Some tasks require a large amount of code or a complex system to be comprehended before the correct modification can be discovered and implemented. Surgical programming is a way to systematically approach these tasks. Step 0: Anesthetize yourself
In a world first - I actually correctly spelled anesthetize first try, without looking it up. It's a merry coal!

When the surgeon is anesthetized, who is going to operate on the patient(code)?
|
|

|

As long as the surgeon gets paid...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Cryptocurrencies tumble in wake of global stock sell-off, proposed Russian crypto ban. What goes up...
As hard as that is to believe for the true believers. But then I just don't understand crypto.

First, there is a mountain. Then, there is no mountain. Then there is.
The difficult we do right away...

But if no one is here to see the mountain, is there a mountain?

Microsoft announced that it is rolling out the Windows 10 November 2021 update, also called Windows 10 21H2, to Windows 10 20H2 devices as an exercise to train its Machine Learning (ML)-assisted Windows Update Rollout model. A secret look at the "model": if win.version < 2111 {force-update();}

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

They should version the machine learning model as 2-4-19-13. And then keep it there.

Microsoft quietly shipped Visual Studio 2022 v17.1 Preview 3 with enhancements to web tools. They were so excited, they forgot to tell us about it

Project Iris may be the name of the effort. I thought they cancelled that already?

Curiosity breeds creativity. The demand for creative software solutions is constant, but curiosity comes and goes. Only PEEK at your code

Don't look at other people's code. It's a curiosity killer. I'm actually quite serious.
