Episode 78: C++ Algorithms & Profiling with Ben Deane (Part 4)
In this episode, Bryce and Conor finish their conversation with Ben Deane about C++ Algorithms!TwitterADSP: The PodcastConor HoekstraBryce Adelstein LelbachAbout the Guest:For Ben Deane, C++ wasn’t even among the first 10 languages that he learned on his programming journey, but it’s been the one that has paid the bills for the last 20-odd years. He spent most of that time in the games industry; many of the games he worked on used to be fondly remembered but now he’s accepted that they are probably mostly forgotten. These days he works in the finance industry writing high-frequency trading platforms in the most modern C++ that compilers can support.In his spare time he watches a lot of YouTube’s educational sector, practices the Japanese art of tsundoku, reads about the history of programming, avoids doing DIY, and surprises his wife by waking in the middle of the night yelling, “of course, it’s a monad!” before going back to sleep and dreaming of algorithms.Show NotesDate Recorded: 2022-04-19Date Released: 2022-05-20ADSP Episode 72: C++ Algorithm Family Feud!ADSP Episode 75: C++ Algorithms with Ben Deane (Part 1)ADSP Episode 76: C++ Algorithms with Ben Deane (Part 2)ADSP Episode 77: C++ Algorithms with Ben Deane (Part 3)quick-bench.comTyler Weaver TweetWordleGuass’s Calendrical AlgorithmC++ std::sortC++ std::nth_elementC++ std::max_elementC++ std::reduceC++ std::transform reduceC++ std::accumulateGoogle BenchmarkThrust Parallel AlgorithmsBeautiful Folds (A tutorial on the universality and expressiveness of fold)McNugget NumbersIntro Song InfoMiss You by Sarah Jansen https://soundcloud.com/sarahjansenmusicCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/l-miss-youMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/iYYxnasvfx8

Episode 74: C++ Education, Cats and More! 🐈⬛
In this episode, Bryce and Conor interview Patrice Roy about C++ education, cats and more!TwitterADSP: The PodcastConor HoekstraBryce Adelstein LelbachAbout the Guest:Patrice Roy has been playing with C++, either professionally, for pleasure or (most of the time) both for over 30 years. After a few years doing R&D and working on military flight simulators, he moved on to academics and has been teaching computer science since 1998. Since 2005, he’s been involved more specifically in helping graduate students and professionals from the fields of real-time systems and game programming develop the skills they need to face today’s challenges. The rapid evolution of C++ in recent years has made his job even more enjoyable.He’s been a participating member in the ISO C++ Standards Committee since late 2014 and has been involved with the ISO Programming Language Vulnerabilities since late 2015. He has five kids, and his wife ensures their house is home to a continuously changing number of cats, dogs and other animals.Show NotesDate Recorded: 2022-04-14Date Released: 2022-04-22A Tour of C++ by Bjarne StroustrupProgramming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Bjarne StroustrupThe C++ Programming Language by Bjarne StroustrupPatrice Roy’s WebsiteZach Laine’s Text LibraryJelly Programming LanguageFORTRAN 77camomilla by Vittorio RomeoIntro Song InfoMiss You by Sarah Jansen https://soundcloud.com/sarahjansenmusicCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/l-miss-youMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/iYYxnasvfx8
