In Ireland, I'm sure I've seen 325mg doses of aspirin and been puzzled by it. I assumed it was just a little bit stronger than paracetamol. While that's probably true, I can see now it's a bit arbitrary too. Though maybe

The example mybot.c looks very clean and simple, nice project. It's been a while since I played with telegram bots, but I remember thinking it is one of the best APIs I've used. So simple to register a bot directly through the cha

WTF, outlook, the mail client wouldn't allow you to configure your own mail server for incoming / outgoing email? Or people using outlook would treat your emails as spam? If it's the former, it's kind of shocking. Dark d

I think one of the exceptions is heavily optimized code, though the surrounding code can still be maintainable and clear, with the weird stuff to tickle the compiler or inline assembly being heavily commented.

They are just using wireguard. You can connect with wireguard and not run any mullvad software on the client side. Though that's generally the case with VPN providers, whether openvpn, wireguard, etc. I guess they could introduce some

Yeah I agree it makes it easier to eat less calories, and it's a simple rule to follow. Sometimes I might count calories also, but if I just eat within the window it is unlikely I'll go over. However, one unforseen side effect for

Ah yes you're correct, I should have said first paragraph.

To be fair, the first sentence states that it supports a subset of C. >SectorC is a C compiler written in x86-16 assembly that fits within the 512 byte boot sector of an x86 machine. It supports a subset of C that is large enough to writ

I don't use YouTube enough to justify a subscription. I paid for one briefly when my kids used to watch songs on it early in the morning (on our shared TV, not a personal device), so I didn't have to skips ads in a sleep deprived

My thoughts exactly. And if it's not then it's just a random floppy disk. Even if it did have the source code it's a little unremarkable without being able to read it. The plaque above the disk says it is just 99 lines of cod

I'm not a Mac or Asahi user (though I think it is an amazing project). However, this is such a great write up, very thorough with root cause, mitigations etc. Keep up the good work!

I agree, I find it hard to get too emotional about celebrities, even though I may have had great respect and admiration for them. For example, David Bowie, I was a little sad and disappointed to lose a great figure, but we all have to die.

TLS does have session IDs / session tickets, which I believe can speed up session resumption. There is also TCP fast open, but I don't think it is used in practice. I don't think I've ever noticed it used when looking at

Yes I think that would work. I remember moving house before withing the same city and moving our wifi router with us. For a while my phone kept placing me at my old house, when it didn't have a GPS signal.

Yes this is it, thank you. I didn't realize it was also a short story.

KOReader is one of my favourite pieces of software, makes the ereader experience so good. Especially for pdfs where you can swap to landscape, reduce margins etc. Has a cool feature to highlight and create a QR code you can scan if you want

In Greg Egan's diaspora, they touch on things like this. I can't remember specifically but at one point they encounter a planet where there is some process that is turning complete, and they realize an entire universe is simulated

Yeah I just tried it too. It did disassemble it and showed jumps, but no source code. It also didn't resolve calls to functions like printf.

I'd imagine it would work for any binary with debug symbols, even though the tool is written in go? Though I haven't tried it, on mobile right now.

You can, but the modern stuff (in the last decade or so) have made it so much nicer and more fun to work with.

I recently bought a second hand Pixel 6 and installed GrapheneOS on it. Couldn't be happier. Surprisingly it's one of the most straightforward ROMs I've used, and I've used many over the years.
