   This breaks pretty easy unfortunately by simply drawing in reverse (e.g. draw circle counter-clockwise instead of clockwise etc.)

   Thanks a lot for pointing this out. I will happily fix this now!

   For this exact use case I defined the following many years ago in my bash profile: # create a new directory and enter it function mkd() { mkdir -p "$@" && cd "$_"; } And use it like: mkd

   This article is pure spam? Every link references back to another article and the whole description is a copy from the official documentation.

   A friend of mine developed a more efficient version of RANSAC and named it ANTSAC [1] which basically follows the same biological motivation (ants that follow similar paths based on pheromone information). In the case of ANTSAC it tries to

   Related question: Does anybody know if this sort of zooming behaviour (mapping images onto a grid and dynamically load smaller tiles with higher solutions based on current offset) has a concrete, nameable algorithm behind it? Any link to an

   I did develop a proof-of-concept for a client recently which involved some digital sound processing on mobile devices and used this[1] book as a reference to refresh some (advanced) basics again. Can recommend this to anybody who is interes

    Same here. I'm canceling my Spotify subscription right now and am moving to iTunes (back again). Spotify doesn't seem to support the newly announced home pods as well, which was another reason to quit my subscription, but mainly t

    If you decide to work through this book, I suggest to follow along this YT channel [1] as the owner of this channel is going through each chapter (and exercises) roughly every week right now (currently at chapter 4.1) [1] https:/&#x2F

    Before switching to CLion eventually, I've used my well curated VIM config[1] together with YouCompleteMe and several clang-based tools such as clang-format, clang-rename etc. for several years, working on smaller and large C/C++

    I'd really would encourage you (and other fellow software contractors) to not think in terms of amount of code produced but in terms of solutions brought to the client that helped solving a specific business problem. As I've respo

    Thanks for your remarks. Few things come to mind: First I'd never charge by hour but have (at least) daily rates and I'd suggest every other independent software contractor to follow the same principle. Second, there is no correla

    I cannot fathom how anybody could either come up with the idea of taking screenshots from a computer desktop continuously whilst working for a client (in order to somewhat _prove_ productivity, I assume) or is comfortable to a degree with a

    For a quick and dirty on the spot visualization for some data on the command line, I'd like to plug the following: function plot() { { echo 'plot "-"' "$@"; cat; } | gnuplot -persist; }

    I bought it this morning based on your suggestion and so far I really like it. Thanks! Edit: Coincidently, the first chapters of this book play in June 2020. Computers are very expensive devices where there's always hardly any money le

    So after reading this, is it correct to say that Ritchie basically showed in his thesis the application of the for loop for recursive prime number computation and also its application to computational complexity? AFAIK for loops where alrea

    According to the git log the overall development time was round about 6 weeks. Including some holidays in between, we're looking roughly at 1 Million Euro per development day!

    The conclusion that those rejected developers eventually ended up getting a job at another software company and hence they must be able to code properly is false IMHO. In my experience there are a lot of dysfunctional software companies o

    Elaborating a bit more on this, I have made the observation that again those _most people_ don't care much reading (good) code from other people. There are many outstanding examples of code quality out there. For instance, I've fo

    My personal observation (and view of course) is that most people simply cannot code. And I am not talking about that reverse-a-binary-tree or traverse-a-linked-list type of coding, but more profoundly they just cannot wrap their head around

    I did one cross iOS/Android platform project using Kotlin/Native with its MPP plugin with reasonable success. However, this was 6 months ago and the JetBrains people surely haven‘t stopped moving forward.
