It's unbelievable that the average human being has access to the lectures of some of the best universities in the world for free. 31 hours of in-depth mathematics by some of the be…

This reminds me of Asimov's Jokester story where the same themes are explored - there is an all-knowing computer but someone needs to ask the correct questions. "Early in the histo…

This fallacy also assumes that free will exists (it does not) and you could have made different choices (you couldn't have). Accepting that your choices are not free and are influe…

The bug in question was a out of bounds writing to a stack allocated buffer. The compiler would choose to store some variables to registers for optimization purposes. When calling …

Those are the kind of bugs one remembers for life.

And then there are those rare cases where inserting a print or a new condition to use for conditional breakpoint forces the compiler to output slightly different code which does no…

This sketch is a gem, I liked it! It is absolutely correct - people can and will divide if this is their goal. Sadly this mass social disintegration on all levels affects negativel…

The ranges mentioned are in BGN. Nobody will pay 1.5k - 2.5k EUR to a junior. source: I work there Also this: https://noblehire.io/salary-survey-2021/

This is why I believe there should be no downvote at all. Or there should be a way to see which posts are the most controversial instead of hiding them. When someone disagrees with…

Yes, this is it, thank you for providing the source, it was an interesting read.

Great work! I liked how well the vintage look and the modern core fit. I'm not sure where I read it but it was stated that the Geiger counters which are manufactured after the Cher…

Sure but they are not in a public git repo and I think the public has the right to see the full story. The police are the easiest target right now but those people who take advanta…

Now all we need is a similar repo for the looting and memorial vandalism.

Can memory safety be ensured in the C programming language? By static analysis at compile time for example?
