There was alot of rumours that they would eventually make this their mobile device OS. By cutting 16%, you're probably realigning goals of the project, and I wouldn't be surprised if those 16% cut are to shift away from making thi

100% in your camp. Microsoft Research publishes fantastic things, windbg is amazing, and the security ecosystem is really pushing the envelope for an open platform. And as someone working in the Kernel, I enjoy it alot more than Linux. I th

C# with blazor makes it really easy. You don't need to leave Visual Studio or deal with weird backend/frontend issues. It's all one application, and things are done on the frontend through C#, so it's all a single langua

What services though? I've done enterprise software systems and in the developer position, if it did break, they just rolled everything back. It's been genuinely years, but is that not common? I can kind of understand in game serv

Ok, genuine question. I've been in a pretty niche field my entire career. But i've never worked more than 30 minutes a day unless I want to. Is it normal for people in some Dev roles to really do "Crunch" let alone actua

You keep seeming to come back to "needing the source code.". You know you can reverse engineer a program extremely easily right? Especially a C# one? It's really not the gotcha you think it is. And you can easily see from heu

Alright, so initial testing result. I'm not going to even bother putting into excel, RipGrep blew the hell out of Powershells built in stuff. Like, we're talking exponentially quicker, so well done. (3 minutes for Pwsh vs 2 second

Powershell actually ships one! I think you have a good point. I was going to build my own as C# ships alot of configuration options that can DRASTICALLY improve speed, which arn't on by default. But, we can test Redmonds version and ge

I'll write a simple grep tool right now in C# then and see what performance I can get. I'll get back to you when I finish.

Tesla is a sham of a company. Not only the self driving stuff, but he's also building up his company to be like a giant, faceless tech company with customer support. Last week I was about to accept delivery of a Model S Plaid, I was on

The end result you see in the VR headset, or the games/worlds arn't really the goal. AI, and VR tech don't pay out right now. But AI is rapidly developing and Meta is one of the leaders in AI research. We could easily see cha

It doesn't. Use C#, Java, or even python. If you're low level and dealing with low level code and constructs, you're better off using C, or C++ just for the language features like templates. Rust is genuinely only useful for

Facebook's future isn't in the social media space though. Most of their endeavors are in VR and other cutting edge technologies, hence the name change to Meta. I wouldn't be surprised if they saw the writing on the walls year

Exactly, the developers of Defender decided it needed to lock the file, arguably for alot of reasons. To prevent tampering etc, it's an antivirus, it doesn't want you to be able to bypass a scan of a file, or change it. Windows ha

If you read my comment, you can see in the first few words I mention how you can do a delete transaction and it will delete it when it's not being used anymore. Or you can also just open the file with the share delete flag and it will

by maldev 4y ago
This is by design though, if another process has a lock on a file, they don't want you to delete it, since it could break another process. They actually do allow it if the applications open it with the createfile flag FILE_SHARE_DELETE

The issue is that it took 7 years for consteval to be added. Constexpr is extremely prone to "Silent" bugs, where you may mistype it or do something not allowed in a constexpr, the compiler builds it, and it's never actually

Sadly with all of these, it was needed. Constexpr was an monstrosity. Whoever on the comittee board made it "CAN BE" has caused untold horrors on some projects i've worked on. consteval is nice, it's just constexpr, but

The host should be protected in regards to code execution (Assuming theirs no escape). The big issues come in the fact that you may pass in proprietary/confidential files, for example Code, which is now at risk of being leaked and the

That proposition got voted down by 15 points though, despite every state senate democrat voting for it, almost every state house democrat (3 abstained the vote). As well as major corporate backing. The yes vote, which failed by 15 votes, ha

There's also competitors like Binary Ninja. Ida is best at Mac/ios and Windows by far though, so it's still used in those spaces alot. But for embeded, linux and whatever else, Ghidra/Binja are good enough that employers

Keep at home. I deal with the question alot, and the question you need to ask yourself. "If a pedophile or a terrorist used this program on github, would it cause more harm than gain to the world?". Usually the answer is it causes

AMD also had alot of those major bugs, but it wasn't reported as much since the original papers all targeted intel CPU's since they are the "standard", and then a couple months later someone would do it for AMD but it wa

All this does is make it so certain groups appear to be REALLY dumb at certain companies. In my experience at my work places, only one in 10 women are actually qualified, and the rest are so utterly incompetent that they just end up taking

Learn C by hand and just writing toy programs. Then read Cert C to learn coding patterns. C requires unique coding patterns compared to other languages, most relating to safety or language features.
