I really recommend Krita over GIMP - it subjectively feels more "normal" - it has better cross-platform support, better tablet support, better brush engine, better vector layers, and it uses single-window layout without needing to

I converted it to binary with a pack("L", ...) loop and loaded it in Ghidra as a raw x86_64 binary. I don't fully understand it, but i think it's searching the address space for some kind of function entry point and then

Go can do this easily - you just do `go build -buildmode=c-shared` and put a magic //export FuncName comment before any function. This produces a C ABI .so (Linux) / .dll (Windows). Although the resulting library is a little

Another emulation lawsuit, Sony v Connectix, happened the previous year. In that case the concepts of emulation were found to be legal but Connectix was hit for copyright infringement of the Playstation's BIOS. Bleem used HLE to avoid

This is an opinionated guide, hopefully nobody gets the wrong idea like it's actually hard to start using Wayland - for me, switching to Wayland was one drop-down menu option that automatically appeared on my login screen.

Fonts can actually contain coloured glyphs now, originally for emoji. Although it does seem like a layering violation.

This (to its logical absurd extreme) would mean that compiled binaries are not copyrightable and only source code is. The GPL is clear here: you must release sources in the preferred form of the work for making changes in it. For a neural n

Tar files are human readable - file names, sizes, mtime and so on are all in ASCII text numerals, immediately preceding each file's content. Maybe not human writable, there are some \x00 bytes used for padding.

Time64 is the death of i386 - the time_t structure needs to be expanded to 64-bit to handle dates beyond 2038, but that's an ABI break, and the primary reason anyone still runs 32-bit binaries is for closed-source games which won'
