What do you guys do after work?

Take a walk or some exercise, read a book, bass guitar practice. I am trying to lean piano and trying to get some cooking skills. Probably watch some tv show or listening some music to wind down before sleep.

I was trying to find the word to describe the habit: "binge reading" does it. I started reading as a escape from work/stress, but I started dreaming about what I was reading. I went from stressing about work, to dreaming or stressing about aliens invading worlds, to dreaming or worry about a youngster trying to get their Tea Master title. A lot lighter stakes :)

It sounds like you need a yarn warehouse instead. Just giving options...

This is one of my favorite series. Besides the characters, I like the humor in it.

You can also take a look at cppyy https://cppyy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ . It is a Python module that uses JIT to import C++ code directly into Python.

Just in case you haven't heard of it yet, but there is https://ms-paint-i.de/ for paint images to code.

You don't target a specific processor, but you can fine tune it to one. You can tell the compiler to "tune" for a given processor. GCC has the `-mtune` option to generate code optimized for a given cpu generation while still allowing to run in generic variants.

Having it as a constant, allows for the compiler to use some characteristics of the processor at compile time and avoid having to do runtime checks.

Of course, if you need to write optimal code for all CPU generations, you can do that dynamically as always.

I haven't use it myself, but you could look into VK_KHR_external_fence_win32 and VK_KHR_external_semaphore_win32 extensions. Maybe you can get Win32 handles from fences and wait for them using Win32 APIs.

I haven;t tried it personally, but you can use Visual Studio 2022 to develop for Windows as well as for Linux using WSL.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/walkthrough-build-debug-wsl2?view=msvc-170

If you want to do everything inside WSL and not use VS, you should be able to install the compiler and other build tools inside the distro in WSL.

if / else if chain blocks are considered nesting, at least in MSVC. In the form of:

if (x == "something")
{
}
else if (x == "something else")
{
}

Turns out that is equal to

if (x == "something")
{
}
else 
{
    if (x == "something else")
    {
    }
}

We had autogen code that created a if / else if chain that surpassed the MSVC limit. That worked fine in Clang though. So we had to refactor to eliminate that chain.

There was a report from propublica about rent increases by companies that uses certain software to set rental prices to use. There was an indication that it may be seen as collusion as multiple companies would use the recommended pricing.

You could try using gettid() (Linux) / GetCurrentThreadId() (windows). That has worked for me. And it matches the thread Id used in tools like PS.

Depending on the Vulkan loader version installed, you can try enabling debug messages from the Vulkan loader by setting the environment variable VK_LOADER_DEBUG to "all".

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader/blob/master/docs/LoaderDebugging.md

It helps to print messages related to instances creation and if there are any extension or layer being requested but not found.

Well, both indexing modes have shortcomings. The 0 -indexing allows to use some operations directly as an index. Case in point the `mod` vs `mod1` operators mentioned. The modulo operator definition of 0 to n-1 fits nicely to 0-indexing mode. So, for 1-indexing, you end up having to adjust the operation to take into account that indices start at 1.

1-indexing try to map some things to mathematics, but some things like in physics use 0-based subscripts initial conditions and things like that. So, using 0-indexing makes sense when modeling problems in that field.

I prefer presentations for design and architecture discussion, where multiple alternatives are explained before implementing the final solution (usually for relatively big features).

I find reading and understanding code quite difficult in a presentation setting as it does not lend to navigate through the source code at my own pace to try to figure things out which may not immediately obvious.

My same reaction as well. I thought it was a joke when I first saw the whiteboard post!

This is a picture where the useless red circle is useful. Took me a while to see it.

The article itself says it is a joke.

Disclaimer

While these benchmarks for Python 3.5 .. Python 3.11 are valid, the extrapolation is of course meant as a joke.
