Even though it's called "T9 Speed Test", it seems to default to T9 being off, and you have to actually click on the T9 link at the top right to enable it. Really confusing at first!

It's not real Python. It's essentially a made-up language that resembles a subset of Python. That said, if I was building a small ugly toy Python implementation, I would probably also not implement long integers. Or the power oper

Where is that quote from? The OP literally says it's based on "annual global sales", and so does this: "6 % of the annual worldwide turnover" https://streamlex.eu/articles/dsa-en-art-52/

It doesn't matter if you're losing money on paper, since the fee is on sales, not profit.

OK, so the two options are: A) Claude really produced this counterexample B) A mathematician working for Anthropic solved a problem mathematicians have been working on for more than a century, and then credited it to Claude for PR purposes

True, but not sure how it's relevant - you don't need memory corruption for the test to perform arbitrary I/O. And even if you trust the tests to not do anything bad, you don't need memory corruption for this to be an is

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. An empty train would still exist in the live train data. It does not depend on mobile phones, but on rail signals and other such tracking built into the rail infrastructure.

You are giving it to them. That's why the demo asks for your location permission, and that's why the API expects location info. "You" here means another app that integrates their API (or you as an individual using the de

No, live train data in the UK is already publicly available, e.g. see https://www.opentraintimes.com/ This is matching your phone's location to the already public train data.

I think you're misunderstanding what they are saying. They don't use background location data, but they do use your current location data. Try the "Find My Train" demo on their site - it asks for location permission. Or

Presumably you still need a C++ compiler for LLVM itself though. Or... a C++ to C translator. Edit: On second thought, that's only needed if you want to run rustc itself on the old hardware, which is probably not super useful given the

Fun! There are some combinations that don't seem to work though, e.g. "dG" and "dgg" do nothing.

Presumably you could trigger one of those onbeforeunload confirmation dialogs in that case. I assume you would also have some sort of icon that indicates all of the changes you made have been synced (or the opposite, an icon for when they h

I don't like the app either, but it's not too hard to transfer the files directly to the phone over WiFi without using any of the cloud/editing things. What's annoying is you have to do it in three steps: first transfer

It might sometimes prefetch the surrounding lines as well, but ultimately cache space is limited, so there is a trade-off. Every time you fill a line, you are throwing away something else that was cached there previously, which you may need

Can you spoil it for me, because I read it to the end and saw no mention of such a project. Unless you are referring to the DIY approach the article suggests.
