   This is a very good point. Basically bounding the worst case can be more valuable than optimizing for a specific use case.

   Well, like everything in life, it's not perfect. However, after initially intensely disliking the language, I found out that I was surprisingly productive, and that the lack of abstractions made for very readable code. The toolchain an

   Does 4k matter? The way you state it makes it sound like it's a major issue (disclaimer: I've never seen a 4k game) This is an honest question, since I don't game much (witcher 3, death stranding and a few point and click) ,

   Thanks. LTO definitely looks like the more natural option.

   Very interesting. I especially like the second item. What happens if the function you want to differentiate calls multiple other functions, in multiple other compilation units? (I haven't read the paper yet but definitely will)

   You're not alone, unfortunately. 17 years ago, I went to the office, and by 10am, my right hand wouldn't move much . This wasn't exceedingly pleasant, and was a fairly common case of cts/rsi/etc. I had had rsi issue

   Fifteen years ago I spent three weeks in Pakistan (as part of a significantly longer trip) - entered from the Indian side not far from Amritsar, went to Lahore, spent some time in rawalpindi then off to the Hunza. I also got the nastiest bo

   It's more reliable than sms - I used not to receive some of the texts people would send me, which caused all kinds of misunderstandings. I ended up doing experiments with friends sitting beside me just to prove my point. The same thing

    This happened to me (math background, now write software), so I decided to fix it : I read most of the classic textbooks over the course of a few years, and tried to apply what I learned in them at my day job (provided that it was useful

    Indeed! I very much agree with the model vs sequence opposition. Another useful side of the model / math approach is that it allows you to formalize your problem and derive hard bounds, ie know in advance what's achievable and wha

    There are two different problems actually : what you write, and the quantitative aspects of your code. What you write may or may not have a strong maths component ( game engine vs crud app say, or PDE solver vs typical 'plumbing'

    Heating houses : https://qarnot.com/en/home/ Basically they install 'heaters' in your house which are actually servers in disguise. I think they also have a boiler now. They're not the only ones tho

    Indeed! This reminds of a fun issue I ran into years ago with simd code(gcc, linux) . I was experimenting with various vector sizes, and found significant slowdowns for some vector sizes. I was about to call it quits, as in 'well, I&#x

    Not really - this is a different issue : generic problems vs out of the box behaviour. I expect Bluetooth to work out of the box on a Lenovo laptop in 2018, while I don't expect Linux to work well at all. I've been using linux sin

    I'm not sure I understand. - both uberx and uber pool are legal in France - uber black elsewhere is a luxury service, which French uberx is not - maybe we don't have the same definition of professional driver, but you need them t
