I am not using AI tools for code generation. I have only used it for 'querying' information, for example, when I started to work with Device Trees and Yocto for embedded Linux development. I am happy with IntelliSense. Yes, AI too

In the family of my maternal grandfather there are many individuals who are much better at science but have difficulty with language (often in combination with dyslexia) in school. I have some evidence that those individuals (myself include

I wonder how this fits with the results from dora.dev that CI/CD is the most effective way to develop software. Is working on a single branch without feature branch and without mandatory code reviews even more effective? Or is it due t

I wrote a program to produce the exact cover for the puzzle and I did some experiments with my exact cover solver to find solutions and generate an estimate of the number of solutions. I am not very sure on the estimate. One run returned a

Evidence is showing that Continiuos Intergration/Continious Development is the most effective development method. (See dora.dev) Working without branches (on the server) is the best way to implement this. (Search 'ci branches&#x27

I did write a program to generate an exact cover. Thr output is a little over 5 megabyte when using a notation that list the indices of the positions that have a 1. I have not yet verified that it is correct. My solver found one solution so

In the past years, I reviewed stage0 of live-bootstrap and gave two presentations about it (available on YouTube). Currently, I am working on a much simpler approach than using the GNU Mes compiler, which requires you to first have a large

It would be nice, if they could publish the exact cover. I have written some algorithm that can estimate the number of solutions to an exact cover base on the number of solutions it found and the size of the 'tree' that has been e

Nice article, which also explains the mapping of the puzzle to an exact cover problem and how those can be solved with dangling links as in Knuth's Algorithm X.

Now write some code to manage collectons of intervals and operations, such as finding if a value is included in a collection of intervals and operations for merging two collections of intervals. What is the best data structure to be used? E

If you have (grand)children, an important reason to wanting to stay alive is often not the fear of dying, but wanting to be there for them and fearing the grief they will endure if you are gone.

What is real? There are strong indications that what we experience as reality is an ilusion generated by what is usually refered to as the subconscious. One could argue that knots are more real than numbers. It is hard to find two equal loo

Have a look at flutter.dev. It is a multiplatform app development environment. The have instruction materials for beginners.

Very nice. I like and will recommend it to others.

It is amazing which speed up you can achieve with some simple caching when using a back-tracking recursive descent parser working on a string stored in memory.

In Urumqi people simply do everything two hours later than normal. The tradition working hours would be 10AM to 2PM and 4PM to 8PM.

The other day, I read that reviewing code takes double the effort of writing code. What Linus mostly does is merging code and resolving conflicts, which also requires him to read (review) the code. The formating of code has a significant im

I wonder if the 'debits and credits' example is still realistic. Is it not that banks record all individual money transfers and keep them on record for years (often due to national laws that require this). Then the balance on a ce

So far, I have not felt the need of the type of library that is proposed here. There were some cases where I needed integers larger than 2^64. There are usuallt only a few puzzles where you need some specialized data structures. Most of the

This is not an generator that generates code, like yacc/bison, but that dynamically constructs a data structure ('table') that the parsing engine uses to perform the parsing.

Solving this kind of puzzles is equal to solving an exact cover. Exact cover is known to be NP-complete.

Nice write up. I subscribe the given advices. This made me consider to get the 500 stars as well.

Do I understand that they are claiming that they have found a way to explain General Relativity from quantum field theory. Are all other effects of General Relativity also explained by this quantum field theory. If not, it seems contradict

I have always understood that 'Mercury’s perihelion precession' is explained by Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (GTR). The article suggest an alternative explanation, which seems to imply that the GTR is not t

As someone from Europe (the Netherlands), it is an important reason for me to no longer consider to travel to the USA. The idea of the possibility to be deported to a prison facility in South America or Africa, with no due process is simply

At your age, I guess it is rather important what you have to offer besides your software development skills. Do you have experience working in teams, a track record with working with people, or extensive knowledge in an adjacent field, such

Interesting game dynamics. A bit like clickomania. I first though that this was a puzzle game with the purpose of finding a solution that removes all colored stones, but with the time limit of 2 minutes, it become a click-as-fast-as-possibl

Finally, there is a response. In the past days several drones flew through Polish airspace on their way to Ukrane. Putin is constantly escalating in this war. I read that the missile that hit the government building a few days ago, did not
