(New to this series? Consider starting from part 1) At the end of the last post, DbgRs could finally set breakpoints. That was the last really critical feature needed for controlling execution of a program. Now that it can stop on an arbitrary function or code location, the next step is to find more...

Little seems to have changed in CPU cores in M3 chips, if you read reviews. Dig a bit deeper and there are major changes, as explained here.
One of the fundamental challenges in software engineering is managing and minimizing complexity. This challenge is not just a theoretical concern; it has real and tangible impacts on the pace of development.
AUSTIN, Texas — Scientists have discovered that bacteria can create something like memories about when to form strategies that can cause dangerous
Sitting alongside the neurons in your enteric nervous system are underappreciated glial cells, which play key roles in digestion and disease that scientists are only just starting to understand.
The most powerful companies in the world are shaping what artificial intelligence will become—but they’ll never get it right without the ethos and values of university scientists.
A "comprehensive investigation" into the loss of a tiny radioactive capsule, which sparked a frantic search in WA's outback and an unprecedented public health warning, concludes without any charges being laid or fines issued.
There are some pretty wild takes here. I fully support his freedom to code in whatever style he wants to but a few of these are very un-idiomatic and will make it harder for anyone else to understand his code. eg. I do see some older C code which uses custom names for the standard integer types, but most of it's trying to solve legacy windows portability annoyances, not just redefine the world for the sake of personal taste. I'd hope that modern code wouldn't do that. He might like it but it just increases friction for anyone else working on his code.
There are some poorly thought out takes too: "const doesn't help with optimisation so I don't use it". const isn't there for optimisation, it's there to expose bugs in memory handling. This is basically a statement that he refuses to use best practices for avoiding bugs.
