Ah, yes, Gecode: the ultimate solution for when you want to solve #constraints but also have an overwhelming desire to spend your life buried in #C++ code. 🤦‍♂️ Because nothing screams "fun" and "efficiency" quite like reinventing the wheel with #modular #extensibility and branching strategies. 🚀 Enjoy your quest for constraint-based nirvana, brave coder!

The more we can deliver, the more resources we consume.
Animals "use efficiency to catalyze sprawl. […] The road to degrowth will require drastic social change."

Friendgineers: Engineering is all about balancing constraints, both physical and non-physical. The domain doesn't matter. Software engineering is just as much engineering as as designing a building or a bridge.

What do you get if you combine #grammars, #constraints, #evolutionary algorithms, and #Python in one? A mighty fuzzer! Check out our latest #FANDANGO work, to appear at #ISSTA2025:

Good one.

“Beginning #programmers are often so eager to accomplish the first part of that definition—writing a #program to perform a certain #task—that they fail on the second part of the definition, meeting the stated #constraints.

I call a program like that, one that appears to produce correct results but breaks one or more of the stated rules, a #KobayashiMaru.”🖖🏻 — #VAntonSpraul

@CurrentBiology

"The structure of avian #morphospace follows relatively simple rules defined by ecophysical constraints and trade-offs, but evolution trends toward specialized extremes, where extinction risk may increase"
