For my (local) C++ projects, I use CMake to make .deb packages. It is easy enough, uninstalls cleanly, so does the job.

Energy cost and thermal cooling place restrictions on the computations. C++, with all it flaws, stays in use because it does give control over performance trade-offs.

There is an exact solution for the pendulum problem: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/39575612_Exact_solu... I haven't studied it well enough to say more than that about it.

Apparantly the good old marching cubes can be used for that: https://www.matthewtancik.com/nerf shows a video about halfway on the page.

LG Hom-Bots have a camera which looks to the ceiling in order to do SLAM. It's not a lidar, but a good enough spying device.

There are two uses cases for package managers. One is as an end-user to install software, another as a developer to have a set of specific libraries to use. For the latter, the version used varies per project. The former is typically system

The article state that it does send over at least 1 key-frame. That might be used to find coefficients in a much smaller model, similar to how Active Appearance Models approximate a lot of faces with a relatively small model.

I use a raspberry pi 4 (before that 3b) as NAS. A usb harddrive is used for data storage. The workload is low, mostly photos and music streaming, but I've not seen USB problems so far.

This is about a kernel-space driver, as opposed to a FUSE (user space) driver. It should allow for better performance.

There does seem to be a slight difference between stock-owned and founder/family-owned business, in my experience.

Or they make a nice offer for an upgrade, which I decline. Then it turns out that the smaller car was not available, so they had to give the upgrade anyway. And somehow they still looked at me as if I played them..

It is my understanding that for ray-tracing de-noising, the de-noiser also has access to the noise-free textures (in addition to the noisy raytraced frame) This gives it far more information than typical screenshots hint at.

In the past, their Odroid X2 ran fine, but did have a lot of custom patches in the kernel. This made it hard to update to newer kernel version. If I remember correctly, the binary blobs for the graphics driver (Mali) were also hard to get f

As fallback, I have unit-tests with a check on both correctness and the instruction count (and # of memory allocations in hot loops). Whereas the cpu cycle-count varies between runs, the instruction count does not. Linux has good support fo

And keep waiting/hoping for modules. Where unity builds and pre-compiled headers cause more declarations to become visible in a source file, modules allow stronger separation. This should be a win for the SW architecture, whereas pre-c

This sounds similar to C++'s exception-mechanism, on which the C++ community seems split on whether it's good or not. Are they any noteworthy differences?

As far as I know, the main speed advantage is that Fortran supports arrays, which are known to not alias. C/C++ does not have alias-annotations built-in. Although with template constructs like done in e.g. the Eigen library, alias-opti

undergrads don't bring in grant money, but do cost time (teaching). From a university 'business' point of view, they are a net loss. Grants are a big thing in academia.

There's also a pragmatic reason: When sampling the PAL/NTSC signal cabling will have applied low-pass filtering, causing over- and under-shoot of the signal. By setting the signal up to have the range 16/235 for an 8-bits A&#
