Great article, well written, and good analogy to chess. I’ve been playing competitive chess most of my adult life and I think that the solution lies in how chess dealt with this problem: Explicit ELO measurements with some cheating detectio

This looks very useful for Mac setup! I just wish there were a Linux option. Like in the example config doc, I have a dotfiles repo in Github. It includes some basic settings for vim and tmux that I like to install on servers such as jump h

Please forgive the clickbait title. My team and I have been using every AI tool under the sun but have found them making the same mistakes on our codebase and I thought I would sit down and distill my thoughts. It turned into a bit of a ran

I’d like to add to the reasons for why you want an SPA over something with SSR: * You have a large number of users compared to your resources and you can’t afford for your user base to always hit your server. Comparatively, deploying API-on

Just a small note about mypy and python - annotations are first-class citizens in Python3 and are not tied to any particular type checking system such as mypy, but are instead a core part of the language and actually serve vital functions i

This comment reads like a culture problem not an LLM problem. Imagine for a moment that you work as a developer, encounter a weird bug, and post your problem into your company’s Slack. Other devs then send a bunch of StackOverflow links tha

I don’t understand this point. The project under scrutiny is Android and people are detecting vulnerabilities both manually and automatically based on source code/binary, not over commit logs. Why would the commit logs be relevant at a

I was really excited for this - I’ve been saying to all my friends that I wish I could use my kindle for more. Obviously the kindle is quite slow so it’s not a good fit for reading on the web (I use Instapaper a lot and wish I could have th

The Americans is a highly sensationalized and fictionalized retelling of the life stories of Elena Vavilova and Andrey Bezrukov. From a historical/accuracy perspective, there’s basically zero resemblance of the show and the source mate

Unfortunately in this case the answer as written is completely wrong. See the top reply. > If you do not have a fiduciary relationship with Boeing and you have no confidentiality obligations with respect to the information, you are not t

Negotiation is always a two way street. I’m a startup founder. Your investors, when they invest, will send you some documents on key provisions (e.g. pro rata rights) and you and they will go back and forth on what is acceptable. You, as a

Q: if this is the equivalent of a password, what’s the mechanism for resetting the password? For example, you are selling a used car. Or you have many cars each of which you don’t use too frequently. Or you have a tractor that you use seaso

Because it takes a lot of time and because the comments can get outdated. I also want this for all my code bases. But do I always do this myself? No, especially on green field projects. I will sometimes go back and annotate them later.

In the computer science academic sphere, the conferences at which one is a reviewer is among the top items on a CV. It implies that you are such a pillar and expert in that community that they would ask you to referee the merits of incoming

This seems much more like a problem for the journal and reviewer than it does about ChatGPT. I am a reviewer at several computer science publications. This behaviour is likely against the publication's code of conduct for reviewers. If

There are many well known problems with C++, not least of which are the long compile times, exception handling, and dependency handling. Anyone who has worked with a sufficiently large C++ code base has run into these issues. The overwhelmi

I can’t speak to this, but I can say that many of the Japanese-born students I taught expressed many of these same concerns to me. My female students felt discouraged that they would not be as successful as their male peers after graduating

I also lived for a time in Germany and in Canada. I want to note that West != USA. These countries are not without their own problems but I see no need to paper over them. Rather, we can be honest about their faults and their positive quali

I would stay away from writing any program in C unless it is absolutely 100% necessary for your use case. For example, if you’re working on a large existing C code base like the Linux kernel. There are much better modern alternatives to get

That dictionary is the same dictionary used by Wordle. It was extracted from the Wordle app. I’m pretty sure all of them are valid English words, which ones do you think are not valid English words?
