Thanks for posting something interesting without uttering LLM, AI, agents, etc. I thought you're going to explain your experience doing it in CMake but then it's true to the title.
It's promising and I'm glad to hear such a depth-oriented study of making things, taking time is still a thing in a fast world. People are paying to study this, nice
Here's my created list I maintain: https://legends2k.github.io/note/cg_resources/
Do learn if it piques your curiosity and have the time. You're in for a blast and a lot of learning, that'll make you a better engineer, in many other fields of computer science too (you understand hardware, system programming, programmer's machine model, etc.).
Don't learn if you do it with a monetary end goal as it's fleeting, ephemeral and not guaranteed in this day and age.
Yes, every user just gets a handle with no personal or bank info revealed and off you go. User keys in a UPI ID in any merchant site/app, get a push notification for approval in mobile app. Can associate multiple bank accounts to a UPI ID underneath. Approval will ask which account to debit from too. Can't get simpler than this.
This is exactly what India's UPI (Unified Payments Interface) works. No PII, just a UPI ID is given and the user gets a push notification in Android/iOS app for approval (with PIN or security enclave like fingerprint).
By the same token, AI came along and we all still have intelligence, needless, eh? I mean people reading and writing stuff has nothing to do with AI. I don't see how some people see everything as a zero-sum game.
I'm not sure I understand this. Most puzzles are number-crunching but very little to do with graphics (maybe one or two), so no usually OpenGL isn't used AFAIK.
Of course, folks may use it to visualise the puzzles but not to solve them.
Sorry, hard disagree. Try to understand what `this` means in JS in its entirety and you'll agree it's by no stretch of the imagination a simple language. It's more mind-bending and hence _The Good Parts_.
My comment didn't convey it, but I'm with you on using the right tool for the right job. Just that I always don't have the luxury to do so. And yes like the other comment I'd use it for throw away scripts and glue code, instead of installing a new toolchain. Longevity and importance should warrant doing it. Cheers!
While there are other parameters I would consider like maintainability, ergonomics, mind share, ease of deployment, etc. The ubiquitous availability point triumphs most others though. Installation of new toolchain is usually a hassle when the same task can be done with existing tools. Also when I present it in a company setting installing new software and broadening the security attack surface is the first pushback I get.
Even games, epitome of performance, have 5 levels of abstraction (including your 4, 5, 6 + an engine layer + game code). This isn't new in GPU/Graphics programming IMHO.
I discovered notes from the man pages around 2020 but didn't use them as it was primarily a local repo feature. By default they don't get pushed or fetched. If course, one can configure it such that it's pushed and fetched, but that's a team decision and mine didn't vote for it.
Why not Python? I primarily program in C++ but I see it as a decent choice as Python is available in almost all recent machines. Of course Windows is a notable exception but given it's a tool for developers I guess Python should be present.
This! Also my guess would be Kernighan or Pike aren't (weren't?) deployed into some random codebase every now and then, while most grugs are. When you build something from scratch then you can get by without debuggers, sure, but foreign codebase, a stupid grug like I can do much better with tools.
I thought FFmpeg is pipeline based too; graph of filters. Am I missing something? You can set up a complex graph of source, sink and transform filters.
Exercism.io does what you want? It has language tracks and each track has questions geared to seal your understanding of some language concept. It also has it gamified by building a community around it and folks comparing their solutions.
