Matlab has the opposite where your syntactically valid but mysteriously non-working code suddenly has a large array. EDIT: On the other hand, I think Matlab's array(end - number) indexing syntax is a good compromise of convenience and

I'll guess practical compiler books that goes down to assembly would also be helpful, especially those for those with inclination to language implementations. So far, I haven't read any though, and hope rui314's book comes ou

T-shaped is good, but preferably skills are organically acquired. In my previous work, the T-shaped mantra has been naively pushed and used as an excuse to put employees on all sorts of disjoint activities and trainings that took time away

When it can't be avoided there were (rare) times that I used #includes to split what would have been one long source file into multiple files. (2k lines is still within my 1 file threshold, but I generally aim for less than 1k lines).

Got one, the links and repo look legit (on first glance at least). But I have absolutely no idea why I am cc'ed on it. I'm replacing the specifics with words in "<>", but here's the title of my mail from notif

I had a bad boss who held my career back (he eventually lost his position due to fraud). Knowing I worked just as hard or maybe even harder than my friends and seeing them move far ahead in their careers just added to the misery and made me

Qt and wxWidgets are also worth considering assuming you would just be "writing" the code and not taking advantage of the visual designers. These do have visual designers, but Lazarus if far easier to use, IMHO, following the foot

I'm not sure whether it counts as boredom, but Python was said to have been created by GVR to keep himself occupied during a Christmas holiday.

There's a video where Alan Moore recommends reading terrible books. Knowing what frustrates me in years of poorly presented university textbooks helps me in a way.

The ideal hire would be "language implementation" people. There's a tendency for these to be C/C++ people because these offer conveniences in implementations. But they would also care about other languages and how they w

Exactly what keeps me away from "J" IDEs and Electron. But if productivity is compelling, I might just consider that my machine is powerful enough and that my daily web browser is just as resource greedy.

I use Visual Studio for the same reason, but might give IntelliJ a try as I've just checked that it also has a plugin for Rust.

I wasn't able to verify how FF actually behaved under snap, but snap's confusing notifications was enough to make it annoying. After failed tweaks, I'm glad that I no longer have to deal with this since I already purged FF th

Good point. This made me appreciate how shops would also stack books in the "perpendicular" direction with the front cover being visible.

besides tracing fewer rays, path tracing appears to have a "chiaroscuro" aesthetic to it. in moderation, absence of light can also be a good thing.

Depends where you are. If startups/innovation is not the norm in your circle, then it's difficult to find someone with the same values and skills beyond the norm. But then again, VCs are likely not there either.

I use both browsers on Ubuntu and Chrome never caused me any unpleasant update interruptions. The Firefox binary from mozilla.org is far less invasive, btw.

For those who are getting their Firefox messed up, the binary from the Mozilla site works just fine and is far more respectful. I'm using Mate 22.04 LTS. A few settings has to be done to disable updates behind your back, but at least t
