You can meaningfully address others who may be following the exchange, but it's mostly meaningless to address a person who can't see your posting. It COULD conceivably happen that someone else would quote your text in its entirety, but that's a very slim chance. Also, please stop top-posting, or bottom-quoting (whatever). At one time, like twenty years ago, my Usenet signature about top-posting made it into a database FAQ, of all things. Thought I should mention it, that it's not so smart to insist on knowing better than the old-timers. --- Now, you've been pretty secretive about the external COM-like objects that you're dealing with. There are three and half main contenders: actual COM objects, Java JNI objects, XCOM objects, and possibly homegrown game support objects. Regardless, you should use the tools for the kind that you're dealing with, to generate C and C++ interfaces that correspond exactly to the binary level layout, and use the documentation for that kind to figure out lifetime management and so on – it differs greatly, depending on the kind of object. For COM and XCOM use the MIDL compiler. It takes an IDL interface definition as input and generates C and C++ code. Cheers!, - Alf |

If I have to take your classification of my posting style as an example I'm afraid you wouldn't recognise either even if it would spit you in the eyes ... Can you make sense of what I'm saying ? Can you recognise whom I'm responding to ? Can you recognise the (marked!) point where you really do not need to continue reading anymore, as below it is aan integral copy of the responded-to post ? If so than stop complaining about someone not doing something exactly way you prefer to see it. :-( And yes, *you*. Do not confuse to be able to point to something someone has written once as a right to force others to obey it. The word extremism is not only applicable to religion (particulary including christianity) you know. :-( If you want to control how and what others may do than I suggest you set up a moderated subforum (take CLAX86 for example). That way you can kick the shit outof anyone not doing exactly what you want them to do. :-) Also, why haven't you responded to my questions in my previous message to you (GUI framework and other) ? If you want to be able to demand some kind of behaviour from other people (in regard to some Usenet "rules" -- which, with the absence of a policing body, can only be guidelines), than should you than not be the first one to do so yourself (in regard to common decency -- answering questions that directed to you in regard to comments you made) ? In short, when you're the pot you should definitily *not* be the one who complains about the kettle being black. Right ? Right. Furthermore, why do you think that repeating your stance while refusing to even acknowledge a response to it the first time you posted it will gain you any respect ? I've got news for you: It doesn't. Quite the reverse actually. Regards, Rudy Wieser -- Origional message: Alf P.

Not quite. I do not expect a single line per se, I will even allow the people who actually *help* me to use multiple lines (how's that for arrogance ? And yes, in case you did not understand, that was a joke) But the comparision between multiple full-page posts not even giving an indication of working to *anything*, let alone an answer to the question (effectivily saying nothing but for continued complaints about not having enough information) and on the other hand someone who understood the question enough to respond with a single line that was spot on is ... remarkable to say the least, don't you think ? If even if you multiple-full-page-of-saying-nothing responders could meet Kalle's method a quarter of the way I would have a *much* larger chance of actually getting an answer. I mean, any chance larger than Zero can be considered "much larger", can't it ? :-) >Any other form of communication than that will give him > grief, suck him dry, stick in his hair, make him very tired > and so on.

This is long before MS accepted that there was anyone using anything other than Windows and MS programs. Thus the encoding his messages use is Windows-1251, not utf-8 like almost everyone else these days, and because it is a Microsoft program from that era, the messages are not marked with the encoding. You are using Google Groups, which is an equally horrendous news client (but bad in different ways). It appears unable to guess the correct encoding, and assumes it is utf-8, resulting in messed up characters. Ignoring the actual /content/ of Rudy's posts, which are a level of arrogance and rudeness that I have rarely seen in newsgroups, the letters of your name come through fine for me when read with Thunderbird. It looks like the combination of two bad news clients is needed for the problem. |

Kiddo, you do not even seem to understand the difference between a possibility and a proven fact. For the rest, Good luck with your "jokes", and good luck with Alf and your attempt to find a bystander so you can agree with each other how all you guys did was right, and "that other" had everything wrong. It doesn't take away the fact that you didn't understand the question (though someone else had no problem with doing so), even though it was one of the simpelest, most concise you could ever get. *And* it was even accompanied with the relevant example code ! Kiddo, you might think the world of your prowess, but you've shown that it doesn't ammount to much. And your "bedside manners" -- where you pull stuff outof your ass ("wrappers" and "big mess") and present it as truth -- leaves something to be desired too. Goodbye. Rudy Wieser P.s.

