For a while, I thought that luvit is completely undocumented. But then, I found out that one just goes to nodejs.org ... So far, I mostly like it. Recently, I used it to build a PoC for an in-house testing tool for embedded devices and deci

I'm tempted to buy this for the soundtracks alone. Of the last bundle, I stopped playing the games after a few hours, but the soundtracks are still on heavy rotation in my work headphones.

No "entry" keyword. I looked.

It can be learned. Observe: //! \brief Transport diagnostic wrapper class TransportDiagnosticWrapper { (Actually, meaningful one-line comments are a lyric discipline of their own, related to haikus.)

Did I say Spec? I meant the doxygen output of hundreds of classes with sparse one-line doccumments. Plus one outdated sequence diagram.

"and here is the spec for our in-house framework". "and here is the 1M LOC codebase, which was carefully crafted to avoid using any of the complicated frameworks; all you gotta know is the C standard library".

On German (and I think also Dutch) keyboards, {} are on AltGr-7 and 0, which is a pain to type (and the reason why I switch every computer to US keyboard). I wonder if that's why Python uses indentation and not braces for blocks...

I remember dumping registers to text-mode screen memory so that I wouldn't waste a register. Half of the result landed in the color values, so sometimes I couldn't read all of the value because it was flashing green on green. I prefered Boc

The MMU is not so cleanly separable from the CPU on x86. 386 has both a segment mechanism and a paging mechanism. The segment mechanism has several luxury features like automatic saving and restoring of task context. It is possible to set u

Most of the techniques described in the slides require ring-0 privileges (replacing descriptor tables and page tables etc). If you have those privileges, you can copy what you want anyway. Unless the encryption key is guarded by something w
