Some Computerphile videos starring Professor Brian Kernighan

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/06

Most you probably know [WayBack] Professor Brian Kernighan or the YouTube channel Computerphile (sister channel of Numberphile).

He stars in about half a dozen of their videos giving a nice insight in his contributions to the field and how well he can explain things.

Full videos are below; these are the titles:

BTW: If you like those youtube channels, check out [WayBack] Brady Haran – Video Journalist who produces similar channels as well.

Not just C++: Thoughts on Dealing with Signed/Unsigned Mismatch – IT Hare on Soft.ware

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/10/02

[WayBack] C++: Thoughts on Dealing with Signed/Unsigned Mismatch – IT Hare on Soft.ware.

I have seen things like this happen in way to many places, not just C/C++:

static_assert( -1 < 1U );//fails!

Take away:

Never ever use explicit casts merely to get rid of warnings (whether signed/unsigned or otherwise)

A way to set various C/C++ compilers apart: [WayBack] GitHub – shafik/determine_c_or_cpp: Determine programatically C from C++ as well as various versions

LAUNCHED https://uberpdf.org/

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/01

It is a lot (~300 megabyte compressed download!), but worth it.

Here are the links:

And the quote from [WayBack] LAUNCHED https://uberpdf.org/ … – Joe C. Hecht – Google+

LAUNCHED https://uberpdf.org/

…

337 MB of source and utils in 2,308 Files, 910 Folders before you build (not counting 3rd party source UberBuild downloads).

It’s a start, with much to come.It will get easier now that UberBuild is clean.

I will be updating the docs and website in the next few days.

Special thanks …

I already see room for improvement (such as a setup screen for extra compilers such as Delphi and Free Pascal to keep folks out of shell scripts and from hunting for help in the documentation).
