searching/replacing. I know there is a plugin for notepad++ that does regex searches but it's simply junk compared to proper support. And there's a replacement plugin that's complete crap. These are what I find in the "plugin manager". Is there any sort of unofficial plugin that doesn't suck?
Something like [this](http://tidbits.com/resources/2008-08/BBEdit-Find-window.png) Aside from having all the options nicely there, it can iterate through and optionally replace. It's regex support is also far closer to full support. Notepad++'s support is minimalist at best.

> I think that the point is that they want the rules to include a rule saying "If I don't like these arguments, I'll tell you instead of reformatting your hard drive".
Sure, but Win32 is the wrong place for it. Win32 is the lowest-level, bare-metal API you can get on Windows. You're interfacing directly with the OS, and it isn't (and shouldn't be) very forgiving. If you're looking for safety and ease-of-use, you should be using a higher-level library, not Win32.

And he may have been a coding genius...that is entirely within the realm of possibility. But skimming over the comments in this thread, it seems everyone here also feels their coding skills are well above the sample given. When in reality, the industry is comprised mainly of code just like it. So the more logical answer is that op was taking too long to write the beautiful code, or it just wasn't as useful as he thought. The hard reality is that this crap code is really much more useful to the industry. Quantity and constant deliverables are sought when a budget is involved. Well written code is left to the classroom.
(I'm working through a masters in software engineering, and understand the value of maintainable code. I'm just pointing out the standard industry mindset, as well as my observations working in industry.)

We fired a programmer who was very good. He just didn't know his place in the company and made everyone know that his way was better and we were basically robbing our customers because we were incompetent. There is much more to being a valued employee than just being technically savvy. I'm not saying this is you, I'm just laying this out there because it reminded me of that.

Looking back on this you COULD model these sorts of interactions in Haskell too, using multi parameter type classes (+ fundeps or associated types,) so you could have `(1 :: Int) + (1.0 :: Double) ~= 2.0 :: Double`, for example.
I suppose my complaint more generally stems from the implication that ad-hoc overloading in this manner for things like numbers is bad. Type classes are very useful for ad-hoc overloading of this nature and much lighter weight than ML modules. You can very clearly (like I said above) restrict such overloaded functions to *not* allow you to mix integer types in the parameters. That's what `Num` in Haskell does, because the type of `(+)` for example is `(+) :: Num a => a -> a -> a`. I find this incredibly useful and much more consistent, and think the non-uniform syntax in OCaml for operating over different numeric types is incredibly annoying, but maybe I'm just spoiled. FWIW I tend to dislike most ML-ish syntax.
But you're also right this all needs to type check anyway for it to even compile. Even with Scala or Haskell+fundeps etc it'll all need to work out.

Global, yes; expensive, no. svn uses a copy-on-write strategy for "branches" (such that they are), so a branch has very little incremental cost.
But yes, they're global, and nothing like git's notion.

I worked on a project whose Team Lead posted the LoC/day of each developer each month. The person praised at the #1 position was an order of magnatude above #2. He joined the project late and literally copied and pasted thousands of lines of code from another CSCI, literally duplicating the functionality in a class by another name.

I'm using VS 2008 and I don't see that functionality, at least not in C++. I would think you should be able to do simple things like that or write a function and be able to automatically place the signature in the header file. We're moving to VS 2010 soon so I'm hoping they've added some of these features.

I don't know what is meant by that - but normally, styles in Notepad++ are tied to a language, unless it's a global style, then every language style derives from that one.
Notepad++ does Ruby/PHP/Perl/Python/SQL - in fact there's a plugin to do scintilla (the editor it's based on) scripting for it in Python.
My biggest gripe is that the color syntaxing doesn't have the latest-greatest CSS3 stuff in it (least last I checked - 5.9.4 RC1 came out this morning)

Making your customers sign in to their account with PayPal and Google Checkout is a drawback compared to just letting them enter their credit card number with no hassle, and it could be losing you sales. Have you seen the trouble PayPal makes customers to go through to simply use their credit card instead of direct debit?
Moreover just because you're using a trusted name for payments doesn't necessarily improve trust with your customers, because a fully integrated payment system on your own domain is more difficult to configure and more professional looking because of a cohesive user experience.

Recently I was working on a pdf to html/kindle converter for academic papers where my goal was to extract the figures as images and keep the rest as text.
Part of this involved detecting columns in pages. I made the assumption that the formatting of the pages were more or less consistent, and that if I took viewed the pages as a grid, and took the mode of each cell across all pages, and then collapsed that mode down by rows and across by columns, then took the product (with * replaced by AND) of those two vectors then I got a nice representation of what the page columns looked like. Doing the product was not strictly necessary, but visually helped things out when tuning it.

