I hate that these days it is not clear what is meant by "crypto" without having more context. Because usually they want to kill the wrong kind of crypto.

I'm still on a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760, but I have a 4k monitor (X11, desktop). Perfectly smooth in Chromium browsers, but YouTube and Street View are basically unusable in Firefox. Before when I had a Full HD monitor it was usable in F

Video and WebGL (Google Maps Street View/GeoGuesser) are a slideshow under Firefox on Linux, because they do compositing in software on Linux (copying the video buffer back and forth between GPU and RAM). That's the whole reason w

If they do less work, i.e. not write a GUI, but just provide a command line tool you can suddenly automate things and it all gets much easier to use. Anyway, I then wrote my own tools and put them on GitHub. And documented the reverse engin

That's also my experience. People releasing their tools on obscure forums, usually without source code and no version control. Almost enire communities that haven't heard of GitHub. Though usually the tools work in wine... but are

Semi-related: Several pharmacies sent brochures or similar material to my mom who doesn't see well anymore. All had extremely bad contrast and small writing using a narrow font with very thin stroke width. My mom couldn't read any

Funny thing: When I view that image and zoom in on my 4k monitor it is somehow interpolated. I have a bookmarklet that sets the style `image-rendering: pixelated` and when I click that it suddenly gets much brighter. That interpolation does

I heard people claiming this is at GPT 3 level: https://open-assistant.io/ Don't know if true. It's open source.

When using vfork() what are you allowed to do? Can you even do IO redirection (piping)? The man page says: > ... the behavior is undefined if the process created by vfork() either modifies any data other than a variable of type pid_t use
402.
by panzi 4y ago
Yes, of course. Did remember its not fork(), but some other *fork() and couldn't remember the name. But just the kind of thing it does. Its also not exec(), but probably execvp() or execvpe() or something like that.

posix_spawn() is great, but Linux doesn't implement it. glibc does based on fork()+exec(). Other Unix(-like) OSes do implement posix_spawn() as system call. Also while you can use posix_spawn() in the vast majority of cases, if it does

Yeah, but it is a field, not a method.

It's basically the same as with the paradox of tolerance: > The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant.

I'm neither on Windows nor do I currently write C/C++ stuff, but I just saw a video about RemedyBG, a debugger for Windows that seems to be really nice. Maybe that would help you at least in that regard. The video that I saw: htt

Some games just add an update pak that overloads the changed files, not changing the original pak file. So the installation size of such games might grow a lot on updates, wasting a lot of space by keeping the old files, but the files are i

Did they back then pronounce i and y the same way? Or do I mispronounce year and it should sound like eear?

Prisma has this one glaring issue: https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/10649 Segmentation fault with NodeJS 18. Its about prisma having linked a different version of OpenSSL than NodeJS. A workaround is t

It does have some Python syntax, see my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35178406

by panzi 4y ago
»-> List[Element]« is Python syntax, so is »for x in xs« and »f"text {var}"«. In TypeScript those would be »: Element[]«, »for (const x of xs)«, and »`text ${var}`«.

Since I don't need a lot of HTTPS development servers, but the few that I do need, need to have a fixed domain name, I simply configured nginx on one of our servers (not the production server, of course) to proxy to a localhost port an

Object.hasOwn(obj, name): Finally! That took long. Why would you even think that obj.hasOwnProperty(name) would be ok? If its unclear what properties there are you can't expect that the hasOwnProperty property to be working correctly.

Or write a binary quine that doesn't read it's own program memory. I wrote a Python script that generates appropriate NASM code: https://github.com/panzi/binary-quine Did it that way so I don't need to l

Yes, and if it's about the most minimal non-empty quine pretty sure it would be this: s='s=%r;print(s%%s)';print(s%s) Anyway, let's make it a bit less boring and make it a C/Python polyglot (not relay) quin

Agree with the iteration variable being far from the iterated structure. Also so many special characters for such a simple construct! While I do like {} languages, this has () || {} whereas e.g. Rust would only have {} in that case: f
