This is explained in the article in a bit more detail. The point is not that the type system does something with the actual value - the point is that it would be impossible to create any code that results in such a…
I don't see the headline as misleading at all. There are two type systems in Java: the JVM's run-time type system, and Java's compile time type system. It's the latter that has been shown to be unsound. As the paper…
After interviewing many more and less experienced programmers (and asking most of them if they can explain a hash table - just for statistics!), I concur that most cannot. There were quite some people that thought trees…

Of course, another question is: will the AI's consider us humans to have the equivalent of their consciousness? Or will they think "These humans don't not really possess consciousness, they just exhibit a crude…

True - which is why they did the cream as well. At the very least, this study tells us that the mindfulness meditation is a 'more effective' placebo than the cream. It's very hard do really do in a 'double blind' way -…
Yeah, the original Eternity puzzle (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternity_puzzle) was a lot better in that regard - it spiked a whole online community focused on finding clever ways to find a solution, and was in…
Integer overflow?
Having played on (and heard people play on) a pBone, I'd have to say that even though it's quite impressive to see what they've been able to do with just plastic, it's still quite some way off from being a 'quality'…
That seems like a false sense of safety: when doing arithmetic, your program is most likely not going to be handling overflows correctly anyway. Also, when using unsigned ints, any code involving subtractions can lead…
In firefox: Preferences -> Advanced -> enable "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page". Other browsers will probably have similar options.
I think when smaller companies have patents, they tend to be closely related to their core business, and they have them precisely in order to use them 'offensively' - or, in other words, to protect their core business…
Wording is a bit sloppy: "Extending R (the inner while loop) takes at most a total of N steps, and positioning and testing each centers take a total of N steps too. Therefore, this algorithm guarantees to finish in at…

> Will Windows run on it? Well... Yeah. Windows runs on everything powered by an x86 processor. I've tried installing Windows 7 on an old Dell laptop a while ago. I got it working eventually, but had to hunt around for…
A button to execute a single instruction would also be nice.
In fact, the animation draws attention away from the text, which you are probably supposed to read (otherwise, why bother with an alert). I really don't understand this infatuation with distracting unnecessary…
No, we don't want that. A while ago there was even a headline here that boils down to 'Illegality will not be punishable'. This was about people residing in the country illegally. Everyone understands the headline…
Mine was 'REDO FROM START' :-)
The answer to your '(is it?)' is 'No!', english is just the language of the programming culture that we are part of. And that is the whole point of this article; there already is a lot of programming culture that we…
To add some reasons why you'd want to learn CUDA first: It turns out that simple things are a lot simpler, and take a lot less code, in Cuda than OpenCL. With Cuda, your kernel and host code will be close together in…
Perhaps your intuition changes if you think about the line (in a plane) coinciding with the x-axis. Don't you think it is reasonable to define that line as the set of points (in the plane) having y=0? Also, should that…
Small fun bug: if you click twice on an item, the description at the bottom shows 'git null' :)
