OpenAI sees the feat as a leap forward both for the dexterity of robotic appendages and its own AI software, which allows Dactyl to learn new tasks using virtual simulations before it is presented with a real, physical challenge to overcome. Keep doing that and it will go blind

Or is this about swapping the values of two variables without using a third?
(I had that one on an interview once)

For numeric types:
int i = 1;
int j = 2;
i = i + j;
j = i - j;
i = i - j
Also works for a mix of positive and negative numbers.
For characters:
char y = 'a';
char z = 'b';
y = (char)((int)y+(int)z);
z = (char)((int)y-(int)z);
y = (char)((int)y-(int)z);
You can use the same general approach with characters by casting them to int first. For strings:
string a = "Hello";
string b = "World";
a = a + b;
b = a.Substring(0,a.Length - b.Length);
a = a.Substring(b.Length);

If you're using a recent version of C# - and assuming magic hidden behind-the-scenes compiler generated variables don't count - then it's a simple one-liner for any type:
(j, i) = (i, j);
Of course, once you peer behind the curtain, the magic hidden variables are revealed, which show that it's less efficient than using a single extra variable:
int i = 1;
int j = 2;
int num = i;
int num2 = j;
j = num;
i = num2;

"Willoughby-Hoye" scripts used OS call that caused incorrect measurements on Linux, Mojave The new equivalent of "my dog ate my homework"
Right. It was the code that lead to your study being wrong. OK, Poindexter.
I'm slightly surprised they didn't try to blame it on Windows 10 getting the values right.

"The glob module finds all the pathnames matching a specified pattern according to the rules used by the Unix shell, although results are returned in arbitrary order."
I'm not sure if you can actually say that "arbitrary order" being different on different platforms is a bug in the OS code. This is just a case of someone writing code that takes an unordered set and assuming it will always be the same order.

Since our initial announcement in 2015, we’ve added occasional new games here and there to the collection, but this will be our biggest update yet, ranging from tiny recent independent productions to long-forgotten big-name releases from decades ago. Tomorrow's newsletter will be delayed
Secret of Monkey Island!
MS Flight Simulator
Bard's Tale
Ultima Underworld
Seven Cities of Gold
So much of my early years wasted (and now to waste again)

The vulnerability in question is a sudo security policy bypass issue that could allow a malicious user or a program to execute arbitrary commands as root on a targeted Linux system even when the "sudoers configuration" explicitly disallows the root access. I guess they will make me a sandwich after all.

Habitual tea drinking was associated with greater functional connectivity in the default mode network. Findings suggest tea drinking has a positive contribution to brain structure and a protective effect on age-related decline in brain organization. How about Long Island Iced Tea? Can I stick with that?

If I warm rum and then I put some leaves of mint... does it count as tee?

I agree. Although I was surprised by the sorting results. And I like his implementation of Split().

Well, I, for one, I use to love the "-->" operator when doing plain old vanilla C (no ++)

Great 5 problems of mankind have now the "challenge solved" state.
And I learned about the "-->" operator.
