I'm referring to a sampling profiler - as mentioned in the article, these generally work on a timer (either a thread with a loop, or a recurring signal), not by a per-function callback.

An amazing part of sampling-based profilers: They're so low overhead, you can leave them on permanently in production. And since all they're taking is counts, you can combine results from multiple instances very easily. Put this t

Hi, I pay $1-$3 to about 10 creators, plus some higher pledges. A $1 pledge, to me, is a way to say "I enjoy your content. I want you to keep doing it, instead of needing to quit and get a 'real job'. And I use adblock so you

You could even do it where you pay the full cost immediately, but the difference between that and the prorated cost counts as a credit to the next start-of-month payment. eg. If there's a $100 reward tier and I sign up 60% of the way t

That would need to be combined with DNSSEC to be useful for security, but with that caveat that sounds like a good idea.

From what I can tell this chrome setting should also disable everything: chrome://md-settings/content/protectedContent. I believe there's also a way to disable it in firefox at runtime, so no need to install a compl

At its worst, this attack reduces a protected network to an open wifi, yes. The risk is that you may do things on a protected network assuming it really is protected - this is more of a thing for organisations rather than consumers, for exa

Source on 'mandatory goodies'? I know of plenty of patreon pages where the only tier is "Reward ($1.00): My thanks for your support"

I feel like Patreon would be a good fit here.

This isn't too hard. Aliases can expand to arbitrary shell commands, as shown in the article. So you can do something like: git config --global alias.bomb '!git bomb & git bomb' to make a fork bomb.

True, but I suspect they wouldn't be buying it on Amazon. The retail market means you need to look at hobbyist uses, not industrial.

I highly encourage you to get on something like patreon! I support a number of artists on patreon, and I don't think of it as giving a handout or see them as begging - I'm paying them for the content that I consume, and I'm p

On the contrary, this is a great time for music of all kinds. Right now, I'm following maybe 10 or so artists on social media, youtube, bandcamp, etc. I pay a handful of them $1-$10 a month via patreon in return for them releasing thei

As an anecdote: I have a friend who grew up in Sydney, AU. Never left the country. He has a distinctly american accent. He attributes it to too much TV.

Take this with a grain of salt: They claim that the Struts vulnerability in question is specifically CVE-2017-9805, and cite a William Baird & Co. report [1]. However, the report in question says nothing about a specific CVE, only that

Minor quibble, in the context of serving static files (ie. from disk), go doesn't use async I/O, the file I/O blocks the thread until it's complete. But since go's scheduler is M:N this doesn't lock up the whol

Part of the RFC is the intent to use these to create iterators, so yes I believe that kind of usage would be covered.

I believe the OP meant that they're narrowing in on being confident that gravitational waves travel at C, not narrowing in on a more precise value of C. That said, if we do obtain a more precise value of C, the definition that changes

Speaking as an Australian, the anecdotal effects I see as contributing to high piracy rates are: * Online content is more expensive in Australia. This isn't due to taxes or anything, Australians just get charged more for the same produ

Currently, very little. According to the article, you need crazy particle-accelerator-levels of energy to have them happen at all. However, by studying and understanding such events, we can test and improve our theories of physics, which ma
