It's even more boring: When I share criminal data (usually old movies that are still in copyright), I just put them in an encrypted 7zip archive and upload to google drive, then delete after my friend downloads it.

The Linux version would almost certainly not run on any current Linux. I have a vague memory of trying to run the demo nearly 20 years ago and it failing due to requiring some now-deprecated X11 extension. If you want to try, the Internet A

The problem is Linux is, as he puts it, hard to learn and hard to master. So once I've gone through the learning phase for fun and learned what to do, I really want to just keep using it and not have all my hard work undone at a whim.

Thinking about it, maybe he should start sending invoices to the larger companies. If they're reasonably small and for a product the company does use, finance will just pay them without questioning a thing.

Exactly the list I had when eating as a poor student. I still eat plenty of oats with plain yogurt for breakfast - they are an excellent breakfast food. The great thing is you can also scale their cost to your wallet, i.e. 100g of plain rol

Oh there definitely is some MIDI device out there that will get a buffer overrun from a particular set of just regular note inputs. Maybe 11 notes at once due to the programmer thinking "humans have only 10 fingers, a static array of 1

Making your own GPU sounds intriguing. You could hook up a small ARM computer to the PCI slot and implement a GPU in software. A very slow GPU obviously, but fast enough to decrypt the video frames. I'm not sure if you'll be able

Don't you get the same problem with upgrades with Debian? As for Wayland, seeing the progress over the last 17 years, I estimate it will be ready for regular use sometime during the 41st millennium.

For MSVC you have to add "/Oi", otherwise it is always a function call at lower optimisation levels. Clang and GCC treat it as an intrinsic always, even in debug builds.

It would be better if compilers were fixed. Current treatment of UB is insane. The default should be no UB and a pragma that lets you turn it on for specific parts. That used to be the case and some of the world's most performant softw

What is stopping LineageOS from supporting (or faking support for) attestation?

This is a general Linux distro problem, which is entirely self-inflicted. The distro should only carry the software for the OS itself and any applications for the user should come with all their dependencies, like on Windows. Yes, it kind o

Normal people care about music theory as much as they care whether you use jemalloc vs tcmalloc. "Easy listening" is a much more useful everyday definition for them than whatever musicians may want it to be.

I honestly think right-to-left text rendering should never have been a thing. Text should always be stored left-to-right and right-to-left languages should be supported by the text editor itself. That is, when the user enters a character fr

It's a question of usefulness. If in your problem domain "1+2=7" is the most useful definition, then by all means do that. Why does the semicolon terminate statements and not the universally agreed upon period? Why does the p

Code with types on the right like this makes me very sad static auto create(const char* data) -> Result<String> Types are a lot more ergonomic on the left - the return type of a function and the type of a variable are

I may be remembering totally wrong, but isn't the algorithm used in Slug patented?

Meanwhile, pleasant debugging on Windows: 1. Open Visual Studio But to be a bit less snarky, it's a real shame that projects in the Open-Source / GNU / Linux space can't build on past successes and keep rewriting things.

What about using a linked list for variables added after the start of the process, which can be implemented atomically? Then once it gets "too long", a thread executing setenv could construct a new hashmap and replace the pointer

Yes, I set up environment variables in a plugin that are later read by already started worker threads. It's not a problem for me because the worker threads are all sleeping on a runqueue, but technically I do want to set an env var in

To be honest I don't see why they don't use the existing IPC mechanism created for Android - binder and ashmem. It has been tested and developed in real world scenarios for over a decade by now.

You are getting downvoted, but you're absolutely correct. This is the usual disposition of Unix devs in general I've found. People forever stuck in the mentality that the computer is a personal toy, only for running your code and

Oh yeah once they started cracking down I stopped watching any mainstream movies, music, etc., especially not anything less than 10 years old. You miss out on a banger here and there, but it's a lot safer.

This is something the compiler can provide better than a library. I would go one step farther and ask for full Lisp-style macros in C. Let me generate code that can't be expressed with the basic C syntax. Then I can extend the type sys
