That might be more the fault of the advertisers than Amazon. Amazon knows what books you will like with a high degree of certainty, but they don't always have ads available that are a close match, and some advertisers set their targeti

The resume lists mostly sysadmin and supporting tasks. Dev tasks (like "developed web-based email search" or "Shipped working code") are too vague. The layout (especially the "Knowledge and Skill" section) look

I also use Bitbucket and am very pleased with it. It seems like their model is that bitbucket is well integrated and complements their paid products like JIRA and Teamcity, so they are not depending on free users to upgrade like github need

Rust is C-linkable, right? How hard would it be to use this from C?

As a mobile dev, this article kind of irritates me. It seems like the author is trying to shift his responsibilities to the client or designer. Here some tips: - wireframe first. At least on a whiteboard. Build the interface with stock or u

CUDA sounds like the kind of "heterogeneous" model the author is suggesting. Unfortunately it has it's own set of problems. I'm not really sure what kind of API the author wants. Sure, it's annoying that data in GPU

To me it's like the world's best puzzle game where you never run out of levels, and get paid well for playing. :)

Hmm. I'm a solo developer with kind of a hobby business right now (mostly mobile games/apps now), but not in any way a "real" studio. I've been playing around with Vive VR stuff and have a couple of side projects I&

So they should be clandestinely involved, instead? They're going to do it anyways, I'd rather know about it.

They've done a pretty good job automating the provisioning stuff. It still can be annoying to debug when it doesn't work, but for an individual or a small team it's pretty seamless these days. I will agree with you about the

Yes, you'd have to implement the drawing and input handling code but this seems like it would be a good fit. You need to implement a fair number of drawing primitives, but certainly less work than a whole GUI.

Static linking is "easy" on any particular platform for a particular target. But build systems and IDE and all that junk make things more complicated. You might want to build the library with the same flags as your main app, for e

They typically draw/process every frame. So if you're doing a game or real-time tool, it will be part of your main loop. I wouldn't call it a "busy" loop, since usually you'd sleep or yield when done processing

You can do the aggregation locally on the device. You wouldn't want to send every page view as an immediate event, just send the aggregates every 15 minutes or at the start or end of each session.

Casey switched to a modal editor for the handmade hero livestream (because of RSI issues). It's not vim, but it's similar since it's modal. He's only just switched about a month ago, but he's already pretty quick, t

That's a fair point, I tried Atom and it felt laggy but I haven't tried this one yet.

- Someone saves data as text with a simple format - It works great, lots of people start using it - People start adding features to fix annoying things with the format, add support for binary data, comments, schemas, add more metadata etc..

Isn't this based on Atom (or at least similar design)? It really makes me sad that people are making editors with so many features and nice things, but ignoring the fundamentals like latency. https://pavelfatin.com/typi

No, I've plugged in custom allocators into codebases that had millions of lines of C (and even C++). Very few functions in the C stdlib allocate memory. Most that do (like strdup) are convenience wrappers. Most decent 3rd party librari

So write your own allocator... EDIT: That might sound snarky, it's not meant to be. I just mean that you can do something like this: https://gist.github.com/joeld42/74f67cde97a789467a2f681961b8... people complain

What history? Apple was never very big in the 3D content creation biz. Their 3D support has always lagged a few years behind windows.

I am primarily a Mac/iOS developer, but occasionally have to do CPU or GPU intensive stuff. I use a macbook for most of my work but have a windows desktop machine for when I need it. (Ironically, the beefy windows machine was cheaper).

This whole post is nonsense, but there's one point in particular I think that GC advocates don't understand about managing memory. He writes, "Consider: you need to hand out chunks of memory of any size, one at a time, with n
