The Workbench is a personal blog at mainroach.blogspot.com about programming and games. Since 2009, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 11 times. The last post was in 2017, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link The Workbench's post comparing GPGPU with multi-core CPUs, cited in a thread on using GPUs for options analysis on Wall Street.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
