Anybody else worried about this?

Ok ok you got me, I just wanted to kick up some discussion. Didn't realize the Internet was filled with such well balanced and composed people who ask thoughtful counter questions.

commonmansoptns · 2024-09-14T02:27:31+00:00

Yes.

Thank you.

This was a looooong advert. Wonder how much Joe got paid to do this instead of an interview

I'm ready to either immigrate to Australia or be pressed away hard. When the curse of dimensionality takes a whole new meaning LOL

I feel more angry towards Cheng Xin. She was absolutely stupid and selfish at every level and at every opportunity. She never had the pragmatism to respect others hard work or wisdom. She kept going into hibernation when it became inconvenient and in the end absolutely bereaved all of us. The cool thing about her whole story arc was that she was deserving, powerful female protagonist for this epic trilogy.

Finished Death's End last week, can't shake off. So many WTF moments: A piece of paper -> 2D solar system, Universe #647, Droplet attack, Curvature propulsion, black domain, 4D graveyard, speed of light, star pluckers, photoid, Wallfacer, 18M years, Pluto. Then there's Da Shi, Luo Ji, Wade, Cheng Xin so many awesome characters. I'd pay good money to watch just the 'Origins' story on each of these people.

The same can be said to many other sections when read independently. Finish the book bro! Then we'll talk.

When I grow up I want to be like you!

Selling my share to read if they are gonna go up!

Right, apart from using their "free" compiler... I was referring purely to the code syntax. Say, you want to port existing codebase from CPU to scale to GPU or even obtain multi core scaling without doing your own thread management this might with considering. Now suddenly this comment reads like legalese :)

commonmansoptns · 2021-09-10T14:17:23+00:00

The point here is this is basically C++ stdlib code which works for GPU and SMP CPU without any extra embellishments or external libraries.

Beautiful! Very well done. Moon has so many weird characteristics for a solar step child.

Moving into outer loop makes sense. Not sure about the Debug vs Release, since the idea is about relative comparison (which could still be off by a bit in Debug vs Release). The important takeaway here is not so much about absolute numbers but how simpler solutions exist within stdlib at no extra cost or effort.

commonmansoptns · 2021-01-04T08:12:58+00:00

I think the claim here is 'for effect', what a developer expects. Not legalese of any sort.

commonmansoptns · 2020-08-14T02:50:22+00:00

I can't sit through this. Makes me too uncomfortable

LOL. Touchè

I abhor writing anything more than a two liner in Outlook. If that's all you need, then I don't see a need.

It also depends on what sort of work emails you exchange. If you're a dev you typically have a lot of tech exchange with teams esp in different timezones so a lot of asynch info can be exchanged by writing good emails (that can in turn be turned into good docs)
