I usually reference a combination of: Dragon Book, Muchnicks: Advanced Compiler Design, and Semantics with Applications. I have been meaning to pick up a copy of Engineering a Compiler. (I should also note I am currently reading: Principles

as @wglb said below I can't disagree with you more on the Dragon book. Yes, there are probably better resources out there for lexing and parsing but have your looked at the rest of the book? It actually covers most of the important static

No we do science too. Math is a fundamental part of lots of CS branches but we also do straight up science (with the whole research question, hypothesis, experiment, evaluate cycle).

Has anybody upvoting this actually read the article? It is just a database error for me. (originally tried to read it at around 9 points).

It is fine to have a different interpretation but I suggest before forming an opinion to look at modern scholarship on the matter. Biblical scholarship is fractal; the deeper you go the deeper there is to go. Finally, KJV is simply not a ve

"Spare the stick and spoil the child" That proverb is misapplied. When you look at the original Hebrew in context the stick was a guiding stick not a beating stick. A guiding stick is one used for gentle nudges to keep someone on the right

I am not the author of the gist but quoting from it: "our work on a high performance NATS server in Go." Furthermore, the tests he shows are run using Go's testing tool (which tests go code). Finally, he discusses "no use of defer" a Go lan

The download is pretty massive, it is 6235641 bytes. Which is slow even on the multihomed fiber connection I am on. Still pretty neat.

In a similar vein. Here is the trend with the addition of the candidates in the previous 2 elections: http://www.google.ca/trends/explore#q=obama%2C%20romney%2C%2... It will be interesting to see if Obama wins. If he does then winning in

Respectfully most programmers don't work in advertising. It may be suitable in Advertising where the term is well understood. However, I don't think it should be a widely applied term outside of that field. The "plain sense" of the term is
223.
by timtadh 14y ago
That may be true but I find the term denigrating towards programmers. This isn't the advertising industry and their nomenclature isn't appropriate here. It implies a "non-creative" type of programmer. It also implies most programmers are of

Testing in my lab at CWRU by Gary Doran has indicated that correctly written Numpy code often outperforms the Matlab equivalent. I don't know about R and Julia but there isn't usually a speed bottleneck which can be fixed by moving to Matla

Anyone able to find a link to the code? I have been looking around but I can only seem to find the binaries.

Accuracy. Detail. They have better analysis engines, which do more complex types of program analysis. The static program analysis field is incredibly deep it takes a lot of engineering to make a world class analysis engine. Just like it tak

On the Java end (all though these tools also do C/C++ and other languages maybe even .NET but their speciality from my understanding is Java) is Fortify [now owned by HP] and IBM AppScan Source [previous Ounce from Ounce Labs]. Both produce

My impression is the Microsoft of the 90s has little to do with the Microsoft of today in terms of QA, testing, and security. This impression is "secondhand" (I have never worked for Microsoft). Reforms were made, so if you information come

You expect import imports names which have actually been declared somewhere. Names which you can find and look at the definition. This library essentially hijacks the import process to allow you to import any name, each name is then actuall

I think it would be good to do a targeted posting rate eg. 30 posts per hour[1] or something of that nature. If last 20 min when regressed predict under 30 posts in the next hour it should cost 0 karma to post. However, for every post/hour

I learned x86 from "Programming from the Ground Up." It was pretty good but doesn't cover 64bit extensions. I would recommend it. Even if it doesn't cover everything what it does cover it covers well.

At least in Ohio most police cruisers are setup to record video+audio of stops and the police are supposed to use them at every stop. Whether or not that happens I don't know.
