I guess that the point is that when writing CUDA code (which looks like C++), you can use these libraries which are homogenous with CPU code. Looking at the functions, chrono/barrier etc require CPU level abstractions, so using the STL

Your quotes from Uncle Bob to my ears sound like trite nonsense. Moreover, name-checking him and then giving quotations of what he said seems positively religious. My basic argument with agile is this - can it be measured that these things

This is high falutin’ theory. Many user interfaces don’t have easily testable abstract interfaces, and user features are first tackled by expressing changes to a user interface. You really have to jump through hoops to make the reality of c

I think the work the author has done is amazing. I Just looking at the commit history - the core contributor has definitely been super busy. https://github.com/owlbarn/owl/graphs/contributors

F# for the tooling. Jetbrains Rider is particuarly good. Unfortunately Visual Studio on Windows is a bit lacking. If you get a feel for F# I'm sure it will be an easy leap to OCaml if you decide to do it later. Incidentally I've

TDD for a complex domain generally means (at least in an OO design) you cannot do exploratory coding over what objects you have and what decisions you will make. After all, you have to write the tests for the classes, before the classes exi

Those costs need to be amortised annually. There are other costs from outages which occur infrequently but are highly costly because developers/support are manually touching the servers. The cost really should be analysed as what is th

It is impossible to have an "expectation of privacy" over the DNA of your relatives. You need to live with it, and resolve your feelings to the reality of that situation. You don't get a choice if your uncle, grandmother, au

This is clearly the worst form of corruption. I would be surprised if there are not Federal or state laws which might nail these people.

"Denotational semantics are a great way to capture the meaning of a programming language" - big claim - what is the meaning of a programming language? For example, if you able to capture what the meaning of a programming language

I agree Apple is abusive here. There is also a very valid counterargument. Apple maintain the quality of apps on their app story by being a censor. There are a lot of ways to scam people or bug their devices, and by and large Apple also cr

I think a lot more maths is needed. "CS109 Probability for Computer Scientists" does not look like a sufficiently deep study in statistics. Spending time studying operating systems and compilers (both things I've studied) at

Who knows how many other victims are out there? This case highlights it because the killed woman was a medical technician in the middle of the pandemic. Normally her death might not have made the national press.

This is another categorical statement. I love how the languages you mention do concurrency, but I don't think that if you use threads, one should only be doing it in Elixir/Erlang (or go). I find that nearly as disagreeable as th

We all used co-routines in Windows 3.1 ("co-operative multitasking"), and the application Window would go blank. Then we got threads and we were able to kick off compute to the background without having to be careful to yield thr

I admit I don't know the space that well, but I find it interesting that you get static site generators for SPA frameworks, and the companies behind them get really significant VC funding. Naively it seems a trivial problem, but I gues

I suppose that this "right-wing Tory supporting organ of Rupert Murdoch" is "effectively defend[ing] Corbyn and his policies" for a simple reason - it's fun to stir the Labour party up. In truth, electorally the Tor

It isn't vitamin C. It has a lot of side effects, including serious psychiatric ones in limited cases. If you give it to 100 people you're going to get new health issues that you didn't have before in that population.

It's not an issue of supporting or not supporting the corporate entity - and they must follow US law. Indeed, it's a fiduciary obligation to the shareholders given they are a listed company.

It seems that it only tells half the story. Perhaps he was pushing code from his holiday in Crimea and his IP got tagged. Something like that would possibly do it.

I would imagine a lot of this is de-risking the issues surrounding the nativism in US politics. Canada is a good nearshore location. I presume visas for foreigners are considerably less problematic. I'm in Sydney and we see Amazon do

I actually find that surprisingly readable, probably because of the indent size which clearly allows the eye to see the blocks - and the size of my very large monitor - but this code seems to indicate a religious dogma about avoiding early

The tone of what you are saying strikes a nerve with me - we had exactly the same issues with Excel in the front office in investment banking. Unknowable ad-hoc, unversioned spreadsheets running much of the capital of the company.

The EU has important geopolitical reasons for existing on the continent of Europe. However, the UK does not share the history of the continental countries of being occupied by their neighbours. The compact "I surrender much of my sover
