the distance between BLAS and mathematics is quite big. Have you had a look at, for example, the Eigen library? Although it's still more verbose than math notation, it stays much closer and, in my experience, does allow for nearly all

Assuming you would put them in 10 buckets, that order wouldn't have to be random, as long as people have similar biases.

Recently I tried to cross-compile a Qt application. With differences in the moc executable between host (x86 debian) and target (rpi3), I couldn't quite get things to work (with cmake as build system). Do you have any tips?

I've had Odroid devices in the past. Although they by all means work as advertised, the SW support for the raspberry pi is higher, allowing more recent kernels and with more (most) of the sources available also more tinkering. I'd

Hardware has lots and lots of pieces of memory, not only block-ram, but also many registers. The needs to be initialized after power-off. As for the software: Hibernate is storing that initialized state.

The wifi and cell towers your phone can see, so even without using GPS. If you enable the location services of google, it keeps a history which is typically within 50 meters, within a few minutes accurate (at least in a city). What google t

Also, it is seen as a test by itself: Are you capable to take your responsibility and do your work? This is a quite valuable lesson by itself. Most people need a few months to learn it (partying is fun, but doesn't get you a degree), s

I'm wondering if there's still a good reason. Cmake with either vcpkg or conan makes for a very reliable system. The syntax still isn't the prettiest, but if done well ('modern' cmake, using targets), cmake scripts

Why is including build time sensible? If one has reproducible builds, wouldn't a commit/tag from the version control system also do the job of traceability and reproducibility ?

They are illegal above a certain capacity. I assume that's because to large storage is wasteful: heat will leak without being used efficiently.

Back in the day, BeOS used to be quite more capable with regards to multi-threading. The used to demo this with multiple videos playing. Does BeOS/Haiku still have a technological edge somewhere (compared to say, linux or windows)?

As far as I can see, Ceres accepts functions which calculate a residual vector, whereas ensmallen accepts only function which accept a scalar error. This is a subtle but important difference: The vector allows much faster convergence on a n

Although they did take over a car factory, they replaced all the internals. The 'reinventing the wheel' has led to initial mistakes (and lessons learned). With the car industry about 100 years old, and fierce competition, the comm

If setLabel() throws an exception, the scope is left, cleaning up button, which then no longer exists. The only try/catch blocks are where you can do anything usefull. That's typically only at the highest level of the application.

The dislike of exceptions seems more common. It puzzles me a bit. For numerical software, exceptions work quite well: for performance, all allocations are in the constructors, so the RAII idiom fits naturally. Using exceptions saves from wr

From Codeplay's blogs it seems they ported the tensor part of Eigen to SyCL. The Matrix part is not supported under SyCL. Tensorflow does have options to compile models to custom code (XLA), that part might not use Eigen.
