unblob is a pretty good one to try if you need inspiration - it pulls in both lief (no abi3 wheels or sdist), and rarfile (subprocess spawning using import “as”).

OGhidra uses GhidraMCP and Ollama to enable AI-driven binary analysis using natural language to help accelerate software assurance workflows, such as vulnerability discovery and malware analysis. Some of the main technical details that I fi

What type of data export would you find most useful? * Tables as a collection of CSV files, or an Excel workbook * Contents of streams * StringPool data dump * Option to configure file dump to export using either SourceDir paths, or target

It looks like orca.msi uses external cab files, so maybe a bit harder to do than just fetching a single file MSI into the Pyodide file system. If the license allows, it would be interesting to have as an option for the example.

Thanks for the suggestion! I just added a button to load a small example MSI file.

My experience with 7zip has been that it can read the tables and cab files from MSI files, but when you go to extract the contents you just get the raw files without the directory restructure associated with the MSI file (and the names of t

As a side note, I just tried it in mobile Safari on my iPhone -- at least inspecting MSI files works, extracting files may work as well (not sure where it is placing the "downloaded" zip file).

This reminds me a lot of the writing advice from Jean-luc Doumont’s lecture/workshop 'Clear, accurate, concise writing'.

That second thread is really interesting — I don’t think I have to worry about blindness, but I’ve wondered how I’d adapt to working if I couldn’t see, or didn’t have use of one or both hands.

The counter argument for the J curve/French Paradox study is that their data for people who don’t drink is biased — it doesn’t distinguish between people who never drink because they don’t want to, and those who stopped due to underlyi

I think there’s been research regarding the supposed “J-curve” for alcohol consumption — essentially, the original research that led to the idea of moderate consumption being better than none failed to differentiate between people who have

If you don’t like what the research says, then comment so we can have a discussion rather than downvoting because it goes against your mental image of Neanderthals.

That part was humor, sorry you missed it. I’ll elaborate. If it’s unprocessed beef it could be considered a whole food — but often people don’t bother checking the ingredients for the meat they buy and just assume that it doesn’t have thing

I thought the “typical” keto diet tends to be higher in meat, egg, seafood, and dairy-based product consumption than the western diet. Which would make it lower fiber, since that comes from plants.

Beans and brown rice would be… unless you’re eating the whole cow. But actually, it’s surprising how many things like preservatives get added to things like ground beef.

That adelaide article claims that meat was a staple pre-agriculture, but doesn’t do much to back it up. Studies of feces appear to indicate plant consumption was high. There’s also one I came across on Neanderthal diet 50k years ago that su

There’s also research showing fruits (the whole thing with the fiber, not juice) can be eaten without causing an insulin spike — as in, X grams of natural sugar eaten in the form of an apple is not the same as getting those X grams as refin

At least for newer C++ standards it seems like there is decent support for feature test macros, which could reduce the need for a feature check involving compiling a snippet of test code to decide if a feature is available: https:/&#x

It would be interesting to see what the most common compile feature checks are for, and see what alternative ways could be used to make the same information available to a build system — it seems like any solution that requires libraries be
