Yep. I've stopped counting the amount of websites that force me to use weak passwords. It's crazy that this is still a thing in 2020. I wish the controls on browsers came with a green V that implements best practices (8+ symbols,

Indeed, school hours are tied to work hours. Now and forever.

This was an awesome read. Thanks for writing this.

I remember that. It was very easy.. I sort of have that same feeling with .NET, but I wonder if it's still going to be a layer on top of windows C system functions which might just be wrappers for system calls, which require an expensi

The original Kinetix 3D Studio MAX was NOT as slow as the current AutoDesk products. It had a loading time, but I can live with that. With the speed of the M.2 SSDs we have today and everything else I really wonder why it got like this. May

Anyone can claim anything that helps their cause. All you have to do is not implement the emulator using the official developer documentation for the system. For example on the original Gameboy the thing you have to avoid is using the copyr

I made a website where you can measure these things in both time and instructions. It's not perfect because it's a VM, but at least you can see for yourself the horror show that is the first exception thrown. And also the bloat th

I'm renovating a sailboat at the age of 34, so it's never too late to start. My father had a sailboat he would take us up and down the coast with, but it's been a long time. And one thing that sailboats beat everyone else wit

You can printf a null byte just fine, you just need to provide the length, just like with fwrite: printf("%.*s", (int) nbytes, str);

I have made a codebase where all the C and C++ glue is already taken care of, as well as the build system: https://github.com/fwsGonzo/barebones However, nothing else. So it's a starting point for a beginner. I do

Yes, when you build this: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain You can configure it with the extensions your system will support. The minimal is RV32I and RV64I. It will be full-length instructions which are ea

I wrote a RISC-V simulator library for modern C++ also: https://github.com/fwsGonzo/libriscv It doesn't use JIT but for small programs it was faster than the other simulators I compared with. It also has page func

I honestly can't see it. Sure the kids may be fast at swiping, but ... it takes milliseconds for a professional with a mouse to already have aimed and shot against the head of an enemy player. There is a reason why pros who play with c

There was a NYtimes article showing that the denialism has been happening in all three english speaking countries: US, England and Australia, because of brainwashing. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/08/world&#

It was sarcastic, so we both agree I think.

I wonder if we really have to wait a full generation with the "new conditions" (such as national healthcare) already in place for the bickering to taper off. That is, the discussion about how much downtrodden-ness is OK as long as

One of Australias most prominent features is its captured media. They will write just about anything about the climate and people who care about it. I've already seen it all, and that article is nothing spectacular when it comes to inv

I like that analogy. I guess these images are more single-purpose minded, and often will do things read-only. Perfect for immutable infrastructure, but it's not a requirement.

Some downsides then: - You can't just port anything to IncludeOS. Since you have direct hardware control and you can schedule work directly to numbered CPUs you can take advantage of things, but if you don't do that then you are j

It would be awesome if you could place restrictions on the compiler, but I don't know of any such features atm. Still, the compilation happens in the container (which is just a default Ubuntu image with a cross compiler in it). I don&#

You can compile and execute C/C++ code in my little hobby project: https://droplet.fwsnet.net/ It's something I use to measure certain things, like how many instructions does a C++ exception add etc. It's run

So, everyones private information is now globally accessible, and handing it out to anyone who asks is already normalized: "Working as intended."

At the very minimum you should write a test each time you find a bug, so that it doesn't happen again. If you already know what the problem is writing a test case for it should be simple. The only time writing a test suite would be har

First off, its probably a toxic work environment, and second, you're at a stage where the walls are closing in so it feels worse than it is. Programming is inherently a creative art with a core of logic and reason. For example, you can

Yes, you inevitably end up implementing a state machine like that.
