I get that "banana republic" is often used to describe corrupt countries, but this overlooks the fact that much of the corruption was imposed by foreign powers, particularly the United Fruit Company with the backing of the U.S. go

I have a bug/hate relationship with the visitor pattern: how do I implement it without causing a stack overflow in languages without tail recursion optimization? It always ends up in a loop with a lot of ifs inside.

How it works for people doing handling material that obviously violates ToS? It would be expected for police investigators, war crime prosecutors, etc? Imagine that a crime ends up impune because adobe decides to delete part of the proofs!

In Spanish, we have a saying: "Perfect is the enemy of good." Personally, I didn't think the generative results were that bad. What I feel is that Google, in its quest for perfection, will never use LLMs in its products. Advi
