Any plans on open-sourcing your ATC speech models? I've long wanted a system to take ATIS broadcasts and do a transcription to get sort of an advisory D-ATIS since that system is only available at big commercial airports. (And apparent

I was actually a little surprised to see that in there, I wouldn't really consider those features to be "memory safety" as I traditionally see it over Java. They don't really lead to exploitable conditions, except maybe

The VOR Minimum Operation Network[1] in the US is basically supposed to be that. They're decommissioning a lot of the VORs but at least guaranteeing that you'll be 100NM away from a working VOR and an airport with an approach that

Yeah I'm surprised by that as well. As far as I remember, Rosie started out in 2010 and people were using in 2012. Maybe the clustering/splitting didn't support this use-case or it wasn't well-known enough?

A little non-portable but there is an xterm escape sequence[1] that gets the user's background color: \e]11;?\a You might also be able to use the reverse-video[2] escape sequence to get something that works depending on the user's

Saying they hide it might be a bit of a stretch, that URL just 302's to the comment link with the title-in-url as usual. I guess you're referring to being able to right-click and copy the url directly?

Can you give an example of such a tool that analyzes/refactors just the text output of gofmt? It seems like that approach that would be fraught with errors considering how lenient gofmt can be at times but maybe it would be okay for si

Oh huh maybe I've been running mine in the throttled mode unknowingly, thanks for the pointer. Edit: I ran the `cpufreq-info` command in your write-up and it gave me the correct: > hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.00 GHz Maybe it&#x27

You don't need to buy the OEM power adapter for $46.99 The great thing about these Optiplexes is that they use a standard 20v 4.5x3mm DC jack for power. I run mine off a UPS with a usb-c to barrel jack cable.

There actually isn't that much work to adding basic support for a new platform target for Rust. You're moreso banking on LLVM's ability to target it, which, given clang gives you that C compiler maturity you're after.

Another quick question for you, what are you using to make those hand-drawn looking diagrams? They look amazing.

Yeah those first two are AAA publishers rather than games. Genshin impact though is definitely in the AAA category, it pulls in billions and had an initial budget (they put out constant updates) of $100M

Doesn't that depend on the font author providing a NL version? e.g if you want the FiraCode improvements[1] over FiraMono without the ligatures. Without editor support, you would have to build it yourself since they don't distribu

by ammar2 3y ago
huh, I'm surprised from searching that there isn't a quick tool to just disable ligatures given a font file. It should just be a matter of removing the ligatures in the GSUB table from the font.

There's basically no information on the RX7700S out there. Anyone know how it holds up for gaming/rendering/etc? The VRAM already seems a little disappointing.

Right, I guess the question is what will that proportion be when Rust is used for things like operating systems and web browsers. 30% would be untenable but a few hundred/thousand lines of unsafe code is fairly easy to put under a micr

Sure but you're missing the > so long as you are diligent about checking invariants part. Could you go through and check all the parts of a huge C++ codebase to make sure invariants are held as opposed to a few hundred lines of unsa

Do you think the board would object to him saying "oh yeah this looks bad since we're cutting costs, let's lower my compensation a little." It's not like he doesn't have any agency in this.

For what it's worth, Github uses libssh ( https://www.libssh.org/ ) for their ssh servers. It looks like they currently use the `ssh_bind_options_set` function with `SSH_BIND_OPTIONS_HOSTKEY` to set the host keys which m

How do you they know if the elevator is currently above them? Most elevators from my experience don't show the current floor they're on.

huh? What's wrong with using the higher level languages if they take care of binding to the C parts for you. (I know these are far an in-between for ffmpeg, too many leaky abstractions.)
