Surely there are more but we are talking about a very limited number: Think top 20 athletes in any given sport. And considering the Pareto distribution(which I'm absolutely convinced is equally valid in this scenario), we are most like

For years we've been hearing how AI will build robots and wipe out humanity and the bollocks that is the trolley problem. I remember when I was reading the Unsupervised Cross-Domain Image Generation[1] paper and my immediate thought wa

Something of the sorts could be implemented but this would be an attempt to make something idiot-proof. And from my experience, nothing can ever be idiot-proof. To quote Mark Twain: "they will drag you down to their level and beat you

Not Cyrillic in particular, all scripts(I just happen to have Cyrillic layout hence the reason I used it for my example), but if you go around blogs, twitter or other websites, there are tons and tons of people mixing those up to look fancy

1. Simplify - as a rule of thumb, if something looks too complicated it probably is. If you think there are too much "ifs" in the code, there certainly are. 2. Remove any "shiny-new-toy". A perfect example would be my ba

U.S. is a different story. On the other side of the pond, things look differently. I know of just one person in his late 20's living with his mom, but this is a recent development in his life(used to live abroad, moved back and needed

I honestly don't think anyone suggests dropping C in favor of Rust. Make no mistake, I love Rust and I think it's the best language that's been developed in this century. Firstly, C is where it is because it's well estab

I hate such titles with a passion. I wonder if people will ever realize that "X monthly users" means absolutely nothing. That's by far the most useless metric people have come up with. This is the exact equivalent of "co

It is true. Full disclosure - I'm very inexperienced when it comes to javascript - it is on par with my German skills - I can do basic shopping, order a coffee or get a bus ticket, get from A to B but that's it. But I do feel like

That's hardly surprising. I mean browsers hand out willingly plenty of information that could be used for pretty accurate identifications. Just scrolling through my scores on amiunique[1], many of the parameters put me in the 0.01% cat

Kind of depends how you define self-taught to be honest. Though I went through university, I do consider myself more self-taught more than anything: I got into programming when I was 10. By the time I got to university, I already knew 4 or

You'd be surprised how many top-downloaded apps are made with flutter. Electron and typescrypt may have some potential but they have a horrible genetic desease - javascript. That alone makes flutter a clear winner.

In all fairness I think Dart is Flutter's strength, not it's weakness. It is a very well thought out language, unlike javascript(in the spirit of discussing electron). There is undeniably a problem with flutter however: while it c
