Some possible implementations of the Bresenham Algorithms in C.

The Bresenham line algorithm is an algorithm which determines which points in an
n-dimensional raster should be plotted in order to form a close approximation
to a straight line between two given points.
It is commonly used to draw lines on a computer screen, as it uses only integer
addition, subtraction and bit shifting, all of which are very cheap operations
in standard computer architectures.
It is one of the earliest algorithms developed in the field of computer graphics.
A minor extension to the original algorithm also deals with drawing circles.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

This re-styles your sublime text 2 sidebar to be darker, so it doesn't blind you when using a dark theme.

Save the Default.sublime-theme file into packages/Theme - Default, make a backup of your original if you want to be able to go back easily.

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a
