The utterly dry, closed, logical, definitive, hierarchical, consistent,
determinate nature of a computer language is the only thing that will
facilitate anything useful on something as utterly stupid (and not to
mention logical, definite and determined) as a computer.
I mean it, computers are /really/ stupid. They're literally
stupider than a bug. We just like things we can control.
The requisites I have for a computer language are:
Efficiency (speed)
Elegance of syntax
Powerful (conceptual-wise) abstractions
Python has delicious abstractions that make doing a lot of things really
easy and fun to think about.
Stackless Python adds even more to that with continuations.
Also Python's dynamic (another aspect of being powerful conceptual-wise)
But most of all, I love its syntax. Guido is the awesome.
(BTW, I won't even use any language that uses := for assignment. I just
refuse. I don't care what the language has.)
The speed/efficiency issue depends on the task at hand. For most things I
use Python. But assembly isn't out of the question, and it's fun to code
in. I also find C/C++ an elegant language. Most things just don't need
that speed. And Python is 50 times easier to code in than C/C++ and 1000
times easier to debug in.
I also like C#.
My ideal language would be a natively compiling cross between C++ and
Python. Objects declared with a type would be statically typed, objects
not declared with a type would be dynamically typed. There would also be
keywords to declare that class names won't be reassigned and class
attributes won't be deleted. Those attributes would be referred to by
offset, not hast table keys. f
hast = hash 0  707  This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi guys, thanks for looking. I have a deadline for the morning
My database takes down order details.
Each customer has there own priceid in the price table.
the errors that I get say enter parameter value for:
products.unit price
Unit Price
Discount Price
Maybe a bit of history would help with this, the user said originally that they wanted to be able to give customers a discount on every line of stock.
Then realised after completion...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
