@overexchange It is important to realize that Stack Exchange isn't a tutorial service. The Q&A is really badly designed for trying to get across the concepts needed for dense communication of "this is how you program"

Sounds good. And thank you again for all of your efforts with this. It's appreciated. False positives are a minor nuisance in comparison to being able to stop the bad site recommendations.

I've made @Duga listen to "software" now as well, to pick up comments after the name change. She isn't really trained on that yet so expect a bunch of irrelevant comments.

Have you ever tried to deploy an application using the "NASA Mars rover control model"? By which I mean, you can't touch the system but only instruct someone to do so and wait for a day to receive a reply? And the actual control chain from you giving the instructions to the one that will perform them works like the Chinese Whispers game....

It would be really helpful for @Duga if someone helped me create a new training set with comments of this form with the new site name. '1' for true classification and '0' for false classification.

@AaronHall This is your occasional reminder to please learn more than one language. Paul Graham introduced the Blub Paradox, arguing that some languages are more powerful than others and programmers in an inferior language don't recognize a more powerful one. He concludes that Lisp is the best language. I disagree there, and have found that there's no total order of language expressiveness – different languages have different strengths. There is no absolute best.

Q: Now that 3 close votes has been proven and implemented on Stack Overflow, can we have the same on Software Engineering, please?

I won't belabor the research by repeating it here. It's been described in exhaustive detail at this post. The executive summary: Closing, editing and reopening all become more effective. Can we do the same here?

@Zymus Probably not, sorry. Such questions are open-ended and aren't really answerable. The “right path” is often subjective and opinion-based.

The Whiteboard: Patterns are not building blocks.

posted on September 02, 2016

Patterns are not building blocks. I’ve said it before, and I’ll likely say it again. Patterns are not building blocks. They are not things that you should start off with thinking “I’ll grab a ($diety forbid) Singleton here and a Factory there, hook them up with some XML and I’ll have a working application.” All too often I see new coders thinking this is the way to write code. I’m going to…

@AnonCoward AMD publishes the AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual which is what you're looking for. It documents all potentially available instructions. For microarchitecture-level information, look for the family 17h (Zen/Zen+/Zen 2) documentation. As Eypic 7702 uses the Zen 2 architecture, it supports math extensions up to AVX2.

Q: Follow-Up 2: New Site Name and Scope Proposals

After a discussion today (July 22nd) with Ana and Shog9, we've made some more progress toward a new site name and scope. You can check out the transcript for the full details, but we talked about the purpose for rebranding the site, what we hope to get out of it, a high level scope of the site, a...
