Multiplication in C++ is left to right associative - e.g. y = a * b * c means y = (a * b) * c Note that although the mathematical operation of multiplication is associative, e.g. (a * b) * c = a * (b * c), the same is not true for floating point multiplication, due to intermediate rounding error. Therefore in default circumstances, the compiler may not optimise y = a * b * c to y = a * (b * c) as it may give dif....

I think it’s always a good idea each year to reflect on the events that happened during the year - it’s a great way to remember some of the great things that have happened, as well as put some of the not-so-great things that have happened in perspective. If you regularly post to social media (e.g. Facebook or Twitter), looking back on your posts are a great way to revisit the major events that took place during the year. Better yet, by summ..

Every morning I wake up to my cat Rigel wanting to play. He jumps around the bed and brings in his favorite toy ferret, purring and stepping on us until we either get up or put him outside. Then I get up and go to get a plastic bag from the kitchen before I do anything else. I go to Rigel’s jumbo sized litter box, followed by the cat who sits next to me and watches as I clean it. As soon as I’m done he steps inside and does his business. Me..

It’s been a long year for snailing. My simulation got a name, my snails got a brain, and a dev environment was deployed outside of my poor little MacBook Air that’s been chugging away like crazy with all the server and VM crap I’ve had to host on it.

When I met you in the summer, to my heart beats sound, we fell in love, as the leaves turned brown …. Summer - Calvin Harris I was relaxing and looking a tree whose leaves had become red-brown and this song came to my mind. I like it. I’ve heard it several times before, and repeated the main parts a few times internally. But then I was a bit bothered by the “as the leaves turned brown”. Why is it there? What good does it serv....

Should you run into errors related to missing php.h or other .h files, you should check out my post on fixing missing headers on macOS Mojave . These directions are for working with the native installation of PHP . Your results may vary if you are using a brew, MAMP or otherwise installed version of PHP - I do not recommend this for those cases. Important : As you are altering the built-in version of PHP, you will need to ensure you....

We love Amazon Web Services here at AdRoll. All of our production, test, and staging infrastructure runs on AWS. Really, the only systems we operate outside of EC2 are developers’ laptops. Most of the time this isn’t an issue, as we use platform-agnostic tools like Python, Java and Erlang. When it came to interacting with AWS APIs, though, we had a challenge: how do we manage sensitive AWS Keys across dozens of developer’s laptops and many ....

As you may have noticed, the site has changed its look. That’s because I made a small rewrite and it resulted in a new static site generator. It’s my another NIH product, this time it’s written in Go. stash away I used stash before. It was written in UNIX Shell and was really perfect for my needs. Then it became slower and slower. The reason is that it could not track the timestamps of the web pages so it regenerated every page every time.

One of the key attributes I look for when writing and reviewing code is that code should express the intent of the developer more than the mechanism used to achieve that intent. In other words, code should read as much as possible as if it were a description of the end goal to be achieved. The mechanism used to achieve that goal is secondary. Over the years, I’ve found this emphasis improves the quality of a system by making it easier to w....

Big update this week! My voxel renderer now has the capability to overlay everything with any texture I want. I'm using it on a new set of interconnected winter levels. This way I don't have to manually come up with a frosty version of each texture. Without giving away too much, this week I built a new system that has implications for both puzzle solving and movement mechanics.

Introduction I am asked quite a bit about when and when not to use pointers in Go. The problem most people have, is that they try to make this decision based on what they think the performance tradeoff will be. Hence the problem, don’t make coding decisions based on unfounded thoughts you may have about performance. Make coding decisions based on the code being idiomatic, simple, readable and reasonable.

Most large software projects include automated testing and the reasons are obvious. But what about smaller, even toy projects? There should be some extremely lightweight unit-testing frameworks/libraries that would easily fit even the smallest project needs. Unit testing should be easy to start. Otherwise people won’t bother with writing tests at all (unless they are forced to). People don’t like learning complex frameworks to run just a do..
