This article is for writing a cover letter but I think many points made in the article are applicable to other types of document such as a grant application.

C++11 is out.

posted 12 Oct 2011 23:23 by Masahiro Takatsuka

Official language spec for C++ (C++11) is out.  Had a glance of it, and looks like it kept the compatibility with C++98 and C++03 but have better support for parallel programming, generic programming, functional programming, etc.

I will organise a weekly reading group to study the new spec.

Where to put figure/table caption.

posted 19 Sep 2011 23:11 by Masahiro Takatsuka

I cannot recall the exact source of the information, but I remember that I was taught to put a figure caption at the bottom of a figure while put a table caption at the top of a table. 

The reason for this arrangement in scientific/engineering article is :

1) a table is usually read from top to bottom, while
2) a figure is usually read from bottom to top.

Hence having a caption just before your eyes start scan a figure or a table would help reading them.


very good site to test JavaScript performance

Found jsPerf.com, which allows you to test various JavaScripts for their performance on different JavaScript platform.

Since we don't have JavaScript compiler to optimise the code, it's very useful to decide what sort of optimisation I should do at the coding level.


js2.el for javascript mode in Emacs

posted 9 Sep 2011 19:23 by Masahiro Takatsuka

looks like js2-mode is popular for editing javascript codes in Emacs

You can download it from here.

I could not byte-compile it in emacs, so I had to do it at the command-line as:

> emacs --batch --eval '(byte-compile-file "js2.el")'
