Their definition of 'flat' is certainly not 'flat!'

I sometimes say bad words when thinking of Euclid.
If he hadn't been messing with space, we would think of space as having two large circular dimensions and one small linear.
Then we would have handled string theory without any problems. And the universe as well.

“This has not been tested outside of my lab environment,” the Github user wrote. “It was written quickly and needs some work to be more reliable. Sometimes you BSOD. Using this for any purpose other than self education is an extremely bad idea. Your computer will burst in flames. Puppies will die.” Thanks pal, for giving the bad guys the wood to make more fire...
I can understand the "cool, look what I found, I am a genius" feeling of many "researchers" or "basement guys" but on the other hand... they could be a bit more discrete, damn it.

First, I wasn't using "basement guy / girl" n an insulting way, they are very often the most brilliant. I can stand corrected and if I was taken as offensive, then apologize for it, I have no problem with that.
Second, I didn't know who the github belongs to or who she is. I have done a fast check and she is a malware researcher. Perfect, she usually helps. I can stand corrected here too, but...Quote: The result of the newly released exploit is that it increases the chances of attackers developing worms that work remotely.
I still think the publishing should go a bit more discrete than that.

I closed the previous post, I am not sure she would want her identity revealed/discussed on a public forum.

I suppose not, that's why the GitHub was under a nick and only with those two projects.

Your development team is ready to hire a new software tester. What questions can you ask in the job interview that (a) are not lame and (b) actually help you determine if this job applicant is qualified? Not, 'If you test a parachute, what colour is it?'

How long will it take until we get the new wave of "XX Answers for an ZZZ interview" articles here in CP?

"When was the last time you were ever held to account for a bug that went live?"

One of my life’s traumas is the bug trackers, the issue trackers, the project management tools. The toolset that completes the version control log to form the development equivalent of double-entry bookkeeping. We're going to need more Post-It! notes

What goes on in the minds of programmers when they write software? It's almost like they should call them programming *languages*. Who knew?

That's why programmers can't communicate while writing code...

Plenty just can't communicate, period

More human-readable, like VB tried 30 years ago?
If anything, you see that languages are becoming harder to read, with statements like "elif" instead of "else if" or "fn"/"fun" instead of "function" because it's shorter and saves keystrokes.
Other than that we all just want our C-syntax.
If I look at four newer languages that are also quite popular, Go (2009), Rust (2010), Kotlin (2011) and Swift (2014), you'll see they all have C-syntax.

Quote: you'll see they all have C-syntax.
At least that's better than "they all have COBOL syntax".

I use a lot of spacial and mental visualisation to map code out.
Chunking code makes sense to me
How would this study compare with a maths problem?
