How could a debugger make sense of "internal private state of objects in 3rd party code"? Only a portion of the stack frames of linked functions (input parameters coming from known code, maybe expected return values) has a presuma

Pixel counts generally represent areas by taking the number of pixels inside a region of the plane, but they can represent lengths by taking the number of pixels inside a certain extent of a single line or column of the grid: it is, actuall

You underestimate the social complexity of a simplified language. Everyone would disagree about the design (what is worth including because it is "simple" or necessary?), everyone would avoid using an handicapped language where fe

The shorter version that saves the else: line assigns primary_server twice: it is OK for an assignment but a potential problem if doing something less trivial, and very ugly style in any case.

And the question is even more complex: not whether producing dimethyl sulfide "from scratch" without involving living organisms of the familiar sort is possible (of course it is), but what the hypothesis that each of the numerous

Definitely. Not showing an immediate threat, such as a copy of the CVE database or a request for money, can be assumed to be the typical approach of a long con rather than a sign of goodwill.

As this is security, assume the worst: it isn't legit unless MITRE confirms a handover, and even in that case there's ample room for questioning.

There's the traditional criminal behaviour of CMake: setting a variable to a globbed set of files ONCE and obliviously caching the value ever after. A build system where it is possible cannot claim to be well designed.

Rules can be clumsy, and information has different purposes. Typically, the generic and concrete concerns of keeping related files together and under source control is a much better match for the use of meaningful file names and directories

Both at the same time. If you repeatedly migrate in order to maintain a foraging and hunting lifestyle, you are sufficiently aware of the undependability of foraging and hunting to make large R&D investments in experimental methods of

Low entropy in chess means effective prediction of future moves, which is far less useful than dedicating equivalent effort to choosing a good next move for ourselves.

So Intel found optimists who think they can make Altera more competitive? It's a success. Success with Intel products would be better, and excellence at M&A is hard to convert into excellence at chipmaking, but it's better tha

A NN that has been trained by someone else on unknown data with unknown objectives and contains unknown defects and backdoors can compute something fast, but why should it be trusted to do my image processing? Even if the NN is built in-
