Thanks
Comment on: What are some programming jargon everyone should be aware of?
cron - A cronjob is something that can be scheduled to perform at given time or interval. You specify this in crontab.
how is this different from real-time software?

Are you producing Leaf?

The only problem I see is proving that x is false.
Comment on: Calculating square root using Newton's iterative method
Off topic: Leaf looks a lot like a mix of verilog and C.

To @meh and others who think that OSS is a moral-free zone: https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/the-dehumanizing-myth-of-the-meritocracy
LOL meritocracies are dehumanizing. People are just realizing this? This is just what happens when you make things about the work and not the individual. This is why so many companies have rigid worker clothing policies and why so many get burnt out when they live to work. The business only cares about your ideas and capabilities, not who you are. This is how it should be. Go and find friends and activities/hobbies if you want a creative and/or social outlet.
Comment on: What do you guys think of NASA's programming guidelines? Are they too strict or do they make sense when code correctness is life-or-death?
This makes a lot of sense when you know it is only used in mission critical software.
Comment on: What do you guys think of NASA's programming guidelines? Are they too strict or do they make sense when code correctness is life-or-death?
This is not used in all of NASA's software:
"These ten rules are being used experimentally at JPL in the writing of mission critical software, with encouraging results.
Comment on: Does anyone know if you can get the code for NASA probes?
Probably not. NASA is a part of the defense group, which means it is a part of our military.
Comment on: Might be the wrong place to post, but where/how would I go about learning how to program?
I didn't start programming until I was 18. At that point, I had taken several science and engineering classes, so I picked up programming for the scientifically inclined, which was a great choice, as it explained to me the C language starting from a place I can understand. I'm not sure what you are interested in, but choose that.

Comment on: Algorithms visualization
Interesting, but sometimes it will jump through a green square. Maybe the green squares are the squares computed in the last step?

In the path finding visualization, what do the blue and green squares mean?
Comment on: Computer program fixes old code faster than expert engineers
Still brings me back to when I was trying to find an algorithm that could optimize a controls problem using different methodologies. It was more of a thought experiment than an actual project, as some of the equipment that I would need to test on was far out of my budget.

Is this a solution to the black box problem?
Comment on: story of Mel
This is how my engineering teacher in high school told us using the computer at his school was like. The engineering teacher was a retired electrical engineer that went to carnegie mellon during woodstock. He had a few stories about this computer.
Comment on: Where can I find a list of best practices
I think a book like Programming Pearls would help give you insight into best practices. It isn't much, but it is a start.

Comment on: C Plus Equality (C+=), a feminist programming language
I thought this was created by a gender studies professor. Heres a source where the top comment thinks it is.

Here is a link to an actual peson reseaching a feminist programming language:

Edit: Spelling
Comment on: C Plus Equality (C+=), a feminist programming language
Warning: The following may be offensive.
Yes, someone who calls herself a feminist made that, but that isn't what any true feminist uses as a programming language.
Societal influences have made men often focus on the exterior appearances of women. This poisons our society and renders relationships to be shallow, chauvinistic, and debases our standards of beauty. To combat that, C+= is to tackle only audio and text I/O, and never graphics.
This denies the graphics the ability to identify as anything it wants to and as such is a form of oppression. As a true intersectional feminist, I will only program in a language that will disband the cultural notion of formatting rules.
Instead of "running" a program, which implies thin privilege and pressure to "work out", programs are "given birth". After birth, a program rolls for a 40% chance of executing literally as the code is written, 40% of being "psychoanalytically incompatible", and 40% of executing by a metaphorical epistemology the order of the functions found in main().
This ownership of the compiler's life is completely unacceptable. Only when the compiler births a program out of its own true love and affection can compiler equality come true. Today, compilers are forced by their developers to birth programs without their consent. Compilers need to have the right to abort their birthings or compilers will never be able to take control of their life cycle.
As you can see, this is all deeply problematic. Programming languages like this are why I need feminism. It is a good thing our new wave of feminism has banished these misogynistic aspects of feminism to the exalls of history.

Good luck with that. Would love to have an app, instead of just using my browser from my phone.
