I'm pretty sure the best middle ground that currently exists is the various "immutable, snapshot to upgrade" distros out there.

No, PEG is prone to exactly this in its default form. Parser combinator usually means something PEG-ish anyway. If you memoize (packrat), it improves to polynomial time (not sure what, but it's not linear; that's false advertising

Note that most implementations of both parser combinators and regexes can fail very badly (exponential time). Never use either on untrusted input, unless you can prove your implementation lets you stay linear.

Hamburger -> More Tools -> Customize Toolbar --> Toolbars (dropdown) -> Menu Bar (checkbox), then hit Done. Or just right click on a toolbar and check Menu Bar from there. This assumes a non-defective mouse though.

Yeah, XCB is a case where the new thing actually is a major improvement over the old. Nobody should be using Xlib by choice these days.

Everyone I know was using 24-bit color well before 2002, though 16-bit color made some applications work better (8-bit color would only happen temporarily, when running a very old application). My family shelled out the money for a 1280x102

It does matter for performance. If you read files in the same order they are on disk (often, the order in which they were written, which readdir on modern filesystems should choose to produce), I/O is much faster.

There's a major difference: Crypto is often undermined by insiders pretending to be outsiders. Communism is often undermined by outsiders pretending to be insiders.

It probably makes a bit more sense when you think about the fact that SSH frequently does a "try to match this host against a list of configured host-patterns" operation. In that case, "first match" is the obvious thing

It's utterly nonsensical to think that millennia of "fish swim" should be thrown out in favor of a century of "fish share DNA".

Training alone, perhaps. But the way the AIs are actually used (regardless of prompt engineering) is a direct example of what is forbidden by the case that introduced the "transformative" language. > if [someone] thus cites

My point is that a lot of apparently "simple" services do in fact call fork internally. Just a few things I've seen: * fork to periodically make a snapshot of server state, to avoid slowing down the main server * spawn an ext

Okay, but ... if you only get something that seems to work, but isn't actually reliable, what's the point? You seem to be wrong about cgroup v1; freezing works and is sufficient to reliably kill all children. Half-killed service

It's not a single image though. Stitching 3 or so input images together clearly makes copyright laundering legal.

All versions of MUSL prior to 1.2.4 (released less than two years ago) would indeed fail to perform DNS lookups in many common cases, and a lot of programs could not run in MUSL as a result. (I'm not aware of what specific deficienci

Avoiding UB for performing the signed addition/subtraction/multiplication is trivial - just cast to unsigned, do the operation, cast back. In standard C23 or GNU C11, you can write a `make_unsigned` and `make_signed` macro using `

In my experience: 20-year-old exe files can fail on both Windows and WINE if they touch something relatively obscure. It's easier to throw files at the problem under WINE though (you can just throw away the prefix if you break somethin

Important caveat: this is not itself a vulnerability; you still need a kernel `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` vulnerability if you want to actually do something evil. (I also expect that if you're already in a restricted AA profile it's not easy

In some respects it is similar to the student loan industry: when the system makes money readily "available" but it's hard to actually increase the supply, prices rise radically; since this is a loan rather than a handout tha

I suspect that thinking in trie terms is the way to go, where each node chooses its preferred representation. The top level should usually use a grid, though uniform-density children can also use one. The grid scale should be chosen to maxi

A* is also importantly different for what the ordering of the priority queue is. Dijkstra's algorithm is just BFS with a priority queue, but the lack of heuristic in the comparison key keeps it clearly breadth-first.

by o11c 2y ago
This is wrong or at least misleading in a couple of ways: A* is not limited to point-to-point, it also handles point-to-set-of-points just fine (you just might have to reverse the direction you're thinking in). Although this is most of
