Shitty tools lead to wasted time. True for programming, and apparently also for appliance installations. Good job on pulling through, though.

tl;dr: it‘s a fast and simple (~5 LOCs) PRNG that has garnered some attraction in the computer chess community.

It’s meltdown proof in principle since the process goes into an equilibrium rather than into a runaway process.

Without knowing what they actually use, I feel comfortable to state that the industry has moved on from Contraction Hierarchies to somewhat more flexible techniques. These allow you to take traffic information and road closures, and user pr

Storing the distances for all pairs is prohibitively expensive. Also, you'd need to store the path information as well. Fortunately, road networks exhibit a lot of hierarchical structure. For example, when going far away, you will almo

This is a result on 8 bit numbers, right? Why not precompute all 64k possible combinations and look up the results from the table?

Where are the numbers?

Yes, indeed that’s a bait and switch. There were changes in price, features, availability dates and so on.

Classic bait and switch setup. Selling people the future in 2 years time with little to nothing to show for today. Timelines will slip, plans will change, software won‘t be ready, prices will change. And that doesn’t even account for where

tl;dr: they aim to hire great people. But doesn’t really explain how to build a great team.

Feels very relatable. A couple of years after Y2K I was asked by the employer at the time to join an multi-billion internal project that was run almost exclusively by contractors. I think the task was to convert a Fortran monolith into Java

Language clunkiness has jumped the shark.

A neat thing in Wolfenstein is the use of LFSR to transition the screen to red when you die. https://fabiensanglard.net/fizzlefade/

Even after the summer heat the reactor availability in France had trouble inching above 2/3 for a number of reasons. One of them being age of the installations and related unplanned outages.

Assuming this will be used as FUD on EVs. But the gasoline freezes at -45C, too. Diesel does at -18C. Just saying.

Happy to sign all the necessary NDAs and to port them to 64 bit, newer iOS versions and devices for free.

The difference is recuperation of EVs.

That sounds suspiciously like the office location where you‘d see big cargo planes fly overhead once in a while.

Strictly speaking this analogy doesn’t hold in real life since paths in road networks are not symmetric.

In the nineties this would have saved the entire platform.

Nice piece of engineering and surely worth a read. The ideas are hardly novel, tho.

The inline keyword doesn’t do what most people think it does. Especially true with every compiler upgrade or platform change. One worse engine once summarized its user cases as twofold: first, to hide visibility when linking, second, to jud

Started an open source project that was used by a fair number of startups. One of them eventually hired me for full-time dev work and others paid for short term consulting work. Also had an Amazon wishlist with token Items of appreciation (

Well done, Jan!
