This is great! Small detail question: Did CRT radar scopes really have scan lines? I would have guessed they were vector displays. Re. list of extra features: Since the app targets planespotting, it would be cool to show aircraft type, mayb

It's interesting to compare r/c_programming and r/cpp. C_programming has a lot of newbie questions, cpp less so. I assumed it was due to C's larger use in education, but now I wonder if it's something to do with mod

I've been catching low bandwidth recently, even on Android with YouTube Premium on WiFi. I have quality configured to "Higher picture quality, more bandwidth" yet still get something like 240p on a video with 1440p max resolu

I have tried ChatGPT for TikZ before with mixed results. It can do some very "example" cases like a complete graph. But anything more custom is tough. It starts making mistakes and seems to have trouble correcting them. Still, it

How is your point 2) a response to any of the earlier points? Hard realtime systems don't care about variation, only the worst case. If your code does a single multiply-add most of the time but calls `log` every now and then, hard real

There's also an android app! It's nice to draw with your finger instead of a mouse.

Or use Matplotlib's PGF backend. You can even import a preamble so the notation macros from your paper are usable in the legend, axes labels, etc.

How about some random young adult novel from 1975 that never got popular? Or an old magazine on microfiche? Internet people overestimate how much of the world's information has been digitized, imo.

Not true, I routinely find books in academic research that have never been digitized

But a lot of programmers think compilers are magic. Maybe because they read about stuff like parser generators, register allocators, optimizations, etc., that are not strictly necessary. It's empowering to remind people that a seemingl

The one I really don't understand is wireless keyboards and mice for desktops. Sure, let's add a battery, some unreliability, and clutter up the radio spectrum for two objects that never move relative to one another.

Studying for the verbal GRE is a good way to learn some of these words. (Not sure to what extent the GRE has been abandoned recently...)

I'm not familiar with the project but this sounds like a good first contribution, if you want to get involved as a developer :)

CMake is too complicated. You can tell it was made by C++ programmers. (I am one, btw.)

Your style will get you through a project, but you'll miss out on useful but nonessential features. For example, a lot of C++ programmers miss the full spectrum of std::algorithm. A lot of Python+NumPy programmers miss out on some usef

In learning theory there is focus on "non-asymptotic" results. Instead of only showing that our method converges on the right answer in the limit of infinite data, we must show how fast it converges.

Numba is quite restrictive... to someone comfortable in C++, coercing my code into a form Numba likes sometimes feels no easier than writing an extension using Eigen types and pybind11.

lots of avoidable copies in NumPy, and even if you manage to get rid of that, the python interpretation overhead isn't amortized until your matrix dimensions are in the several-hundreds at least.

a B-tree in the C++ STL would be a welcome addition!
