I wouldn't invest a lot of time into learning another stack - and personally I don't find learning RoR attractive in 2019. Just try if you can convince them with your current experience and catch up on the stack-specific details i

Microdosing works for me. I just get one cup of coffee in the morning and take tiny sips from it over the day. That appears to be enough to of a stimulus for my brain to function. Sometimes an espresso on top in the afternoon, but no more t

So there is hope to overcome the "not as portable as C" showstopper.

-march=c was apparently removed from LLVM? See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5180914/llvm-ir-back-to-... I didn't know that it existed in the first place and what i expected was a bit of a higher level

The date tag wasn't there previously. Someone added it by mistake as it seems.

Indeed. Support for -fno-strict-aliasing and -fwrapv can be expected for modern C compilers, so I don't see any real hurdles besides the obvious engineering and maintenance effort required to support a robust transpiler.

Learn to get an intuition for how your code performs. When is it appropriate to allocate memory from the heap? If you're in a rendering or audio processing routine in realtime context, avoid it at all cost. Think about which parts of t

It's a reasonable choice for the use-case at hand. I used a similar approach to generate C code using python with jinja2. Ironically, I generated a binary hash based lookup, because the hash values ought to stay constant even when new

Interesting question. By the way, would PROLOG, being mainly a logic programming language, really be the go-to language for constraint programming in the industry?

Very good tutorial. Could easily follow, although I don't know F#, just some Haskell.

FreeRTOS features sone nice and simple allocators on fixed buffers [0]. I have used heap4 to implement memory management for a fully portable test suite requiring malloc. Really any toy allocator would have done the job for that use-case, s

My advice would be not to specialize in one language too much. Just don't care about all the clutter that's in C++, you won't need more than a tiny fraction of it ever anyways. A lot of them are shoe-horned concepts brought f

Looked at the code and my current endeavors to learn Rust are reinforced. I'd prefer to never touch that abomination of a language that is C++ ever again.

"Machines need a lot more data than humans do in order to get smart" - is that true?

That's not constructive advice.

I guess the reasons depend on the environment, in my case a multi-platform embedded product. E.g. in my case I don't have a use for dynamic node instantiation. Testing partly requires fiddling with hardware and diverse system architec

Well - I dealt quite a bit with Jenkins shared libraries when porting jobs from Jenkins 1.x to Jenkins 2.x recently. Declarative pipelines are often too restrictive leading to a mixture of declarative and embedded scripted pipeline scraps.

That's interesting. Are there many instances where you would prefer malloc during real-time processing compared to pre-allocated arrays? I used FreeRTOS' heap_4.c [0] to run malloc-based test code on systems without native malloc,

The fact that registration is required for no obvious reason kinda makes the site a no-go zone for me. I only occasionally land there via Google Image search. Maybe I'm just not the right target audience, since I'm not a social me

I'm in the same boat with browser-based vs electron apps (see my question [1]). I don't think PDF-based forms are an alternative to reactive web forms though, as they aren't dynamic enough. The sole purpose of PDF is page-ori

Yeah, I really wanted to agree with the author and I did on some points e.g. avoid to abstract unnecessarily over effects. But advocating for explicitly defined library interfaces is actually dangerous unless there is the specific need for

Did you see the OP ask any questions about C++?

by nuclx 8y ago
Fair point. There are certainly other options like realloc'ing the memory for the array, if you want to keep constant time indexing.

In common user-space non-realtime environments only use arrays, if you have known bounds for the amount of elements. If an arbitrary number of elements is needed, you need dynamic memory management anyways, so use linked lists. If your requ

Well, you still have a pretty large run-time with Qt. If you want something slim, you can use neither Electron nor Qt.
