Debug Mode

Debug mode is important. It’s the performance you get when you’re developing and debugging after all.

/usr/bin/clang++ [/usr/bin/clang++, -std=c++14, -g, -isystem, /Users/nicolas/code/third-party/SGI-STL/modules/EASTL/include, /Users/nicolas/code/third-party/SGI-STL/tests/test_vector.cpp, -o, /Users/nicolas/code/third-party/SGI-STL/test_vector]

When you’re teaching undergrads, they’re not generating litterature. Most of them are coming from a highschool experience where they’re taught a model of writing that is fundamentally expressive.

That is, we want you to write therefore anything you do is good. This is good because you did it.

The Freedom To Be Crummy

So I write the first draft long hand, The second draft I rewrite long-hand on a clipboard, then I type it once, then I retype it then it sits for at least a week or two and I redo it, I type it again. And not “computer” re-typing, but starting all the way at the beginning as a hard copy. Why you ask? Good question.

Some notes about art and creation.

1. It is helpful to distinguish between the author-creator, the author-public-figure and the author-critic.
2. One commonly made mistake is to consider the author-creator knows what kind of statement their creations make.
3. There isn’t one and only one value to a creation.
4. It is fallacious to factor out the technological and social context of a creation, both for the author and the spectator.
5. It is interesting to find out who makes and enforces the rules that make an author’s recognition possible.
6. A creation is a window into human nature.
7. One helpful axis to analyze discipline is how abstracted they are from the pure gesture of creation.
8. One purpose of craft is to impose on us the illusion that the artificial is real.

One is young or old depending on how one confronts change.

The old feels frustration. The young accepts change and takes profit of it.

Young is one who find home in the foreign. Those who grasp their old sweet routine for comfort, those who can’t accept disorientation are from another era.

period not frequency

how many?

• simple integer arithmetic (add/sub/shift)
• complex integer arithmetic (mul/div/mod)
• float arithmetic (add/mul/div)
• file open/write/close
• memory location visited (contiguous, pointer chasing)
• pixels drawn
