How does this compare to something like Coverity and the various static analysis tools? For example, can it learn to pick up general printf bugs, or is it limited to the patterns it can see from existing code. Does it learn from good code as well as bad code?

It will vary from engine to engine. The simplest way to handle it is the same way as other punctuation/symbol/unicode characters are spoken. That is, match against the character (or character sequences for the gender/skin tone markers) and speak the specified replacement text. For example: +...

There are two sets of data that are used. The first is the emoji data files in the Unicode Character Database (UCD) files [1], while the second is the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) [2]. The UCD files are used for determining how to process the emoji codepoints, but also provide grouping...

At a simplistic level, yes, HTML rendering is a solved problem. That does not mean that there isn't room for improvement, such as taking advantage of GPU capabilities to improve rendering like what Firefox Quantum is working on. HTML is not the only part of a rendering engine. The rendering...

You can design web pages that don't kill the battery. You can do things like specify the size of an image in the HTML so the page can be displayed without having to recalculate the layout when the image is loaded. You don't need AMP to do this. You can design web browsers such that they render...

Spin is a property that is inherent to particles, that has strange behaviour when observing it (the equally likely up or down if neither case). No system of particles I know about (atoms, molecules, etc.) has a property with a similar behaviour. As such, there are no equivalent expriments you...

The new emoji/Unicode need updates to the various fonts in order to display the new Unicode symbols. The keyboards need updating to recognise and handle the emoji in the different selection groups (human, hand, vehicles, etc.). The Unicode processing libraries that handle upper/lower/title...

Category 2 (96-110 mph, and Category 1 74-95 mph to a lesser extent) will still cause extensive damage (esp. roof, tree, and power line damage). As others have mentioned, it is predicted to sit off the coast for over 24 hours, causing rain and storm surge to batter the coast line, resulting in...

How do you transliterate the other script to Latin? The first problem is that there can be multiple ways of transliterating characters, so you end up with the possibility of spoofing websites by registering alternative transliterations. The second problem is that some transliterations for...

Is it possible to use this to reformulate General Relativity (GR) in terms of Quantum Mechnics (QM)? Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is IIRC a reformulation of Maxwell's equations for electromagentism in terms of QM that includes Special Relativity (SR). Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) builds on QED...

It's easy to see why people would be cheesed off by this. There is no need to make rash decisions, then wash your hands of the consequences. That would taint the love and energy that goes into making and marc-eting a product like this. It's the cream of the crop for jounalists wanting to milk...

I think part of the problem is to do with a sense of mystery and wonder. With the original series, you did not know what a Jedi was to begin with, what the different aliens were, where R2-D2 and CP-3PO came from, etc. Over time, you learned more about things like the Jedi and the force, but...

Is there a way to disable/hide the sidebar with the calendar, keep, and task icons? I don't like it taking up a chunk of the right edge.

The filter rules apply the operations to the matching conditions. There is nothing in a label structure preventing the filter that applies the label to also have an "encrypt this email" option. Likewise, there is nothing in labels preventing there being additional actions like encrypting, or...

I have a lot of labels for different things, with some emails being tagged with multiple labels through filters. As such, folders will not work for me as an email can only have one folder, but can have multiple labels. What problems would folders solve that labels currently do not? What...

PCs exist in part because the BIOS of competitors were API compatible with IBM's computer's BIOS. Microsoft became big in part because their MS-DOS implementation was compatible with CP/M, and later DR DOS. A lot of the Unix-based operating systems (including Solaris, Linux, Mac OSX, and the BSD...

The more complex things you try and do, things where you can't easily draw on past experiences (like designing a standard car engine), the harder it is to get right, the longer it takes, and the more money it takes. Combining different complex things together is even harder as there are...

They probably did it that way to release the feature early. It was likely that the Excel code was heavily tied into the MDI model that it wasn't easy to rearchitect. That then provides the feature early, and allows them to untangle the code over multiple releases.

The paint colour names are hilarious as well. Mix a touch of Mennin Black and Red Dit :).
