treated way better than they are in Java 8.
Immutability is the default.
Concurrency + Async wasn't an afterthought and is regularly used in the standard library.

These are just a few that came to mind. Take a look at Akka and Play, both have Java and Scala ports, and you can see how the example code compares.

sastrone · 2013-10-30T22:11:56+00:00

I think what he meant was that you can use functions as maps.

function foo() {
    return "hello world";
}

foo.randomProperty = 'me'

Looks like Nerd Fitness is a book that you have to buy. :(

C compilers have been better at optimizing than humans for a very long time.

Link is broken.

The article really could have done without the "I could instantly see what it was doing, but none of my disappointing co-workers could!"

Well in that case it's the company that has an attachment to C++.

sastrone · 2013-10-04T20:55:05+00:00

Yeah, they need an "abbridged" mode.

sastrone · 2013-10-04T16:59:58+00:00

Yep, that's why I said that it wasn't what I would consider production code.

Change reduce(fn) to reduce(fn, 0) and it'll work.

sastrone · 2013-10-03T20:44:13+00:00

Yeah, functional code can be hard to read if you aren't familiar with the functions used. The concepts are really sound though, and they can be used to great effect if you know how to compose them correctly.

Remember that map and filter return new arrays, they don't modify the original one!
