I don’t think the guitar analogy is a great one. You have to learn by picking it up because no expert plays the guitar using personalised AI. But there are expert programmers who use lots of AI tools, so AI is more of an important part of l

How is it not illegal to pay the ransom? Knowingly giving money to organised criminals for something that shouldn’t happen in the first place?

It means the order in which you serialise a multi-dimensional array. So for this 2D table: 1262 3418 9076 Because it’s 2D it has two stride orders, xy and yx, i.e. row-major and column-major, which would be 126234189076 and

There isn’t much closed source software which is depended on as heavily as things like xz. The only one I can think of is Windows, which I think it’s safe to assume is definitely backdoored.

Well that’s not really true. It’s not like cash is deanonynising because of the serial numbers. You can still get stamps on a grey market or send someone else to get them for you, and I’m sure they’re sold in lots of places that don’t have

The common advice[0] is to just write one sentence per line. I usually split at commas etc as well. Then use editor soft wrapping instead of fixing a maximum line length - but if your lines get longer than the screen width that might be a s

This came from the depths of memory but I have no idea how it got there, oops. https://helmets.org/history.htm suggests the first standard for bike helmets was in 1970?

Even more unbelievable to me is that the idea of wearing a helmet to protect your head while cycling wasn’t invented until 1970

To be fair, with Arch, the more often you upgrade the less you have to fear - the migrations around breaking changes are normally pretty good.

I think there isn't enough research into languages with affine/linear typing (the property of some types that they can't be copied - which is partly what the borrow checker ensures in Rust). I'm super sold on it for enha
