This reminds me of https://github.com/uuner/sedtris , a console tetris game written in sed. The code has a very similar visual feel to it: https://github.com/uuner/sedtris/blob/master&#x2F

Would be excellent for application performance testing.

What do you mean by "LuaJIT is false"? Thanks heaps for that link though, reading through that thread has been really interesting.

Google figured out you meant Colin Percival, but I'm not quite sure how/where to find this improved algorithm you speak of, which sounds very interesting.

That's worth making persistent noise about, I think. Because you just described something that can be accurately described as a type of DoS. Considering the number of AWS credentials out there, I can see malicious users logging in, for

Oooh, that might be one of the reasons why LuaJIT is so fast. I did some reading about Forth some time ago, and learned that modern CPUs have minor struggles with stack-based interpreters. I understand it's almost negligible but has a

Ah, that 's where it got its name :) Really awesome utility.

I'm reminded of Courgette: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/softwar... It's used to deliver unbelievably small Chromium OS updates. To quote the link above: Full update: 10,3

Edit/Update: PSA, if you use a sync passphrase with Chrome your history from other devices doesn't show up in chrome://history. Known bug, will hopefully be rearchitected long-term. I have to say though, the writeup on t

Some hand-wavily relevant comments: - I had the exact same problem - "how do I get at the entrypoint and follow this" - only earlier today, with Chromium. I was trying to figure out why sync was broken and thought I'd try and

Hi. I'll just leave this here. http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.shell/2009-10... Like shells? This is the link you didn't know you were looking for, but were hoping to find anyway.

What benefit is there in retiring loyalty cards? Creating noise to deflect data collection? Optimizing for returns on some financial aspect?

by i336_ 10y ago
Oh no. There are a whole group of people who will learn to get really good at this thanks to computer games... Hopefully the next generation of shopping carts have dashcams on them?

At the mall where I live, Woolworths insists on bag weighing but Coles actually has it turned off! This is awesome, as it's incredibly time-saving. At Woolworths I generally have to look like a doofus holding my next item to scan in fr

Offhandedly asking why next time you're at a (self-) checkout can't hurt.

FWIW, I'm not familiar with how and where the Internet Archive gets their funding, but in 2014 they had 50PB of storage ( https://archive.org/web/petabox.php ). So IA can manage 50PB as a small-to-medium private com

Methinks you could definitely get in touch with Google about this. Product support may well actually do what it's supposed to do... Alternatively, keep the tablet on cotton wool until you see someone mention in here they're from G

Maybe I'm little dense, I'm unsure why this is at -2 right now. Useless/unhelpful remark (sorry) or did I misinterpret the thread?

I'd like to strongly encourage you in the opposite direction, to always ask questions. Always do this, regardless of how others react. Many younger people have security issues explaining their knowledge with others, and sometimes exhib

TL;DR: If you share the sentiment of the parent commentator you may find this wall of text interesting. You might be interested in Alan Kay's "Doing with Images Makes Symbols Pt 1", https://archive.org/details

That's where the money and expertise is, I'm guessing. And it's one of those fields where you have to invest a truckload of time and energy in advance learning about everything, but once you've done that keeping up is (p

Interesting... but I find it really amusing that my propositions are to reverse-engineer the secure boot system in order to take advantage of it, and also the fact that the reverse-engineering process won't be that hard. For what I ass

All these points are very true; chains like these are unfortunately based on a root of implicit trust. I make some counter-arguments: Secure boot forms the trust basis that the device is definitively running the code you put on it without m

Oh, I see. That makes sense. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the many-core design!
