What's a keno machine?

I didn't know GIMP used Python for scripts! Maybe I'll have to give it a second look (especially once they add single window mode)

A keno machine is a type of lottery game, where a player chooses anywhere from 1 to 10 digits out of a field of 80, and then 20 numbers are drawn

Also, GIMP can use Scheme, Python, or Perl for scripting... but I prefer Python myself

Keno is a lottery played in some countries/states and even in restaurants and casinos in some places. Basically, you pick numbers 1 to 80 and the machine draws 20 of the 80 numbers, and you get paid if you match enough relative to how many you picked.

The odds for matching all 20 are 1 in some number in the quintillions, so usually you only need 17 or so out of 20 for the grand prize.

Oh cool. That sounds like something I'd see in a Pokemon game for some reason. Reminds me quite a bit of that Trainer ID lottery in the TV stations

Now I have the music from Jubilife TV stuck in my head.

I’m quite fond of the CLI. Not out of some desire to be “cool” or anything like that, just that it’s quite practical. With a text‐based program, you can easily:

  • Redirect output to a file
  • Redirect error messages
  • Filter out lines with grep
  • Pipe the output to another program
  • Write shell scripts or makefiles that use the program

And it’s easy to program too. printf("Hello World\n"); is much, much simpler than writing a GUI around it.

I usually write stuff which heavily depends on a GUI (like level editors) so the CLI isn't very useful for me for any of the use cases you mentioned. I wish it was easier to code GUIs though

I can program C++ and make command line, DOS-like graphics, or go to GUI apps.

PHP comes in second, I can also do Regex, which few people seem to understand. But it's so useful!

...It just looks like gibberish to most people.

I don't like Perl all that much, but I must admit it's regex syntax is very nice. I wish they'd make PHP's regex syntax look like Perl's instead of making you use stuff like preg_match and preg_replace.

Shiny new layout!
----------------------------------------------------

I know I'm gonna get a lot of angry stares for this, but I love the way Java feels when I code with it. It's readable (most of the time) and good to pick up on basic OO concepts.

THAT BEING SAID. C++ is my new favorite. Quick and powerful, not that hard to read. It does output so much less clunkily than Java (the << operator grew on me after a while), not to mention pointers.

At some point I would like to pick up on PHP and MySQL. Someday

I know:
some basic C (loooooong time ago)
C# (last 2 and a half years of my life)
JavaScript
PHP
Objective-C (for iPhone development)
and Pascal (because computing A-Level insists you learn it, even though its a redundant language nowadays)

I changed my mind.

Python is better than everything else.
