Just Stuff From Woody
At the heart of every genetic algorithm lies the concept of evolution, and at the heart of evolution lies DNA. For software developers, the equivalent building blocks are chromosomes and genes. If we want...
It has come to my attention recently that many good folks have grown anxious over this new contrivance known as Artificial Intelligence. They eye these ingenious machines with suspicion, fearing we might soon become...
At their core, genetic algorithms are built on five foundational principles that closely resemble biological evolution: 1. Genes and Chromosomes...
What if you could write code that evolves? Not just code that runs, but code that iteratively improves its own solutions to complex problems without requiring you to handcraft every edge case. That’s the...
What if your code could evolve like life itself—adapting, optimizing, and learning over time? Welcome to the AI-inspired world of Genetic Algorithms, where we blend evolution with code to solve complex problems cleverly.
Starting this...
Day 42, and here we are. Six weeks of learning Rust from the perspective of a C# developer. We covered the basics, wrestled with ownership, danced with traits and lifetimes, and shipped a working...
Welcome to Day 41, and we are almost done! Today, we are putting Rust’s performance reputation to the test. Rust has a reputation for being fast. But how fast? If you have been living...
Day 40, and today we are looking at how to package and release your Rust CLI app. You have written the code, added argument parsing, handled the logic, and even written tests. Now it...
Onward to Day 39. Today, we're discussing testing in Rust. If you are a C# developer, you have probably spent time with xUnit, NUnit, or MSTest. You know the usual or attributes...
