My main strength is algorithms and models, the deep technical stuff that takes a long time to develop.
Currently developing a kickass VST plugin. Located in Odense, Denmark, 29 years old.

> 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 believe that all sales are about selling…
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 did have to dig quite far into the…
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 basic calculator.
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 generate an AST, just evaluate the…
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 precision floating-point value involves…
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 consideration there really seems to be a lot…
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 encourage you to do some research and keep an…
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 understand the particular details of some…
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 Odense, Denmark send me an email at…
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 wont be able to read that in the…
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 tablet. I think it's just down to 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 difficult to compress. So it is always…
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 experience something similar?
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 the app store?
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 people. And BTW, anybody who a) accepts…
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 to write your own drivers to the…
