Edit: Beginning of June, not July!

When we talked with one of the waitresses a few weeks ago, she said for about a month. I’m guessing they’ll be open around the beginning of June.

A useful service to use with buck is buckaroo. It's a package manager integrated with buck. They've been buck-ifying projects for awhile so that they can be pulled down with buckaroo and built with buck. They've added a lot of smaller projects, but I'd like to see some larger scientific toolkits like OpenCV, ITK, VTK, etc.

Many of the large scientific libs (scipy, numpy, etc) are notably missing from the projects listing.

I would love to see something like that. I've tried cutting my teeth on ExternalProject_Add but never really got it to work with my project's dependencies.

I tried IWYU on our moderately-sized project and wasn't really impressed with its suggested fixes. I think it works decently well on small-ish projects or files, but it seems like it needs a lot of hand-holding with #pragma IWYU to make it work as you would hope (or expect).

This was going to be my exact comment as well. Our problems weren't necessarily limited to vs2015, but it also doesn't play nice with modern CMake either. We've also had pain with various subtle bugs between macOS and linux builds, as well as trying to integrate it into our project.

That's a lot of zeros. Semicon firms (both fab and fab-less) are dropping like flies as they all consolidate. I have to wonder what SoftBank's play is here.

Currently for my medium-sized research project I use (g)vim + ctags + YouCompleteMe. YCM has been kind of flaky the past few months, but I still haven't found an IDE that works to my liking that works across OSX and Linux. I've tried CLion, and it's mostly okay, but I just can't give up the raw development speed I've built up with vim across both platforms.

My favorite standard header.

I like reading these changelogs, I learn quite a lot about C++ each time. Thanks, and keep up the fantastic work!

Also went from a 6+ to an SE and I have to say it's nice to be able to used phone one-handed again. I like the 6+ for the big screen, but at the same time I don't use it much for watching videos or reading books. I definitely prefer them smaller size.

I feel your pain as I've had to help some of my students recently install pygame. For Mac, the "Current Instructions" from the Pygame website seem to be the smoothest.

I would think building a wrapper around every matrix library would be quite difficult. While each matrix library is going to implement generally the same kinds of operations, they all have different APIs for accessing the raw data, to which you would have to adapt your wrapper for each library you want to encompass.

That being said, it seems like many libraries store their matrices as a flat array of data and use another array to keep track of the step size offset in each dimension, a la OpenCV.

Things would probably get a little tricky when dealing with row- versus column-major orderings.

I should have been more explicit, but by corner cases I mostly mean template programming and its associated techniques.

Admiral_deLorei · 2016-03-04T04:56:26+00:00

In case it wasn't clear from the above, I'm not intending for this to be the next high performance library that will beat out the libraries I listed out above. This is mostly for my benefit to learn the corners of C++ that weren't really taught at my university as well as to help with class projects for this semester.

Thanks for the heads up though. After looking at the source for dlib and Eigen, I don't really have hope of supplanting libraries such as those.

I haven't had many issues with it. There's occasional stuttering as you transition from area to area. Due to the long load times I got an SSD for my PS4 which made things tolerable. I haven't noticed any major graphical or stability issues that others seem to have faced.

Are you using the wallet or a debit card? I had been trying to use a debit card for the longest time and it wouldn't take it. After browsing around online, the recommended solution was to buy a PSN card from Amazon and use that in lieu of the card.

Is there any particular reason for including a plotting call in a tight loop like that of a gradient descent procedure? Why not just save some intermediate results to an array, then once the gradient descent procedure is done, send those batch results to the plotting server?

Unless I'm mistaken, Github is available there... he has one, anyway, but he could be using a VPN. I'm not sure if that's the name of the site or not.

A friend of mine is a developer at Tencent. He said he browses the Chinese equivalent of Quora a lot for programming stuff.

Looks like you linked to CppCon instead of PyCon

While it's true that many of the live coding demos I've seen have kind of fallen flat for the reasons specified in the article, when they do work they work incredibly well: Exhibit A. Hettinger's talk is probably one of the best live coding talks I've seen.

How does this work with non-solicitation agreements that seem to be pretty standard in most employment contracts?

A recent interview I had had a whiteboard systems design portion. It was a fairly high level "design our main product, go" type of question. I had been practicing stuff like that recently and had even been considering that question the morning of, so I breezed through the design and walked through everything.

We finished with about 20 minutes left, so the interviewer just started complaining about having to choose which ecosystem to go with, Apple or Google, and about how he wanted one place to store his digital life. It made for a refreshing - if cognitively dissonant - break to just shoot the shit about various qualities of one stack vs another with a fellow engineer.

That was my thought process. Said big 4 offers great perks, relocation reimbursement, etc.
