This is true, but a lot of the top positions are being replaced with unqualified loyalists. It's only a matter of time, if this continues, that the competent workforce gets eroded
My code wasn't written to be hard to decipher, and it wasn't a goal to get everything on one line by any stretch, I just didn't like an if with regext was 2 lines minimum in python, it felt inelegant for a language that is pretty elegant in general
I liked perl, it was the first language I used daily as a HW engineer. When I moved to python more recently what I missed the most was how easy it was to do a one liner if with regex capturing. That couldn't be done in python for a long time. I think the walrus operator helps, but it's still not quite as concise, but it's closer
I heard last year the potential future of gaming is not rendering but fully AI generated frames. 3 seconds per 'frame' now, it's not hard to believe it could do 60fps in a few short years. It makes it seem more likely such a game could exist. I'm not sure I like the idea, but it seems like it could happen
I didn't understand the background before the explanation, but afterwards I did. Inl walked me through the mathematical steps and each was logical and ok to follow if you have a basic calculus knowledge.
It was. I asked it to give more details on parts of the derivation I didn't quite follow and it did that. Overall it was able to build from the ground up to the solution and solve it both numerically and analytically (for smaller values of x)
I just had chatgpt explain that problem to me (I was unfamiliar with the mathematical background). It showed how to solve closed form answers for H(2) and H(3) and then numerical solutions using RK4 for higher values. Truly impressive, and it explained the derivations beautifully. There are few maths experts I've encountered who could have hand-held me through it as good.
This makes sense, but what does not make sense is who tested this 'ultimate mode', I mean they went to the trouble of adding a physical hardware switch on the motherboard for this, surely when testing there was some kind of benchmark or comparison to show this feature was an advantage. Maybe they don't test, or they have 'internal firmware' that is not what the user gets, but it's a serious fail either way.
I setup a small wisp using mikrotik kit for a few neighbours, it worked well in the end, but the learning curve was immense unless you have a strong networking background. I'd setup and used openwrt before for a domestic router and this was another level of complexity to get basically functional compared to that. Thst said the level of customizabilty and scripting (albeit in a weird language) you can do is immense, so for a true power user with a lot of time on their hands, it's a good option
Delighted to see strncat there, it's a buffer overflow waiting to happen, especially as the name sounds like it's the 'safer version' where it takes a size argument, except it's not the size of the destination buffer, it's the remaining size, so unless you know this, it's wrong for every non empty buffer. strlcat (not standard) operates how you expect.
