No need to insult people just because you don’t understand other strategies for reducing the amount of lifetimes to track and consolidating deallocations by using memory arenas.

Ironically the C++ standards consortium doesn’t want C to improve anymore and wants people to just use C++. Rules for thee but not for me.

I can corroborate this. I coached mechanical engineers who had to learn some programming to conduct research by analyzing factory machine data I provided them (them being the domain experts). The ones who learned python and sql using AI har

This doesn’t make sense. BSP is a form of culling.

I don’t think that the author considers collaboration bad in general, but instead how it’s done in most large corporations: But there’s a huge difference between communication and collaboration as infrastructure to support individual, high

Now, don't get me wrong. Trigonometry is convenient and necessary for data input and for feeding the larger algorithm.

The compiler is often not allowed to rearrange such operations due to a change in intermediate results. So one would have to activate something like fastmath for this code, but that’s probably not desired for all code, so one has to introdu

The problem with Horner’s scheme is that it creates a long chain of data dependencies, instead of making full use of all execution units. Usually you’d want more of a binary tree than a chain.

Most of the studies they looked at did not use the most robust methods and included small numbers of people, making it difficult to work out the true effects. Not a good sign for a meta study. When you average garbage you still get garbag

Discord had a scandal not too long ago where pictures of people/passports were stolen. There they said that they delete those files immediately after processing them. This proves your statement as false.

MachineWorks and ModuleWorks have added GPU raycasting implementations in their last versions. It’s very recent.

I don’t know how people can defend this organization and criticize the US government for losing trust in it, when there’s a myriad of scandals like this one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UlCYFh8U2xM&pp=ygUUd2hvIHRhaXd..

Your mental model of integer vs double performance sounds outdated by decades. I’d suggest reading up on instruction performance on agnerfog, should be eye opening.

SWAR can refer to “abusing” general purpose registers for instructions on multiple data by using nifty tricks.

If all of your dependencies need to use the same build system as your project then your build system/process is defect anyway. It should be possible to invoke a foreign build system as part of your build.

There are many bad things to be said about TempleOS, many aspects of it that seem poorly constructed or wouldn't work in the "real world". I'm going to ignore them here. It's very easy to be negative, but you will

There are quite a few people who can code but have 0 social skills and can’t talk well or at all. In that sense I have to disagree with you, but I still wouldn’t hire them because they drag teams down.

Your code actually has 2 bugs. The first I assume is just a typo and you meant to use [1][1] == ‘r’. The second one is that you would accept “-rblah” as well.

HDDs also have a spinning medium and a read head , so the optimization is similar to optical media like CDs. Let’s say you have UI textures that you always need, common player models and textures, the battle music, but world geometry and mo

TFA says performance might be worse, but it’s easy to beat libc because it supports different formats etc that you don’t need. Float parsing is tough to beat, but only if you want perfect precision for the full range. If you just parse mill
