The stable interface to syscalls on Apple platforms is libSystem, which is a dynamic library. Compilers cannot inline syscalls on Apple platforms as that would defeat the whole point of making libSystem the stable ABI. In fact, compilers do

The whole point is the app is supposed to make zero syscalls directly, any syscalls that it makes are done by libSystem instead, and therefore the svc instruction should never occur in the app binary itself.

I'm kind of surprised Apple's App Store checks don't reject any app that makes direct syscalls. Syscalls on Apple platforms are not a stable ABI, so all syscalls must go through libSystem, which means any app that makes a sys

I'm really curious about the "com.apple.tw.twrr" notification. Why does it start with com.apple? The app in question here (which looks like it's called Top Widgets) is not an Apple app.

I read your other comment. It looks like you're talking about iCloud Storage there. Books downloaded from the Apple Books Store do not go into iCloud Storage. Books you've uploaded are stored in iCloud. I just checked my phone,

I can't say I've ever received an event invitation via iCalendar. Getting an .ics download for an event to put it on my calendar, sure, but that's not an invite, it's just a read-only event.

Oops, I flipped the conversion here, that should have been `u32_to_usize()`.

What do you mean by "standard Rust data structures"? Like protobuf and other such formats, capnp uses code generation. The tooling for Rust is at https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto-rust and the generated

This is basically what Cap'n Proto does, and it uses offsets instead of pointers so that way the mmapped data can be used as-is.

What about just doing something like #[cfg(any(target_pointer_width = "32", target_pointer_width = "64"))] #[inline(always)] const fn usize_to_u32(x: usize) -> u32 { x as u32 } and this way you can

I did the same thing as a teenager, I taught myself to waggle each eyebrow independently, but I never learned to move my ears. I didn't realize that was even a learnable skill.

"move a branch" means changing the commit the branch points to. `git push . $sha:$branch` will update $branch to point to $sha (you'll probably want to force this, unless you're just fast-forwarding the branch).
76.
by lilyball 2y ago
The "move a branch" command is `git push .`. Yes, you can push to the current repo. I have a script called git-update-branch which just does some preflight checks and then runs `git push --no-verify . +$branch@{upstream}:$branch`

The reply is encrypted. Apple doesn't know what it says. Neither would the police.

The weak force is weak not because it has "short range" but because its range "dies off at distances ten million times smaller than an atom".

Besides the fact that stiffness shows up as a term in the equations, stiffness is a concept that can be demonstrated via analogy with a rubber sheet, and so lends itself to a somewhat more intuitive understanding. Also, the math section dem

You can run generic Linux stuff if you install nix-ld¹, the only tricky bit is having to customize the set of libraries given to nix-ld for your use-case. It includes various common libraries by default, but depending on what you want to ru

Yeah, to be honest, the only reason I wrote the comment was because my understanding is HN stories whose comments/points ratio is higher get downranked and I'm tired of seeing clickbait artificial outrage stories.

Nor should it. Scam identification is a feature of junk mail filtering, not of summarization. Any scam that's being summarized is one that has already made it past junk filtering.
