Super impressive. I wouldn't count this as being turing complete. You could say that the SNES itself is turing complete. He successfully got a turing complete machine to run arbitrary code. It was the SNES itself running this code

Hi, good talk. I was wondering if you could elaborate more on your JSON RPC mechanism and the use of threads vs. processes. Coming from the Python world I could see it very hard or impossible to use one plugin written in Python2 and anoth

Seems like it might be useful in creating a Docker image from source.

Good thing I saw this. I was thinking about installing Ubuntu or Mint on my X1 Yoga during the holidays. I'll hold off now or do some more research.

Can someone explain this to me? Where did this BTC come from? There was a single deposit on 12/8 of like 5k BTC. Since then there have been withdrawls from that address. https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/addres

I'm not sure how useful this is by itself. It's cool that it's there for convenience, but I think I'd rather stick to either Git on Windows or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

Is it good for reading technical books which may have diagrams and source code excerpts?

Somewhat on topic I'd like to ask what a good device is to read these books on? I'd like to grab a couple books to read over the holidays. For example someone else mentioned this book. https://www.manning.com/books

I'm not sure about the current state of PySide, but PySide is LGPL. Might want to look there too.

When you ssh to your device are you not running Busybox shell on the device? I don't understand why this is less of a problem?

No shebang support? What about this? Sure it's not "native" but it accomplishes the same thing. https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Multiline_shebang#Go

Sounds like a design flaw... adding a centralized database to augment a decentralized version control system. Comments, issues, pull requests, wiki, etc... should all be first class Git objects. I should be able to create pull requests whi

Ubuntu wanted to do this but it never went anywhere... and they didn't open source their code. What an absolute shame. I really loved the idea of it. You had the whole Android / Java / Bionic runtime sharing the same kernel

Sensationalist title. This affects every implementation of WPA2. It's just hat Android was "exceptionally devestating" in that you could use an all-zero key. This just makes it easier.

by ericfrederich 9y ago
I've said it before and I'll say it again... It makes zero sense to centralize something that was meant to be decentralized. We need issues, pull requests, comments, milestones, wiki, etc... all to be decentralized. No reason this

You need a problem to have a solution to it. What do you consider to be the problem here? This is essentially something that can be expressed in relatively few bytes that expands to something much larger. Imagine I had a compressed file fo

For trivial programs sure... not when dealing with encoders, decoders, binary formats, etc, etc. It all depends on how they wrote their Python 2.7 code. You can write it oblivious to Python 3 and screw things up, or you can write it in a w

Thanks, I think it does. I did a quick search to see if or how Dask handles streams. It seems trivial to add queues to dask. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfmwXSeM8pk I've never actually played with Dask at all for

Question for spooneybarger or anyone else at Walaroo Labs. How do you see this comparing to something like Dask? Would it compete with Dask, or be able to somehow work together with it? Dask seems to let you write idiomatic Python code and

Still doesn't seem very Pythonic. def name(self): return "split into words" Why isn't name a class attribute? Does this really need to be a callable function? In my opinion, I think as much of this stuff sh

Thanks for that link. I currently use IPVanish. Maybe I should switch since this guy who got caught was publicly criticizing them.

I love the articles from Backblaze. I enjoy them publishing the failure rates of drives and anything else on the blog. Two things missing from them in my opinion 1) a Linux client and 2) a second location I guess I could get away without a
