Very cool. Seems to be another tool in the same vein as halide-lang.org, now extended for sparse data.

Dependency graphs can also be annotated with the resources required for each node or edge. Resources are estimated by summation, time is estimated by finding the critical path. Gantt charts are a partial linearization of a dependency graph

Of course H1Bs get and accept the same offers. That's exactly the issue. Don't tell me you never knew the H1B who knowingly accepted a low salary because that was their chance to move to the US, get their food in the door, and ho

If you emulate a dozen machines on one physical machine, then a single exploit can traverse them all. If you pack a dozen "single board computers" in a case and give each a single function, then entire classes of attack are ruled

Some of the visual SLAM techniques are also getting fairly good results for cheap. In particular, see DSO (same research group as the previous LSD-SLAM). http://vision.in.tum.de/research/vslam/dso

Instantly, as in next line of code? Yeah, probable human error (or auto-generated code). Without being used? Not surprising. It is surprisingly common to allocate a variable, pass it to a function, and have the call never actually use th

Very much a part of the standard. i.e. not specific to SBCL. Think of defgeneric as the function signature and defmethod as the template specialization. Not sure why you say this is an error in CLOS. Looks fine to me. That said, most imp

I read those comments more than a decade ago. They seemed weak but tolerable then. They seem broken now. Git is supposed to guarantee that the code I see is the code the author saw, in a distributed and decentralized environment. This i

Backwards compat requires that both old and new hashes work at the same time. A simple typedef is unlikely to handle all the semantics and space needed for such a change... It is often hard to generalize when N=1. Now that the N=1 use cas

Fully agree regarding your points about micro payments. Patronage, monopoly-priced copyright, and advertising have all proven to have bad side-effects. IMO, the market may be acting rationally here. I have tried Octave several times, and

Matlab has always been a quirky language. It has good libraries for common math operations, good visualization tools, good documentation, and toolboxes available for many special tasks. There are a number of common pitfalls, with well-kno

Halide is for explicit SIMD, and a couple of the others provide good support for it as well. These tools are made by graphics and physics optimization people. Look at the examples.

Take a look at Halide. I think it is an excellent DSL, covering the base of what you describe, and well positioned for extension to the rest. If nothing else, the documentation is a summary of a wide range of optimization techniques. Wri
