I believe that if you're looking for performance, you're never going to be able to avoid understanding how the programming language constructs are translated into actual machine instructions. However, it is clearly less important

Even with a fast connection, it takes a very long time. I'm guessing the site is overloaded as the peak was a few tens of Mb/s, and generally much slower.

You can download it from sci-hub. I just want to point out how ridiculous it is that a document that is obviously out of copyright is paywalled by these publishers.

Thanks. I'd guess something similar happens here. However, I doubt it's they same case as you, since there are no floating point operations involved here. How's were you able to figure it out? Where should I start looking?

This issue isn't directly related to BitSet. I have observed the same thing in my programming language interpreter that runs on the JVM (well, it's written in Kotlin multiplatform so it runs on JS and Natively as well). I start th

With GPG you typically use assymetric cryptography, so you would be using the public key of the recipient, so you don't need the yubikey for that. However, the yubikey can be used when decrypting the message later.

In in your position as well, and I'm not thinking that perhaps the RSI issues are more common for me peoples who use "correct" hand placement. I find Emacs to be very difficult to use with the proper hand placement, so perhap

As you get older, the differences just becomes larger and larger. At some point it just gets ridiculous. My current laptop has almost 1 million times more RAM than my first computer (40 GB vs. 64 kB). It's just impossible to compare th

Not trusting the software at all is the only real solution. The only operating system that makes that practical is Qubes OS. One can always manage a lot of VM's manually, but that's complicated enough that one usually only bothers

In general, I agree with you about avoiding cloud storage, but it's important to remember that the secret is the cleartext data. The encrypted data is not secret, and that's the whole point of encryption. As long as you store

Most people don't need everything SQLite offers, but almost all programs needs some of its features. And even if you literally do nothing more than storing rows of text, the API SQLite offers is still more convenient than most filesyst

There is a difference between losing data, and losing transactions. Transactions can be replayed from the message log (depending on the implementation) and reprocessed if needed. I have seen plenty of recovery operations in finance, sometim

List<Cat> cannot be a subclass of List<Animal> as that would imply I can do list.add(dog) into that list. You probably know this, but I'm replying in the hope it clarifies things to other readers. The way it's expresse

Then I presume you never had the misfortune of using Skype for Business? We used this prior to Teams, and in comparison, Teams is great. I'm guessing a lot of Teams users come from Skype for Business, so they are really happy with the

I'm of the age that I also consider 50 years ago to be the dawn of computing. Turns out it's closer to 75. :-) It has been said that non-programmers used to catch on to APL quite quickly back in the day. Faster than regular progra

IPv6 address randomisation fixes that, and it's enabled by default on most IPv6 stacks.

by lokedhs 5y ago
You can use link-local addresses for that. There addresses are only available inside the local network and are never routed. When you use IPv6 your interfaces have multiple addresses, at least one external and one link-local.

You can emulate it using Hercules. When searching I found plenty of guides showing how to set it up. I'm not linking to any in particular, because frankly I have never tried them so I don't know which one you should follow.

I have come to have the opinion that protecting against root exploits makes very little sense. If you have the right to run code on a target machine as a local user, you already have almost all the permissions you need to bad things. With o

Since this is HN, and pedantic corrections are popular, I feel the need to point out that "coding" is the original term. I've seen very old references where creating instructions for a machine to execute was referring to &quo

That is what I'm trying to do, actually. However, the core syntax for fundamental array operations are still the same, but there is a layer of regular imperative structures around it, so you can write code that looks like JS if you wan

There are open source alternatives. The one I'm somewhat involved in is Maxima which is one of the oldest open source projects that is still being developed. wxMaxima is the most popular frontend for the software: http://wxm
