Former 213 TA here. This was by far the most enjoyable lab in the course - Bomb lab is a close second but this provides a more significant ‘levelling up’ experience. The actual lab is currently offered split into 2 checkpoints with the 1st

Statecharts are used a lot in model-based design in automotive software development. I especially like a tool called IBM Statemate it was lightweight and easy to extend compared to Simulink. One key issue in the tooling however (which is pe

IMHO this would lower the already limited type information contained in a C program. `auto` still has some use in C++ where typing out repetitive template types can get tedious but it still reduces readability in my opinion.

There's also 15-210 Parallel and Sequential Data Structures and Algorithms [1] which is what book GP referred to is developed for. [1] https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~15210/

While I'm not sure I agree with everything in the article, it does mention a point I've been thinking about for a while - configuration. I really do think applications should try to zero-in on a few standard configuration file for

I'm new to fuzzers and fuzz testing in general so I apologise for my ignorance about the purpose of fuzzing. My understanding is that fuzzing tests the user facing side (which is what is important for most programs). Does there exist s

That link is really interesting! Thanks for that. I should have probably said procfs is Linux-specific. Anyway, learned (rather unlearned) something new today. Also interesting is that early Unix systems (before v8) used `ptrace()` for gath

Minor nitpick: calling it a a clone of the Unix 'ps' wouldn't be exactly right, since I understand /proc is Linux-specific. On the other hand, how did the Unix 'ps' or the 'ps' in other Unix-clones wo

The Linux-Insides series is a great resource for learning the details of the Linux implementation and hopefully would help more people contribute to Linux by providing more documentation. An idea I have is to have a similar series for basic

While the advice seems well-reasoned and complete, I am not sure how the test-before-you-implement philosophy extends to GUI/graphical development. I work on high-level embedded applications where we design and simulate the application

In turn, isn't LLVM's stack management and argument passing dictated by the hardware's ABI? ARM, for one, publishes its calling convention in AAPCS (ARM Architecture Procedure Call Standard) which establishes the calling conv

The tone of the article sounds preemptively dismissive of the visual programming paradigm itself using deficiencies of its implementations. This is like saying OOP is deficient because a language implements it in a bad way. As with text-bas

This is surprising news to me. An analog with the microprocessor market would be Intel buying AMD! I love Microchip's application notes. My first controller was a PIC16F877A and apart from the architecture quirks (and mediocre C compil
