I've started with and am used to the "old-school" CMake. Is there a good article that showcases some of the more modern features?

This is the most intuitive visualization of the Riemann Zeta function I've come across: https://youtu.be/sD0NjbwqlYw .

Reminds me of a cooked-in version of LaTeXiT [1], a utility I find invaluable when it comes to combining figure drawing (e.g., with OmniGraffle) and LaTeX annotations of arbitrary complexity. [1] http://chachatelier.fr/latex

It would be great to see such elaborate guidelines to be accompanied with an integration into a linting tool, such as clang-tidy.

Here's my very basic attempt to visualize some of the key structures: https://github.com/mavam/abstract-algebra-cheatsheet . Is anyone aware of something similar, but much more comprehensive?

I've done a similar-but-not-so-elaborate analysis a while ago with a large variety of compression algorithms: https://github.com/mavam/compbench . Only two input types: text logs and network traces. My conclusion w

(Disclaimer: CAF co-maintainer here.) It's great to see more actor runtimes on the rise. Also interesting to see the actor model implemented in Go, which follows more of a pi calculus design with its channels. With an actor design, the

When I took stats classes at UC Berkeley, we covered a lot of ground quickly. The courses (STAT 200A and 200B) where breadth-first in the sense that you just got a short amount of exposure to each concept. But since many concepts build on

I fully agree that tracing each concept to its originating source has great value. From a presentational point of view, I wonder if it would pollute the plain/clean presentation of the formulas. Perhaps very small footnote-like citatio

Ironically I used to title it "cheatsheet" but then switched to "cookbook" when the document was extending beyond +25 pages. I don't mind going back to "cheatsheet". Feel free to submit a pull request.

Indeed, when I took my introductory statistics courses at UC Berkeley (STAT 200A and STAT 200B), we discussed the pitfalls of blindly applying these concepts---albeit at very high level. Initially, I wrote this cookbook/cheatsheet in o

I understand that your point is that unique_ptr facilitates resource management. But the example you provide is a misleading. How is this supposed to compile? The deleter type is part of the unique_ptr. So you need something along these lin

What's wrong with vector<bool> (other than its name)? The interface is exactly what you need to implement a bit-level abstraction in a language where this isn't a first-class primitive.

Even better: N3980 [1] This proposal decouples the implementation of hash functions from how types get hashed. [1] http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n398...

It's great to see efforts towards integration of strong cryptographic verifications. But what I currently miss is something much simpler: SHA digests for release tarballs. I've already contacted github support, but apparently this

+1 for Having Measured It. The basic getline interface removes heap pressure by reusing the same string over and over, even though semantically the optional<string> approach may look cleaner. Eric Niebler showed a while ago (I can&#x2

We've been seeing similar attempts recently, all attempting to fill a long overdue gap: the composability of algorithms in the standard library. At this point, there exists a TS [1] for ranges [2] along with an implementation [3]. It

On a related note, the first few pages of my statistics cookbook [1] contain visualizations of several distributions with varying parameterization, both P[MD]Fs and CDFs. I found this quite helpful in getting an intuitive understanding of a

Excellent follow up, because the main developer of packet bricks is also a co-author of mTCP :-).

The goal is to have both. In fact, the whole point of kernel bypass is performance, so just having ease of configuration would defeat the point. We're using packet bricks primarily for high-performance network monitoring in environment

Iptables sits in the kernel and is also not available on non-Linux platforms like FreeBSD. With packet bricks you bypass the kernel and expose "virtual" interfaces to your applications by means of a simple configuration. Here&#x27

That's exactly the idea behind packet bricks (see other comment): you have one single tool that takes all the packets directly from the NIC (say eth0) and then exposes them according to your bricks configuration to a bunch of other int
