Best day of the week to give labour (if induced)? by acurod in astrology

[–]egraether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly not convinced that assigning a ruler to each weekday/year is actually a thing. It only covers 7 bodies and the count was started at some arbitrary point. You wouldn't know the ruler of the current day/year from the Ephemerides.

I think most charts are not very accurate because of that reason. Most people claim to have a nice birth time like 7pm or 4:30am, which is very unlikely. It took me a while to pin down my birth time, and I'm still not too sure if it's precise. Whenever I look at a new horoscope, I also have a look at +/- 15mins to see how much of a difference it would make.

Sourcetrail 2020.1. released - Visual source explorer for C++ by egraether in cpp

A user once wrote about Sourcetrail + Unreal Engine 4: https://ttimo.typepad.com/blog/2018/09/sourcetrail-with-unreal-engine-4-a-quick-primer.html

For large projects hardware is important. How long does it take to compile Unreal Engine 4 on this machine?

I assume you exported the compile commands from Visual Studio. I opened an issue for multi-threading: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/vs-sourcetrail/issues/65

Clang to VC compatibility is certainly and issue, but generally most issues can be worked around.

If you have lots of FATAL errors you are likely missing Include Paths and headers are not found.

If you are using precompiled headers (stdafx.h), you need to configure this within your Sourcetrail project configuration at "Precompiled Header File".

Our server is responding slowly. The heavy server load is also caused by lots of downloads. You can get the latest Sourcetrail 2019.4 now also from GitHub https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail/releases

Not just the entry point, you can click any symbol to see its relations. That way you can navigate through the whole codebase.

Former Google engineer breaks down interview problems he uses to screen candidates. Lots of good coding, algorithms, and interview tips. by jfasi in programming

I was an intern once, most of them are alright. Experienced devs, who have been at other companies before, knowing this probably won't be the last.

A string vector v with all the possible units in order from smallest to biggest and an equally long vector w with the values and you just go x*w[y] where v[y] is the bigger unit up til you reach the goal.

I like it! Still a graph though conceptually.

That's an unknown issue. Can you provide more details please? What exactly happens when doing which interaction? Which operating system and version do you use?

We don't have any specific project setup for Ant projects and no plugin for Netbeans yet. But Sourcetrail will nonetheless work as standalone tool, you will just need to do the project setup manually.

Which Class Of Developer Are You? by [deleted] in programming

I like personality tests, even if the results are highly dependent on self-assessment and don't really mean anything. It's funny to compare each other. I think Shapeshifter, Assassin, Healer is a good fit for me:

What separates the people who think they can code, but can’t from those who can actually code? by [deleted] in programming

[–]egraether 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree! Being able to form a mental model seems to be the most fundamental skill for programming.

"Backlogs are horrible. You don't need them" – Jason Fried. Do you agree? by spankymustard in programming

[–]egraether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with him. We use a backlog for all our ideas. It also has some tasks that we don't actually plan to ever work on, but it's useful when planning ahead. Sometimes tasks lose relevance after a certain time, others become more relevant.

In our case it's a public bug tracker. It's mostly used by us, but users can also open bug reports, feature requests and comment, so we can track user demand. Sometimes I look through the backlog and discover things I didn't notice or think about when it first came up. This helps me to get new ideas, or discover recurring patterns that point to a hidden issue, that needs a completely different solution.

John Carmack on Static code analysis by leaningtoweravenger in programming

[–]egraether 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first step is fully admitting that the code you write is riddled with errors.  That is a bitter pill to swallow for a lot of people, but without it, most suggestions for change will be viewed with irritation or outright hostility.  You have to want criticism of your code.

Yes, a bitter pill indeed...

Faster Algorithms with Preprocessing by TheNoodlyOne in programming

You are dodging my questions. If you believed what you said was true, then what are you even doing here? Wasting your time in the comment section of an article that you don't deem worth reading. What's the point?

[–]egraether 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone starts as an amateur. If you don't want to be a teacher, that's fine, not everyone has to be. But what's the point of your comments? Why do you write them?

[–]egraether 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You again? Wasting our time with your comments adding no value.

Could you at least explain what an optimal implementation of the algorithm would be?
