Don’t argue with him. He is just and old man doing what all old man do: find excuses to not learn new stuff and convince himself that he didn’t have to do it

Serious and trustworthy research is done on peer reviewed journals, not websites where everyone can post whatever he/she wants

What make people happy are not experience per se, but the validation they get by posting them on instagram. It’s the same thing: in the 50s people uses to buy a new car or a new refrigerator to impress the neighbor and today they post their travel to Machu Picchu or Dubai to impress their followers

This talk is what convinced me to move to Rust definitely. The audience is the perfect representation of the C++ community.

New comment by vpastore in "Constraint Programming (2020)"

vpastore — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 08:45:15 +0000

In milps you can have an objective function to minimize/maximize and continuous variables. The techniques used are based on the characteristics of the mathematical space of the possible solution and methods to reduce the size of space that you have to look into. The solution of milp solver are provably optimal. CP allows for constrains that are difficult to model and/or solve in milps (or even mip). There is some overlap between the two. For example, presolving in milp is basically a generalization of constraint programming.
