Taking a course on OpenGL Graphics programming in university right now. We use GLM. It seems pretty good. If I'm not mistaken this is a (potential) replacement for GLM? If anyone knows GLM well could they discuss the differences between the two libraries? Is this worth investing time into?

Why do you bring this up? Is this more ideal? I thought writing inline css was an accepted awful thing to do. Or is that just a simplification for new developers? Why do you benefit from doing this?

Wow, I guess this is what would have happened online during World War II if it happened in modern times. Interesting historic landmark as far as information dissemination during confrontations/wars.

For the young dudes like me could you explain why?

I see, thanks for pointing that out.

Maybe my view of NLP is more sci-fi than reality, but I think you're missing what I meant. If you can use NLP to prove that your comment - ie the intent - which IS invisible to the compiler and IDE, then that might be cool. Practical, probably not. But I'd still be very impressed at the implications if this was possible within some error margin.

Do you really think the time spend writing a comment is comparable to improving the code? Personally, I can't think of an occasion where that would have been true.

I don't mean this negatively, but in my experience as a high schooler and in college, the programming crowd tended to be lacking in written (communication) skills. This is certainly a huge blanket statement, but for younger programmers today I think the stereotype has at least some truth.

Brings up an interesting point about perhaps using natural language processing to determine correctness of a comment. That would be prettty cool.

Then you misunderstood, or I am perpetually misunderstanding. The comment that I responded to asked for a way to use this product to send actual text messages. He wanted to relay a message to another phone via this product and then have his phone send an actual text message using information from the initial message. I gave a suggestion about how to do that.

I mean, I know it's not secure. But I had no clue it was down-vote-not-secure!

It could be a whole lot simpler than this. (And a whole less secure.) In high school I had a server running that scanned email for a keyword and my cellphone number; I didn't have a smartphone. So I texted a keyword and some code to my email. Then my server would read the email, see it contained the keyword, then interpret the rest of the code I sent and execute it. This would be insanely easy (and not too secure) to implement on Android for instance.