One would think they were retarded, if it were not for the strong association between mathematics and intelligence. Still, I think they're generally retarded communications-wise, and that this contributes much to the inaccessibility of Wikipedia pages about math. Even the pages about basic stuff are pretty much impenetrable. Apparently they simply don't grok how to communicate, or, more basically, how knowledge and understanding evolves in the reader's mind.

That seems extremely harsh criticism. The paper is clearly not written for /you/, or anyone else who is not already familiar with graduate-level mathematics in the field of complexity theory. For papers at this level, you might expect perhaps a dozen people in the world will be able to read it reasonably fluently and understand it as they do so - most experts in the same field will take days or weeks to study through it to see how it works. It will be months, perhaps years, before there is a consensus in the mathematical community about its correctness and the almost inevitable small errors or missing justifications. Proving P ≠ NP is a big deal - it is so important, and so hard, that there is a million dollar prize resting on it. Mathematicians have their own way of writing and their own symbolic languages - just because /you/ don't understand them, does not make them "hopeless" or "retarded". There is nothing in that article that is remotely complex in the symbols. Beyond the first couple of pages, the paper is way out of my league - but the use of symbols seems entirely reasonable. If I had one complaint, it would be that the text is too compact. The paper would benefit from a good deal more white space and perhaps some examples of the terms and definitions (mathematicians are rightly wary of examples - it is too easy to assume generalisations from them). This paper - if it is shown to be valid - is a milestone in the computing world. If it is contains flaws, it will join the growing list of failed proofs for P ≠ NP, but perhaps help someone else move forward. |

Mathematicians have searched for best ways for representing their work and communication for centuries. If the result seems incomprehensible to you then it might be because you are not a mathematician or not doing active research in mathematics. It appears to me that you are confusing the mathematical language with a programming language. Yes, in programming languages one needs to maintain old code for many years, often without thorough understanding how exactly it works. Using self-explanatory names helps with this task (to some extent). In maths, there is no such "maintenance" needed. The closest to "maintenance" would be developing the theory further and to write a new article based on the old one. But this is not possible without thorough understanding of the topic. Once you have got the thorough understanding then you already know the difference between Gothic D and Latin D, or whatever other symbols, and using some long names instead of them would just slow down both the author and the knowledgeable readers. This does not mean mathematical markup cannot be enhanced, there are many examples of this happening (Leibniz vs Newton, Einstein's summation convention, Feynman diagrams, etc). However, replacing established mathematical symbols with long descriptive names would not be an enhancement, at least not for mathematicians themselves. Cheers Paavo |

The Julia programming language allows for unicode characters to be used for variable names and in all text. You can create real var names like the pi symbol, or delta, epsilon, etc. I've actually thought that would be a neat feature in general. Thank you, Rick C. Hodgin |

There are three major problems with unicode characters for identifier names. One is that it is very difficult and inconvenient to type many of them, especially for Windows users who have fewer symbols by default, usually no dead keys or compose key, and no convenient way to add new symbols to key combinations. You have to add additional keyboard layouts and switch to Greek layouts (or Hebrew, or whatever has the symbols you want). Or you have a character applet, or need an IDE with toolbars or other support. Second is that many fonts don't have many additional symbols, and many editors can't handle font substitutions well. And third, there are many unicode characters that look identical or very similar. Should these be matched to the same identifier, or different identifiers? The rules here would be a serious pain - should you map "Greek capital letter alpha" Α to the same identifier as "Latin capital letter A" A ? It seems not unreasonable to allow unicode identifiers so that people can write their code in their own language, but it is not without its challenges. |
