Remove Filter  | I've been working on the GUI portion of my [C++ Connect-N game project](https://github.com/Schol-R-LEA/ConnectN), and have gotten it to would could charitably be called a working state. However, the game AI, not to put it to finely, stinks. I was wondering if anyone here has more experience in implementing a minmax … |
| | [Ranged Numeric Types in C++](https://github.com/Schol-R-LEA/Ranged-Numeric-Types-for-CPP) I've started writing a simple template class for automating range checking in specialized numeric types, inspired by the ranged types in languages such as Pascal and Ada. At the moment it is mainly meant for integer types, though I've made it flexible enough that it …  |

| | In a post earlier today, I asserted that Intel wanted to get rid of the x86 platform. It occurred to me that a lot of folks may not understand this claim, but there are good reasons for it. They have made at least three attempts at doing so, in fact, …  |
| | In light of the regular if slow traffic in certain specialized questions - especially regarding operating systems development and compiler development - I would like to suggest that a sticky be added to the Software Development forum giving links to specialized sites such as OSDev.org, where those sorts of questions …  |
| | Imagine knowing from an early age that you are different somehow, but can't understand how - or worse, you *do* know, but can't get anyone else to believe you. Imagine feeling that something is wrong with you, that the person you seem to be on the outside isn't who you …  |
| | I am currently making out the plans for the milestones for the rest of this year in my long-term projects (Thelema, Assiah, and Alfheim). I was hoping that someone would be able to review these plans and help me determine which are feasible in the next four months. The overall …  |
| | **note:** This was also posted to the [comp.lang.scheme](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.lang.scheme) earlier today. I normally wouldn't cross-post, but after I noticed the extremely low traffic on the newsgroup, I decided to try a more active, if less specialized, forum. As part of a larger project, I am writing a macro that defines a … |
| | In most modern languages, there are two fundamental approaches to repeating an action: either *iteration*, in which an action is placed inside a special-purpose structure which causes the action to be repeated, or *recursion*, in which a general-purpose function calls itself (or another function which in turn calls the earlier …  |
| | I am currently working on a new language design in the Lisp family, which I am calling 'Thelema'. It is intended to be a multi-paradigm language which is related loosely to Scheme and, to a lesser extent, Common Lisp, but with modern concepts such as package management, support for object … |
| | I would like to propose a link thread for posting listings of sites on CS topics not tied to a specific language. Two that come to mind as being relevant to some of the more common questions would be the [OS Dev Wiki](http://www.osdev.org), and the similarly themed but less established …  |
| | (Note: This was previously posted at [url]http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/3426459#new[/url] , but received no responses after four days.)

| | I [url=http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/threads/364777]recently discussed[/url] some problems I had had in getting PyODBC working with Django and Django-pyodbc, but at the time it was decided to switch to an ASP.NET solution instead. For various reasons, we are trying once again to set up Django and PyODBC, and while we've had some success, … |
| | I am making a last-ditch effort to get Django 1.3 configured to talk to SQL Server (both running on the same Windows 7 system), before I have to make a final decision whether to move on to ASP.NET instead. I am using PyODBC (I had tried PyMSSQL but was recommended … |
