"Software research is a train wreck," says Hillel Wayne, a Chicago-based software consultant who specialises in formal methods, instancing the received wisdom that bugs are way more expensive to fix once software is deployed. Wayne did some research, noting that "if you Google 'cost of a software bug' you will get tons of articles that say 'bugs found in requirements are 100x cheaper than bugs found in implementations.' They all use this chart from the 'IBM Systems Sciences Institute'... There'

Debugging is often an undervalued skill. It’s not really taught in schools (as far as I know), instead, you kind of have to pick it up as you go along. Today, I’ll try to remedy that by looking at some common bugs and what to do about them. The default strategy I use with any bug is to: Try to find a way of reliably reproducing the bug so that I can break into the debugger when the bug happens and step through the code line by line to see how what it is doing differs from what I think it shoul

The issue appears to only affect some beta users and is not widespread.

Despite Apple reversing its stance on console emulators in the App Store a year ago, GameCube and Wii emulators have largely remained absent from the iPhone and iPad — until now, perhaps. The team behind DolphiniOS previously explained that Apple’s restrictions on apps using just-in-time (JIT) compilation made it virtually impossible to run GameCube and Wii titles on iOS.

From "vibe" coding to GitHub Copilot to startups building quick-and-dirty applications with support from LLMs, AI is already deeply integrated.
