Well I'm a Finn and have reported my findings to the FCSC. Zero hassle. The folks at Traficom are a really nice and smart bunch, I have had chats with them face to face a couple of times. They are very well versed when it comes to pote

Having been writing a lot of AWS CDK/IAC code lately, I'm looking at this as the "spec" being the infrastructure code and the implementation being the deployed services based on the infrastructure code. It would be an ab

Hmm but that sounds pretty much like how I currently understand how our brains work. Not sure how factual this is, but I remember watching a video about how our brains essentially lie to us. I think there was a ping pong example in the vide

I'm Finnish and in in Finnish we translate "call" in function context as "kutsua", which when translated back into English becomes "invite" or "summon". So at least in Finnish the word "call

My 5 cents would be that LLMs have replaced all those random (e.g. CSS, regex etc) generators, emmet-like IDE code completion/generator tools, as well as having to google for arbitrary code snippets which you'd just copy and paste

This to me seems like one of those things that makes me think why is this considered such a problem that it needs a "proper" solution like this. If I have a function written in TS which takes a string type parameter called a hash.

Isn't the whole point of the term "invariant" that it describes something as unchanging under specific circumstances. e.g. The sum of the angles of triangles is 180 degrees in the context of euclidean geometry. However, if we

Surely their research is not about shipping broken software though, then your goals would be in conflict. I suppose your point is that the researcher's goal in not exactly to ship working software either, but wouldn't that put the

I've been following a data science course called "The Data Science Course 2023: Complete Data Science Bootcamp" at Udemy. The course starts all the way back from basic statistics and goes through things like linear regression

On another note, I think something like this should come with some kind of zero knowledge proof of the future encrypted thing being what it is claimed to be, so that one doesn't have to wait for a long time just for the secret to encry

I don't know if I disagree with this, but this reminded me about one thing that for some reason stuck to my mind once. It was about statistics and probabilities. I think I was talking with ChatGPT about superpositions or something and

I've began to question the complexity of many of these paradoxes I run into these days. In this case, isn't this just a matter of the definition of a "heap of sand"? The article seems to sort of forget to define a heap a

I totally get it, when I think of it from a privacy and personal security point of views. With wikipedia, it really is a sort of "He who controls the information, controls the world" type of scenario. Imagine being a Wikipedia adm

Hasn't no one tried to approach this with AI? I'd figure it wouldn't be too hard to record couple of hundred of hours of different kinds of fires burning, maybe "re-encode" / transform all the frames from pixel

The process of aggregating and formatting searchable information from many sources. When you simply Google something, you're presented with blogs, articles, stackoverflow pages, github repositories, documentation, ... you're still

Makes me think if survivorship bias (or similar) applies here. While it's not fun to see LP having a lot of incidents in its history, maybe those could be viewed as something that has made LP stronger over the years? I'd be more w

I'll go ahead and say that a sprinkle of humor would help a lot here. If a coworker comes to you with a problem that is trivial to you, it shouldn't be a problem in the first place for you to say "Oh just do X". The prob

Thought someone might say this! You're right. At the risk of sounding kind of hypocritical, after a decently long career in software engineering, I've learned that some carefully chosen future proofing is one of the things that ma

Wtf. If your use-case is that the user can select the crust, sauce, cheese and toppings for a pizza, just pass that shit to the make_pizza function with the help of enums and arrays. If you want to have predefined pizzas, you'd simply

Well, we already have more than enough ways to pay for stuff digitally and most of them are already very easy to use, very fast and secure enough. Therefore I think it's relatively safe to say that blockchains, at least for payments, i

Aren't the collision models already pretty simple as is? Simple shapes like boxes, spheres and lines, for which the collisions are fast to calculate. Don't know how it works if you have full blown meshes colliding though...
