WSL2 doesn't run under the Windows kernel, it runs the Linux kernel under the Windows hypervisor, side-by-side with the Windows kernel (in another lightweight VM). Honestly it's kinda crazy that Windows natively now runs as a VM.

We don't have to assume buyers would ignore a pedestrian safety rating. It might make people feel uncomfortable, and that's entirely ok.

It's worth noting that unless the roads are degrading and not being repaired, those costs are already being paid. It's just a question of who is paying it.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't recommend hitting the APIs directly over AHK unless you're a developer who wants their control. FWIW if you want something to start maximised I'm sure there's a flag in STARTUP_INFO to say tha

Or for a more "hackable" experience on Windows, you can do what (I expect) AutoHotKey does, and send window messages to apps to trigger "key press" and "mouse down at X coords". By analogy it's as is there

Perhaps a better example would be & referring to AND operations (logical and bitwise), but also being a unary operator for taking the address of a variable.

It's not clear that the author of the project is the one who posted, it may never have intended to get this attention. Given it only has the one commit & mentions having been presented, I imagine this project is "done".

I dunno about that; suppose dozer completes its goal, and 1 year later you want to audit the bootstrap chain. Latest Rust probably won't be able to be compiled by it, so you now need to audit what, 6 months of changes to the Rust langu

I dunno about that; it sounds like a PC in your sales department could connect to the RDP port on the AD, and the listed controls would have prevented that (RDP port on the DC should be firewalled down to the machines administrators use to

Luckily utf-8 structure is _very_ trivial compared to the average parser. Not to say there can't be bugs, but that the internal states of a parser shouldn't be large, and can be exhaustively tested.

I've most recently embraced more complex error objects. It's quite a feeling to get an error description a la Failed to open configuration file Caused by: Failed to open path PATH Error access denied

Correct. The solution is to modify packages A and or B, which is a high cost approach (hence why FAANGs could throw warm bodies at it, but most everyone else throws their hands up in exasperation).

I wouldn't try update grub from Windows, but the second strategy would work.

by dwattttt 2y ago
It's as difficult as: Package A depends on C 1.0 and B depends on C 2.0. How much work it is to get down to one version of C in your dependencies is up to how different 1.0 & 2.0 is, and how A & B use it. But if you want them r

It prevents Windows from running under it's own hypervisor, which it does to provide additional security (some configurations allow certain crypt operations to happen "outside" Windows).

I'd also argue that even if vtable indirection can't be removed, it's unlikely to be a notable part of your performance profile, at least in the general case. Profile! You might instead see the hasher for your hash table has

I can't speak to multiple users of sbrk, I assume that would fail. That's a property of sbrk though, not of malloc (or memory allocation in general); on Windows, you can have as many implementors of malloc as you want, so long as

That's not a very clear example. You don't need to be using multiple versions of the same dependency to contend on access to stderr/out, just having a println in your code along with logging code will have the same effect. I

by dwattttt 2y ago
That's a true effect, although I'd question whether it makes it harder or easier for things to be backwards compatible. I use Rust because I trust it to throw up a bunch of errors when I make changes; if I handle all the cases of

Their internal states in Rust are also namespaced, so two incompatible crates in the same process won't observe each others symbols. If they access external resources that are not namespaced though, that could be a problem.

IANAL. Damages are relevant in-so-far as a relevant law addresses or requires them. Nothing stops a law from assuming damages under some circumstances.

The point is that you should check for null, then be able to represent the variable as something that can't be null. That way once you've checked it's not null (somewhere you're not forced to panic ideally), you can pass

You can't avoid randomness and entropy, it's just something that's needed in too many places. For test repeatability though, whatever seeds a test run uses should be saved in order to repeat that test exactly. Best of both wo

I actually write a fair bit of Rust, and there I'll still explicitly add types. Not always (in particular where I have an IDE that'll show me the inferred type & it's trivial), but in particular if any more complicated in

by dwattttt 2y ago
I see this a lot, and I want to find the right words for it: I don't want the types automatically determined for what I write, because I write mistakes. I want to write the type, and for that to reveal the mistake.
