Well, it doesn't need to be any worse than the stack-based implementation of a recursive tree traversal, and it can't be significantly better. You have to store that state somewhere. Perhaps it can be optimized to be a little bett

I just tried ChatGPT free with the prompt "There's a mate-in-two composed by Paul Morphy. What's the key move?". It searches and finds it immediately. But if I ask it not to search the internet, its response is incohere

There are lots of restrictions on guns. Depending on the state, you can't own a gun with a barrel of a certain length, or a certain magazine capacity, or you can't own a gun if you're a felon, or you can't sell a gun wit

It sounds more like "I don't want to maintain a feature of that scope" or "I don't want to commit to the design decisions this feature would require". Both of those aren't solved by a PR. If you're di

How would this be different from a function sql() that operates on one of these new t-strings? The syntactic sugar of changing it from sql(t"...") doesn't seem particularly valuable. The novel thing about t-strings is that th

I have inherited a suite of apps that do this. I have mixed feelings about this: on the one hand, many of them work just fine and will never need a second worker, and they were relatively easy for inexperienced devs to put together. On the

It doesn't have to be realistic to you or a target or even to the cops on the ground, it has to convince their bosses who make the purchasing decisions. I could believe they like their stereotypes on the corny side.
