I think it is more than fine to use Edit and Continue as a professional. I’m acknowledging the trade offs and making an argument meant to be heard by a resistant audience that is likely to be the ones making the tool. E&C is a useful t

It’s useful to realize Edit and Continue is not for professional programmers, and the qualities we’d most want are not appropriate to every problem. The horrible code you inherited as the programmer brought on is because some non-profession

In VB the feature requested here was called Edit and Continue. VB users loved it. The original release of VB.net did not have it, and was the highest priority feature to add back. When we added it back into Visual Studio, C# got it as well

The thumbstamp version of creating fake celeb faces was one of the projects for the Deep Learning Udacity nanodegree. (These get changed over time, so it may be different now.) The dataset of 200,000 celeb photos with the face nicely center

Drastically simplified source access for the silicon partners seems more important for the business case. I agree the power aspect, absent more specifics, sounds wrong.

Somewhat related is Thomas Metzinger’s The ego tunnel. Metzinger is an applied philosopher, directly examining what is consciousness as can be determined and backed up with neuroscience. I loved Antonio Damasio’s the feeling of what happens

Is this an 8k standalone binary? It’s amazing either way! I’m curious as to what counts as part of the 8k and what might be assumed as part of the platform.

How much of this is transferable? Is this institutional manufacturing knowledge a gigantic amount of potential energy for tesla’s competition that will put them in lead for EVs? Or is it a friction keeping a competitive EV from a big car

How does this interact with pilot wave theory? Is the article saying that the causal direction of time is undefined within a quantum entangled system? Or is that more than what it’s claiming?

How does this change the threat model for using keybase? It would seem to increase the target value of compromising the client. Is that immediate impression wrong?

The Chakra Javascript engine uses a conservative generational mark and sweep collector with many phases running in parallel to code execution. It looks like Chakra is now on github (and with an MIT license). In chakra the GC is called it a

I was looking at Dashlane which seemed to have some good features, including some ability to do password rotation automatically, and some level of yubikey support. That said I'm still using keepass. I discovered it when I needed a so

My understanding is git’s origin was in reproducing and extending the functionality contained in Bitkeeper due to a crisis with the licensing. The apparent story of git being a exercise of Linus the 10X programmer digesting and re-imaginin

As I write from a Mac that has VSCode running in the background, I'm rooting for it. But then, I'm biased. The VScode team started as a sister team to the Chakra javascript engine team, and I worked on Chakra for a few years. The

Yes, there are a bunch of legitimate use cases for large scale development where you want inline tools to assist QA and diagnostic issues. The Visual Studio codebase had (may have changed now) a dialog for debug asserts allowing you to supp

This is really cool. You can also detect a debugger on windows by using one of the apis provided, such as IsDebuggerAttached, or is debuggerpresent. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop&#x

You’re right! As i also found out from the dozens of people on facebook that unearthed first gen Zune’s due to the same comment. My current understanding is it was a dpad in the shape of a circle.

This probably says more about me than the article, but the drawing at the top is of an ipod that says zune. A zune has a ‘squarcle’ rather than a circle.

TDD allows you to recreate a full memory snapshot at an arbitrary point during the recorded execution. A regular debugger cannot tell you what was in a register or memory location previous to what is currently there now. TTD does allow tha

Intellitrace and TTD take different approaches and have very different trade offs. Intellitrace allows imposing logging on a system posthoc. TTD records everything the system does. They are not merely labeled differently they are differe

The core technology was born out of a group in MS research long ago. Moving from research code to production is highly non-trivial. I first heard how time travel debugging was implemented before i knew about Facebook. I suspect SSDs are pa

"one person cannot be evaluated and paid in isolation of budgets" - SteveSi is just wrong on this. This is only true if you have a policy of highly differentiated pay for short term performance and/or have an "up or ou

My wife and I never wanted children. Neither of us needed to convince the other. We did agree that, if either of us did change our mind, adopting would be the right path. I don't get the idea that you need to hate kids to decide that havin

It's a log scale. The bottom axis should use tick marks to make it is obvious. A poorly marked log scale is certainly something to fix. It's not the same as fudging the data. [edit: If you wish to say a log scale is inherently misleading

The idea of sharing a kitchen counter and computer desk just makes me think crumbs in the keyboard. However, minimizing the kitchen and having really high end shared kitchen facilities would be great. Between the ages of 24 and 28 I didn't
