I wish software packages had data sheets! It would be great to have a concise/standardized format with bullet points and a "typical applications" section on github landing pages.

For an excellent sci-fi exploration of using multiple personalities to one's advantage, I highly recommend "Blindsight" by Peter Watts. His recent sequel, "Echopraxia", has an interesting extension of bicameralism a

If the branch is predictable, and the cpu guesses correctly, then it is faster than integer arithmetic. A branch miss on the other hand is much more expensive, about 14 cycles last time I was testing (on a core i5 desktop cpu from a few yea

I use Eclipse as my main IDE for C/C++, python, javascript, go, html, css, etc. I don't understand how some of my office mates don't use IDE's when you have things like: Show all uses of struct field/function/

I'm very interested to see what Carmack does. I hope the whole team moves to Valve or something, and this doesn't set back VR another 10 years.

What are the anonymous 4096 byte allocations before every read? I would think that killall would read /proc/{pid}/stat directly into a stack buffer, especially if the reads are only 1024 bytes.

It's awesome how simulation games like KSP teach people about rocketry and orbital mechanics - I bet KSP will contribute to the coming resurgence of interest in spaceflight. Lots of KSP references in the youtube comments: https:/

If you set up multiple Chrome users (Settings > Add New User), you can log into multiple google accounts at once.

Sure, but then you can't use the standard library or any other libraries. Even a single exception sneaking into the codebase breaks everything.

Does anyone know of large projects where C++ handles memory allocation failures gracefully? For services that need to stay up and never crash under memory pressure, I would think C is the way to go. It's too hard to reason about control f

I think they mean the model number, LTN097QL01-A02, is a samsung model number. The 1024x768 lcd in the linked document has model number LTN097XL01-A01.

Very cool. I'm try to understand the stack handling in lthread_compute.c - Can you explain briefly how this works? What is the memcpy for in _lthread_compute_save_exec_state?

With automation, many of the jobs won't come back with the factory. There will be a few highly-technical positions for the engineers that set up the plant and keep it running, but for the most part it's like building a datacenter as mentio

What if a startup spends ~2 years coming up with an idea, launches it, and gets noticed by a Big Company before the site gets big. What's to stop the Big Company from just implementing the idea themselves in a slightly different form? Wou

I'm about to get out of college, and at my new job I'm using mostly C. Well-written C is surprisingly fun to work with (although you could probably say that about anything).
