For further deobfuscation you might want to record runtime stats and code flow.

You're exactly proving the point GP makes, good job.

Had that problem too, and it's not the first time VMware was hit. My "tune for vmware" script has grown to three lines over the years: echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

Does it matter which one is connected to the charger? If not, that would mean they adjust that "power level" value they send over the other port which is used to determine who charges who. While it would perfectly make sense to im

I use a dyndns provider and SSH. Setup took maybe 15 minutes total.

Did you mean: Same as outsourcing security: When shit hits the fan, you have somebody else to point your finger at. No inconvenient questions to ask withing your org, potentially having to blame someone you like on a personal level etc. Wor

When I was younger, a friend's dad used to run a millinery. We'd sometimes hang out there for half an hour after school and then his dad would take us home by car. I was always amused by that oddly specific sign next to the cash r

This is what I think. It's the old business model, which worked when everything was expensive, only really needed by big corps with deep pockets, and any machine a teen would have at home had nothing in common with the big irons at som

This is one of the things on my TODO-list for when I stumble upon a way to have infinite amounts of time: Learn "FPGA 'n stuff" and build my own display controller. Like many people here, I don't understand why this take

As stated by others in the comments section, DX9 is a huge, complicated beast. nvidia and AMD have decades of experience here, so dragging it along with new generations of GPUs is relatively easy. Intel would've had to start almost f

I can't really follow. What would be wrong with making -fwrapv the default? i.e. let the compiler assume signed integers are two's complement on according platforms (i.e. virtually everything in use today). Then stop assuming &q

We've got a few components written in C that I'm (partially) responsible for. It's mostly maintenance, but for reasons like this I run that code with -O0 in production, and add all those kinds of flags. I'd be curious to

But then again, UB doesn't mean the compiler author can't treat it as implementation-defined and do something reasonable.

Bayfail was utterly broken on Linux until two years ago or so. There is a bugzilla entry with more than 1000 replies. And it appears that some platforms with that CPU still have issues with Linux, which according to that issue is yet anot

Absolutely this. UIs have been "good enough" for a very long time now. There were some minor breakthroughs/inventions along the way, but half of them were probably just responses to shifting usage patterns. You build up muscl

That was RCT1, and they released a patch quite quickly... I mean, at max half a year after the game released, obviously. Now that you mention that again, I wonder what the underlying issue here was. Nothing in the game depends on the real t

AFAIU, in the US to be on the safe side, you need to apply clean room reverse engineering, no matter the goal. In the EU, as soon as it's in the name of interoperability, reverse engineering is fine: > The unauthorised reproduction,

We developed something similar in-house. For most images it's a notable startup speedup.

TFA references a post that states that optimized switch statements in V8 are still just if-elseif-else and not jump tables, at least back when it was written. They might be faster than unoptimized JS, but certainly not as fast as jump table

This is all true, but how do you think a more permissive license would improve things for open source authors? Maybe there is a miscommunication here, but how is a company more likely to give you money if you release under MIT oder BSD?

If I read the comments in that thread right, then the quality is also bad with Edge on Linux.

Even if you're somewhere in the middle, don't let the baby crying stress you out. It's obviously some sort of instinct that your crying child triggers, but really, they're not gonna die if you let them cry for a few more

I think it's when you have processing rules in place for some or all folders, it seems they get applied to all messages again every time you open a folder. Normal filter rules don't expose that behavior, and I've been too laz