So the tokens are single-use so a returning customer either needs to re-enter their information or I need to store their information on my side (which sorta defeats a lot of the benefit you offer).
Is it possible to generate a token and refer to that repeatedly?
EDIT - I see that I first create a customer then attach the card to that customer. Using the Customer ID I can make repeated charges without requiring them to re-enter their info nor with me needing to store anything aside from the stripe generated IDs.
Very nice!

Agreed. Relevant thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/498698/white-light-vs-black-dark-backgrounds-health-effects
tldr: if you prefer a dark background, your screen is probably too bright. Numerous studies have shown people read better with black on white than black on white. If you can't lower the brightness for whatever reason, a dark background with a light, off-white text is best.

yes he does get the info from a ton of people. he needs to get them all to agree on solution X or Y.
But...thats not the developer's problem. He needs a decision, by tomorrow, or feature X gets dropped from the sprint.

FWIW the [Zeus](http://www.zeusedit.com) editor has both of these these features.

If you're running Linux or another unix, such a "host app" is provided: it's called getty. Just run it on ttyUSB0 and Bob's your uncle.
And I work as a software engineer for a company that buys scientific instruments and incorporates them into the robots we build; I'm well aware of how long-lived RS232 and its cousins, RS422 and RS485 are. May they never die.

Like so many ideas I have, I pine for them but lack the time to actually do it.
Mentioning them in public places, or to people, often does get others interested in the idea and I've seen more than one of my ideas spring to life by someone else's hands :-)

This is fantastic!
I'm getting 100 steps a second in Chrome, and I open my CPU monitor thing expecting there to be one core maxed out - but there isn't! All 4 are around 9%!
I need more power! Is there a way for me to get it to use 100% of all 4?
Evolution is too important to be throttled! =D
Cambrian Explosion would be a great demo for school science classes - it's a single webpage, and no downloads!

Main differences:
* We're full-stack, not just a gateway. You get paid directly by Stripe to your regular bank account. You can see what you've been paid and what payouts are upcoming, rather than having to decipher paper statements a month later.
* Nicer fee structure: no surcharges for Amex, international cards, "non-qualified transactions", failed payments. No monthly fee, minimum fee, or setup fee. All you pay is 2.9% + 30c. The only time you get charged is when you earn money.
* Avoid PCI by just interacting with Stripe over JavaScript.
* Instant setup: we had a guy join Stripe one afternoon, and go live charging thousands of dollars that evening. Most of the time, getting payments set up takes days.

Exactly: you can store the card on a customer, then have a permanent handle to use at any point in the future. Many people do this when they're doing recurring billing themselves, but still want to use us to store cards.

What's harder is ranking a puzzle that you generated. How would you classify it between easy, medium and hard, for example?
One way to do this is to write down the techniques you need to use in order to solve your Sudoku and use these to give your puzzle a score. Very interesting problem overall.

It's not hard. That's the point. The language makes expressing the idea difficult, even dangerous. It obfuscates the meaning.
Expressing generics in Java or C# is just easier - much. I'm not a huge fan of C# (even though I work with it every day), and Java is the fucking anti-christ.
But there are even better, faster, and more succinct languages for implementing math libraries. Consider this implementation of a Vector in C++:
struct Vec {
double x, y, z;
Vec(double x2, double y2, double z2) : x(x2), y(y2), z(z2) {}
};
Here it is in OCaml:
type vec = { x: float; y: float; z: float }
It's essentially the same idea but with much less noise. It's also more more strongly typed and more declarative. The compiler is smart enough to infer all that other junk (the declaration of x, y, z and the constuctor) for you so you don't have to waste your precious time writing it. I took this example from the following [article](http://www.ffconsultancy.com/languages/ray_tracer/comparison.html) that compares the implementation of a raytracer in C++ and OCaml.
OCaml can even be compiled to native or byte code and it comes with a REPL for quick prototyping. It's interoperable with C (and probably other languages.) and it's also fast as hell.
No it's not perfect. It's a minority language, so it lacks the tools/community of a legacy language like C++, but still. It's smart and you can make strong statements about the mathematical correctness of the code thanks to the type system.
Write your highly optimized code in C++ if you must, but using it to build large systems is just masochistic, even sadistic because many more people will have to read, understand, and maintain your code. How would you feel about maintaining the eigen library if it were written in assembly? I'd be pretty pissed off.
C++ is a turing tar-pit and slogging through it doesn't make you John Carmack reincarnate; It makes you fucking stupid for prematurely optimizing your code. There are much more conceptually challenging software problems to solve and much better tools for the job than a hammer and chisel like C++.

