Has anyone here worked with the Gambit Library:

http://www.gambit-project.org/

I want to calculate basic equilibria (maybe at Cardrunners EV level?) for Pot Limit Omaha, but there are no commercial programs for this yet. Is it feasible for me to learn Python and accomplish this through the scripting API or would I need to learn C++? I am a programming newb.

11+ miles 2700 feet of climbing, misplaced 2 people for a couple of scary hours. Made it to within about a mile of the summit but didn't have the legs to climb another 1800 feet in that mile. 6.5 hours of moving over 8 hours and I can barely walk today... Good times!

Green Mountain is about the worst I've done, ~2300:<3, lots of stair stepping which I won't be a fan of until I drop some weight. Tough to train for 5+ hour hikes though which is almost as hard as doing a lot of climbing.

Anyone see GorillaScript?

Looks like a pretty cool project, but one thing bothers me:

How is:

Code:

let gorillas-are-awesome = "Yes, they are."

more clear than:

Code:

var gorillasAreAwesome;
gorillasAreAwesome = "Yes, they are.";

?

In mind mind, there is a bright and thick line between "let" and "var." Let being local and var being global. What is the justification of using let instead of var in this case? He also uses "let" to define function names.

Why would there be a bright and thick line on a use of a keyword that extends across all languages?

"Var" means "This entity is variable and permanent and can exist in the global space."

"Let" can be expanded to "Let this entity be this value exist for this moment and only exists in the local function I am using it."

In fact, MDN says let is defined in JS 1.7 with a very specific definition:

Quote:

Declares a block scope local variable, optionally initializing it to a value.

Seriously: Just because Gorillascript compiles to Javascript, there's no reason to conflate the two languages.

I was simply wondering why he chose to use let instead of var. Perhaps there was a clarifying issue yadda yadda.

Putting aside conflation for the moment, how does the (gs -> js) conversion handle the var and let difference if all of them are the same type on the gs side but should be different on the js side?

Eh, maybe its not that important but I'm interested in what the creator may have been thinking.

I think that would be a good place to start, and build from there if you are inclined.

it appears that in gorillascript references created with let are immutable by default.

Any suggestions for an XML Editor to use for my XML course this summer?

The instructor said he uses XML Copy Editor and the textbook recommends jEdit, but the instructor says to use whatever we want.

Xcode has a pretty good built in xml editor if you're on a mac.

Started 1 week contract, had to work with Eclipse for the first time for me, whatever.

Had to google/manually install a ****ing plugin just to get ****ing word wrap. Amazing.

Obviously the fact that they put me on a PC with a single 19" 4:3 monitor to do front end web dev didn't help. 1WP.

It's so stupid when development environments that want you to use their editors.

And I'm still mad that Apple took a step back into the dark ages with Xcode 4.

So I'm messing around with HTML / CSS in the hopes of getting a personal site up and running. Not my favorite languages but hey, what are you going to do?

I learned that Word can save file types as HTML, which I think is awesome. I plan on using Word to generate most of my pages that just contain text / pictures to make formatting easier.

http://www.indiana.edu/~halllab/

^ The above website definitely uses Word for the pages. But it looks to me like he has a more universal navigation bar. Is it possible to have a constant title, centered on top of all webpages, and a vertical navigation bar to the side of all webpages, without changing the Word source for each individual page?

tl;dr I know how to put a list of links on every page, but am wondering if there is a more universal way to do site navigation.

ah, why php became so popular

Code:

<?php include('navigation.html'); ?>

but you should just use wordpress

Thanks. http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_includes.asp looks like it has examples of that

Would the halllab site use something like that then? When I view page source and control-find 'php', I don't get any results.

Also, maybe I will just use WordPress.

I'm about half way to my 3 week deadline with that rails project. So far I've read 3/4ths of eloquent ruby, watched 20 random railscasts videos and I don't think I'll miss the deadline.

Right now the only thing I'm unsure of is how I want to handle displaying the admin panel's contents. It seems using generators in rails is really popular but generators are just copy/pasting basically. I'm not sold on making an engine because an engine based admin panel doesn't seem to make sense.

It's also what turned me off from devise. It just adds so much unnecessary complication when you have controllers/views in the engine because you end up overwriting the views anyways. So now you have half the views in your /app folder and the untouched ones in your /gems folder outside of the project.

I might just try and make my own generators? What is the best way to do this? Also when it comes time to doing the front end, do you just use different layouts to handle outputting the same resource in 2 different ways based on the URL accessed?

Example:
In /dashboard/posts, you would likely lists posts in a table and it would be consumed by an admin.
In /blog, you would likely list posts in a typical blog style that is consumed by visitors.

In both cases they would use the same Post model and I guess the same controller?
