Hey-yo, let's go It's a bird! It's a plane! It's another issue! ==================================================================== The bit-twiddling magic of two's complement, explained Published: 14 December 2021 Tags: math I had to slog through learning binary mathematical operations for my electrical engineering degree, and now you can too! Kevin Galligan does a great job of explaining how two's compliment works and why it's relevant to programming. ==================================================================== Circuit Scaling for Analog Computing Published: 14 December 2021 Tags: hardware "A differential equation-solving analog device is a reconfigurable computing platform that leverages the physics of the underlying substrate to implement dynamical system computations". Sara Achour's extensive article goes into the details on behavior of such a device and its functionality. ==================================================================== T* makes for a poor optional<T&> Published: 13 December 2021 Tags: cpp In this informative article, Barry Revzin explains the nuances of why T* and why have the optional meta function would make it easier for programmers to write algorithms.
