There is a similar story about retaining/stripping copyright notices in the Linux kernel (btrfs). https://lwn.net/Articles/912355/ I think stripping copyright notices is only appropriate if one entity unambig

Good. So why require the user to add up the values? Some alternatives: * Click all the dice with value 5. * Click all the pictures with a roll of 4 and 5. (each picture shows a pair of dice). If you test for pattern recognizing the number o

I don't see this as a real fork, the same way CentOS isn't (or wasn't) a real fork for RedHat, or Iceweasel wasn't a real fork of Firefox. This seems only meant to be work around the trademark. If all this does is to est

I don't get this behavior for your second command, it just seems to return an empty string. edit: There are three cases to cover: 1. The value at the path exists and not null. 2. The value at the path exists and is null. 3. The value a

From the pictures of error diffusion dithering it looks like they are consistently applied from row-by-row in the same direction (probably left to right). There is a variation of these where every odd row is processed in one direction (left

Hungarian here. Yes, it needs a lot of sour cream. Having said that now living in the UK I rather use crème fraîche, which I find closer to what you can buy in Hungary.

My take on this is that code should always match up malloc and free, but your application may use an allocator where free is noop, if that's appropriate for the application you write. This way your code is more generic and can be reuse

Maybe, then it serves that purpose (if it's indeed their domain). But why redirect then or even point them to an HTTP server? Anyway, I would never choose to fight this battle, feels rather futile. It doesn't help that they have a

by planede 3y ago
That might be the real answer, but not very satisfactory, as it suggests that this domain just shouldn't exist. At least 7-zip.org could have a list of domains that they own and control if they wish people to use these alternate domain
343.
by planede 3y ago
These redirects are cute, but how can we be sure that the domain is owned by the same people as 7-zip.org? I can imagine an attack scenario where someone with malicious intent registers seven.zip, initially sets it up to redirect 7-zip.org.

I guess the main purpose of the submission has been lost, as HN resolved the redirect ahead of time. https://seven.zip redirects to 7-zip.org .

How do human programmers develop code? They also don't keep all the code in their head and then dump thousands of lines of code linearly in one go. Instead of feeding whole files, or even whole functions as context we could give the AI

Moreover, is "every lock requires a syscall" accurate? Probably depends on target platform and standard library, but my impression was that at low contention it doesn't really require syscalls, at least on Linux and glibc&#x2

The proof seems to concentrate on the marginal distribution as n goes to infinity. But the simulation hints at something more interesting: each sample of the random process seems to converge to a value, where the value itself is U(0,1). Is

At least you can build on docker runners instead of fragile shell runners on MacOS. But any benefits are probably not worth the cost of complexity of cross compilation.

Huh, nice! Looking at the documentation[1], I assume this is the difference between "exact object types" and "inexact object types". I though about bringing this up for Python TypedDict, so I'm glad there is an actu

It seems to be stem from `Record` being contravariant in its Key type, right? const taskCounts = { work: 10, home: 5, personal: 3 }; This probably has the deduced type of `Record<"work" | "home" | "persona

Yeah, you are right that 6.3 lists all conversions, implicit and explicit. https://cigix.me/c17#6.3.p1 > Several operators convert operand values from one type to another automatically. This subclause specifies the resul

Well, that's just ill formed in ISO C. edit: hmm, maybe not: https://cigix.me/c17#6.3.2.3.p5 Looks like gcc rejects the implicit conversion with -std=c17 -pedantic-errors as it's such a bad idea to allow this, but

AFAIK, it's only an issue if it's actually logged. Also, pretty much all services need to know the IP address during a session. It's fine if it's only used for the purpose of providing the service and not logged.
