I'm not a researcher, so start with the default assumption that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I had the same impression when studying those topics, asymptotic analysis is kind of broken. For example, we assume that

I'm not saying that there aren't problems giving big tech yet another blank check, but aren't we going a bit overboard here? I read the code (it's 100 lines) and it does one (1) GET request. You'd be generating pret

I use macOS and the rest of the pseudo-office suite. It's okay. But Numbers is just bad. It takes forever to open files and perform even trivial operations. I do a lot of data engineering and people's "creative" usage of

It's by Larry Kaufman, so it's safe to assume it's for computer chess rather than humans. If that's the case, it's not a problem; engine matches are usually played as "game pairs" where each engine plays t

To be honest the breathalyzer is a bit hypocritical as well. The limit is usually set so low that it becomes a tool of selective enforcement. Either we are willing to say that the limit is 0 with a de minimis exception and otherwise any a

It's very good at being a remote _desktop_ protocol, but the fact that it lacks features like tunneling and that authentication is the usual MS mess makes me wish they just went with SSH as transport protocol.

For anything serious your best bet is using an SSH client like Prompt or Blink, or an RDP client (Microsoft's app is decent). You might have some luck with something like iSH, but it's pretty janky if you have to do real work. Jun

I have never heard of that book, but a quick Google search reveals that the author is in the process of "releasing version 2". Refer to the previous comment for my opinion on that matter.

I have read novels written by engineers. More often than not, they are unreadable. They fail to understand why people read (or write). They are an engineer's idea of what a novel should look like. In the most loving way possible and as

For all those SaaS products today, you see legions of consultants, system integration projects, a cottage industry for customizations... The skills aren't irrelevant.

I don't see the point. If/when that happens, programmers start doing the thing that comes next. The thread was about skills, ASM skills aren't irrelevant for doing C, C skills aren't irrelevant for doing Python and so on

I work a lot with databases and I've seen... stuff. It's not as bad as you might think if you know what you are doing. Most RDBMSs support recursive CTEs, it feels like writing Prolog with a slightly sadistic syntax. For something

I'm mostly in the camp that notebooks aren't that great for software development, they thrive as an "excel for coders" of sorts, but take a look at nbdev from fast.ai. The literate programming aspect is very nice and I w

I believe it's more frustration directed at the mismatch between marketing and reality, combined with the general well deserved growing hatred for SV culture, and, more broadly, software engineers. The sentiment would be completely d

I technically left myself some wiggle room, but to face the argument head on: that is begging the question more than a little bit. A "sufficiently advanced" system can be assumed to have any capability. Why? Because it's &quo

The point is that if the limitations of current LLMs persist, regardless of how much better they get, this is not a problem at all, or at least not a new one . Let's say you are given the declaration but not the implementation of a fu

yes, this is true. I was talking more about the UX of how to use them, which in both cases is quite painful without type inference.

This is obviously valid, but it's definitely more common in a language like Python to just dump data inside a dict. In a dynamic language it's a far more flexible structure, it's the equivalent of HashMap<? extends CanBeHa
