False | stronghup | t2_3mx3u | I find it funny how looks of an IDE are important for programmers too. I agree they are important, for me as well. But I wonder why. What should really matter is the FUNCTIONALITY of the IDE not how beautiful its fonts look.
Somehow I feel more satisfaction from the code I write when it is also rendered beautifully, with beautiful fonts. But of course that has very little to do with how many bugs there are in it, how many bugs the IDE helps me find.

False | jephthai | t2_591d | I believe it was something like, "Scan a password file and print a listing of usernames for each UID." It was an infosec job, and imagine that they're looking to see if some hacker changed a UID to be the same as root, or something.

awk -F: '{x[$3] = x[$3] " " $1} END { for(i in x) print(i ":" x[i]) }' < passwd
The company does a lot of source code analysis for finding vulnerabilities, so I suspect most of their interviewees would write something up in C. At least, every "look at this code and tell me what's wrong with it" question was C code, so there was some bias in the interview.

This is one *major* reason I'd recommend looking at Ada for any concurrent/parallel program of non-trivial complexity: the `Task` construct makes it easy and natural to decompose parallel-processes across their logical boundaries. -- Yes, that is a rather coarse-grained level, but for many things it's more than enough... and if you really need fine-grained parallelism, the Ada 2020 standard has `parallel` blocks & loops to do so.

if (denominator == 0) {
throw new ArithmeticException();
} else {
return safe_divide(numerator, denominator);
}
... and a code coverage tool could treat it as such.

False | deliciouspuppy | t2_tm7ro | okay so it may be that your construction is 'faster' than running repeated dijkstra, which like you said is v2logv, and yours i guess could be construed to be linear. but if we were to draw out the runtime, mine would look like v2logv, but yours would look like 1000000 * (v + e), since the physical act of having to tape strings to balls is costly from a time perspective.
as far as the memory, your device requires a lot of physical space, which can be considered an analog for memory. after all the memory i use has a physical size, and your device has a physical size.
it's difficult to compare an algo running on a computer and a physical contraption, but my point i guess is that you can still try and find analogs to compare them as much as you can (both my algo and your device require time to construct the initial solver which need to be accounted for, once constructed can return the answer in constant time, and my device requires v2 memory while yours requires the physical space needed for v balls and e strings).
it's useful to compare because let's say you have a real problem (not a toy example like this, since you know and i know that even if my solver has a higher runtime than yours, a computer can process this in nano seconds while you making your device will take minutes if not more), that can be solved with making a real physical object or with a computer algorithm. only by comparing them can you make an informed decision on which path may or may not be better.

False | Dean_Roddey | t2_r72lw | OK, yeh, if you are willing to use one execution unit I can see that. I was sort of assuming that the kernels were fairly limited in size and you'd have to keep pushing up new ones to continue the process. How complex a kernel can you use with CUDA?
BTW, when I said next step though I meant the output of the previous round becomes the input to the next one, not the next step in the algorithm. That's what makes so many operations impossible to process in parallel. Does CUDA allow a kernel to independently feed its output back to its input, or does that have to be driven by the host via some sort of buffer swapping thing or something?
As a practical matter is one of these small EUs going to have enough performance that it would ever be a win to do that relative to just doing it on the CPU?

False | ais523 | t2_4xvam | Right, that looks like the sort of thing that awk is very good at (and C is very bad at!).
It translates fairly simply into Perl, another language designed for this sort of task:
perl -alF: -e 'push @{$x{$F[2]}}, $F[0]; END { for $i (keys %x) {print "$i: @{$x{$i}}";} }' /etc/passwd
Of course, if you really wanted to blow your interviewer's mind, you could use a golfing/competition language such as [Jelly](https://github.com/DennisMitchell/jellylanguage) (note: not recommended for an actual interview):
jelly eun 'Ỵṣ€”:[3,1]ịⱮṢµZḢV€IkµḢ€Ḣ;“: ”;Kµ€Y' "$(< /etc/passwd)"
This actually isn't a particularly good language choice, but it's such a generally terse language it can write it in a few characters anyway. (It also took much longer to write than the Perl did; that isn't always the case with competition languages, which are often designed to write quickly, but Jelly doesn't have any sort of dictionary in its standard library; much of this solution is an implementation of one.)
EDIT: **Please don't use the Jelly code in production.** There's a string `eval` in there running on untrusted data (this is the easiest and intended way to do string→int conversion in Jelly, because the language in general doesn't expect to come into contact with untrusted data anywhere, but obviously you'd have to verify that the string was made entirely of digits before you made the conversion in a production program). | null | 0 | 1544676799 | 1547059349 | 0 | eboik7c | t3_a5i57x | null | null | t1_eboc3ne | /r/programming/comments/a5i57x/the_rise_of_microsoft_visual_studio_code/eboik7c/ | 1547543005 | 4 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

> Dijkstra’s n-least-paths algorithm; cycle detection in directed graphs (with implications for 3-SAT solvers);
I don't think I ever needed to solve Dijkstra's n-least-paths algorithm on my laptop. (I mean, at scale. Perhaps games I was playing were solving it, but they were coping with it just fine.)
What I needed, however, is to build a project. And, guess what, build task is parallelizable. And not in theory, but in practice -- when I click _Build_, all 4 hyperthreads of my CPU are occupied.
I also happen to have a need to run tests which simulate multiple processes, and thus can benefit from multiple hardware threads.
Also, if you happen to use JVM, you might benefit from multiple cores even when your program is serial -- JVM will do JIT compilation and GC in a separate threads.
Also, as a developer, sometimes I simply launch several tasks in parallel -- say, rebuild front-end and back-end (which are implemented in different languages) at the same time.
> For most desktop/laptop users the only seriously parallel computing that ever takes place on their computers is in their graphics chips.
Do these users have a need to run Dijkstra's n-least-path algorithm for huge graphs? Chances are they are mostly use their computer to browse internets, no?
Speaking of which, browsing internets is actually a parallelizable task -- JS can also, at least potentially, run JIT and GC in separate threads, there might be many JS contexts on a page (iframes, web workers), CSS computation and rendering can be parallelized. So there could be easily enough work to occupy 10 threads when you loading a page. On top of that, we have things like video playback. And users often have multiple tabs which often update in background.
Then again, people who buy expensive CPUs probably do more than just web browsing.
They might be into gaming -- and games can utilize multiple cores for things other than graphics. A game might need to compute physics, animation, do visibility checks, do networking, AI and so on. All these things can be run in parallel.
Or they might be into video editing -- and video manipulation is very parallelizable.
Or they might do photo editing -- and graphics is often very parallelizable.
So nobody needs multi-core CPUs. Except software developers. And people who play modern games. And people who do graphics and video editing. And people who work with visualizations. And people using CAD software...
> But the truth is, we don’t really know what the “right” language primitives are for parallelism
This is the only thing in article I agree with. What I want is a language which is able to run things in parallel automatically -- a normal program already has information about data dependencies and IO which needs to be serial. And that's actually possible, and in fact, there were few research languages which worked like that. | null | 0 | 1545980963 | 1545992204 | 0 | ecpqjxv | t3_aa3ojc | null | null | t3_aa3ojc | /r/programming/comments/aa3ojc/pessimism_about_parallelism_are_more_that_two/ecpqjxv/ | 1548169951 | 16 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | grauenwolf | t2_570j | You're missing the most common exception in SQL Server, deadlock.
Which brings up a larger question of retriable vs non-retriable exceptions. If someone gets a network or deadlock exception, usually the correct action is to retry (within reason, you eventually have to give up) because the error is transitory.
