I think that'll be the same day as authors are completely obsolete.
I wouldn't call Excel a no-code tool. A formula is sort of code, in my mind.
I'm a bit late to the discussion, but worth mentioning here is that C++ has grown as a language on GitHub for the past 8 years: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2020/3 I think it's mainly due to the…
An interesting read on writing is Stephen King's "On Writing - A Memoir of The Craft": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10569.On_Writing One of the things he mentions in his book is to be judicious in editing your…
I think maybe it would be better if the application showed any erroneously typed characters, rather than the correct characters in red. Or, if it's possible, to show some sort of visual juxtaposition between the two.…
You're probably right, if the main goal is to earn money. Still, it's also like telling Edison that he should quit looking for a commercially feasible design for an electric light bulb. We need both types of…
I think it's interesting to look at his code. I have not worked on games myself, but I've understood that most big game studios write their own versions of STL containers, in order to have close control over each and…
This must be mentioned somewhere in the Book of Revelation, surely.
Another possible trick is to focus on time slots, rather than the task itself. When I procrastinate, it's because the task itself appears too big, too complex (or maybe even too boring) to even start on. The trick,…
I think this has changed. People used to be very particular about how their apps looked on different native platforms, like you say. But I don't think it's like that anymore. People are more agnostic now, when it comes…
He describes stories as 'relics'. Here's a direct quote from the book: “Stories are relics, part of an undiscovered pre-existing world. The writer’s job is to use the tools in his or her toolbox to get as much of each…
A vaguely, but tangentially related fact, is that Stephen King actually considers the stories in his books as discovered, rather than invented. He talks about it in his book 'On Writing'. He considers the stories to be…
Here's the full original print version too: https://archive.org/details/eu_Wired-1995-07_OCR/page/n145/m... Wired Magazine during the years 1995, 1996 and 1997 had something a bit magical about it, the way I remember…

I have at least one close relative that I believe qualifies as a narcissist. My personal conclusion is that it's sort of a trait that you're born with. I think it relates to a lacking ability to pick up on the subtle…
It reads a bit like, my brain is so fast that it's becoming a problem for me. A bit sheldonesque. Anyway, when talking to crowds, I think the main thing is to always remember that it's a two way communication; you say…
Maybe it's worth a try, in order to advance science. But, generally, I think that text synthesis ultimately is one of those problems that we really cannot hope to solve before we've also solved the problem of creating…
I think it's very far off. You can see how this model drifts off into gibberish after only 3 or 4 words. It does not really understand the topic, even within a sentence, and much less within a whole paragraph. For it to…
Not really, julien. If Sergey Brin had told you back in 1998 that he planned to start Google, and to start indexing the web out of his garage, it would not have meant anything. Or if the Wright Brothers had confided in…
Actually much more interesting than i thought it would be. Great effort! :)
Do you know anything about how they're doing this? Is it special content in the http headers of the requests from Google? Or do they explicitly know which IP-addresses Google will be doing it's web crawling from?
Yes, it's important to develop a habit to plan ahead before coding. For anything bigger than small scripts or utilities, you need to do this. On the other hand, there's the eternal conflict between the waterfall model…
A nice idea, but it sounds as if they're not quite able to get the input latency low enough. It needs to be around 3-4ms or less. Here it seems as if it's more in the 10-20ms range, judging from the demonstration…
I think the author is trying too hard to think outside the box here. Sometimes the answer is the obvious answer, inside the box, whether you want it or not.
Just providing an alternative browser to Chrome is a good thing, in my opinion. Especially now that Microsoft also has caved in. I think it would be bad if Chrome where to have even less competition than it has today.…
