    Then when the car tells the pissed off person to calm down they get more angry. Yes good luck.
     
    Shitty angry drivers and shitty people will always be just that. No piece of technology will ever change that, the only thing that will is themselves.

    Frodo got a reaction from MikeD in Logic in Computer Programming   
    Some things I would like to add: (hope it's not too late :unsure: )
    1) Explain what Logic is
    You can begin with a bit history. First research in this field was done by philosophers in the ancient world. Today the most known mathematical logic is propositional calculus, which is a boolean algebra (like already mentioned). But there are also more complex formes of mathematical logics, e.g. predicate logic. There is enough material out there about this stuff.
     
    2) Explain what computer programming is
    Computer programming is telling a computer how to solve a mathematically specified problem, in which way doesn't matter. Different approaches to computer programming are also called programming paradigmes. Imperativ programming is basically giving sequential instructions in combination with flow control (if - then -else; loops). Functional programming would be another paradigm. It is more mathematical and describes the problem to solve, instead of describing the way to solving it.
     
    3) Explain how Logic is used in regards to computer programming
    As I mentioned there are many programming paradigmes and one of them is logic programming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_programming). The most famous example of a logic programming language is Prolog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog). Basically you write down facts and rules that describe your problem. Then you can ask certain questions and you will get the result. Prolog performes this on basis of mathematical logic, it tests satisfiablility etc.
     
    Furthermore logics is heavily used in hardware development, eg FPGA programming using VHDL. (not exactly sure if this is relevant for you)
     
    Hope i could give you some more ideas for your paper.

    Frodo reacted to perplex in Project - Prevent Destruction   
    Hey Guys,
     
    This isn't a real build log but its similar. The story behind it is, My youngest brother (20 years of age) has disability's, the main one is Autism, in the past 5 years hes began breaking things, so i have to think of ways to stop him breaking it and build it. Things hes done are, broken 7 laptop screens by snapping them, breaking doors off the hinge, broken 3 tv's by snapping the screen or pouring water down the back of them, breaking tv controllers, media players ect
     
    Ive given him one of the old laptops of the screen hes broken, but its to slow and hes broken the keys on the keyboard, they also are covered in chocolate milk and abit sticky... ect. So for his 21st birthday, i thought i would get him more of a computer what will be faster, but ill have to stop him from pouring water over it, and this is what i came up with, ill also post extra picture of what else ive done at the end, hope you enjoy and hope if anyone else has or knows someone like this, maybe this can help them
     

    This is the start, where i just varnished it
     

    The insides
     

    With the Side on
     

    This is where the USB ports are going to go
     

    Should look something like this
     

    The bottom of them
     

    The ON button :P
     

    This is the Dell computer i got for cheap and you can see the wires for my external button and fan
     

    It will go into that corner covering the power points
     

    The computer inside the box after i bolted the box to the side of the table
     

    With the side on ready to get set down
     

    This is what it looks like Inside its box
     

    Finished product
     

    Finished product
     

    Finished product
     

    Installed for his birthday, while he was at school (special place for the day) and its bolted to the wall, so he cant do anything to it
     

    2 weeks later snapped the keyboard so i had to do this, its glued to the wood
     
    Screwed down here

     
    I found out couple of months later that my job wasn't finished with the screen, i put perspex on the top to stop him pouring water down it but i caught him picking the monitor up and putting it on the side to pour water down.. so it had to be fixed and this is what i came up with
     

    This is it, all ready to be installed
     

    This is the back of it, for the cable management :P i put the wood there so he cant push the monitor back
     

    Fully installed, bolted down and the screen cant move
     

    Everything completed!!
     
    So yea hope you liked, here are the extra picture i took of things i made for him
     

    The Tv, stop him touching it with acrylic perspex screen, and water proof with the speakers and its bolted to the wall
     

    His Media player, the last one he kept smacking it on the desk and after about 6 months and 200+ times getting hit on the desk the hard drive finally gave up and died, so i got a new media player and hard drive and put it inside
     

    The controllers, he use to snap them, i didnt use to have the acrylic perspex on the top but he managed to break a controller buy hitting it with his calculator....
     

    This is his computer screen, acrylic perspex screen and over the heat vents at the top so water cant go down, there is a gap on the side so some hot air can excape, you can also see the chocolate milk on the side of the screen where he has tried to pour it in :P
     

    This is again acrylic perspex over the stained glass because it use to push his hand through it and break it...
     
    Well that just about does it, with most of the things ive done
     
    Everything was cut out with a CNC machine my other brother owns and cut out for me
     
    Hope you enjoyed it and hope it helps anyone else who is dealing with these issues :)

    Frodo got a reaction from WanderingFool in Is hardware becoming to complex for the average programmer to take advantage of?   
    Sadly it won't work like that. The compiler can't do all the hard work for you. It is extremely important to use and develop algorithms that can be parallelized in a sufficient way. If you choose an inappropriate (for parallelization) algorithm the compiler can't do anything about it. Furthermore it is a very hard problem to automatically find data dependency and therefore automatically parallelize a program.
    It might be easier when using other programming paradigms like functional programming but currently I can't see that we are moving away from imperativ programming. (for some good reasons I guess)
