Just use the pencil tool in GIMP instead of the brush.

But I'm saying that that doesn't apply to Josh's parser

I wish that GTK search box was better documented.

« on: August 24, 2009, 01:37:08 pm »Compiler optimizations aside, ++i is faster than i++, because i++ has to create a copy of i to evaluate to and increment the real one, while ++i just increments it.No.
The only difference between i++ and ++i is when it is incremented - you still have to reference the variable if you are using it as part of another expression. No copies are created, either.
Rusky: Reinventing the wheel is good.
1- It allows you to improve.
2- Any bugs and you can find them pretty easily, as it's your own code
3- It's specialized. You can make your own optimizations.
4- Human-written is almost always better than auto-generated.

Wikipedia says:
In computer science and linguistics, parsing, or, more formally, syntactic analysis, is the process of analyzing a text, made of a sequence of tokens (for example, words), to determine its grammatical structure with respect to a given (more or less) formal grammar.
That's pretty much what it does. Reads through the "tokens" (variables, operators, numbers, etc) and determines the structure - without which it is completely impossible to insert the semicolons.
And by the way, modifications at a lower level does not equal bug-prone. I have proved this many times.

« on: August 23, 2009, 07:46:06 pm »Good thing you like fake, hard-coded, inflexible, unreadable, take-forever-to-write parsers.Okay, let's pick that apart...
Fake? It parses. There's no fake about it, and I can see no possible way for a working parser to be fake.
Hard-coded/Inflexible? How do you make a fully-customizable parser, then? Why would you need to?
Unreadable? You must have never touched a programming language before.
Take-forever-to-write? Josh chooses how long Josh programs.
Good thing I like trolls.

« on: August 17, 2009, 10:38:01 am »I've tried several AMD processors, and I've tried Intel, and AMD just seems to work better for me. Cores only matter if it's optimized for the cores, and it can be optimized for a certain kind of processor as well. Also, the graphics card can be a serious factor as well on games as well, and the motherboard might affect the graphics a bit as well. I doubt they all have the same mobo, so it's a biased test. Get a simple program that does some calculations and returns the time it took and use that as a benchmark; not how fast each computer can play Crysis.You're boring me now. And that takes a lot to achieve.

I cringed when I saw "first", I still don't understand your signature, and that post looks like those random hallucinations and meaningless thoughts you get just before you sleep.
