Tbh you sound like a terrible manager. I imagine some developer rolling his eyes as he gets called into your office to hear another technique blathered at him for a defect he couldn't have possibly prevented. His coworkers took him out

Wow I'm pretty sure I worked at the same company. Rating calibration was brutal. Does the company name rhyme with schmexplerian?

Picasa has a click-and-type description at each folder where you can write something like "Burning Man 2015" which becomes globally searchable (along with your people, place, etc. tags). I suppose an AI could determine that my pho

I couldn't disagree with you more, Google Photos is garbage compared to Picasa. There's no folders and no tags (for writing a quick description that applies to a bunch of pictures), no manual face tagging (for when the magic fails

Such a travesty. Someday we will look back and see the whole web application trend as a technological plague that wiped out great native desktop applications replacing them with inferior web versions that nobody actually wanted.

No, when the format is implicitly lossless then editing and saving is lossless. Discarding more information to make the file compress better is done separately, with a different tool even.

Software RAID or a host-based controller is the way to go with SSDs. Otherwise the raid controller becomes your bottleneck as whatever onboard ASIC or RAID-on-a-chip hits its throughput limit (and potentially overheats and dies if it's

basm (borland's assembler, built into delphi and bcb) does this. You just freely reference variables defined outside your 'asm' block and the compiler determines how to map them to registers, stack offsets, etc.

I loved using SFU/Interix with Gentoo-prefix on XP and Win7 enterprise. I'm using Msys2 now and am pretty happy with it. There are mingw packages for practically everything but openssh is msys only. So this native openssh should g

I experimented with cmov for a lot of cpu-bound graphics routines years ago and found that it was rarely faster than branching and never faster than a branchless version w/o cmov. The folks on c.l.a.x said this was due to cmov being mi

You can improve the best case to log log n by choosing optimal cut points instead of always cutting in half.

I can't think of any language that has this as a feature. But there are some nice libraries for assembling machine code at runtime - there was one I used called "softwire" that seems to have disappeared. I just found this one

No mention of graphics programming or signal processing? High level syntax just gets in the way when you're trying to pack six pixels into two registers just right. Assembly language is still pretty much the right tool for the job.

OTOH the other visible salaries make nice "comps" for appraising yourself to justify your raise. If you think about it, the usual reason you would want to negotiate a big raise is because you are significantly underpaid in the fir

The argument for mainstream 24bit dynamic range shouldn't be for higher fidelity reproduction for audiophiles. It should be for enabling more sophistication in our playback devices. In the YouTube era not every recording is perfectly m
