Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has restarted the Android 15-based One UI 7 rollout for the Galaxy S24 series. The rollout has begun in South Korea, and if all goes well, we expect wider availability in the coming weeks. However, concerns remain about a lock screen bug that was said to be the reason for stopping the rollout before, which is apparently present in this build too, when it was being beta tested. After months of anticipation, several rounds of beta, and one failed ro

In context: Some industry experts boldly claim that generative AI will soon replace human software developers. With tools like GitHub Copilot and AI-driven "vibe" coding startups, it may seem that AI has already significantly impacted software engineering. However, a new study suggests that AI still has a long way to go before replacing human programmers.

There are few areas where AI has seen more robust deployment than the field of software development. From "vibe" coding to GitHub Copilot to startups building quick-and-dirty applications with support from LLMs, AI is already deeply integrated. However, those claiming we're mere months away from AI agents replacing most programmers should adjust their expectations because models aren't good enough at the debugging part, and debugging occupies most of a developer's time.

A few years ago, a lone programmer named t0st did something extraordinary: he fixed an 8-year-old bug in GTA Online that had been driving players crazy. The bug? Painfully long load times, sometimes up to 20 minutes. While the single-player mode loaded in seconds. His solution was elegant: a 13-line code tweak that cut load times by 70%. Rockstar Games, the studio behind GTA, rewarded him with a $10,000 bounty and patched the game. Problem solved, right? Not quite. The internet erupted with cr

A Debugger is a REPL is a Debugger I love debuggers! The last time I used a debugger seriously was in 2017 or so, when I was still coding in Kotlin. I’ve since switched to working with native code, and, sadly gdb and lldb are of almost no help for me. This is because they are mere “debuggers”, but what I need is a REPL, and a debugger, all in one. In this article I show a more productive way to use debuggers as REPLS. The trick boils down to two IntelliJ IDEA features, Run to Cursor and Quick

When I was on the Google Docs team, we did a weekly bug triage where we’d look for new issues and randomly assign them to teammates to investigate. One week, we had a new top error by a wide margin. It was a fatal error. This means that it prevented the user from editing without reloading. It didn’t correspond to a Google Docs release. The stack trace added very little information. There wasn’t an associated spike in user complaints, so we weren’t even sure it was really happening — but if it w
