How about using a language where you can start at this moment?

If you use a LLVM compiler, _mm_cvtpd_ps just translate to LLVM IR and is not Intel specific anymore.

My favourite was a function to swap either a byte, word or dword with a single ret. The function would have three entry points, calling itself recursively like hanoi-towers.

I've found that many confuse the question "is it a viable programming language?" with "does it stand a chance to be top-10 popular?". The second proposition is much harder than the first, and many language will need

Your culture is so great that someone that has left your team is called a "dickass" on the Internet.

It seems AV1 allows to rotate reference blocks in inter prediction. I wonder what an algorithm that would search for a prediction MV would look like (not even counting bidir). Even without rotation, MV search can get sophisticated and not e

Look no further than this to understand why Linux doesn't work for most game developers https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/linux-game-sales-stat...

Even as an desktop developer, often Linux is 2% of the user base, very vocal, used to software being free, and with infinite OS variations. That's not very compelling.

I've implemented RSS for my blog because its pull mode instead of push mode (like god awful notifications everyone wants you to enable). I don't know if anyone uses it though!

Personally I like landing pages that are pretty. It makes me confident that some care went into the product too.

You'll mechanically get rewards in terms of bugs reported, paid bug fixes, paid enhancements etc. Useful software brings value to it by the virtue of being useful. There is also a mechanical incentive to contribute back, which is &quot

The problem is this interact badly with the nature of software which is valuable by being reusable, and extract added value from what can be automated. Where there was perhaps a market need for 1 library for doing task X, now there are coun

The restrictive licenses bring nothing to the table. It is an outdated dogma. We ought to choose licences that actually enable software to be written, without needless hurdles. Apple, MS and Google understood this, and they release swathes

Sorry it was not sarcasm. You are right tho, when that happen I'll probably go back to IRC. The problem with better chat is that it's better, so you spend more time on it.

That's why I use Discord, the free tier has _unlimited_ history. The client itself is lightweight, and it's an incremental improvement on IRC in many other areas, as you would expect. Still using IRC of course :)

Either it's a case of Fundamental Attribution Error, or the natural tendency for "luck" events is to be negative rather than positive.

Yes because it documents what should go in the corresponding JSON, and some editors will automatically add completion.

What I get from your post is that in less than 10 years, people that get such a short training will be good regardless. Maybe then good programmers will become a commodity: this will surely change a thing or two.

Every post in this thread slightly criticizing Rust is greyed. This is an unfortunate part of being an overhyped language: no one is allowed to emit discordant opinions.

Without going into the language details: it seems there is only one open-source free compiler for Ada, while there are three for D.

But there is no one single such triangle. Many people have in mind this version of the "quality triangle" which we were discussing (not a Project Management triangle which I agree is more on point). You get that a lot if search fo
