Indeed, it's always fun to read about a controversial topic one day and find a totally different article the next. Then watch the talk where some news-sources are unacceptable when they support the wrong narrative but unsubstantiated b

TBH, I can imagine an Ayn Rand inspired city to be pretty interesting.

They do have x64 ever since they updated the freeware from 5.7 to 7.0..

There are free versions though..

Cool, will check it out. Thanks for sharing.

Assuming it's a "do as I say, not as I do" warning. As in, take some ideas but don't go crazy.

Same, although people think it's silly I find it less error-prone. The same goes for C++ libraries, only using singe-header or amalgamations because it's less to support and ABIs wont break between versions.

Indeed, the crypto/ICO advertising along with multi-level-marketing schemes are a plague on social media. Guessing it's only getting attention because it's 'crypto' in the title rather than 'likely scams'.

Great to see progress as it's a really nice environment. Sadly I had a lot of random issues with the previous version (e.g. pressing the 'windows-key' would crash the manager) and had to switch to Solus to keep it. Can't

One thing that have always annoyed me about Github is the lack of (free) private repos which makes the activity history patchy. So you show that you're active for months on end, then then radio-silence for a month. Or when you delete&#

So, he leaks Russian government secrets while working for them? Seems legit.

Doesn't the board have to approve all such sales months ahead? Just seems strange that people are acting as if he sold all he had and ran for the hills when the bad news were released.

Well, shit. That law was the only thing keeping the super-villains from going through with their plans..

We all know that services like this relies on a tonne of statistics, we also know that very little to none is personally identifiable. So it feels like trying to manufacture outrage over it, that it's flaunting how much 'scary dat

You'd probably have a weight of some sort so if the program wants to modify N files, it gets 0.23N 'suspicious-points'. To get how many files the code wants to modify, you have standard symbolic execution without actually per

That's the issue, it shouldn't be unloaded. Yet when bootstrap.so calls dlopen(other.so); bootstrap.so gets unloaded and reloaded. I'll try adding a dlopen(bootstap.so) in the callback to increase the refcount though.

This may be a good time to ask since I've been recommended to use LD_PRELOAD but it's always caused issues. Imagine this, a 'Bootstrap.so' is injected into a process via LD_PRELOAD. This bootstrapper places a jump on the

I mean, 9/10 of the people associated with the movement (online) are trolling. Just like the original 'alt-right', mainly people making fun of extremists while pretending to represent them.

Guessing they do some basic verification and purge bad signatures over time. If it's anything like Reddit where subreddits with <80 subscribers get 30,000 upvotes on posts about net neutrality; one can assume that there will be a lo

Basically, Kiruna has a massive mine under it and some time ago we figured out that it was more profitable to ask people to move to the other side of town than to stop digging toward it. It's nothing magical or more interesting, it&#x2

I'm curious about the claim that it fits 4. Because my friend has a late 90's firebird that while having 4 seats, it's clearly made for children / teens. So any information if the backseats in this model is made for adul

I mean, for a currency replacement that will solve all the worlds problems; it sure seems to be a lot of news about large thefts and issues leaving people unable to spend their money..

Not a lawyer, but: in theory; yes. However, we don't really deal with anti-trust issues anymore as any reasonable fine is pocket-change for these companies. Not to mention that if there's a legitimate threat they just fund a start

Not really anything new, everyone knows they worked as lobbyists and did some controversial stuff in different regions. But I'll be interesting to see what the courts have to say about it.

Because there's a lot of longer ones and it becomes a habit. For example I often talk about ATVI (Activision-Blizzard) in chats as it's a lot shorter.
