   I forget the details, but I recall this video on the Colossus- a very secretive program that resulted in arguably the first programmable digital computer (iirc). I think we only relatively recently learned of it's existence? https:&#x

   cmake is not just another way to get a Makefile. If you have a cross platform project and want to work in multiple IDEs for specific platforms (xcode/visual studio), cmake or some other build system generator is a huge time saver

   It actually saves automatically. Refresh and you'll see a continue button. It would have been nice if this was more clear.

   I'm a heavy user of and minor contributor to the Allegro library. We thought Factorio had got rid of Allegro long ago, but apparently some vestigial component remained. So long!

   I've been doing some modernization on an old scripting language used by the game engine I work on [1]. Added a garbage collector, simplified how internal symbols are defined, added a VS code extension with some niceties like syntax hig

   They are, but they still need to communicate with the browser process to do privileged tasks and that code can still have errors. Also, a crash doesn't necessarily mean a vulnerability, it could be a purposeful crash due to an invarian

    Because they could have pled the fifth instead of providing the court with a known lie. You assert your innocence by pleading innocent before a trial takes off. Not by obfuscating on the stand. If an option is to not comment on your innocen

    I can imagine plenty of cases where this would be reasonable. We would need more details to say if this is a bad outcome. For example, if this was in the US, did the woman plead the fifth, or did she assert to something she knew to be false

    Don't sweat a huge faceless entity misrepresenting a cool hack. It's probably a badge of honor among hackers.

    Is this satire? It really reads like that one infamous post on the Dropbox HN announcement... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 For every one person who'd want to do it the better DIY way, there are 10000s that

    I work on a game engine (see profile) - I added a input recording/replay system that tracks a hash for each graphics frame for regression testing. We have ~17M frames of tests (80 hours of real playtime), and when something fails it ge

    Are you asking why it isn't present, or why we don't see it/it isn't put on display? What areas do you have in mind?

    > I find this report confusing. Why does if items[hashIndex].key == nil show as taking 5.01s, but the call to bytes.Equal shows as only 390ms. Surely a slice lookup is much cheaper than a function call? If you are a Go performance expert

    I still don't know what specifically you'd want different. What would a better language construct be for an asynchronous operation that enabled a better Fetch API in your eyes? Fetch returning null on a network error just seems th

    I don't see how the design of the fetch API relates to async/await being badly designed, can you explain?

    You don't need that then in the fetch example. I don't know about ajax.

    Is there some way a non expert can assess a particular hospital by these measures? What I'm getting is that most hospitals introduce more risk than they should, but if I find myself needing one I have zero idea how to not make picking

    KoL really scratched an itch for me for many years. It's too much of a time sink for me these days (I've replaced it with other time sinks...), but the studios newer single player games are quite fun with the same charm!

    Maybe they meant an extension API, not an external service.
