In a game, if you want to see if the item/enemy you're targeting is the same item/enemy something or someone else is targeting, you would compare by address. Comparing references should NOT automatically compare the values of the thing they're pointing to. That is idiotic and will leave people wondering why their code doesn't work. To say comparing by value is the only important way to compare 2 things is clear sign you've only ever dealt with small scripts

Not as awesome as you think. In fact type erasure and reflection are the shittiest way to make type generic code.

No, that would be: (state & 6) || (state & 3)
which would fire if any of the lowest for bits was set.
(state & 4) || (state & 2) ) && ( (state & 2) || (state & 1)

i personally prefer the first, although some syntactic sugar for forwarding might have been nice

>inheritance is rarely useful
- Design of GUI APIs makes extensive use of inheritance. Impractical to subclass a graphical component using composition.
- Wrappers around core behaviour (e.g., inherit from list and make it fire events when elements are added) are easier done with inheritance.
These two are just common use cases where composition is not too useful.
>>52565575
JFYI, C++ has all of those amazing "features" it inherited from C as well.
Windows is written in C. The C++ features that they support are pretty much limited to what you would get from a C API anyways, and are also entirely accessible from C.

Poor wording on my side.
My point is that inheritance is usually not necessary and makes your code more complex than it should be.

In many cases GADTs are a much better solution than inheritance.

x and y are nil, that's why. You don't need to declare fields in Lua table. What you are doing is making a list where index 1 is x (which if undefined is nil) and index 2 is nil, and field run is a function. Lua tables don't support 'this', which seems like what you are trying to do.

Windows NT is written in straight C, and the WinAPI is C as well. Most of the MS apps and whatnot are written in C++ but using the WinAPi which is itself C, so it's barely any different.

It's pretty much the number one engineering priority when designing big data centers.
Why do you think northern Sweden and Finland has become such attractive targets for data centers? Cheap electricity and good cooling.
When you run a home made GPU setup in your home, sure you go maximum performance, but you can not viably scale that beyond maybe a 100 teraflops.

I have 16k gps locations (long and lat) on a map(one state), there is same distance between each point. On the map it looks like a big grid 4k * 4k gps locations.
Now for a given gps location I have to find 4 gps location that make smalles square around given location 2 * 2 from 16k * 16k gps location.
I have a text file with 16k location but they are not in order.
Each gps point it made of lat and log and I have no idea how should I search, first find nears long, then lat? but how to find other points?
Guys guys we are supposed to be friendly here since we are interested in the same stuff.
GROUP HUG !
>>52565773
throws works with exceptions, exceptions make programming errors the default (the "throw" operation is costly because you need the stack trace, and it's often generated redundantly or even way too deep into the call stack)
"throws" causes the exact issue i mentioned: you cannot distuingish properly between functions that return errors and functions that don't anymore.
this means that you have to traverse the call tree all the time and read documentation just to find out which functions may actually cause errors.

The python beginner is bait. Plain as goddamn day. As are the majority of the responses.

You'll be a better programmer in almost every language in mainstream use, including Python, if you learn Haskell.

Pascal.
>>52565929
>Not sure if this is bait or not. Isn't C++ A Horrible language to learn for beginners?
Not at all. It was my first language.
The problem with Python and other 'popular' first programming languages (such as Visual Basic or Java) is that they're really, really abstracted, so you're not actually learning how to program, you're just learning how to program in that specific language.
C++ is close enough to the hardware that you actually learn how the computer handles things, which means you can better apply that knowledge later when you're actually doing higher level work in C# or whatnot.
Also it's still one of the most used languages out there.

Works for me. I'm guessing you didn't realize that readLine needs "'s to parse a string. Here you go, this is what I think you want, using getLine over readLine and putStrLn over print (we can also drop the type annotations):test = do
print "Enter message: "
message <- getLine
print "Enter shift number: "
n <- read . getLine
putStrLn $ map (toEnum . (+ n) . fromEnum) message

Depends on what you want to do later. If you just want to learn to program something and be able to automate simple things, do Python. Can do machine learning, maths, web development and other fancy things that are in the mouth of everybody now.
However, if you want to be a programmer and learn serious programming, start with C. Understand what's going on, what's a compiler, how does memory work, etc. Then move on to something "enterprisey", such as Java, C++ or C#, to learn OOP design. Then go to Haskell and learn a bit of functional programming and paradigms (you will not use Haskell for anything, but some ideas in it are actually pretty nice and will improve your code in other languages). Now you're a programmer and can learn whichever language you want.

C is good to know but doesn't give you the same sort of transferable skills
>>52565999
C is good, but honestly a little TOO low level. It's so barebones that it lacks some features that essentially every other programming language has, such as a 'string' datatype (yes you can easily replicate strings in C, but a beginner may not realize this) or whatnot.
>>52565852
I'm not into functional programming, so I won't touch the monad subject.
>you cannot distuingish properly between functions that return errors and functions that don't anymore.
From a debugging perspective, that's a big problem. It can be solved by adding logs or using a debugger.
Otherwise, why would you care who threw the exception? Let's say you catch a SocketException. Why would you care who threw the exception? You most likely want to revert all your actions and notify the user that something went wrong while networking.
>>52566006

spoiler: yes. Almost every task is GPU these days but some workloads (usually static operations performed on very large amounts of data, as opposed to dynamic operations done data-chunks at a time, in particular those where synchronizing is expensive) can benefit from using large cpu farms instead.
