> Fluid layouts and scaffolding. Short of doing a whole CSS rule engine (best) you can also implement a Flutter-like layout system. It is described well by Flutter documentation and is quite flexible.

You can do this with: https://github.com/RJVB/sse_mathfun Those functions do not have the same safety as libc, but even for scalar sin/cos it can be faster.

> First-class & Interestingly like Graydon suggests this and 'tis something D has, you can only have `ref` for function parameters. This is something the users sometimes complain about, but I guess it has positives.

Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste My terrible summing up would be that the book explores the way "status" can be hoarded across generations.

Quoting wikipedia: "Positional goods are goods for which the satisfaction derives (at least in part) from higher pricing." High price is just part of the appeal of Apple products for many.

For the audio plugin side of things, I wrote a bit about the kinds of optimizations we do: https://dplug.org/tutorials/Dplug%20Tutorials%2011%20-%20UI%... People have come to expect much more UI feedback than before, a

Unfortunately modern macOS renders everything at 5k and downsample, the rendering could do pretty significant stuff (like, extend bitdepth to 16-bit, color lookup to AppleRGB, trim bitdepth, with threads!) behind your back when using non-Me

What I do is: write in down in a text file. Work on it a tiny bit until the idea stops looking so good.

Amazingly I did that for 3.5 years at 70% pay, I think the law changed after that. It is the biggest "incubator" in the country.

Indeed, and your comment led me to find additional issues with my port of _mm_madd_epi16. I agree it would perhaps be possible to find better semantics for SIMD that kinda gloss over all the differences. That would be cleaner but require a

What I do for D is implement the intrinsics following the semantics of the x86 instructions. Target x86, x86_64, arm32, arm64 with D compilers, that smoothes out the difference. It's a lot of work, and very similar to the simd-everywhe

Counterpoint: it's not all positive to do multiversioning. - You pay for it in build times, more IR, more optimizations. - a lot of software is for servers, in that case you mostly know the arch before-hand. Multi-versioning is best fo

Hot-take: Agile is for service work, where the customer can't explain the problem very well yet, and you can take the reputation damage of showing half-work. Product work should have some amount of discovery, but derisked by user resea

Well no that particular laptop have been my mainstay for 7 years of mobility, and ran 7 years vertically on a stand, so Apple would have broken way before that Lenovo. Notwistanding the price.

I had a Lenovo with double-battery and about 18 hours of autonomy, so it's not impossible to get that at a discount.

A TODO means you have identified a way to make the code better. Since not everything needs to be at the highest quality, it is helpful to say what will benefit from being improved for future programmers. If the TODO is not really "to d
