A friend recently learned about Proebsting’s law and mentioned it to me off hand. If you aren’t aware, Proebsting’s law states: Compiler Advances Double Computing Power Every 18 Years Which is to say, if you upgrade your compiler every 18 years, you would expect on average your code to double in performance on the same hardware. This is in sharp contrast to Moore’s law, and suggests that we should be cautious about the performance gains that compiler evolution brings. Proebsting writes: Perhaps this means Programming Language Research should be concentrating on something other than...

Almost Always Unsigned # Written by Dale Weiler Twitter GitHub Last updated Saturday, January 1, 2022 The need for signed integer arithmetic is often misplaced as most integers never represent negative values within a program. The indexing of arrays and iteration count of a loop reflects this concept as well. There should be a propensity to use unsigned integers more often than signed, yet despite this, most code incorrectly choses to use signed integers almost exclusively.
