Superb

At what companies? I don’t think half of my team spends much time programming outside of work and they all still got hired

I really like this! This might solve my problem of noticing a chore needs to be done but being too busy to take care of it in the moment and immediately forgetting

Make things!

Whether you’re working on FOSS project or your own personal projects, building cool and diverse stuff that you’re passionate about is the best way to get experience quick.

Regarding your personal project, starting over is usually not a bad idea. Especially if your own skills have grown a bunch since starting. Make sure you keep old versions around for reference!

I’ve personally never gotten much out of freelancing or coding challenges. I think it depends on if you see CS more as a career or more as a passion (both of those are perfectly legitimate). I should also mention, a lot of professionals don’t do any programming outside of work. You don’t need to dedicate time outside of work to be good at this job.

The most important thing is to have fun and not to burn yourself out. Take care of your body and mind!

If it can automatically accelerate a program that has parallel data dependencies, that would also be a huge claim, but one that is at least theoretically possible.

You nailed it! That’s exactly what this is! Read through their README, and the paper attached. It’s very cool tech

Good thing they don’t claim that. Read the README, they make very nuanced and reasonable claims about their very impressive language

Who knew auditing could be so easy!

The problem isn’t lazy journalists, it’s copywriters and the fact they’re advertisement have been allowed to occupy the same space as articles

I have to purchase the standard, and I see no examples

Yeah the line can get pretty ambiguous. In general I try to use the device with the least complexity that still gets the job done

A router usually can do all that but it also does a whole lot more, like NAT, DHCP, etc. Sometimes you need a just a switch that understands VLANs and link aggregation

You should spend your time at work doing work and your time at home doing anything else. Some people really enjoying programming and building in their off time, some people don’t. Follow your interests :)

Why can’t it be both a condemnation of C++ AND an inevitable consequence of success? C++ was a success, but we’ve learned a lot and it’s time to move on

Was this whole comment AI generated?

I do have a gun aimed at your head, but I’m not gonna fire it

No, JavaScript was originally slapped together in 2 weeks at the last minute by one dude. It doesn’t take a team to put together a small interpreter

If it’s not exactly novel, how many comments do you really need?

An LLM is just gonna describe the code it sees. Good comments should include information and context that is not already in the source.

Useful comments should provide context or information not already available in the code. There is no LLM that can generate good comments from the source alone

This is seriously what’s missing from the software field. There is no rigor or responsibility
