I love that idea, some kind of Google maps for code where (0,0) is your main would take out a lot of pain when onboarding into large and poorly documented codebases.

A test tool that can take an abstract/general purpose AST and output unit tests for every code path. Complementary features would include pinning tests to 1. Diff 2. Detect regressions. Also having the ability to fuzz the code automat

I use rust weekly and I find it to have the best DX. I have done work with Oracle Java 5-8, IBM XL C99, MSVC++11, CPython 2-3, C# .NET Core 3.1. Stable Rust 2021 is overall the most readable, least surprising, BUT only with the right tool w

There's no end to how many ways to categorize someone. It's even worse when you realize people change. What's the point of coming up with new ways of creating divisions among the populace, and then trying to use them as if it

Exactly, IBM can make movies using individual atoms, surely we aren't too far from being able to look at molecular structures and deduce what compounds are in a sample of blood.

Domotics should be mandated to always work offline, and all deathly hazards should be denied any network io. I don't want to discover my oven has a 0day by finding my home on fire.

We exists, but it's complicated. A complete solution has more edge cases than what "stacks" have tools to work with. My gut feeling is that the contemporary approach to solving information problems is crazy nonsense. I'm

If everyone is on UBI, then who is getting the work done? Seems to me there needs to be some more constraints on the idea to be realistic. Maybe Strategic Basic Income? Eg: Executive branch gets coal miners on it for X years to let them ret

Fine US lawmakers should have Congress outlaw scalping. Then victims of the US medical system would have a novel argument to sue goodness into the damn thing.

I don't understand the surprise expressed by many in this thread. There's 47k engineers all working very hard to justify their job at MS, there's no incentive on making a good product, it just has to sell, keep your boss happ

So much this, a UI that understands traits, structs and automatically displays a control for that type in both bulk edit and single form mode would get money from me.

There's no magic. you need a core team that pivots from writing code at O(n) cost enterprise wide to more or less amortized O(1) where n is the amount of work required to process a new data stream - ie having to write code once per st

The halting problem hegemony. I can tell if a program would exit eventually or not. At some point there must be a subset of all possible programs we can tell, can stop, and can tell would stop under x,y,z conditions. So the whole problem th

It never made sense to me that large software suites like these don't offer a secure by default option on creation or as a progressive migration after creation. Why soo many steps...

In Québec we have Antidote. It's a good "old" piece of software you install on your computer and it integrates with office and other programs to provide _explanations_ of why what you write, looks wrong. No keylogger, no gett

Probably never will. ML is not a golden Hammer. It's an analog information encoder and decoder. It's excellent at parsing images, but it can't make decisions, that's not how thought processes works. On AI day when they e
