Andy Pausch (of Alice fame) -- last lecture

Hi folks. Andy Pausch who headed up the Alice project
which aims to teach 3D animation using Python has gained
additional fame from his "last lecture" where he talks
about being diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer,
and comments on life in general.

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/

You've probably already seen it, but I thought I'd point
out the Python angle. It's a good view to help put things
in perspective. Its one of those internet phenomena.

Oops. It looks like Alice 1.0 was Python; 2.0 is java, but whatever.

Hi, We are planning to have "lecture preparation" discussions in comp3141 at UNSW, where anyone can participate -- not only students taking the subject. There is a heavy python component in this class and I was wondering whether anyone is interested in participating in these discussions. We are looking for both python beginners and experts.

Here is my design to build a cyborg. You just have a search engine, and as the user types in queries to the cyborg, the program searches for the best possible responses. Then a support agent chooses a question. Once the question is chosen the program plays like 20 questions, and the technical support agent can browse through those questions or move backwards and forwards in the nest of 20 questions to pick other answers with the search...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
