If you like chess puzzles: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/jwtc.android.chess/

It’s a full-featured chess app, but what’s nice about it is that it’s also got a large amount of short chess puzzles that are available offline (unlike lichess).

You can for example restyle old.reddit.com so that it renders nicely on mobile if you don’t want to install an app for that: https://github.com/OctoNezd/oldlander (see the Tampermonkey section)

Great advice! Cross-posted to [email protected] if you don’t mind: https://lemmy.world/post/8842817

Hollow Knight if you’ve never played it, it’s 50% off right now.

I was learning C/C++ back then and although the nostalgia is strong with this one, Turbo C++ was obviously shit (and Borland quickly killed it later anyway), and while looking around for alternatives I found DJGPP which introduced me to the GNU toolchain and so the jump to Linux to have all of that natively instead of running on DOS was very natural. My very first distro was Redhat Linux 6.2 that I got as a free CD along with a magazine (also got a Corel Linux CD the same way that I was excited about given how their WordPerfect was all the rage back then but I was never able to install it, I don’t remember what the issue was) and it looked like this (screenshot from https://everythinglinux.org/redhat62/index.html ):

Looks like the bot’s Google Translate link doesn’t work. If you have Firefox, you can open the original link in German (https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/wissen/biontech-krebs-forschung-impfstoff-100.html ) and then use the offline translation that’s available in recent Firefox versions, it’s fast and pretty accurate.

I’m not sure what’s new though, as they’ve already stated that goal last year: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/oct/16/vaccines-to-treat-cancer-possible-by-2030-say-biontech-founders

Roughly one year. No GPU code however for that project as the target library is CPU-only anyway so not really comparable to PyTorch (and PyTorch is more than just the autodiff), but there was lots of SIMD vectorization. Yeah you could train a neural network on CPU with it if you want, and the expression template stuff I talked about would be somewhat equivalent to PyTorch’s operator fusion, but the target use is more quant finance code.

Automatic differentiation in C++17, had to do it from scratch as they weren’t open to 3rd-party libraries and it had to integrate with many symbolic calculations that are also done in the library (so even if you used a 3rd-party library you’d still have to rewrite parts of it to deal with the symbolic stuff). Succeeded in doing it and basically the performance was on par with what people in the industry would expect (all derivatives at once in around 3 times the evaluation time, sometimes much less if the calculation code has no dynamic parts and is differentiated entirely at compile-time).

It was pretty cool because it was a fun opportunity to really abuse template meta-programming and especially expression templates (you’re basically sort of building expression trees at compile-time), compile-time lazy evaluation, static polymorphism and lots of SFINAE dark magic and play around with custom memory allocators.

Then you get scolded by the CI guys because your template nightmare makes the build times 3x slower, so the project then also becomes an occasion to try out a bunch of tricks to speed up compilation.

Ubuntu used to ship free CDs too: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ubuntu_10.04_CDs.jpg

They stopped doing that in 2011.

it’s actually the opposite, MikuChan03 was created one month after this: https://github.com/Xerasin/GCinemaCraftDownloader/issues/1

For that one no, but another (same person?) parody account does at least report real bugs: https://github.com/mpaland/printf/issues/15

wakarimashita 😔

agree that the name is silly, it apparently also broke the tl;dr bot below

The French used to count in base 20 (so that means both hands and both feet), which is why they read 97 as quatre-vingt-dix-sept, ie 4*20+10+7.

Yeah, but I still think if (false) is silly because it adds an artificial constraint which is to make sure the disabled parts always compile even when you’re not using them. The equivalent of that would be having to check that all the revisions of a single source file compile against your current codebase.

A simple if (false) will get optimized out by any modern C or C++ compiler with optimizations on, but the problem is that the compiler will still parse and spend time on what’s inside the if-block and it has to be legal code, whereas with the #if 0 trick the whole thing gets yeeted away by the preprocessor before even the compiler gets to look at it regardless of whether that block contains errors or not, it’s literally just a string manipulation.

correct, but will come up if OP chooses to study measure-theoretic probability theory

neither an understatement nor an overstatement, a Big-Theta

wait until you learn about sigma-algebras in measure theory
