On this team was someone we’ll call Bob, who was fresh out of grad school and hadn’t had much experience with software engineering, and no experience with SQL. As part of this data pipeline, Bob had to combine the data from two tables. JOIN…
Commit messages matter. Here's how to write them well.
From the highly eclectic blog of Mark Dominus
Six matrix factorizations dominate in numerical linear algebra and matrix analysis: for most purposes one of them is sufficient for the task at hand. We summarize them here. For each factorization …
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
TL;DR: OpenSCAD users: download a nightly build & enable fast-csg in settings for 10x faster render (YMMV). Make your models more ambitious and report is...
Wrong estimates aren’t your fault, but they are definitely your problem
In my never ending quest to have oksh support every C compiler in existence, I have ported two more C compilers to OpenBSD . They are chibicc and kefir. As always, let's review them and at the end I'll have links to unofficial ports so that you can play around with these C compilers.