>If you already know all of the undesirable traits then why do you need a genetic algorithm?
Ah, the thing with reality is - EVERYTHING is modelled. So a head isn't used as a method of locomotion because it's very bony to protect the brain, and would be damaged on hard rock surfaces. Also, the eyes are around there and so would be blinded... and so on...
The problem with simulators is that much of reality has to be missed out, for speed and simplicity sake.
Missing this stuff out causes "unrealistic" animals to form, like a worm that jumps on its head! They're not unrealistic in the sim - they make perfect sense because there's no selection pressure!
But the sims are expected to model reality, people see shapes they recognise and go "Ooooooooo!"... (you could say this is Sim selection pressure!) so to implement more accurate selection **without** adding too much complexity and slowing the sim down too much "Built in selection is added"
Instead of pain receptors / brain physics / Vision ability being built into the body to decrease fitness as you bang them against rock - the sim will have a rule written in... "Banging head on ground= remove some fitness points per bang."
This has the same effect as reality... sims that are head bangers don't do so well... and it keeps the sim speed up and complexity down.
**TL;DR**: Building in selection conditions makes the sim simpler and faster!

Thank you! Unfortunately, this is a current limitation. But, one way to speed it up is to temporarily set render to "None". That will blast through the generations pretty quickly, because it will simulate the entire population simultaneously. I'm so glad to hear that you think it would be a great demo for school science classes. I was thinking I might gear it more toward that.

Reminds me a story a coworker once told me about the very company we work for. A long time ago (before they got bought by several larger companies) we purposely shipped empty boxes. Imagine servers with no motherboard. This was all custom hardware and the hardware wasn't ready yet, so we shipped empty boxes so we could make our commitments to the customer, waited for the customer to complain then take back the empty boxes and ship them the real hardware once it was ready.

Your argument is still flawed too, isn't it? It basically goes like this:
* You cannot read this function without effort (not significant effort, but effort.)
* But Haskell programmers can read that with very little effort - because it's an extremely, painfully common idiom to express composition of functions in this way.
* Therefore there are very few Haskell programmers?
His argument is flawed on the note of Mandarin, but I don't think I follow your reasoning at all, either. You can definitely make the argument readability could hurt adoption and that by extension that code isn't reasonable (be it just dislike of the syntax or merely lacking familiarity with Haskell, personal choice, whatever,) and thus it reduces the amount of people who would become Haskell programmers, but you didn't really say that. You just made a jump from "I need to expand effort reading this" to "thus there are few haskell programmers."

The link has more details, but the jist of it is that if you load lots of dynamically-created images using Safari, memory usage increases until Safari crashes, both on the iPhone and on the desktop versions.

The way you've presented everything is well polished - generation data, animations, fitness charts even! This demo certainly has a place in an educational environment....

Nothing fancy, just a bunch of common FP functions like list comprehensions, map, filter, zip, and so on and so forth.
It's extremely simple to use:
lfunc = dofile('lua-functional.lua')
lfunc.loadglobally(lfunc)
...
map(apply(add,1), {3,5,8,11})
-- and so on
There's also a test suite that I worked pretty hard on (2000 lines of code), so I think that the functions are pretty much correct and robust.
Hope someone finds it useful!
(EDIT) Well, I actually already found and fixed a bug, so we are up to version 1.001! If you do find a bug, letting me know at the code page or luafunctional at gmail.com would be awesome!

Yup, I'm not a fan though. No (easy) themes, no multiline indentation (select a few lines, hit tab, and it erases everything instead of indenting it), and I like being able to see white space characters.

Thank you for making it a light on dark theme. I can never understand why some people seem to find light backgrounds easier on the eyes. To me it's like staring at a lightbulb. My personal goal is to eliminate light backgrounds from my computer entirely. With prodigious use of themes, Stylish addon for websites, and some other tweaks I have been largely successful.
But I wish it were easier.

A scoreboard on the server for the furthest types of travelling animal!
And then what http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/kucjn/genetic_algorithm_evolving_locomotion_in/c2nliof suggests - maybe mating your own animal with others on the leader board... to get super offspring!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;)
But you can also change the Zeus color schemes to be a little bit more funky.
In fact you can even import the Notepad++ theme that is the topic of this Reddit thread.
Just use *Options, Document Types* menu and then in the *Coloring* section of the document type use the *Import* button to import the theme.

while i understand what you are trying to say, I would disagree. If you are being paid to develop software to do something (in this example, sending email) you should know as much about the ins and outs of the task at hand as possible.
The fact that this knowledge is, in my experience, light on the ground in the web development community is the very reason that the DevOps movement is growing so quickly.
You _should_ know more than how to write PHP if you want to be a web developer, this includes as much knowledge as possible - and includes knowledge of networking and web server administration.

Very nice post. Made me feel very nostalgic, especially the x86 snippets. I think every new coder writing a game engine should be somehow forced to write a software rasterizer like this at least once - those damned kids, get of my lawn! :). It is so incredibly educational and fun, something you just can not learn by merely using an api.
