2017-02-18 at 11:13 PM UTCAnime is dark and terrifying and depressing. After a while the blatant escapism becomes obvious and predictable enough that it just reminds you how terrible the real world is. That's the point where it gets good. I swear to god watching a high school club-based anime is like the mirror image of reading a kafka novel. Where K. is meekly prodded along, caught up in a bizarre and incomprehensible bureaucracy club-anime characters actively participate in their own private trials, where Kafka aims to horrify the reader with the byzantine workings of the system the club anime seeks to invest the viewer in them personally. And I don't think anime creators even realize what they've created, which makes it worse.
A thousand animators at a thousand keyboards will eventually produce I Have No Mouth and they won't even know they did it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2017-02-18 at 11:24 PM UTCI'm honestly thinking about eventually building a relatively simple robot with some basic programmable functions, speech and movement, using a kit for the internals, which could be controlled with a smartphone. It would have a highly realistic silicone outer layer. Of course it would be in the likeness of Shinobu, and I would carry it around on my shoulders while outside.
Oh! trackers for a virtual/augmented reality overlay as well.
Last night I was watching Oculus Cinema in bed under a comforter and I noticed that if I grabbed something that above it it almost felt like holding hands with a waifu in the next seat...Wait a minute, why the hell hasn't someone created a mod to let you add a waifu next to you? It's so obvious. Anyway, that combined with the actual hand of my doll, which could also have mechanism for warming the skin, would feel just like the real thing.
My goal is to exist in a perpetual state of moe. It must be what Buddha felt like... -

As I was walking home from Taco Bell after a Big Box meal (quite filling for $6, seems to be $1 extra at least in (most) of the bay) and naked chicken chalupa I had a chuckle at how gloomy the scenery looked as the sun was setting, with some dark clouds in the air and crows on bare branches.
The overwhelming majority of the real world really is terrible. -

"Victorique-chan is my waifu."
You can please explain what that means?? Please -

it would be much cheaper to rip a quad copter servos out then spend money working on your own software and sync to set up such a robotic device. so in short, you wouldn't be the inventor. so it cost a lot of money to do shit from scratch. anytime you hack parts.. you're just a hacker and not an inventor. I'm just trying to sound smart. I want to learn things :(
what's the easiest way to learn C++ someone said start with the most basic code which is HTML5 and go to python and then C++ but I'm told Python is the most advanced. If I was born 10-15 years later I would of known so much more. -

Use google. I'm sure SpectraL can give you some tips on how to be a google-pro. -

Do you have any prior programming experience? Do you need to learn C++ specifically?
If your answers are:
No and No: Python is probably a sane decision. There are a number of useful, modern, unoffensive, general purpose programming languages and python is my favorite among them
Yes and No: Use what you know, why would to give a shit about C++?
Yes and Yes: Gird your loins and never close this tab.
No and Yes: Pick up K&R C, work through it, then read an introductory text on C++ or just dive in using the STL docs. This could well take you multiple years but nothing in C++ is meaningful if you don't understand C at least on an intellectual level. C++ is regarded as probably the most complex programming language to ever see major adoption, people who have been programming for decades fear it. It's actually a beautiful and interesting language in a lot of ways but it's hard to find a longer rope to hang yourself with than C++. -

I know html is for webpages but the bracket system I'm told is similar to computer languages. i mean it is still a language. right?
google is pure evil. When I pick people up from the campus out near Stanford the map spins on my gps and then i hear chuckling from the employees. they have google vans following me too.

That's a bit cynical, innit? I agree that 99% of people who don't already know C++ or don't need to learn it would probably have their everyday computer programming needs fulfilled by something simpler. But if you're actually interested in learning your shit, then C++ is a great learning experience.
Although I think we'd agree that it shouldn't be anyone's first language or even second, third or fourth language they learn. I generally point people towards codecademy and tell them to learn the web dev stack to start.
