It's like the Pokémon evolution of n through m, we need to notify the Unicode Consortium.

What I would like is HDR colors, just to access more saturated light colors. I don't want less saturated blue to make it lighter, just crank up the blue channel to 11. I still don't want brighter colors than #fff though.

Apparently perma.cc is officially used by some courts in the US. I did use it in addition to the wayback machine when I collected paper trail for a minor retail dispute, but I did not have to use it. I don't know how exactly it achieve

You can have backup private keys, they don't have to be copies of some other private keys.

Do I get this right that this effectively dlopens glibc (indirectly) into an executable that is statically linked to musl? How can the two runtimes coexist? What about malloc/free? AFAIK both libc's allocators take ownership of br

Any fallible cleanup function is awkward, regardless of error handling mechanism.

> Using Enums, etc. to represent those values in the embedded world would be a monumental waste of memory, where a single bit would normally suffice. In C++ you can use enums in bit-fields, not sure what the case is in C.

A function f(x) is said to be O(g(x)) if f(x)/g(x) is bounded, that is there is some C so that for every x, f(x)/g(x) < C . In computer science f(x) is often some complexity function, like number of some specific operations whe

That's only the case if the author would want to upstream their changes. If they wanted to only fork ls then they would only be required to comply with the license, without assigning copyright over.

It still weakens the security, otherwise why bother with integrity/signature checks if you trust the git remote?
176.
by leni536 1y ago
The question is whether recursive submodule checkout happens after some integrity/signature validation or before. The RCE can be an issue in the latter case.

There is still theoretically an edge if you just show the same frames statistically earlier to one player. You can present the game state statistically earlier to the player with the higher refresh rate display.

Virtually all bugs have some cost. Security bugs tend to be more expensive than others, but it doesn't mean that all very expensive bugs are security bugs.

PNG already supports color profiles, but probably not HDR. I would say that the gamut argument in the article is misleading, you can already encode a wider gamut. Not sure how HDR encoding works, but my impression is that you can set a nomi

Rebase itself is also often used to work around UI issues of git log to present a "clean history".
