Some years ago, I posted an engaging thread on this site about a Natural Language Programming system developed by my elder son Dan and I: http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=threads/natural-language-programming.2358744/ I'm now happy to report that, with the assistance of a university professor in...

My profile is already set to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing" -- but I still have to edit my posts in this box with the markup commands, then preview my post, then come back to make corrections. I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome so I don't think it's a browser problem.

A wysisyg post editor would also be nice. This edit-here-preview-there-make-corrections-back-here design is not very convenient.

Grant the author of each thread sole responsibility for moderating it. This would eliminate the need for "professional" moderators, and would allow each thread to develop it's own "flavor" based on the personality and goals of the individual who started the thread -- and the audience his topics...

Were you thinking of Python 2 or Python 3? But let's look at some of our options: BASIC: PRINT "Hello, world!" C: printf("Hello, world!\n"); C++: std::cout << "Hello, world!\n"; Delphi: Writeln('Hello, world!'); Go: println("Hello, world!")...

It was a program for a six-year-old. But any desired angle of movement can be had simply by adjusting the horizontal and vertical bump variables appropriately. It's not a big leap. True; again, it was a game for a six-year-old on his personal computer. If we needed special timing, it would...

Is this kind of personal attack consistent with the forum rules? We're supposed to be discussing a programming language here, not me. Let's ask the moderator. Moderator?

It's not nice to call people liars, especially when they're not lying. Isn't there a forum rule against that somewhere? Boy, oh boy, you can never find a moderator when you really need one! Now here's the source code for the entire pong-like game that I wrote with my son (who was about six at...

Exactly the opposite. Our premises are based on observations of actual human behavior. We arrange our menus like the index of a book (rather than a table of contents) because we have observed that most people, most of time, resort to the index when they're looking for something in a book, not...

Here are a couple of lines from another thread here: //get the existing pixel: pngpixel * pixel = GetPixel(x,y); In Plain English, that would be something like this: Get the existing pixel at the x and the y. Three points: 1. The programmer was obviously thinking he'd like...

I wasn't saying that Amazon doesn't have a lot of code in its systems. I was saying that most of that code does simple stuff like "move this over there" and "show that on the screen" -- things that can be conveniently expressed in a natural language. But let's consider an example we can examine...

You're forgetting miracles, Horatio. I believe in miracles. I believe that a kid who knows very little about business can start a company with just $50 in the bank and end up making millions. Something like this, for example: www.era-sql.com. I believe that a woman 10 years past menopause can...

Your wife appears to be a wise woman.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, we don't expect the kind of projects we specialize in to succeed with "crowd funding". Kickstarter and IndieGoGo are not so much sources of venture capital as they are "The Home Shopping Club for Generation X, Y, and Z". But real venture capitalists do look in on...

It's like the index in the back of a book. And it works. For beginners and experienced users.
