I have never seen him code, but I personally spoke with weev a number of times while he was a regular at a (in)famous SF hackerspace. He demonstrated a thorough familiarity with ptmalloc internals, enough to correct someone else's rema

tcc is neat software and I used it for some time almost exclusively for "-run", but after many years I ultimately replaced it with a small shell rc-function for compiling, linking and running a C/C++/x86/etc. file

In the past, I have actually about the historical education of several people who went to school between 1985-2009 and no one I've met has had any education of history past reconstruction covered in primary & secondary education (o

just ordinary virtual function that discriminates upon arguments (at compile-time).

I was thinking of runtime single dispatch with compile-time type of the arguments to that function.

by ZephyrP 9y ago
Multiple (virtual) dispatch is a central feature of C++ (and I suspect Java as well).

This thread have given me the uneasy feeling that I watched a completely different show. I only remember the outlines of the issue but I recall the Conservatives wanting to not "look weak" on policy reflecting ongoing negotiations

It's hardly subtle but it's also true that there exists implicit bias which manifests itself exactly so.

I've only seriously examined the source of Z3, but encoding an SMT problem to multiple SAT instances remains a feature there - just convert any qf_bv problem into bit width * SAT instances / 2! I recall that many popular simplif

The general principle here is right, but I was kind of curious about exactly what your gains would be. I curled the last 90 days from http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3021-gainnyse-gainer... and if you

Solving the problem of "recognizing when two arithmetic expressions are equivalent" is indeed ideal for an approach like Prolog or a SAT/SMT solver. In fact SMTLIB2 has a standardized expression for asserting if two express

by ZephyrP 9y ago
It's kindof funny zmonx, whenever there is a challenge that I think "oh I can do this with a SAT solver" , you've already shown up and solved it with Prolog. I think you've gone for the more 'expressive'

I get the feeling that this is a really cool story but it's hard to see how any of these events relate to one another. So your buddy PI slogs through a series of bad 'investigations', and is finally asked to do some work he i

i think he is discussing standard cookie session ids here, not access tokens. in many web applications, all the information you need is stored within that token and signed by a server-side secret.

I am totally with you on WebAssembly, but I think this is a valid point that can't be swept under the rug. Screen-readers operating against native applications aren't even close to their utility in browsers. Easy, reasonably uni
