dr 🛠️🛰️📡🎧:blobfoxcomputer:The younger <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/cs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cs</a> peeps in the fam took a brute-force approach (including the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> double-major for some reason). With a string this long, that's going to take FOREVER.I've felt all along that just thinking about how English works and looking at word lengths should almost solve this problem.For instance, the string starts with A abcdd dddeeee E...Assuming capitalization was preserved, that E has to be I.There are other grammar constraints. The 5- and 7- letter words can't be both nouns, for instance. They most likely are I <adverb> <adjective> I...or A <adjective> <noun> I....Looking at some English corpora datasets, it looks like my best bets are I never thought I...or [this example left blank bc the website I need is down for maintenance]The next step is probably to look at ...oooo prss sstt tttt...Four 4-letter words in a row. That has to have some verbs + helpers in it. Like "have also gone" or "have been then". Gonna use <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#google</a> ngram 4-grams to figure out what's most likely.More possibilities may occur after this or maybe brute force from those seeds will work better.

myrmepropagandistIt’s always tempting to throw everything away, “start from scratch” rather than depend on the idiosyncrasies of Other People’s Code. But, simply by having been in use for a long time, code gains battle-worn honor: you can’t ever really know all the adaptations it possesses. That the code is still used is the strongest evidence it’s well-matched to the task. By writing your own solution you risk learning lessons embedded in the legacy code’s structure (without comment) the hard way. <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/code" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#code</a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/CS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CS</a>

amen zwa, esq.My advice to young <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CS</a> practitioners: you can't master everything in the field, so specialise in one area; but you can't focus solely in one area, so you must study all other areas to a sufficient depth. In other words, don't get pigeon-holed into one speciality, and don't get spread thin all over the field either. Use your speciality as the home base and branch out into subfields afar, but without losing sight of from whence you came and to where you're heading.
