Now I have a very evil idea: what about registering a binfmt handler for the header bytes “#include”? Sure, it doesn’t handle all C/C++ programs (notably any program that dares to start with a comment), but it would not require modif

What you really should do is have floating point subpages for giggles, like /LAB/0.317482834/0.8474728828/0.172737838. Then you can have a literally infinite number of pages!

It claims to be a scripting language but you still have to compile the programs. Boo! Add CINT ( https://root.cern.ch/root/html534/guides/users-guide/CINT.ht... ) and you can have instantaneous execution a

Meh...not immune, just resistant. There's unfortunately a big difference. LLM slop is coming in at the corners, typically on articles that are less well-patrolled.

If I had to guess, they’re probably just expanding the Scheme code into C code during compilation. Also: it isn’t an endless C loop; do{/ statements /}while(0) is a common macro idiom for a block of code that requires a trailing

Rust does support a form of overloading via custom traits. It’s true that you can’t overload e.g. different numbers of arguments (and the lack of default/keyword arguments is especially annoying here), but you can overload a function b

I don’t even think it’s a “wealthier clientele” thing. Some routes are literally subsidized - for example, the Essential Air Service program pays airlines to run flights to places that would otherwise be unprofitable to fly to, and due to t

by nneonneo 2y ago
The former is more common than you might think: hub-and-spoke airlines compete on route pricing, but if an airline doesn’t offer a particular direct flight, then it has to offer an indirect one for a comparable price. This is why you get th

The extra randomness really only buys you a couple extra bits of entropy, but makes it more annoying to remember which format your password is in. It’s much more effective (entropy-wise and memory-wise) to tack on an extra word.

by nneonneo 2y ago
Nit, 160 bits of entropy would be if you could get 8 bits per character, but that’s highly unrealistic. 6.0~6.3 bits is more feasible based on what most websites will tend to accept, which lands you at around 120-126 bits of entropy for a f

by nneonneo 2y ago
Fully random: 62^18 in that format, or about 107 bits of entropy. Their approach: ~71 bits per the article (I counted ~73 bits but I’m not using their exact algorithm) I’d say it’s not too bad. With a good password hashing algorithm you’re

You put those safety comments in two places: when you declare an API as being unsafe, and when you use an unsafe API. Not coincidentally, those are the two places in the language that force you to use the “unsafe” keyword. If you declare a

That repo is only nine hours old, so I’m assuming you wrote this tool yourself. If so, I think the lack of a disclaimer (that you’re promoting your own tool) is somewhat dishonest.

The St. Petersburg "paradox" is not a paradox if we consider any real-world implementation of it. The EV accumulates at the rate of $1 per flip. So, if we want to make the EV at least $1,000,000, we must find a counterparty that i

This has historically been a pretty fun challenge to do. Earlier levels are quite easy, but later levels can be quite challenging and require specialized skills (e.g. reverse engineering, binary exploitation, cryptography). There’s a decent

Of course, typing this on my phone, I didn't get the syntax exactly right. Sorry! The actual strace argument should be -e fault=clone:error=ENOMEM:when=1+2 First, modern glibc doesn't use the `fork` syscall directly; it u

by nneonneo 2y ago
This is cute! It’s worth pointing out that strace ships a similar feature (-e fault) which works for any syscall, even if the binary is statically linked. It works using ptrace, which is lower level than LD_PRELOAD. Although -e fault doesn’

This would also have the advantage of being cheaper to list out; instead of rw-r----- (0640), it would just be “gu-” (-, u, g, a for the four levels).
