in python: - `import json` allows read/write. - easier to use than `import configparser` - allows writing vis-a-vis `import tomlib` that's honestly why.

Are the switches bad? I recently replaced the switches on my mouse as I had the dreaded double click problem and it was unusable. Then they stopped responding. So I just did something similar to the OP, desoldered and soldered new switches

there is, it's called governments. however this technology is so slow that using it in mission critical systems (think communication / coordinates during warfare) that it is not feasible IMO. the parent post is right, confidenti

Cursor does. It tells you how many tokens right above the chat box in the upper right hand corner.

I think most package systems are going to start, if not already, facing real supply chain attacks. The node ecosystem, from an attacker's lens, had quite a heavy leaning ratio of non-security conscious users which makes a better breedi

I have largely avoided the entire typescript / JavaScript ecosystem specifically because I don't want to deal with node or its ecosystem. It's just so confusing with yarn, npm, npx, then the build systems gulp, grunt, webpack

I hate on Tiobe as well but it is a good benchmark for world wide adoption commercially.

I disagree. It's an important project. It's not about Windows per se, but it's amazing to have a source available implementation of Windows internals. There are some really interesting use cases for it that are pretty importa

Ghidra is actually a suite of reverse engineering toolkits, including, but not limited to a disassembler, a decompiler and a debugger interface that interfaces with many debuggers, among other neat things. A disassembler takes compiled bina

I started fresh from Rails 8, so maybe that's why I didn't deal w/ that migration problem. I'm sorry it was stressful :(

Shifting to solid queue, backed by your rdbms, is more boring than using redis. Successfully deploying an app without anything but a database server is pretty powerful. Everything just works. I would say that's pretty boring :)

If you had asked me this question 15 years ago, I would've said never use Rails. I am a diehard python developer, with experience in Java, Go and C++. I am currently building my next startup with a friend of mine on Ruby and we are usi

Not much has changed, except there are more entrants. Binary Ninja, Ghidra, radare (last two being open source). For debugging, there's x64dbg. Some use windbg and gdb (for non windows os), but it still is mostly IDA as king though the

There's some other cool tricks you can do, where you symbolically execute using angr or another emulator such as https://github.com/cea-sec/miasm to be able to use control flow graph unflattening. You can also use

I have been doing a bit of reverse engineering on a popular Horde/Alliance based MMO game and it follows almost the exact same steps (including the FNV32 export hashes). It almost seems very similar as I have seen it employ very simi

Isn't that the idea behind UML? Which didn't work out so well, however, with the advent of LLMs today, I think that premise could work.

I think it's one of those features where the original intended audience of the programming language are supposed to be non-programmers (or presumably, 1-based indexing is intuitive?) but for seasoned programmers who have been used to 0

Wow I didn't know this existed. This is pretty cool. Will definitely play around with it.
