Yeah a GPU makes things easier. Note that you can do it with Java, we do it at $work. Anyway, when you're designing your UI, you've to take into account the computation power available and design around that, otherwise you're

I haven't yet worked on automotive stuff but I work in the embedded space. We're using small MCU (not CPU) to drive 480x272 or 800x600 screen. 240Mhz, 8MB of RAM. For example on ESP32-S2 or ESP32-S3. If you had GPS, bluetooth, wif

Well, Rapid Development is the next level after Code Complete :) Code Complete is the "Introductory Level" and Rapid Development is the "Practitioner Level".

I do it regularly but it's always invisible if all you see is the resulting code. I do it to structure my code, but I remove the comments as I implement it because I try to make it obvious in the code what's being done. You know,

I read it last year and I think it's still relevant. I had planned to write on the topic. In his book, Steve McConnell advocates for PPP = Pseudocode Programming Process Basically, he says you should outlines the structure of your code

Interesting, it caught quite some bugs: https://github.com/WhatsApp/erlfuzz#some-of-the-bugs-found-s... I wonder what triggered this work at WhatsApp. Are bugs in the ErlangVM frequent enough to motivate the effort? Wa

My comment was negative and didn't bring anything. I should have refrain. Sorry to the author and thanks for the article, I learned about lagrange interpolation.

I get that it's a way to find out what GPT4 is capable of, but IMHO that defeats the point of a game like CTF. It's like playing with an aimbot. You may be beating the other players, but where's the fun?

IMHO it's because lisp shines to manipulate symbols whereas the current AI trend is crunching matrices. When AI was about building grammars, trees, developing expert systems builds rules etc. symbol manipulation was king. Look at PAIP

And it's like talking about code and coding. Once you start writing you find all^W a lot of assumptions/hypotheses you made implicitly or even flaws in your reasoning. Writing is nature's way of letting you know how sloppy yo

You know it's good when at the end you're thinking: already? Thank you. That was really nice.

I don't remember where but I've seen text injection in prompt. Like, if you hide text within a webpage and then GPT adds it. Something like `Some text blabla.<span style="display: none;">Hidden text</span&g

Interesting. So, how do you find out what optimization does the JIT? With compiled languages, you can look at the assembly to figure out which optimizations were applied. What can you do with JIT? Are there JIT implementations that provide

I agree that it's better when its built-in because the whole ecosystem uses it. Whereas in Java you may need to wrap third party code if they don't use the null analysis (or the same tool). But regarding the feature I imagine it i

Interesting. This article resonate in me with the recent articles of Casey Muratori about non-pessimistic code: Within the realm of the module, don't use pessimistic code (avoid Boxing) _but_ that doesn't prevent you to provide a

I've never used Kotlin, but there are several systems that provide Null Analysis in Java. For example FindBugs https://findbugs.sourceforge.net/manual/annotations.html Is Kotlin better because it works out of the

I don't know. Before reading Casey, I'd say most, if not all, of my APIs would look like the "clean code" style. The process was "think about the model, design a class hierarchy that fits with the model, add the ope

by gjadi 4y ago
I'd say that it really depends on what the code needs to do. For example, if the code is to be distributed and extended as a third-party library, then the class hierarchy is probably a better fit to allow extensibility. But if the purp

I don't understand what you are saying. My comment was a jest (as suggested by the smiley). What I take from Casey's post is that a simple non-pessimistic representation allows for efficient code. That is, using a table instead of

I didn't watch the video but I read the article and in the later part he shows how to extend every versions (polymorphic, enum and table-based) to "computing the sum of the corner-weighted areas". This extension is easy enoug

One can argue that simple code is both fast and clean. However, you can only measure how fast (or slow) your code is, so make it simple, aim for fast and hope it's clean (:

You can use Herbie to increase the accuracy of your floating point operations. From the tutorial: Herbie rewrites floating point expressions to make them more accurate. Floating point arithmetic is inaccurate; even 0.1 + 0.2 ≠ 0.3 for a com

I don't have data nor an opinion on this matter, but maybe most FAANGs are successful despite their hiring practice, not because of it.
