If you have a tags file set up, vim omnicomplete (<C-x><C-o>) for C and C++ (at least) will also be able to complete struct/class members and other context sensitive. Additionally, I set the user complete mode (<C-x>&

Can someone explain the advantage of this (or tmuxinator, etc) over launching a bash script or custom per-session tmux config file that sets up windows and panes and launches the right apps? I see there's a --freeze option that saves t

I completely agree with you. Once you go past the 15 minute mark, the whiteboard is no longer a good way to do programming aptitude testing. It's a good smoke test, but doesn't really work beyond that. Of the three examples you me

Tech interviews are not reflective of real life regardless if there's a whiteboard present or not. Whenever I've had a whiteboard programming interview, it's always been a trivial problem that's a smoke test for "ca

None of this code was meant to be understood without background knowledge of the algorithm internals - and some code just is that way. You don't go reading rbtree.c without first reading about Red-Black Trees in your algorithms book. I

In my opinion, Google stopped being a "search engine" roughly 10 years ago. These days I'd call it a "recommendation engine" and it seems to primarily work by giving you results that people similar to your profile (

That looks clear and concise to me. It's a part of a performance sensitive mission critical infrastructure. The parts you posted are some of the core data structures that make it fast by squeezing every bit and byte that reasonably can

Yeah, I stopped working on "infrastructure" utility libraries and similar projects because the maintenance burden is too high. Some people just don't get it - I'm not in it to provide a free service to anyone. Luckily I

These are all very neat and polished projects. And you have the advantage of doing web sites / apps which is a lot easier to release than a native app. The stuff I do simply isn't viable on the web (or even if it were, it wouldn&#

Yeah, it takes a huge amount of time and effort to make your voice heard and your project promoted. I have a feeling that naturally extroverted people do not understand that it takes a real push from other to show your work to strangers. Sa

I'm in a similar situation to GP. I've done tons and tons of side projects but I rarely have anything to show for it. And why should I? I'm doing it mostly for the fun of coding, and striving to "ship" things takes

Although the idea is great but I'm not comfortable with the legal implications of "seeding" the stuff I view. It might work in some legislations but I'd be putting myself in too much risk under my local law.

Yes, yes it is. If the extensions would be anything like the OpenGL extensions which make changes to the core api functionality, you'd be right. But take a look at the extensions and tell which one(s) would cause a "write once, po

There is a commercial, proprietary Vulkan implementation (called MoltenVk) that runs on top of Apple's Metal. This is not a technical issue, but a political one. Apple has decided not to allow Vulkan in their walled garden.

Yes, but Unity, Unreal and the other engines need a 3d API to run on. They can use Vulkan, D3D or Metal on native desktop/mobile platforms but that's already 3 separate backends and there's no good API for the browser (WebGL

Have you tried or heard anyone trying to tinker with caching attributes (ie. uncached, write-combining, etc) for message passing buffers? I think you do need to be in kernel mode to be able to change the attributes, but you can access the m
