I agree with your recommendation, but they do make small tripods.

NASA even has their own sound static analyzer for memory safety. If you use something like that, and depending on the context, there isn't even necessarily a memory safety advantage to using Rust over C or C++. https://githu

Speaking of paper computers, I recently discovered Nomographer on YouTube, who does a great job of explaining how to make them. https://youtube.com/channel/UCOLYtsL4ge6QfaAvBDeG1IA

Physical systems are probabilistic. Environmental conditions are probabilistic. And we've been trusting our safety to physical products operating in the real world for a long time. Whether physical or ML or whatever ... There's al

Valgrind is good but it's a dynamic tool, so it won't catch anything you don't exercise. There are better options, but there are usually some extra barriers to using them. By usability I also meant getting it to work for your

I agree that it will eventually become mission critical. Until then, they have some time to make the implementation interpretable.

I don't think the Intel/GE tool counts as mission critical. There are already radiologists reviewing scans. The tool just flags features they may have missed. Remove the tool, and you're back to business as usual. I don'

I think that's the idea. It looks like they cover all the required algorithms in class. The final exam tests if you can recognize which to apply even if you're not familiar with the specific problem.

It only says that to people who know enough about computers to assume that when something is called 32-bit, it's probably not also 64-bit. Your example should have been "it's the bread" to match the wording of the arti

The omission part of their definitions is the same, but they're not synonyms. The lie is intentional. The error is unintentional. If Win32 is partially a 32-bit API, what is factually wrong about what they said? For that part to be fac

When you intentionally say something misleading by omission but true, that's a lie of omission.

by OnlyOneCannolo 6y ago
That's what makes it an error of omission.

by OnlyOneCannolo 6y ago
Win32 refers to the 32-bit API and 64-bit API, so it's correct to call it a 32-bit API. The article never explicitly said that Win32 is exclusively 32-bit, so it omitted 64-bit.

I disagree with all 4 of your assumptions. Usually you're working on different types of problems. The technical dangers are different, the type of business logic you're implementing is different, and the types of new things you&#x

They're wrong because they didn't realize they left something out of a partially true statement. That's an error of omission.

by OnlyOneCannolo 6y ago
It's an error of omission in that Win32 also refers to the 64-bit versions. The Windows API includes but is not limited to Win32. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/

I agree. While I understand the practicality of Docker and facilitating development using it, I wouldn't call it "forward" progress. The fundamental problem, as you say, is that our dependency ecosystems don't meet our r

It's unfortunate that they haven't tested like this until almost a decade into the program. Testing so rarely makes it way too high stakes.

My guess for why there isn't a wire all the way through is that they already have a machine that attaches wires to the ends of resistors and they don't want to bother with another machine.
