Will it be able to conceptualise what tasks it cannot do and hire others to do them? And if it can conceptualise, could it not over time teach itself, or learn from others?

This makes me think a direction worth pursuing would be to save the whole-program-analysis from the last compile pass for the new compile pass, so you can avoid re-analysing things. So you'd spend maybe 20 minutes on the first compile,

Gold is not inherently valuable. It's useless. That's why it was used to mint coins in the past, plus the fact that it's hard to get means counterfeiting is hard. Then people started attaching some mystical value quality to g

I think the biggest question I need answered is "why would I use this and not ANTLR"?

P.S. and let's not forget that Gtk3 really really wants to draw its own titlebars and do its own window management.

People seem to like it. Personally I don't, but... yeah. Gtk3 devs have outright said that gtk3 is not officially supported in any environment but GNOME3, which also worries me. On the other hand, this may be enough stimulus to make Qt

Not if you board a spaceship and travel to them at close to light speed! Then you, personally, would just wait a few hours.

Haskell is a pure language. Purity is a concept that is absolutely bizarre to the real world, where adding two numbers together results in tons of side effects (load into registers, oops, have to load cache lines, alter memory, raise the am

Sometimes I dream of an alternate future where SUN weren't asshats and Java won and we're all running applications that come with maven POMs. Then I remember how badly the average web developer can bungle simple static HTML and re

As snaily said above, your smartphone really doesn't need 2500kcal/day. I think what they were trying to say is that, given 100% perfect energy transfer, you'll be able to power your phone from your daily calories without mis

You could look at the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the USA as an attempt at getting the manual right once and for all. Unfortunately it seems the manual that survives is the one that best guarantees its own survival. Fancy how that wo

Given that Python has no tail-recursion optimisation, you really shouldn't be writing functions in this style to begin with. If you really want to though, I think there is a way to make the fixed-point combinator also mess with the fun

Given that there's a lot of dated cars, I don't think the advice is unwarranted.

Historically, it's been a significant win for some of the SPECcpu benchmarks. But doesn't it mean that you're not really executing the full benchmark then?

He is still in the institution? If he's still crazy, how did he write the book? Or did he half-coherently narrate it to someone who then posted it for him?

If the baseline for the parent quote is 6 hours, 6 hours plus 25% is 7 hours 30 minutes, which is about the ideal amount in the study you linked. So yeah.

The ones who also speak High English (British English? Newscaster English? Academic English? Something along these lines...) are, yes. From what I understand, most^ just use AAVE all the time and don't learn to speak High English. ^Dis

Not just that, it's just 400 lines. Has the author ever seen production C++ code? This is high-quality easy-to-maintain code in comparison. Come on.

I'm really sad neovim didn't call themselves vi improved improved, or vii. It doesn't just carry the naming tradition of vim, but is also one more than vi.

Possibly also something that cross-references all the different GOSUB commands and the FLAG commands to the places they're checked. Then someone could go through and give them friendlier names. Also, you'd want to cross-reference

Maybe we need to look towards the DS for inspiration. At the beginning, the touch aspect was heavily promoted and a lot of games came out with only touch controls, that worked mostly well. On the other hand, the DS has one very important fe

You could combine it with annual payments. Free copyright for the first 20 years, then annual payments until death of author (person or other legal entity). Disney will still like it, because it will be less money than lobbying, but it will

I'm calling it pedantic, because as far as I can see nobody cares outside of people doing movie VFX and the like, where it is actually really really important that you get it right. Your GUI for example doesn't care - elements are

This sounds a lot like Android's binder mechanism for inter-process communication.

That sounds a bit odd. If you're standing up to the government, why would the laws matter to you. Or is it a bit like "Here's a gun, if we ever go too bad, shoot us". Which in turn raises the question why has no-one mass

A quick, very pedantic note - the images don't show colouring based on linear distance. The problem is that your monitor works in non-linear colourspace - sRGB, while the image is generated in linear RGB but not converted to sRGB after

Interesting... would it be possible to charge from the outlet at regular gas stations? Assuming you carry an electricity meter to be able to pay for the energy you take. Alternatively, what about a small generator that you fill with gas in

You should also factor in the fact that if you're an electric car enthusiast, you probably want a Tesla and have no other high-class options, plus a lot of Tesla owners are electric car enthusiasts.
