This is out now: "What Every Developer Should Know About GPU Computing"
https://t.co/9xQibwqEoG

It took longer than anticipated but good things usually do take time. Big thanks to @msharmavikram for reviews and suggestions, his feedback added another level of depth.

GPUs are a very different beast, and as an outsider you will encounter a ton of new terms and concepts you have never heard about. This article won't make you an expert because for that you need to read a whole book or take a course on this topic. However, if you wanted to learn how do GPUs work and what distinguishes them from CPUs, then this article is for you.

Here's what you will learn:
- A high level comparison between CPU and GPU architectures
- A deeper look at the GPU compute and memory architecture
- How a kernel executes on the GPU
- Dynamic resource partitioning and Occupancy

I hope you enjoy it. I will try to share a summary here later.

Ranching impacts everyone—from the #rancher to the consumer. It impacts the water you drink, the food you eat, the air you breathe, and the #soil beneath your feet. That’s why every single acre matters.

So, tell us about your ranch, why does your acre matter?

@NicolasPapegaey Awesome! Let me know if you’ve got a use case I didn’t cover. 👍🏻

Over the past two years I've released more than 20 apps and projects. 10 have been featured on the App Store, one was nominated for an Apple Design award and one was App of the Month in China.

I made all of these apps with my 2-2-2 method, and today I'm launching a course! 1/4

I state “my version” of how I understand the topic back to it and ask, “Is that accurate?”

Pretty cool way to check your understanding (assuming the information it gave in the first place was accurate 😂)

[Andrew Bancroft @andrewcbancroft]

Here’s an interesting use case for #chatgpt. I have it explain something to me as if I’m a kindergartner. The examples are often pretty useful! But then I go one step further…

[Aaron Kulbe @pdxmisfit]

REALLY appreciate @shanselman's continued encouragement to the dev community 🙏🏻

I just figured something out that I've been banging my head on for ~2yrs

I've been in tech for a LONG time. It happens to us too, folks

This is a great read (or RE-read!!): https://t.co/hlGnEXI7LS

Looking for a quick tip to improve your Swift code? 🤨

If you need to combine several `if` statements together, nesting them might not be the best choice!

Instead you can use the operator `,` to combine the conditions into a single `if` statement 👌

@LegendsofTyria @GuildWars2 Loved Episode 1!

I bought GW2 at launch but life at the time was hectic! Y’all sold me on redownloading the game. 😃

I was curious about which world y’all joined (if you’re ok sharing - no worries if not).

I’m subscribed to the podcast and looking forward to more. Great work!

[Doken Edgar @doken_edgar]

Thank you for the free week of learning @pluralsight. I was able to kickstart learning native iOS development with SwiftUI using @andrewcbancroft’s great introductory course. Now onto solidifying what has been learnt and improving on it. Thanks once again.

@futuredayv @pluralsight @allardice What a joy to read this morning - thank you, Furkan!
