> It's also the constant stream of digital nomad influencers on Twitter who sell extremely distorted, rosy, and often times false dreams to indie entrepreneurs like myself. I belie…

I'm confused and very far from an expert here. What is wrong with parsers, and what is the alternative?

I am almost unhappy to learn that this was a joke. Would have been nice to put a final (personal) nail in the C++ coffin with this insanity. However, I guess it says enough that I …

https://gist.github.com/revivalizer/935dfcc345b009a0207a033c... Even includes error handling :) At the bottom you can see some test examples of what it can do. Obviously it is a ba…

I've found that a super simple way to parse basic expressions is a recursive descent parser. It is very simple to implement. No need to to break into tokenizer/parser, no need to g…

This is well-known, and almost trivial. But because I am curious I looked this up in NR 3rd edition. Section 7.1.5 says > The steps above that convert a 64-bit integer to a double …

That's interesting. My kneejerk reaction to your comment was "no, you don't have a strategy for landing a man on the moon, you have a mission architecture!". But on further conside…

We can talk about the advantages of monorepos, but your questions is phrased in a way that makes me think that you don't see any "trouble" in multiple repositories. I would encoura…

Coffee dampens appetite. (Drink it black)

Rust was started in 2006. [1] Zig was started in 2015. [2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language) [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zig_(programming_language…

I am also a zig newbie. Since zig is a relatively simple language, I've found it easy enough to read and understand what is going on in the zig standard library, even if I don't un…

That's funny. I am old, and I think 3 seconds is unacceptable. I use zig anyway.

In general I would agree, but (as multiple people pointed out) the zig standard library source code is very accessible.

Hey @nordicengineer, we have a bunch of open positions that might be relevant, and I think we're a pretty good place to work & pretty meaningful. If you're willing to relocate to O…

That's interesting. Maybe I should work on improving my handwriting. For now I just really love the undo feature, and I specifically use when I look at something I wrote and think …

I've had my Remarkable 2 for 2-3 months. I agree with some of the critiscims here (missing tags, bad typing experience, little integrability), but overall I am super happy with the…

One thing you're missing: Smaller size before compression does not necessarily imply smaller size after compression. For instance, /O2 has a tendency to generate code that is diffi…

I'm also interested in hearing more.

OpenGL draws millions of triangles many times a second. I'd suggest that this is not a problem we need to keep solving :-)

The app seems to have lost my data, all my streaks reset to zero. Now that's a bit of motivational catastrophe - something I don't think you EVER want to have happen. Anybody else …

I bought it based on this thread and the video; I agree. I just decided to stop using it after 30 minutes, too many things don't really work. Now how do I get my money back from th…

Agreed. If he has no pull with management, and this is what his experience with 'superstar programmers' amounts to, he should find a place of employment with better technical peopl…

My personal favourite: PRIMETEST But the list is surprisingly long, so not that surpring that something concerning primes would be in there.

For Mac, Slife seems like an alternative. http://www.slifelabs.com/

This comments seems a little bit shortsighted. Where do you stop? Is it okay if you write your own interface to the hardware drivers, bypassing DirectX/OpenGL? Or do you also have …
