Most advanced NICs support flow steering, which makes the NIC write to different buffers depending on the target port. In practice though, you only have a limited amount of these buffers, and it causes complications if multiple processes ne

You can definitely be a hands-on manager who builds things, though that's often what's called a team lead instead.

Large organizations are very inefficient, so much so that the inefficiency of the cloud is more efficient than them doing the work themselves.

I have no idea what the rules are, doesn't look like disk fragmentation at all.

In that picture I'm personally more bothered by the antialiasing than by the misalignment.

There are several problems with the C++ variant, which could have been easily avoided by just following the original Rust more closely.

The main applications that I use are a web browser, a terminal, and a text editor. Both my terminal and my text editor support tiling natively, and I assume there are extensions for my web browser to do the same. I'm not sure adding th

The transformations you're referring to are fully deterministic and guaranteed to be correct. LLMs provide statistically probable answers with no guarantee of correctness. It takes more time to review LLM code than it takes to write it

Depends on the target market. If they need to sell to other men, that's fine, but if they need to sell to other women (which is actually quite likely), then not so much.

It's already well-known that attractive women also do well at sales. This is the same thing.

Any code that does divisions and modulos with non-constants that are known to be powers of 2 should do the optimization manually. Even for non-powers-of-two there are also techniques to speed up divisions if the same divisor is used repeate

is there a web framework that managed to significantly iterate on knockout or is it all needless fluff to spout more buzzwords every week?

It's not just C, but also any object-oriented language. Basically the most popular imperative paradigms are just ill-suited to making the most of SIMD hardware. They're designed with other goals in mind.

That's not forcing anything, if you're not getting blend you're just targeting an old ISA without that instruction. It's up to you to choose your target adequately based on your deployment requirements.
623.
by mgaunard 2y ago
normally there is an instruction for this called blend (since SSE4.1). There shouldn't be a need to do any bitwise magic.

a cmov-based approach is necessarily slower than a branch-based approach that was correctly predicted, since cmov requires computing both branches then selecting the result at the end.

The main problem of SIMD remains the same: it requires working with structures of arrays rather than arrays of structures, which makes it more difficult to combine and layer objects on top of each other.

You can just use templates or macros to make it length-agnostic.

I quit the company I was working for many times. It was usually an opportunity to leave the drama behind, not create more.

The people that wrote it probably moved on, so ownership and fit must be weak.

I believe the original proposal for noexcept was that throwing was UB, and the original author believed strongly it should have been that way. In the end what got into the standard is that it is well-defined: it calls std::terminate. If I r

if you want a fast hash map, just use a library that is built specifically around a particular implementation strategy. std unordered map is slow by design for several reasons. Things of interest are: - open addressing method: linear, quadr
