    B Baccarat math and beating the edge

    Okay, so the title is a bit clickbaity as most people will say baccarat isn't a beatable game, and I'm on the fence myself, but only because I have tons of questions that I can't seem to find reasonable answers to. I think doing the math will help me, but it's been quite a while since I did...

    B Black Holes: Can Anything Reduce Their Size?

    D'oh. I feel like I knew this, too. Thanks for the reminder :)

    B Black Holes: Can Anything Reduce Their Size?

    Thanks for the answer. That's what I figured the likely answer would be: no Would there be any benefit to speeding up that process (if it were possible and plausible to do so) aside from maybe preventing a head on collision with one, if one were detected to be heading towards us? When a BH...

    B Black Holes: Can Anything Reduce Their Size?

    Yeah, I know about Hawking Radiation, but that's a natural and slow process, right? Is there any other way that could happen by a man-made approach that would accelerate the evaporation?

    B Black Holes: Can Anything Reduce Their Size?

    I'm pretty sure I know the responses I'm going to get, as this question is pretty silly, but I'll ask anyway. Is there anything - a process, or a material, that would reduce the size of a black hole and/or evaporate it away quickly, or is that just hocus pocus thinking?

    Can Uneven Heating and Mechanical Rotation Generate Winds?

    Gotcha. I'll def check out windy.com, thanks!

    Can Uneven Heating and Mechanical Rotation Generate Winds?

    Thanks for the explanation! Are viscous forces the only forces we'd be able to created in a closed system? Would we need basically a planet to create a non-computational model of Earth like winds?

    Can Uneven Heating and Mechanical Rotation Generate Winds?

    Oh cool! Yes, the term is exactly what I was looking for. Googling "wind box" or "wind in a box" returns some interesting results, but nothing that helped my question. Thank you!

    Duplicating PF-like thread posting on my own site for my 5 colleagues

    Can Uneven Heating and Mechanical Rotation Generate Winds?

    I've had a question bugging me lately and no matter how much I google, I can't seem to find an answer. I'm sure this probably isn't possible, and my logic is probably flawed (Earth sciences isn't my forte), so I figured I'd ask you fine folks here. First, my understanding of wind, it's caused...

    Working on a compiler, need some opinions

    Agreed. My plan once the original compiler was stable and working as best as I could possibly get it, I'd go through and figure out what I did wrong, how to fix it/enhance it, and so on. I was definitely frustrated with the initial responses, then I figured anyone who's telling me not to...

    Working on a compiler, need some opinions

    That's fair, I'm sorry for misunderstanding your connotation. I'm not sure how else I could've taken it when it seemed you were attacking my opinion of VB and a bunch of other silly things, but water under the bridge. I was asking for opinions on a specific thing, though, not the whole project...

    Working on a compiler, need some opinions

    I respectfully disagree. If I wanted to program it in Java, Python, C, or C++, I would have. The choice of language is largely irrelevant unless you want it to be across multiple platforms. If I were working in an open source community on this, I'd join an open source VB6 group (they still...

    Working on a compiler, need some opinions

    Awesome, thank you! I'll be doing some research this week to figure out how this all works and how to implement it, but this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks! I managed to have caught your post pre-edit, so I'm assuming this is the same as the previous link? What I would eventually...

    Working on a compiler, need some opinions

    I'll try once more to explain, because it seems you're telling what I need to do and I've already done all of that. I have already: * A lexer * Parser * Assembler Taking: Dim a(5,3) As Integer Already runs through a tokenizer, and for all intents and purposes, outputs: [Keyword]...
