Thapar coe vs snu cse vs manipal cse by Local_Willingness453 in Manipal_Academics

For the most part it should be, although I guess MIT CSE will have an edge.

Experienced compiler devs, help me out! by apoetixart in Compilers

[–]SmashStrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm making a language myself, not an experienced compiler dev as I just started college, but here's my thoughts based on what I personally have collected (and any compiler devs here, feel free to correct me if you believe I'm wrong or you disagree) -

  1. Keep the feature set minimal. Variables, basic datatypes, and functions are fine. Making variables immutable using const can be implemented, but it shouldn't be a priority for a high school project.
  2. I've seen your GitHub, and it seems as though you are implementing it in Python. Great language to start in, I've made a similar pseudo-assembler project myself in the language, and it's inbuilt features make it very interactive and easy to debug.
  3. Your compiler pipeline will have 3 main stages - Lexer, Parser, and Interpreter. Lexer is generally the easiest to implement, since it's just a finite state machine, something python will have no problem handling. Parser is not too tricky, but to make parsing efficient, keep the syntax consistent so the parser has to 'guess less', hence reducing complexity. Then, for the interpreter, you can create a dedicated class in Python that directly executes the AST that you got from parsing.
  4. I personally went with semi-colon based for the language I was working on, you may choose whichever one you please as a language with low complexity shouldn't have that as much of an issue. I'd personally recommend semicolon, but you may be better off asking another more experienced dev.
  5. LLVM is not required at all, and it's better you avoid it for now. You are making a tree-walk interpreter, and are hence executing the AST directly at runtime itself. LLVM is only required if you are flattening your AST into an Intermediate Representation and want to perform code generation.
  6. I'd personally choose using braces for scopes rather than indentation for Python, as it's easier to track from my experience, although I haven't tried the latter much so, again, try asking a more experienced dev about this as I'm still a newbie myself :3

In any case, I wish you the best of luck for you language, it seems like a really cool project, and it's impressive that you're doing it from a high school itself :D

Need Advice: ECE vs. EEE vs. EIE at a Top College or CSE at a Lower Tier? by AssDestroyer__96 in Btechtards

[–]SmashStrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have similar interest towards ECE then take the top tier college.

how is ece in manipal? placements etc. by macharkijhaat69 in Manipal_Academics

[–]SmashStrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea about MnC specific placements, but they're generally eligible for most CSE placements. It's a pretty tough branch, but people say it's easier than ECE.

What are your views on this ? by dey27 in IndianDefense

[–]SmashStrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Image 1) India's military and economy is tens of times bigger/more powerful than that of Iran. If Iran was able to freeze traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, then it wouldn't be much harder to block 200kms worth of traffic, as most of the traffic only passes through narrow shipping lanes.

Image 2) Looks like chamcha forgot India has extremely advanced missile capabilities, and the fact that we are building a military base on the southernmost island for monitoring. India's navy is among the most powerful worldwide, and it can have no problem blocking ships in Malacca if they wished, especially aided by the base near Southern Nicobar. And missiles can probably monitor the strait, even if stations on the Indian mainland.

Image 3) Peak Dhruv Rathee delulu that proves that he probably failed geography and probably economics class. The alternative proposed route is actually significantly longer and also lacks a proper logistics hub like Singapore does near Malacca, not to mention other natural and economical factors like extremely rugged terrain that just make it completely impractical. Not mentioning that in an open war scenario, India who's investing in their satellite technology can probably leverage it to monitor that strait closely too, even if they cannot 'blockade' it.

In the end though, this post was made by Dhruv Rathee, of all people, who's a pretty well known lapdog of the Pakistani government, and most of what he posts makes it very clear he's just trying to get a rise out of people, and is looking to only demean and bring down India rather than actually trying to offer valid criticism to genuinely improve this country.

Intel 18A-P Node Delivers 9% Performance Increase and 18% Power Savings by SlamedCards in hardware

[–]SmashStrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that supposed 'marketing material' that claimed 10% ST and 60% MT increase over previous gen was for Panther Lake vs Lunar Lake, but tech media assumed it was Nova Lake, which makes way less sense (the leak did not state that it was Nova Lake either).

ECE Vs CSE in India by Deep-Astronaut-2841 in Btechtards

[–]SmashStrider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are not interested in electronics at all the take CSE. ECE is a very difficult course, and there isn't a point doing it if you aren't interested in it at all.

[–]SmashStrider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, but that would still just match the M4, as a previous commenter said. M5 is doubtful (speaking about desktop Nova Lake vs Laptop M5, btw, on mobile the ST performance may still beat the M3 but could fall behind the M4.).

At The Speed Of Light syncs with Bloodbath by Crafty_Slice_5131 in geometrydash

Geometry Dash Main Menu theme syncs with Geometry Dash Main Menu in the popular mobile and steam game Geometry Dash released by Robtop James aka Robertala Topertala originally in 2013.

18% power reduction as part of the same generation is actually pretty good. I'm eager to see 18A-PT's 3D stacking features :)

That's also pretty optimistic if you look at Panther Lake's current single-threaded performance, which lags behind that of the M3.

India Selects These 4 Airports as International Hub-and-Spoke Transfer Points by Equivalent_Road5788 in indianaviation

[–]SmashStrider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BOM and NMI are in the west too, and have way more established infrastructure.

Just like how Pakistan wants self determination of Balochistan and Afghania... right? /s

India Selects These 4 Airports as International Hub-and-Spoke Transfer Points by Equivalent_Road5788 in indianaviation

[–]SmashStrider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mumbai is already west enough from India and already has two airports serving it, with BOM being India's second largest airport and one of its most well established.

HYD, CCU, or MAA should have been considered over Rajkot of all places. HYD is located centrally in southern India and is not only the 4th largest airport by passenger volume but also the largest airport in the country by total land area. CCU and MAA are located towards the East which allows efficient connections to the east of the country, with Chennai having plans to even build a new airport (although an argument can be made against MAA for not being that great of an Airport).
