No user record in our sample, but drwells has activity below (stories or comments). Likely we have partial data — the full bulk-load will fill profiles in.

At least one C++ library that I rely on (that produces an incredible number of template instantiations in the object files) ultimately results in a 2 GB shared object file for the debug version (generating DWARF info…
I would be interested to hear if this is a workflow that suits people that write mathematics papers or other complicated TeX documents. My TeX code is very macro heavy (I know some mathematicians who define almost…
You are absolutely right re: robustness (and that code falls back to the iterative method), but IIRC the Newton scheme was at least one order of magnitude slower than the formula. It was also slightly less accurate…
Rounding issues in the quadratic formula have bitten me several times: in particular, the inverse of a 2D bilinear mapping requires solving a quadratic equation which (if things are skewed) can be very badly…
The proposed C++ tricks are useful and I think that its reasonably well-known (at least to people who do numerics) that a C++ compiler, with the right flags, can beautifully unroll loops when array sizes are known at…
I have not done a census of the various libraries around, but all of the free finite element libraries in common use (deal.II, libmesh, and FEnICs come to mind first) are written in C++. I suspect Fluent and Abaqus are…
My biggest criticism of this work is that it does not consider C++. Most of the big HPC projects today are written in C++, not C, and to the best of my knowledge this transition happened in the 90s.
