Digital Signal Processing (DSP) holds a particular fascination to me. It’s hard to find the necessary focus time to work on during the weekends though, what with the family needing some attention. I usually end up writing simple native apps

Do you expect your spare-time programming projects to fall in a specific salary range?

I understand your point. My comment was a weak attempt at being clever. Free (the concept) versus free(void* ptr) (the function call) - the latter would not be present without dynamic allocation.

by anthomtb 4y ago
Pedantically, you could say static allocations eliminate use-after-free() bugs.

Can I ask why you would want such a mouse-aware terminal-based IDE? Because it sounds like an oxymoron.

What do BDR and RevOps mean? The former is clearly a role in a sales organization. The latter rhymes with DevOps but I’ve no idea whether Dev and Rev become related when appended with Ops.

Was it mandatory though? I took a Control Theory class for my Electrical and Computer Engineering undergrad degree in the US. But it was a senior/graduate-level elective and not required to graduate. Minor aside, the class was the best

The layoffs I experienced were explicitly about reducing size and cost of the workforce. Individual performance was a limited factor at best. This was the case at two different Fortune 500 companies. The only thing saving many high performe

Buy it. I finished my Electrical and Computer Engineering undergrad in 2008 and have been a software dev ever since. You won't learn anything new if you had computer architecture and digital logic classes. But it's an excellent re

This makes one wonder what era and culture in which you grew up. You really got bullied just for being the most knowledgeable one in class? If so that’s awful and I’m sorry for what you had to go through.

I too learned BASIC when I was 12 and often felt alienated from my peers. Turns out the alienation was from being a know-it-all, argumentative asshole and had very little to do with my programming skills. Most of my classmates probably woul

https://rigtorp.se/ringbuffer/ , from a comment below, answered my question. In rough terms, every push or pop from the queue also causes head or tail to be written, thus dirtying a line of cache. That’s the bit I misun

by anthomtb 4y ago
Why is having head and tail in the same cache line bad for performance? Given that the code reads both head and tail to check if the queue is empty, being in the same cache line seems optimal.

My cat tells me when she wants to play. She will scratch a specific spot on our engineered wood floor where the top layer is flaking off. As I have no desire to replace a piece of flooring in the middle of the room, this action gets an near

How long have you been exercising and how many people have you trained? I’m always wary of essays like this one. People figure out how to manage their own bodies and somehow extrapolate their lessons to all humans.

I agree that there is a significant resource extraction sector, though primarily based around energy as opposed to raw materials. I have my doubts that it’s significant enough that the state could materially benefit from a weakened USD. It

Agreed. If anyone is looking to make a classic dish, browse right to Serious Eats and avoid the SEO recipe spam on Google. You’ll save time, bypass the big-data overlord and end up with better-than-restaurant quality food.

How’d you determine that Colorado’s economy is export focused? That does not line up at all with my experience from living here.

A few years back Mike Levy from Pinkbike rode Troy Brosnan's bike and made note of how little tension was in the spokes: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/riding-troy-brosnans-world-cup... . Paul Aston (World Cup pack

Cool article. The pitch based measurement does seem sensible enough for some people. And more accurate then squeezing spokes with your hand. Still, I trust my ability to read a tension meter more than my ability to match pitch. Props to any

by anthomtb 5y ago
Is it possible for spokes to gain tension while riding? My intuition says no, which would mean erring on the side of more tension would keep you in the correct range over time. I have heard of top level downhillers using minimal spoke tensi

by anthomtb 5y ago
You are arguing the importance of appropriate spoke tension but also suggesting that measuring tension by ear is perfectly acceptable? That does not add up to me.

Would this be suitable for mountain bike wheels? I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be, just asking the dumb question. Plus this seems really valuable for mountain bikers, especially if you’re into downhill or enduro style riding where
