Prolog is for logic what inverse kinematics is for robotics. Where in imperative programming languages you supply arguments to a function and get a result in Prolog you can give the result of a function call and get all argument sets that l

Software engineering is only about 20% writing code (the famous 40-20-40 split). Most people use it only for the first 40%, and very succesfully (im in that camp). If you use it to write your code you can theorettically maybe get 20% time i

Doesn’t this conflate dry-running with integration testing? ASAIK the purpose of a dry-run is to understand what will happen, not to test what will happen. For the latter we have testing.

Yes, but then the GPU needs that amount of ram, so it's fairer to look at the sum of RAM + VRAM requirements. With compressed representations you trade CPU cycles for RAM. To save laptop battery better required copious amounts of RAM (

> Coyuld anyone summarize why a desktop Windows/MacOs now needs so much more RAM than in the past Just a single retina screen buffer, assuming something like 2500 by 2500 pixels, 4 byte per pixel is already 25MB for a single buffer.

I will definitely reads these books when they come out. For a historic overview of mathematics with (accessible) formulas I highly recommend “Journey through genius: The great theorems of mathematics”.

Concurrent programming is hard and has many pitfalls; people are warned about this from the very, very start. If you then go about it without studying proper usage/common pitfalls and do not use (very) defensive coding practices (viola

Maybe the real reason is more related to Price’s law/Pareto’s principle, loosely meaning that 90% of the work is done by 10% of the people. In other words, in large companies most perons do not contribute much, at least not at the same

Anyone knows what does "native" means here precisely? Steam Deck has a x86-64 instruction set AFAIK, so it's just same as a the Windows version? Or has it to do with the GPU / OS? Or does it just mean "properly con

It’s a clever trick. But can it render a textured text? Transparent text, gradient fills? Maybe it can, I dont know. But why not just triangulate the glyph shapes, and represent each glyph as a set of triangles. This triangulation can be do

I wonder, in reality, if a Lua program uses large (consecutive) arrays, its values will likely have the same type? At the very least it is a common use-case: large arrays of only strings, numbers etc. Wouldn’t it make sense to (also) optim

I don’t find your “seasoned developer” version ugly at all. It just looks more mature and relaxed. It also has the benefits that you can actually do error handling and have space to add comments. Maybe people don’t like it because of the re

The main reason for bloat not mentioned in the article is that most developers are not interested in the business domain of the company they are working for. They just want to do stuff with computers and software. Which leads to adding stuf

Regarding the immediate effect I am sure your point is valid. But it’s also a bit of a cynical point of view, wouldn’t you say? People make these statements and pursue these personal lifestyle decisions because of their dreams for a better
