As someone who has done some hand coding of AVX-512, I appreciate their willingness to take this on. Getting the input vectors setup correctly for the instructions can be a hassle, especially when the input dataset is not an even multiple of 64.

There is a reason it is called a scrum.

I literally make a new branch. clone, and use an external merge tool (beyond compare) when my branch has fallen too far behind. I don’t trust any of the automated processes.

We add the current year to the copyright dates, the current updates are protected from the time of authorship. So if the copyright says, 2012, 2014, 2022; I would add a 2024. The commit records can be used to determine what was changed each instance, but the update provides notice of when changes were made.

Discerning what is protectable creative expression versus functional and therfore unprotected is an issue for the courts.

The one thing that consistently gets caught in code reviews in my shop is a failure to update a copyright date. I have been tempted to submit clearly crap code just to see if anyone actually is paying attention.

Big Bosses later ask middle managers: “Why is turnover so high? Are you not fostering a fun environment?” The 40 % raise for job hopping is a real mystery.

I am using CentOS 9 in WSL. I don’t particularly care what distribution I use because I mostly using a bash shell as a software development environment. I prefer apt to flat packs and use ubuntu 20 on an embedded system that I write code for at work. I keep wanting to get more experience with KDE and gnome, but I haven’t been good about using my free time to mess with OS. As long as I have vim and a prompt that uses vi input, I am pretty content. (Does this make me sound old? The kids at work have trouble following what I am doing when we pair program.)

Vscode is my favorite. Now there is a sentence I never expected to type.

I just like usleep better than nanosleep.

I am going to buy a subscription for a little while just so I can ask it to code Roko’s Basilisk for me.
