There are currently two major classes of GPU architectures: Immediate-Mode Rendering (IMR) and Tile-Based Rendering (TBR). The IMR architecture is older, somewhat simpler and more forgiving to inefficiently written applications, but it’s power hungry. Often found in desktop GPU cards, this architecture is known to provide high performance while consuming hundreds of watts of power. […]

News Ever since the dawn of humanity, we’ve had a fascination with discovery. For Neanderthals, it was fire, for people of the Renaissance it was electricity, and now it’s funny cat gifs and Easter eggs hidden deep within videos. Despite clocking in at just 1 minute and 18 seconds, the “Make it happen. With code. […]
In my previous post, we updated our TODO Detector to be more flexible. It is also easily extensible so that if we want to include more parameters or perhaps add more checks, we can follow the existing pattern and modify it. For example, what if instead of the date being in parentheses, we want a […]
Let me tell you a story about when I cut months of work off of a project. Part of Rheaply’s offerings is an inventory management platform. A major problem customers run into is data entry – name & description is not enough, we need colors and manufacturers, dimensions and weights, etc. Accurately filling in the […]
A few years ago, I wrote about writing a Lint rule to validate the format of TODO comments. Whilst I find that Lint is still difficult to grok, I have since learnt a little bit more that I feel a revisit of this rule is warranted. To recap, the rule enforces that all TODOs must […]
Being a perpetual RegEx n00b, one thing I keep on forgetting is that it is easy to get tripped up when extracting information from an input. I always forget that looking for a match does not really just give back just the matching values – they are instead contained in Groups. Matches and Groups and […]

Originally published on May 23, 2024 in fun code(). The programs I write frequently involve strings that identify things: emailaddresses, file paths, URLs, time zones… even credit card numbers and drivers’license numbers. For many years I followed the patterns of the Java standard library whencreating my own identifiers. I’ve grown to dislike these patterns! java.net.URL […]
The new strong skipping mode for controlling class stability in Jetpack Compose changes how to optimize recompositions in your app. In this blog post, we’ll cover what cases it solves for you and what needs to be manually controlled. We’ll also cover common questions you’ve had, such as whether remembering lambda functions is still needed, […]
