heh this reminds me of when I did some runtime patching in my own hobby OS kernel. I used it specifically for interrupt routines so that I didn't have to repeat this monstrosity header and footer for every interrupt handler. Also, anot

This is pretty cool. However, outside of abnormal OS installations or something crazy like that, what is the actual use for this?

Is this a thought experiment or something, or an early April fool's joke?

Anyone can "fork" bitcoin.. No one will accept their fork, but they can go right on and do it. This is my first hearing of Mike Hearn, but I don't understand your attacks on him. For one, I'd be ok with Tor traffic being

This is really awesome. I tried to make something like this once since I needed multi-master with like 50-60 attiny chips with poor time consistency etc, but never really got anywhere... This looks like exactly what I would have liked

In general do you need to register or anything like that? I think it'd be a fun thing to try, but also don't want any of the bad legal repercussions that can come with it

This is true, but I've seen libraries that lazily use dynamic in their API instead of properly implementing things with generics to accomplish things. Also, the way the various Microsoft frameworks use strings to specify property and t

For all the shit I give C# (some of my complaints are getting better with everything becoming open source), it's still by far my favorite language. I picked it up when Visual Studio 2008 was relatively new and coming from PHP and C++ (

It seems to me that they don't actually WANT anyone to use it, and definitely not modifying the code... Really makes you wonder why they bothered to make it open source and LGPL licensed

I never really understood why just placing the equivalent of `wait(GetRandom())` isn't an efficient way to block timing attacks

Although not nearly as horrific as a coal mine, I learned this type of lesson in a bout of unemployment. I'm a self-taught programmer, and had been laid off of my job, and with only 1 year of experience and no degree it's super to

It's a shame that strncpy doesn't have the semantics of OpenBSD's strlcpy, which I think behaves as everyone would expect. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strlcpy

I'm pretty sure everyone has wrote their own toy VMs, but I'll go ahead and throw mine out there. (well, 1 of the 3 I've wrote that I like best). It's called LightVM and is intended to be capable of running on tiny micro

Note that this affects not just bitcoin, but also every altcoin. Bitcoin I'm less worried about, but tracking down altcoins to patch all of them is nearly impossible

I've never really considered it. Reviewing altcoins is easy because all you do is figure out a known-safe coin it's forked from (since everything eventually boils down to bitcoin) and check the differences. I really don't pa
