Since an "arbitrary piano" is tuned by turning screws, like simpler string instruments, the only pitches that it cannot be tuned to are those that fall outside the range of each string. Departing from the usual inharmonically temp

I'm starting to read the course at the beginning, and a depressing aversion to explaining why and not only what seems apparent, probably motivated by a desire for brevity and informality that also causes serious defects. For exampl

Behind the article's dichotomy of CTTI and RTTI there is the catalogue of concrete features (e.g. printf-like string formatting) and the respective algorithms with an exponential or linear cost in the number of types. The choice betwee

> An “untossed salad” is definitely not a salad. I definitely agree, but grandfathering in this specific exception suggests a definition variant: a salad can be mixed and shuffled (possibly from an ordered initial state), and in

Given that it is easy to feed FFMPEG arbitrary input to exploit any vulnerability, popular codecs are very likely to be already secure enough, while unpopular ones are far more dangerous and deserve more attention. It can be assumed that an

It is usually possible to design a representation where cows and pigs are the same thing, either Animal class instances or equally unified other data structures, and their differences are data (e.g. weight, length, one of several colour pat

You don't seem to grasp that handling individual entity state has a cost that has to be minimized and amortized. A generation counter offers a good deal in many common cases: for the fixed small cost of incrementing the generation coun

I certainly don't know "what my program does" if it's a game where, at every frame of the simulation, thousands of entities might or might not be created, deleted and recycled depending on player inputs. Can you describe

Focus on formal verification is a technique to "harden" an unreliable LLM that produces meaningless slop from arbitrary text into a compiler that produces a correct program from a concise, formal input. "Writing formal specs&

I agree with the distinction between using a LLM as a tool to make personal contributions to healthy projects and expecting Codeberg to host arbitrary slop, but I'm afraid you are assuming good faith. The "developer" could be

C++ is in the transitional phase where major bad things are being taken away very satisfactorily, usually by providing a simpler and more general replacement (for example, auto instead of long and pointless type declarations or modern ini

They don't consider the ORM the second class citizen it actually is: an optional simplified alternative to normal queries, that can be used for the easy cases.

One of the points is that, for a startup, not flailing around is very difficult and unlikely: these patterns of failure and "classic bullshit" are the universal norm. This piece "articulates a point of view or personality tha

Considerable arrogance is required to think you can improve on mature products enough to conquer a large market share. Such arrogance should be supported by having, if not a demonstrably fantastic prototype, at least an obviously good idea;

A contributor in good faith is going to accept criticism and resubmit an improved change: less files modified, more explanation, more focus, references to actual tickets and discussion with actual developers.

Is this a joke? Instead of using a formal aspect specification that people (and bots) can get wrong, like any other programming language, trust a bot to do the right thing spontaneously and implement an aspect oriented architecture without

The flaw in the argument is postulating a subscription model for a product that a normal customer needs very sporadically. Even old-school selling of perpetual licenses and support fees would be inappropriate. Instead, sell expensive one-of

The quoted code suggests that the wrong sizes aren't evident constants in code (there is a function to compute/retrieve them) and extra inspection during debugging is the most plausible way to detect them. Hopefully this kind of b
