This is anecdata, but in my experience with myself and my coworkers, it is not that we believe the AI will be more accurate in software engineering, but that the answer will come faster and be more tailored to our exact problems. If I have

A lot of geolocation data on the market is anonymized, following medium-lived unique IDs that aren't able to be mapped to other identifiers. The problem with that is that if you have precise locations, or enough samples that you can ap

As far as I know, even HDDs were pretty resilient to magnets when in their enclosures. I once took a large magnet meant for holding together concrete forms, one strong enough that it stuck to a ferrous surface it could probably support my w

I've seen months straight of 100F+, and I was in LA for their heat wave last July (120F). I happen to be near Tampa right now and I'd really much prefer a hotter dry heat, where shade actually does something and fans have any chan

Best I can tell it's only libraries that generate those sort of strings, which could just as well report a different string for Windows 9. The actual Windows API even returns the version information for Windows 8 if the application isn

The quoted optimization in the post isn't about German strings though, but the C++ style short string optimization (the post references an article describing the difference). A few of the referenced crates do this optimization so the b

I think two things are at play here. 1. Students will frequently just try things until it works, move code around, etc., leading to very messy code. 2. Graders often do not look at individual assignments unless there is a reason to do so,

An example of a Mossad generated file would be the source file plus a bunch of dead code. The dead code consists of lines from the original file repeated in random locations (plus, if you are using an "entropy file", random lines

Does anyone have historic data on this to tell whether it is common to front-load layoffs at the start of the year? It looks like January of last year had the fewest layoffs, which surprises me. I would have expected having many layoffs tow

I've been using it for a few months to host a few terminal based games, and for that it has worked very well. I can also imagine it being useful for quickly throwing up a status page using top or whatever other tool you want.

That is certainly an interesting problem, one I first saw in a Hackaday post from a few years ago [1]. Personally, I've always wondered how any aliens would interpret the Arecibo message - if they could even decode it, that is. [1] ht
