There is also a completely different scenario where out-of-bounds writes aren't undefined behavior anymore. And that's when you've manually defined the arrays in an assembly source file, and exported their symbols. In that

Yeah, the problem with centralized hosting is that the host can go down. Something like IPFS/IPNS could act as a decentralized backup plan.

My "bad experience" with MSYS2 was when I misunderstood how the different environments were set up. There are several different environments , each with their own different and incompatible set of packages. When you run "mi

The worst is if you have a registered Shell Extension that lives on a network drive (true story).

The control used is a ListBox, and not a ListView, because we're dealing with pre-Windows 95 software here. As a consequence, you can't use Ctrl+Arrow Keys to move the selection, and Space to toggle selection for a file. Yet you

Whatever you end up doing on the NES would end up not being a website anymore. You want to interface with joystick port 1? Not TCP/IP anymore. Whatever gateway you would use to connect to the custom protocol would have a lot more oo

To this day, some programs malfunction after 2^31 milliseconds have passed since bootup, which is the halfway point. Milliseconds since bootup has just become negative, and has not rolled over yet. Just having a negative number of millis

Star Fox was made mainly by Argonaut Software, including the development of the Super FX chip. Only the scenario and characters were from Nintendo. Donkey Kong Country was all Rare, except for use of the Donkey Kong character. If you look

Are LORAs also bound by the same restrictions as sending complete finetuned models?

Atari Corp and Atari Games were separate companies by the time the NES was released. Atari Corp was responsible for the consoles and computers, while Atari Games did the arcade games. Atari Games used the name "Tengen" for all ho

It was true in 2023, but I haven't found any updates on the story since then. It was sending a request to the domain "bingapis.com" with HTTP referer of the current page. Thus, sending your URL to Microsoft. It was a featur

Microsoft Edge sends every URL you visit to Microsoft. Hard pass.

When I was trying to find how close colors are to each other (such as when mapping an image to an existing palette), comparing color distance in YCbCr worked far better than comparing color distance in RGB.

by Dwedit 2y ago
Warning, always convert your colors to from sRGB to Linear RGB before doing any math on them, then convert them back to sRGB afterwards for displaying them. sRGB is the familiar color space you all know and love, it's what your display

You wouldn't want to connect a fresh installation of Windows 2000 to the internet today. "Net Send" and default-on Administrative Shares are some brain-dead design decisions that made sense on a trusted LAN, but not the Inte

Reproducibility is at odds with Profile-Guided-Optimization. Especially on anything that involves networking and other IO that isn't consistent.

There is also "Tetanus On Drugs" on GBA (later renamed Lockjaw: The Overdose), which uses Mode 7-style distortions to simulate the experience of playing Tetris under the influence. I'm not 100% sure of which rule set it uses

I watched enough Tetris 99 streamers to know the basic strategy, you 4-wide when on defense, and T-spin/Tetris when on offense.

There was also a backup system for PCs that used a TV interface card, and you connected your computer to a VCR to hold the data. Data was stored in white scanlines on top of a black background. Probably not the most efficient way to store

Wait, C string literals are not already const? On many platforms, they live in a read-only data section, which is write-protected memory.

In addition to growing pages using VirtualAlloc, it's also possible to have the same memory pages mapped at different locations by using memory mapped 'files' (even when the backing file is just the paging file). This means

You don't need to worry about ransomware destroying the data on your writable DVDs, the discs themselves can do that fine.

Can a CD-R drive force a second pass burning over existing data to make the disc unusable? Perhaps with drive firmware modification.
