As a small software vendor, this doens't seem accurate to me. My whole field is reading the papers but very often the scientists are ahead. It's their job to discover new territory, while we also have to deal with more mundane &qu

The films were really annoying to see end to end, the long version are unbearable. Music is better in RoP, every character and place has their theme, and they blend superbly like in Wagner or Monteverdi, unlike in the films. I also feel lik

same here... I watch every episode thrice. It's _that_ good, to me, and way better than the films.

Thanks for this, this must be a huge amount of work. A bicephal codec like JPEG XL is very intimidating to implement.

That's a reason why D's default are permissive. You add this or that constraints later, as needed.

I've measured it on real workload twice with LDC and each time "@fastMath" made things 1% slower. Of course this varies from backend to backend, but such woes would be avoided if the flag was named differently than "fast

Then why do we not study debugging, naming, maintenance, reading code etc... specifically?

When I started out, QBasic was instrumental in getting me interested in programming (other tools would not do it), because it was easy, all inclusive, graphics related, immediate, and well documented.

That point is adressed under the "Become more product-minded" sub-point. My advice is to remember the situations where _you_ have spent $10 online and just analyze what was in place to help you spend that money.

This post hits home. It's true that if you want to make a more framework-ey library it is easy to end up maintaining a lot for controlling the developer experience. It is really sobering since it means a limit to reuse.

I wonder how you can develop features like that, without looking at PSNR. Is it instead all subjective testing?

A few of my articles got posted on HN or in technical circles, but other than that the only rewards was to write the material in the first place - it helps organize thoughts.

My products have no copy protection so that you can use them / backup in the event I die. Besides that, the bias against "small" is so strong, that the end users just don't need to know how small the actual team is. Cust

Agreed. @nogc is useful if you have no a disabled or no-runtime, or in tight loops. Other than that, it's more fruitful to use pools, benchmark the GC, keep scannable heap small.

Many software positions do not account for the opportunity cost of learning job-specific knowledge, or soon-obsolete knowledge, making it hard to justify the investment in the long run. With pressure, the human capital will also erode faste

I think Software education is in its infancy, instead of teaching people how to make debt decisions to keep complexity and costs low, we actively teach them to write disposable code. That is the content of most courses: code that will be th
