belltyler··on Programming Quotes
"If debugging is the art of finding bugs, programming must be the art of creating them."
belltyler··on Thanks for the Surprise Integration with My Website, Apple
It is a legit Apple app, released alongside iOS 12. Apple bought the app called Workflow which they've made their own, rebranding it to Shortcuts.
belltyler··on Xinu – A small, elegant operating system
What you’re wanting is CS 503!

Edit: Purdue’s CS 503.

belltyler··on Ask HN: What was your best $1000 investment?
Awesome! True the returns wont be in money, but they'll be in GAINS.
belltyler··on List of Dirty, Naughty, Obscene, and Otherwise Bad Words
Just an obvious heads up, this is NSFW.

belltyler··on Japanese firm to open world’s first robot-run farm
I read this "robot-fun farm" and was very intrigued, haha.
belltyler··on Twitter, to Save Itself, Must Scale Back World-Swallowing Ambitions
Obviously they could add it - it wouldn't be hard. Just because it doesn't have feature X doesn't mean it's bad. At that point it's a conscious decision to exclude that feature. Poor performing mobile sites? That is something they could for sure address, especially with the engineering power they have, I agree.
belltyler··on Twitter, to Save Itself, Must Scale Back World-Swallowing Ambitions
Twitter's been around for 10 years—and maybe it's just my perception—but I feel like the tech. media has never done anything but hate on them. It's well-founded criticism at times, sure, but at what point does it become a loop of negative attitudes simply based on pre-existing negative attitudes? That's just my take on the whole thing. I personally have some confidence in Twitter and have nothing poor to say about their product / direction.
belltyler··on Why Learn to Program in C?
I took a very similar sounding course at Purdue (CS 503) and would second all of these sentiments.
belltyler··on XINU OS – Xinu Is Not Unix
I took the CS OS grad. course at Purdue last semester that taught OS principles using XINU. Overall, I think the OS is great. Used primarily for embedded systems (routers were the common example) it was simple, quite extensible and fun to learn.
belltyler··on It is now easy to edit the genomes of plants, animals and humans
I came here to post the same thing - an awesome listen.
belltyler··on No, you're not 'running late', you're rude and selfish
I am enjoying the comments of people making counter-arguments to this post as they're probably the ones this article is directed towards.

Generic Example: "I'm not late to the morning meeting, I just not a morning person." No, sorry, you're still late.

belltyler··on Show HN: AI QLearning Robot Simulation in JavaScript and WebGL
It seems like board is kept as a grid and merely represented with three.js; look into the page's source and you'll see a GameBoard object as well as its logic.
belltyler··on Show HN: 'Halo' ring three.js small demo
If it seems super blurry, that's by design. I wanted to make it seem like you were viewing it from the 'depths of space' if you will. ;)
