Sutter's Mill

I’m seeing many younger programmers picking up C++. The average age at C++ events over the past year has been declining rapidly as the audience sizes grow with more and younger people in addition to the C++ veterans. How young were you when you wrote your first program? This kid seems pretty exceptional. Welcome, Wasik!

An assertion documents the expected state of specific program variables at the point where the assertion is written, in a testable way so that we can find program bugs — logic errors that have led to corrupted program state. Assertions are only about finding bugs, not doing program work. Bonus: [[assert: ?

2] So it makes perfect sense that if Examples 1(a) and 1(b) appear in the same source file, the developer will want to enable checking for 1(b)’s assertion only by some kind of manual override to explicitly request it, and enable checking for 1(a)’s assertion all the time. to distinguish safety-related checks vs. other checks).

This can be changed later using the pg_checksums utility, but that will be a painful exercise on a big database. psql "host=localhost user=postgres options='-c synchronous_commit=off'" psql (14.8) Object-level settings PostgreSQL allows us to specify the parameter specific to a program block, like a PL/pgSQL function.

Humans are biologically programmed to mistrust anything that deviates from the status quo. Product Modeling: Carve out all the pieces that constitute a product’s development across specific toolchains and organizational structure. Speak to us about a Value Stream Architecture exercise and begin visualizing the flow of value today.

This ruling in itself raises many questions: how much creativity is needed, and is that the same kind of creativity that an artist exercises with a paintbrush? In the year or so since ChatGPT’s release, developers have been building applications on top of the state-of-the-art foundation models. But that isn’t the end of the story.

On the last morning of the conference Daniel Bittman presented some of the work being done in the context of the Twizzler OS project to explore new programming models for NVM. The starting point is a set of three asumptions for an NVM-based programming model: Compared to traditional persistent media, NVM is fast. What about security?

At the lowest level, all computers are programmed with strings of ones and zeroes. When you program in machine language, you are controlling the computer at its brainstem, the root of its existence. So a whole Babel of computer languages has been created for programmers: FORTRAN, BASIC, COBOL, LISP, Pascal, C, PROLOG, FORTH.

There was no deep goal — just a desire to see the maximum GFLOPS in action. The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. After this, the micro-ops will wait in the Reorder Buffer until they can be retired in program order. Instead, we found puzzle after puzzle.

We believe that making these GPU resources available for everyone to use at low cost will drive new innovation in the application of highly parallel programming models. General Purpose GPU programming. But with the third generation interfaces, the true power of General Purpose GPU programming was unlocked. From CPU to GPU.
