I didn't initally understand this from your summary, so trying to rephrase it a bit to how I understand it after glancing over the paper: The paper's thesis is that most (?) currently claimed advances in fuzzing algorithms were no

What? Several people expressed constructive critique. You extrapolate this way too much in this comment. I, for one, am part of "Go community" and am certainly not against the proposal. More than that, I love that people smart

The most important quote here for me: "What kept me from [writing my own tool] was a calm voice in my head telling me that I’m here to write a book, not a preprocessor. [...] Now I have written two books and zero tools, which I consid

As for "everything is a file", IIUC Plan9 explored this area extensively, and the community of fans is still alive, so I believe good insights from real world experience could be gathered at this early design stage by talking with

Could you try to outline some key insights you got from it? Would be much more helpful and convincing as a recommendation! :)

Procrastination can actually manifest in seeing that there's so much to do, but not enough time, then feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed by perceived effort and/or consequences and/or required decision/choice, and thus do

Uh? Then how do I plug my USB-C Samsung phone into an USB 2.0 A port on my laptop with an official Samsung cable found in the phone's box? Do I misunderstand something? Is the cable "illegal"?

Oh, cool, didn't think of it! On to different projects now, but maybe some day... if you don't do it earlier yourself ;) (Though I actually like the pressure sensitivity feature very much...) Also, in case you'd come back to

In case of this particular software, I actually wanted to pay/donate, but couldn't find a link for this IIRC. (Or it could have been via credit card, and I didn't have a credit card.) I'm curious if there's some way

See above — https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17859000 — apparently, the author has some plans for revival! :) And by the way, the app's actually already usable as is.

Oh, wow! Awesome to hear! :) All the best luck with the development. I'm still using the app occasionally. I miss some features, but it's useful to me as-is already.

I found the app awesome for quick writing with a stylus on a MS Surface (probably works on other tablets/tablet PCs too). It seems the development has stopped a few years ago, unfortunately; I'm very happy the author still at leas

Oh! So, first of all, I didn't know about this site, and actually it could have helped. I wish it was mentioned early enough (e.g. when first operators are introduced?) in the tutorial I was reading (Learn You Some H.? Not sure, don&#x

For me personally, the proliferation of custom operators/syntax is a serious obstacle. When reading, I seem to need to "hear/speak" what I'm reading in my mind, and seeing a line of operators that I have no idea how

I've bought a joystick (some inexpensive HOTAS set actually [1]) specifically for playing helicopter sims. It makes a world of a difference. I mean, still hard, but suddenly approachable at all and fun. And notably, all the hand move

How do STOLs compare to helicopters in pros & cons? Especially regarding costs? I'm curious if it could be feasible to operate a STOL as an air taxi service in a city, could it be cheaper than helicopters?

That's a very interesting reply for me, thanks. Reflecting on it, actually I don't really follow the list either nowadays, due to not enough time. But I feel I kinda do know the “who's who” of the community, and thus I someti
