For lightweight sandboxing on Linux you can use bubblewrap or firejail instead of Docker. They are faster and _simpler_. Here is a bwrap script I wrote to run Claude in a minimal sandbox an hour back: exec bwrap \ --ro-bind &#x2

Tl;dr fancy way to map 1D time to 2D image If you imagine a movie as a line along the time axis with each frame as a pixel, there are multiple way to create an 2D image. Bargraph is simple approach, but essentially it is still is a one dime

I did something similar a few years back. I find the Hilbert curve pattern much more interesting. https://github.com/akash-akya/hilbert-montage Not an original idea, it was inspired by someone else at that time.

I read the same book, also in Kannada. It was bought by my father when he was in high school. Of all the science books I have read, this one was more engaging and had a bigger impact on me growing up. My father said he used to buy lot of so

I don't know much about WASM, but how does this work with shared libraries? Is it even possible to call a shared library without any safety guarantees?

Ahh. You are right. I misread the (3)[....] notation. Its not reset but just different representation.

> one can increment a single value outside the bloom filter to keep the values in the bloom filter low. Example: Instead of storing bloom filter [4,3,3,5,7,4,3,3,5], one could store it as (3)[1,0,0,2,4,1,0,0,2]. CMIIW, This only works

By that logic anything which kills mass population is "not so bad". Why not just bomb cities. Infact if you read it as a response to "world wars", though not intended, that way of thinking justify that.

That depends on the usecase. Sometimes you do want to start with clean state. If the process is in some invalid state which caused the crash in the first place, restarting the process is useless in this case

ah, that was a bad example for so many reasons. slightly better example foo_bar -> fooBar() baz_car -> bazCar() some_thing -> someThing() An even better example is doing the reverse fooBar() -> foo_bar bazCar()

Agreed, I think of macro as a superset of multiple-cursors. Heck, with macro you can even run arbitrary code to generate text dynamically. I had the pleasure of doing this multiple times. In Emacs, you can use multiple registers for storing

Yes, no silver bullet. But most of my use case I find a generic pattern so I don't check the individual edits. Anything more complex I'll switch to macros. Btw, I meant undo like global undo which will let you undo the last keypre

With multiple cursors you are seeing the changes as you are editing. and you have all of the normal editing shortcuts at your disposal. Example, if you made a mistake while typing just hit undo.

by akashakya 8y ago
Multiple-cursor is useful when you want to edit lines which have non-trivial edits or doesn't have a common string to use find-replace. simple example foo_bar -> fooBar bar_baz -> barBaz Sometimes even this doesn'
