I disagree. For example people who know what their officials are saying which is why twitter let trump on while he violated some rules. Making shit they say less visible is not a great idea
You know there's a bump coming when a new generation of entertainment machines comes out (also applies to anything that doesn't update every year like apple ipad mini may cause a bump but it's not nearly as competitive as gaming)
> When do you use packrat parser vs LALR vs LL? Good luck hiring an engineer with advanced compiler courses knowing any of this
Honestly, I have no idea why you would want any of those. Can you explain in a few sentences?
I written a parser before and it was faster than everything I used that does the same thing or similar. And I haven't had any professional or teachers teach me parsing
I once wrote a json parser in .NET. It was faster than literally everything I tried but I already know it can't touch simdjson and I haven't compared it to the new dotnet parser but I imagine they do it faster. I'm actually confused how people write such shitty parsers when I barely know what I'm doing. Like are they using a link list or revisiting characters multiple times to parse? (I think two visits is acceptable. One to find the end of a number and another pass to convert the number to value although I'm sure it's not hard to do one pass)
Usually variable names in a loop is the object being manipulated not the address of that pointer which means p isn't a pointer to the object which makes it completely confusing.
If the article used pp which is the typical way you describe a pointer to pointer it'd help
This legit makes no sense to me. Why would you need concurrent write on a zip file? How would you even know where to write when you depend on compressed sizes that haven't been done on other cores? From what I remember you basically can create a zip by putting a header than adding compressed files back to back (no idea why you couldn't use multiple cores to compress each and add when your ready) then add the filelist at the end. Like I have no idea what your issue is
Sometimes I wonder if it's because people don't really pay for software.
Photoshop doesn't really have competition. xcode is free. Why bother improve either of things?
Hell besides C++ compilers seem to be slow af. D is unfunded and mostly been written by 1 guy (Walter). It's faster than Go which people say is fast and go was written by a team (source https://i.imgur.com/FIcgRwd.png, from page https://imgur.com/a/jQUav).
I'm pretty sure compilers can do > 100K lines per core per second easily but I haven't confirmed if any does. I'd bet 100K on anyone who takes it that compilers can do 200K per core per second or 500+ using multiple cores. No cheating with a simple brainfuck language or having everything you need defined ahead of time like C++ does with headers
Sorry mate but this is fucking stupid. Facebook ruining lives is way worse then apple not letting you run apps
And 99% of software is absolute crap anyway
I rather have an open source console ($300) or phone ($400) so I have one specific hardware to test against that most people can afford and have anything spec higher conform to the lower one so people don't have to test dozens and dozens of hardware (friend told me his company has 20+ android phones that they MUST test against because they all glitchy)
What's wrong with zip? It's fine. Maybe more than fine if it managed to be this popular for so many applications. From my understanding it's very good on floppy disk too
What's the fastest way to read a file thats 32 (or 64) byte aligned (not bit, but byte)?
I was thinking synchronous open/stat might not be optimal. My current code opens/stat/fadvise that I'll read it all and then mmap entire files handing them off to different threads. What calls do I want?
I wish the article listed the enhanced API calls but I guess i'll be hunting those this weekend
People keep talking about free market but from what I heard a city was not allowed to be an ISP or build their own network because of some state law the telecomms manage to pass.
How is the market free when you have law interfering.
There should be more regulations because you know companies will f around if there's nothing saying they can't
There was a company (which had a few higher up's put in jail) that charged California a lot of $ for power outages and the state sued them back
