[2014-12-16. : 8:12 pm]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- like it's fine because it better explains what it means, but it's quite a bit of excess characters. xD[2014-12-16. : 8:11 pm]  Sacrieur -- Yeah, when I was in science classes I was like, "this notation is dumb can I use exponent notation?" and they were all fine with it.[2014-12-16. : 8:11 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I remember in science classes they'd have us write like 1.67x10^4 or whatever[2014-12-16. : 8:09 pm] Sacrieur -- There's no reason to write out (10^n) every time when you can just write En[2014-12-16. : 8:08 pm] Sacrieur -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: E for often poorly chosen scientific notation, delta for change, R idk No way, exponent notation is superior.[2014-12-16. : 7:52 pm] lil-Inferno -- KrayZeeKrayZee shouted: cause you're a woman now, it is very unladylike to fart I like it in a woman when she has the ability to destroy toilets.[2014-12-16. : 7:40 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- It's too hard to draw things with one continuous line D:[2014-12-16. : 7:28 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- and when you touch it it leaves a trail where you've touched and has a + over the screen where you are pressing[2014-12-16. : 7:28 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Woah, this is cool. It shows the x/y coords and presure stats at the top of the phone's screen[2014-12-16. : 7:27 pm] Roy -- The same thing happens with games: there's an inefficient engine that everyone is using, so graphics cards are made to destroy that engine, and the cycle continues.[2014-12-16. : 7:26 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: where's my command line smartphone! I keep seeing references to a command module in the developer tools, but I can't find one.  [2014-12-16. : 7:26 pm] Roy -- If Google wishes to abandon Java in the future, they'll already have excellent specs to work with.[2014-12-16. : 7:26 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- So you like android, but because you don't use android?[2014-12-16. : 7:25 pm] Roy -- Because it isn't necessary for Android to be the only mobile operating system, but others are going to have competitive specs regardless.[2014-12-16. : 7:24 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- RoyRoy shouted: On the plus side, that forces memory capacities to be higher on portable devices. How is it a plus if running anything just uses it all up to begin with?  [2014-12-16. : 7:23 pm] jjf28 -- FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: I don't think any of this is a surprise. [2014-12-16. : 7:22 pm] Roy -- We may have still been at 1GB RAM on smartphones if Android was built on something very memory-efficient.[2014-12-16. : 7:21 pm] Roy -- On the plus side, that forces memory capacities to be higher on portable devices.[2014-12-16. : 7:21 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- which is fun because it's what is used almost exclusively on portable devices with limited memory.[2014-12-16. : 7:17 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- "✗ ✖ ✔ ✕ C is king on computing-intensive workloads. Go is the runner-up but from a distance. Other languages, with object-oriented or functional features, incur further performance losses." Neat.  [2014-12-16. : 7:17 pm] jjf28 -- E for often poorly chosen scientific notation, delta for change, R idk[2014-12-16. : 7:14 pm] Roy -- I feel like it was an autogenerated document based on specified keywords.[2014-12-16. : 7:13 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- part of why I'm confused is the table of contents is in the middle of the document[2014-12-16. : 7:10 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- ANGUAGE MEASURE C C# F# Go Haskell Java Python C# p 4.010E-05 N 4.400E+01 W 0.000E+00 Z -4.107E+00 d 2.239E+00 ∆ -8.700E+00 R -8.651E+00 I don't understand what this means.[2014-12-16. : 7:09 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- SacrieurSacrieur shouted: According to the Rosetta Code study (link) Java is slower than C# what's with all the graphs and plots? Is there not just one that lists the languages in question and the results of the various tests? D:[2014-12-16. : 4:03 pm] Sacrieur -- According to the Rosetta Code study (link) Java is slower than C#[2014-12-16. : 3:55 pm] Roy -- SacrieurSacrieur shouted: Jack "C# and Java" is like saying, "a racecar and a race horse" A lot of Google infrastructure runs on Java. The JVM isn't any slower than the .NET Framework.[2014-12-16. : 3:54 pm] Sacrieur -- Python is the highest paying programming language, according a recent survey. I don't know what's wrong with employers these days.[2014-12-16. : 3:51 pm] Sacrieur -- I'm sure one of those things was considered fast at one point in time, like last century or something.[2014-12-16. : 3:50 pm] Sacrieur -- JackJack shouted: C# and Java are quick enough that the speed-up in programming time is worth the slow-down in processing time, for most applications. When it comes to spending dollars on programmers, management don't care about the running time of an application as long as it's reasonable. "C# and Java" is like saying, "a racecar and a race horse"[2014-12-16. : 3:36 pm] Roy -- A well-written algorithm in one language will always beat a poorly-written algorithm in another language. Maintainability is far more valuable than shaving off a couple milliseconds.[2014-12-16. : 11:56 am] Devourer -- Give a protoss player air weapon level 3 by default. Give him a cybercore and a pylon to power it. Give him cash. He can continue to upgrade air weapons.[2014-12-16. : 11:55 am] Devourer -- twilight_marinetwilight_marine shouted: hi guys is there way to bypass tech restrictions for upgrades? Tech restrictions for normal upgrades only work for level 2 and 3. If you by default give the player uprade level 3 and increase the max upgrade level, they can purchase further upgrades of that kind without restrictions.[2014-12-16. : 11:03 am]  Jack -- C# and Java are quick enough that the speed-up in programming time is worth the slow-down in processing time, for most applications. When it comes to spending dollars on programmers, management don't care about the running time of an application as long as it's reasonable.[2014-12-16. : 11:02 am] Jack -- The CPU processing power is actually increasing a lot though because they've been forced to optimize rather than simply add more transistors. Previously they could but it's getting too small and too hot for them to be able to, so they've been making a lot of optimizations on the CPUs themselves.[2014-12-16. : 10:50 am] Sand Wraith -- And direction of computing seems to rely more and more on finding better running time algorithms.[2014-12-16. : 10:49 am] Sand Wraith -- JackJack shouted: Nowadays with the speed of most computers there tends to be more of a premium on programmer time than on performance, depending on the application. Most job postings want Java or C# developers, at least in NZ. CPU performance has largely been going toward power efficiency and not upgrading instructions/cycle (forgot which measure of computation was best).[2014-12-16. : 8:50 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- JackJack shouted: Well no, it's an array that you duplicate and double in size when it needs to be bigger* so a dynamic array[2014-12-16. : 8:42 am] Jack -- Well no, it's an array that you duplicate and double in size when it needs to be bigger* |
