The reason why the number of people who hate C++ today is significantly low is Java.

@mhsatman C++ is all fine, but too powerful for humans. Didn't the NASA opt out of C++ in favour of rust recently?

The fastest code is the one that does nothing

I know this sounds like a silly joke, but this is something that anyone writing code should keep in mind:

Often, the best way to make your code faster is to just skip work. If necessary, do a little bit of work to skip a LOT of work.

I got reminded of this recently: we've been working on optimizing our fire propagation PCA, and โ€ฆ

To give you an idea about the scale of the optimization, on my laptop we went from 6 to 560 steps per second.

@giuseppebilotta I completely agree with that statement! A 100x increase in efficiency is quite a feast. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I sadly have a personal beef with efficiency. Efficient code is usually super hard to read (because it is efficient). ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

A very nice Prof. who I met in Austria and GB has a PhD opening. Alidad is a cool guy and does know a lot about droplets, wetting and experiments. Here is the link to the opening: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7168972914745102336/

@beatnikprof This is often easier said than done. I remember that I had a hard time many math classes and instead of saying something stupid I'd better say nothing. ๐Ÿ˜…

@BoydStephenSmithJr Nice time! How is the weather where you live? Here in Denmark ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ the weather is so bad that I barely want to leave my flat. That said I got enough motivation to do a tempo session earlier this week and 30km/h tailwind makes 4:30min/km feel effortless

New paper day ๐ŸŽ‰

And now I can finally say:
I had a review that took two weeks and a review that took two years.

In December 2021 we submitted a paper to PRL and while one reviewer loved it, the other didn't like it. Sadly there was not much hope to win against the comment, "I don't see why I should be very excited about this result ... which is needed in my eyes for a publication in PRL".

After admitting defeat, we send it to Phys Rev Fluids and I'm super happy that Prof. Howard Stone accepted it right away without sending it to further reviewers.

In the paper we discuss the dewetting instability of a thin liquid film on a switchable substrate. We actually found a cool metastable rivulet state.

Here is the link to the publication: https://journals.aps.org/prfluids/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevFluids.8.L122001

I just completed "Trebuchet?!" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2023 https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/1

The first one is always the hardest in a new language ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

After two years in Denmark ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ I finally can relate to people saying: "For the longest time of the year it's just dark." There is not a lot ๐ŸŒž the last few days.
