> the underrated Blast Corps That's putting it mildly. BC was a fantastically frustrating combination of big explosions, annoying puzzles, time pressure, and complete silliness.

I shouldn't be surprised that you post here. Your channel is amazing and inspiring, and I love that you dive into your failures and dead-ends, and hide little background gags on the monitors. And the pranks and roasts between you and y

Yes, and if you can hold and retain power over the guild then the power of professional exclusion exceeds the coercive power of any one employer. But when your threat model includes adversaries who are willing to subvert the entire open int

Another thing: EC2 instances (VMs) have a "Source/Destination IP check" which makes them ignore any packets not intended for them. If you want an instance to do NAT, you need to turn this off.

Yes. And AWS do (sorta) offer a NAT AMI (amazon machine image) if you want to do more management yourself and not get extorted for bandwidth. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_NAT_Ins... I

A bridge like this would make a great plot point in a big-dumb-action-style heist movie. Force a truck under a low canopener bridge at speed to rip its top off, then herd it onto the highway to drop people in via helicopter and extract the

A federated protocol on its own is not stable. As a matter of hardening these protocols against EEE attacks, federated protocol designs probably need to bake in a mechanism which provides incentives for people to run their own servers. I&#x

What are you talking about? The article mentions that GCC 7.5.0 (earliest version supporting RISC-V) requires a C++ compiler.

It does, including at least a shell, a C++ compiler, make, and a bunch of other UNIX/GNU tools to run the whole thing. And where do you get those programs from, and can you trust them? If you look really seriously, a scary problem emer

> Taskfile is just a dialect of YAML format with a specific syntax One of the few formats in common use that's actually worse than Makefile, plus you need to go and find another binary to run the thing.

Wow, there are a few animutations in their big "unsorted" collection: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_flash_unsorted . Rewatching them brings back so many memories from High School.

Will this patch of yours make it into GCC upstream? APE executables and cosmopolitan libc are incredibly cool tech, and it'd be great if they were easier to use.

I'm glad someone else remembers the old arts. I used to have a big collection of my favourites in .swf form, but lost them in an OS reinstall. The youtube renders aren't the same; many animutations had secret interactive bits or h

I just finished the bytecode interpreter side, and I have similar questions. The next areas of interest for me are reasonable AST representations in C and learning how to translate a semantics from a PL paper to a runtime. Anyone have any r

NO_FOO variables seem to me like bad design: it makes it hard to override/explicity ask for FOO. In general, I think allowing a set of options like FOO=always,never,auto gives a lot more flexibility and extensibility.

Not a python programmer, but I would guess that a) the language's semantics are pretty well-understood now and I wouldn't expect too many new control structures etc to come in (changes that would be much harder to make to an aggre

A lot of the seL4 work was actually funded by several nations' taxpayers, and developed by the late Trustworthy Systems group at Data61 (formerly NICTA). Sadly, they were disbanded a few years back and had to rush to set up a standalon
