Used a similar scope during my grad school tenure for measuring 200GS/s ADCs. RF electronics is a wonderful field.

Totally agreed. The fact that some of these concepts are embedded into the language design (say for C++) are minor conveniences at best - when they almost perfectly line up with the data you have - but just get in the way most of the time.

It's really annoying how many people misunderstand the term 'data oriented design'. Usually to mean something like 'not object oriented programming'. If your data was inherently hierarchical and talking about animal

Schema design is THE problem data oriented programming is focused on. It's saying, let's design our data structures in memory and on disk such that they exist to solve the problem at hand. I think youre talking about the same thin

It's depressing to think that when that documentary came out, the general reaction of the public was ambivalence to outright laughter. Al Gore really was a visionary, even if he was 30 years late compared to the climate scientists.

I suggest watching this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vElZc6zSIXM Or pretty much any other by Chandler to understand why the STL sucks and why you should write better datastructures for your own use cases.

If I heard news that Jeff Bezos bank account was hacked and $50 million dollars were stolen, I don't think I would even bat an eye. When I hear of ransomware shutting down hospital computers I'm furious and want to see these clown

This company was an obvious scam from the beginning...the EV hype brought on by Tesla swept up so many naive people. Some of my family invested in this stock and lost a lot of money.

I've pre-ordered an Ioniq 5. Tesla has a real competitor in Hyundai. If you don't care about the "self-driving" thing, other companies are catching up fast.

Certainly if you design a scenario where linked lists are superior to use, you should use linked lists. Fortunately, these are few and far between in real production software.

Any game engine design worth its salt would: 1. Probably not used linked lists (contiguous layout means better cache efficiency) 2. Would try to understand their data requirements and allocate memory up front as much as possible - doing a s

Disagree. The difference is fundamental and if you don't know it you are going to be stuck with a false understanding of the framework you're working with - and you will likely end up trying to shove bad abstractions into places w

Not really. If you want to do iOS development, there's no point in using C++. The Swift interop with C++ is very painful. I think for Android development, the NDK support is much better and there you might be able to leverage C++ much

This has like...none of the features of Monodraw? Drawings aren't objects - this is just a canvas. This is not an alternative to Monodraw - but an ASCII painting app.

VS Code is an awful editor in general. I don't understand how it's so popular. Maybe it's just me but I don't like having 300ms lag between every action I perform on my editor. The vim emulation is a joke. Onivim's
