Nice framing. However, I was rather thinking about the _drama_ he created back then with his software due to a logical error. To me it had some resemblance of a nice play at the time.

That sounds a lot like the idea from Peter Huth’s Mail-Terror-Blocker PRO, a theater drama studied guy that happened to become an _internet expert_ by accident here in Germany back in the 2000s. Unfortunately, his program failed in the most

An opinionated thorough demonstration on how to write C++ at scale. I didn’t agree one all aspects, though I have to admit it was the first book on C++ that clearly stated _how_ to actually design stuff both on a physical as well as on a lo

Given that I am working professionally with C++ (meaning I earn money by writing code in this language) I find it remarkable, that I appreciate and actually think it’s a useful book for my daily work. 1300+ pages of detailed language featur

For my consulting projects, I've found that Halide[1] is a worthy game changer when it comes to performance consultations, due to their architectural decision of separating between code and their scheduling (or algorithms and execution

Given that any stock is a function over time as well, there should theoretically exist a neural net that can approximate the stock price for the future? This reasoning is obviously wrong, what is my exact error of thought though?

Thanks for pointing this out as I share the same opinion regarding Lex. For me personally it‘s that his behavior during his podcasts doesn’t match up to the intellectual shallowness of his questions and thinkings which drives me a bit crazy

The most recent computerphile YT video [1] is talking about the inner workings of git (Inside the hidden git folder) which I found quite interesting. Anybody reading this that came across some previous article about how git works and couldn

In my experience (and coming just out of a meeting alike) these types of respectful and forward-moving meetings are typically in a case where each attendant has roughly the same level expertise in a given domain and knows the basics of scie

I interpret OP‘s comment rather as an intersection, not a union of the targeted dev group. Your last sentence however sounds passive aggressive to me, which I rather don’t want to read here on HN

I'm a freelancing software consultant from Germany that gets increasingly spammed from UK recruiters and always wondered what the case is here. Your linked article pretty much nails it though. That being said things are only slightly d

I just finished watching a really nice talk _An Evening with Leonhard Euler_ [1] that discussed a small fraction of his work and the massive amount of papers he produced (hundreds of which were only published after his death) [1] https:&#x

Unfortunately, these calculators usually only do work for US citizen. I‘m from Europe (or Germany rather) where there are a lot of different factors needed to take into account in order to get a realistic number (legal pension fund etc.)

I think this approach is very similar to how Android is handling the different apps where each gets installed into its own dedicated path directory. (I may be wrong though, cant remember since the last time I‘ve looked into the AOSP)

I‘d argue that one should not compare editors to IDEs as they are not comparable. I was using VIM professionally (i.e. at work) for many years until CLion showed up. Sure enough I could get around in VIM using many LLVM tools such as clang-

I appreciate that the author was looking to solve this problem using a _classical_ CV approach just like in the good ol‘ days as opposed to just train another ANN that predicts the time for a sufficiently large training set. As for the dete

For our german audience here at HN, there's also a (german) version called Bastard Assistant from Hell (BAfH) [1] which I can highly recommend if you liked the original stories as well [1] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki&

I think we should rather talk about the (history) of working the typical 8 hours a day, which doesn't make much sense for software people if you ask me. IIRC the concept of working 8 hours is more than 100 years old and was considered

I never understood the argument of _helping fellow developers out_ by setting up their development environment or _lowering the entrance bar_ as everything got so complicated really. For one, I personally cannot trust the technical competen

Computing in higher dimensions is nice, although pretty difficult to implement efficiently. Hence, Quaternions are mostly used nowadays, I think.

Great. I'm using grep.app[1] usually as for me the GitHub search is mostly useless. Your mileage may vary though. That being said there are many other great search interfaces that I am using often when I'm trying to find solutions

Pretty much in computer vision / image processing related companies and software products. The performance related advantage on Intel x86 architectures in particular is not to be neglected.

I am not doing _that_ type of number crunching in my daily work, so the following check (in Python) has probably lots of potential for improvement: def is_prime(n): return not True in [n%x == 0 for x in range(2, n/2)]
