I would also recommend following Akiyoshi on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/AkiyoshiKitaoka ) so you can have a daily dose of visual hackery on your Twitter feed :)

The author appears to have conflated "Linux" with the "kernel" - for example, "When calling a Linux service the function number goes in X16 rather than X8.", "X16 - linux function number", "Call

Hey, I did that exact thing (removing libc) on a QNX box years ago. I ended up restoring libc using a series of "echo -ne" commands (generated with a script, and then pasted into the SSH session I thankfully still had open).

My bank (Citi) has actually offered virtual account numbers for close to a decade - their original implementation used a Flash web app (ostensibly for security?) but now thankfully it’s a more standard HTML5 setup. They can be used at any o

Heh, cool. There's a bunch of bugs here: the FEN parser accepts totally malformed stuff, which desynchronizes the internal state and leads to some odd behaviour (as far as I can tell, this is what causes it to erroneously output no mov

FWIW, I also did this back in 2019: https://twitter.com/nneonneo/status/1177641328705851392?lang... I don't know of a better way to do this other than some analysis of the IDs + clever bruteforce. If I rememb

It looks like gobfuscator just modifies the source code by renaming package and file names to random strings, and adds string encryption. The resulting source code is compiled by the Go compiler as usual, and no further obfuscation is appli

This patch is very short: https://dev-files.blender.org/file/data/dyx4giga47ol4633ba2p... Am I looking at the right thing? Could you maybe elaborate a bit on why this will help Blender become competitive in the CA

This article rings so true to me. My father is a microbiologist - and now, so is my fiancée. I'm very lucky that I get to learn about genetics through osmosis now, and boy, is it ever fascinating! I had a dining-table discussion with m

On Mac, at least, the "Emoji keyboard" accessible through Cmd+Ctrl+Space in all standard text controls makes it possible to add basically any character in Unicode if you know its name. For example, you can type "water" t

Out of curiosity, which Korean ideograph would that be? Korean doesn’t use ideograms (much) anymore; they use an alphabet packed into syllabic blocks. The character I can think of that kind of matches the description is 囧, which is a Chines

Oh, this is great! Wish I'd seen this when I was compiling Chocolate Doom (on old Windows 95 builds my DOOM.EXE requires msvcrt.dll).

Most file formats have a magic number at offset 0. The magic numbers for EXE ("MZ"), OS X (0xfeedface/0xfeedfacf) and Linux ("\x7fELF") are all different, so they aren't compatible.

At the very start I actually built the binary using the usual strategy of including a big DOS stub, but it wouldn’t load on Windows 10. I’m not entirely sure why, but I believe it’s because the next_offset value in the MZ header was too big

Wow, I’m super happy to see folks interested in my little project! I was inspired to do this thanks to a challenge posted to Twitter. It was fun putting together this binary and learning more than I thought I was going to learn about DOS ex

FWIW, it does work on Windows 95 (at least in QEMU). Old builds of Windows 95 might need msvcrt.DLL, but that’s it as far as dependencies go. It did require a custom build of libSDL with a few tweaks.

If I had to guess, the scanners are picking up on the fact that it’s UPX-packed with funny headers. I don’t know how much my word is worth, but I give you my word that I compiled the binary from source and there’s nothing malicious in there

The nice thing about OP's solution is that they produced a new binary that's runnable on any system - in particular, it sounded like they had a whole research team who probably needed to run the software. I suppose you could give

`struct stat` and `struct stat64` differ in size - so no, this would not be possible. Using `stat64` in place of `stat` would cause a buffer overflow (not to mention screwing up structure offsets).

A friend had a problem with EndNote on Mac. Although there are probably better tools, it's standard for their lab so they have to use it. EndNote, on her machine, was just absurdly slow. Operations like editing a single reference would

You haven't seen pain until you've had to deal with crappy embedded systems that output "decimal DMS" data - i.e. ones in which 126.5904 means 126° 59' 04, rather than 126° 35' 25.44" as you might expect.

If Biden came out and said it was false, he’d (a) be giving this garbage more air time than it deserved, and (b) embolden people who think it’s a cover-up. There’s no reason to believe that making such a statement would actually improve thi

They do mention that it’s more efficient than lru_cache, which isn’t surprising since cache is a lot simpler (just throw all the values in a dict keyed by the args).
