It's not bad at all https://github.com/lemire/Code-used-on-Daniel-Lemire-s-blog/...

A newline is missing in the example code. As given there's a segfault at line 5 not line 6.

However, the code at https://github.com/lemire/Code-used-on-Daniel-Lemire-s-blog/... shows it's indeed at line 6, because it has an extra newline after the '#include '.

Daniel Lemire's Blog : Daniel Lemire's blog

Dr. Daniel Lemire's blog: https://lemire.me/blog, covers lots of technical items on optimizations in various programming languages, Lemire's work is currently in use across a number of projects and he consistently delivers fantastic improvements, he usually accompanies these improvements with a blog post describing what he did. He also occasionally posts interesting Science and Technology links on various topics not limited to tech, but health and education as well.

Nope, simdjson is originally from Daniel Lemire who also often blogs about fancy low level optimizations: https://lemire.me/blog/ I'm just a happy user :)

Added this pull request with some interesting results.

There's a copy of the loop used on the escape function inside the avx512_escape function [0]. Is it needed or just a copy and paste mistake? (I know nothing about vector instructions)

The missing semester of your cs education

https://missing.csail.mit.edu/

You mentioned having issues with accessory concepts so perhaps this might help: https://missing.csail.mit.edu/. There's also a chapter on git

https://missing.csail.mit.edu/ is a good way to pass the Dec-Jan break if you want to prep for CS2030S + some more general stuff.

Reflecting a little bit more I don't think it was replit's fault, per-say. But that change should have been made together with a larger adjustment to the program. Like adding a class/unit in the style of [the missing semester](https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) to make sure people came away with a good range of intuitions.

From MJD's post: I think CS curricula should have a class that focuses specifically on these issues, on the matter of how do you actually write software?

But they never do.

FWIW, MIT's "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" attempts to deal with this lack, though, even there, it's an unofficial course taught between terms, during MIT's IAP -- Independent Activities Period[1] -- and not an actual CS course.

Link to the "missing semester of your CS degree" course by MIT.

Rightly called The Missing Semester (of Your CS Education), this class from MIT will teach you how to use some of the tools that are fundamental to the software engineering ecosystem. From shell scripting to the fundamentals of information security—spanning around 12 lectures—you can add a bunch of practical skills to your toolbox.
