Identifier Name Similarities: An Exploratory Study
Identifier names, which comprise a significant portion of the codebase, are the cornerstone of effective program comprehension. However, research has shown that poorly chosen names can significantly increase cognitive load and hinder collaboration. Even names that appear readable in isolation may lead to misunderstandings in contexts when they closely resemble other names in either structure or functionality. In this exploratory study, we present our preliminary findings on the occurrence of id…

Reinforcement Learning Increases Wind Farm Power Production by Enabling Closed-Loop Collaborative Control
Traditional wind farm control operates each turbine independently to maximize individual power output. However, coordinated wake steering across the entire farm can substantially increase the combined wind farm energy production. Although dynamic closed-loop control has proven effective in flow control applications, wind farm optimization has relied primarily on static, low-fidelity simulators that ignore critical turbulent flow dynamics. In this work, we present the first reinforcement learnin…

When the law enforcement is corrupt, the criminals roam free and the law is used to pursue people over personal dislikes. We really want the criminals out of law enforcement.
When the #CodeOfConduct enforcement is corrupt, the truly toxic people roam free and the rules are used to bully people over personal dislikes. Why do we applaud projects for adopting a CoC if they are not pursuing independent judgement?
