GAAHH CURSE YOU LIBCONFIG. I'm trying to code a D20 system attack calculator that uses a character.cfg file to grab all the stats and weapons required to add the correct modifiers, and it's just deciding not to work. !nolife

Boolean values on C++. False = 0, True = WHATEVER C++ FEELS LIKE THROWING AT YOU.

!coderponies So I was ditzing around on the internet, and I found out that C++ was deliberately overcomplex. http://pny.lv/7uxu

@techdisk C is, in fact, the predecessor to both C++ and C#, which are both mostly supersets of C. C++ has access to all of C's functionality via the <c*> headers, but has automated garbage collection and an OOP system. I would argue that idiomatic C++ and C# are higher-level than C, and Java is around the same level as idiomatic C#.

@techdisk Careful --- Straustroup's personal site reports that that very interview is a hoax. Me and a relative were fooled by it once too! http://www.stroustrup.com/bs_faq.html#IEEE

Just learned that scientific publications don't routinely make available the computer code used. Seems a glaring omission to me. !coderponies

!coderponies So, I just created a free Koding VM to muck around with. Suggestions? @redenchilada It's sorta like DigitalOcean except it has a free plan and provides full-on SSH, so I may be able to create a Poképon server.

@broniebrown Fortran is like a German Luger. old, reliable, old fashioned, and people look at you kinda funny for trying to bring one to the table.

@critialcloudkicker Fortran is for weird people and for those who are way behind. Fortran uses column major matrices, whereas other languages use row major order. Fortran is only used in archaic system environments and surprisingly in high performance computing.

@broniebrown If it us used in high performance computing ( whereas you may arguably argue that it could be replaced ( and may work better with ) a "new" age programming language ), if it is still used I see the pro's to learning that language. Hence where we come to the "Luger to the table" analogy. arguably argue ? is that correct english ?

!coderponies Teacher taught us about defining custom Java robots (in this case called "Athletes"). Of course I took this opportunity to define way more commands than he told us to and as a result my main class work was done in like half the amount of code than my classmates.
