Going of memories:

Didn’t he write a codebase that was so bad, that paypal throw it out when they realized what they had bought.
Also did he finish his physics bachelor?

Hey, javas default toString gives you two informations:

• type, not that the class names in many java projects are informative
• identity, while the pointers are gibberish you can see if they are the same gibberish

Just put it in a formal grammar:

GNU -> GNU's Not Unix's
GNU -> gnu
GIMP -> GNU image manipulation program

The image is a cropped xkcd with the text replaced but the same joke.

Prolog is not suitable for any problem domain, although this is more readily apparent for some domains than others.

For real, for real.

I agree with the sentiment but …

then nothing can be bricked because on paper you can desolder the rom chip and put another one in place.

Companies already put serial numbers in components and configure them so only specific ones work together, requiring OEM tools to pair them.
It’s imaginable that someone makes something similar with e-fuzes instead.

A yes, the two genders of binary file formats: renamed sqlite file and renamed zip folder.

The other atomic clocks that are averaged to give us our ground truth for time.

… or one second back, that’s the problem.

Well, apart from the free movement of people and goods, the common currency, the gdpr, the international students and the consumer protection what has the EU ever done for us?

Brought peace.

Uh peace, shut up.

What is the methodology called where you:

Plan to go to orbit, blow up seconds into the flight, and declare it a success.

Plan to refuel in orbit, make it minutes before the rocket brakes. Fire the FTS, it fails, the rocket blows up a minute later und declare it a successful test of the FTS.

Argue to NASA that you are not the limiting factor to the moon mission planed for the end of the year, despite delivering none of the milestones.

FTS = flight termination system

I think Dylan Beattie once said: If you don’t have a plan, how can you choose not to follow it?

Websites have grown beyond mere scripting.
Rust is about more than just nicer pointers, it has a very expressive type system that enables correctness rarely seen outside FP.

Instead of

if let Some(a_) = a{
    ()
} else if let Some(b_)=b{
    ()
} else {
    dostuff 
}

you could just use

if a.isNone()&&b.isNone(){
    dostuff
}

Also if you don’t use the value in a match just use _

While that works for “news agencies” it’s a free money glitch when used in a customer support role for the consumer.

Edit: clarification

The system works great all year round but what it delivers is not electricity…

The absence of coincidence

Look up the strong law of small numbers.

Also, one of their examples of AI was an exhaustive search.

Sleep sort is kind of like count sort but with added overhead. Both have a complexity of O(n+m) with n being the length and m the value of the max element.

The optimum of O(n * log n) is based on the assumption that the only information about the values is obtained by comparison. If you operate on integer keys I would recommend radix sort. It has a complexity of O(n * w) where w is the length (read logarithm) of the key.

I can’t find the name/source at the moment, but if you enumerate all turing machines and run them concurrently* you will find the optimal algorithm for your problem in O(1) and executed that.
To my knowledge the algorithm is so inefficient on small input that it takes hours to solve integer addition.

* You run the first turing machine one step, than the first two one additional step, that the first tree… This allows you to run an unlimited amount of TMs an unlimited amount of steps.

The spec is open source, particular implementation are typically under patent/copyright protection.
Not that they can be enforced effectively, unless the chips are exported into the US.
