No. Copyright is about making a copy. It’s literally in the name: right to copy. A file downloaded illegally means someone made a copy without being authorized by the IP holder. What you do with the copy is irrelevant.

Not necessarily. Facebook just needs to have associated the email you know with their profile somehow. They can do this silently, thanks to their tracking. There was a thread about it on HN a few weeks ago ok another facebook story.

Xi has multiple components written in multiple languages. In the rust core, json de/serialization is not a problem, but swift is lacking a similar high-performance library.

Scalatron[0] is a fun one. There's also screeps[1] available on steam. Screeps is probably my favorite because it supports webassembly. So you can use any language with it, like Rust, C++, etc... [0]: https://scalatron.githu

There's another way to intercept syscalls without going as far as a kernel module, using debugging API ptrace. There's a pretty neat article about how to implement custom syscalls using ptrace: https://nullprogram.com&#

Some of us with mac pros or hackintosh literally can't update to mojave, because of missing nvidia drivers. And high sierra was such a clusterfuck that I'm glad I missed out on it.

Awesome, maybe now all those news website blocking European IPs will instead fix their stupid tracking. I can't wait to see how many dark patterns they will use to force the user to "consent".

It's not that complicated. -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections arguments to gcc coupled with --gc-sections argument to the linker will get rid of most of the fat.

It was rude because the DNSOP WG mailing list (to which this email was sent to) isn't a google support forum. https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/dnsop/about/ outlines what the DNS WG is about. Ranting about

Kcalc doesn’t use the whole qt library, the whole X library, the whole kDE library, or the whole C library. When you statically link, only the functions that are actually called are included. This can trim a lot of space.

Can you expand on which CPU exactly you are talking to? I'm genuinely curious. From what I've seen, every major high-end CPU architecture is affected, because they all rely on speculation. Of course, some low-end CPUs (such as ARM

OS research is still active though. I see many interesting microkernels being developed left right and center. RedoxOS is trying to build a unix microkernel. Nintendo built Horizon, a capabilities-based microkernel for the Nintendo Switch.

That's the point. The idea of having a "defensive patent" is to avoid having trolls patenting the same thing and then going after small companies with no means to defend themselves in a patent suit. For instance: https:&#x2F

0-based indexing is closer to the memory representation, but 1-based indexing is closer to how we actually think about arrays. We say the first element, not the zeroth element. Nothing wrong with 1-based indexing except old habits die hard.

You can, actually. At least in x86 asm, you just have to add an int3 instruction to get a breakpoint (requires OS support of course).

Put whatever update command (nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade I believe? haven't touched nixos in a while) in a crontab and you get automatic updates. If the update fucked it up, you can boot back into the previous configuration. In this

Encryption is not considered ammo since forever now. And slack doesn't have E2E encryption, and is an american company. The NSA can just knock on the front door and ask for the data, same as they would for an ISP.

Why isn't the how-docs tested? I don't work in ops or anything like that, but it seems to me that it'd be the best way to ensure everything stays up to date. In Rust (and many other languages), when you document a function, y

That’s literally why I said we shouldn’t trash regexes. It’s not thenidea that sucks. It’s the syntax. The abstraction of the state machine. That’s what sucks. Shorter is not better. Something wordier that’s easier to understand would help

Why assume trolling? The sentiment that regex sucks is one shared with a very large population. At least to me, it's this kind of terrible "write-once" maintenance hell language that really ought to be wiped off the face of t

I don't know of any comparison table. There are two family of vulnerabilities at play when talking about Spectre and co: - The general Spectre family, which affects most (if not all) CPUs built with speculative execution. - Meltdown an

What if mystruct ends up in an array? buf[125] will overwite fptr all the same. Furthermore, what if you need two arrays in your struct?

Disclaimer: I'm a 42 student. I agree with this sentiment so damn much. When I joined the school, I was very afraid that such a rhythm would lead me to a fast burnout. Thankfully, there's no pressure to do any kind of crazy hours.

Adblock works on the network layer, for the most part, so this would continue to work. Furthermore, most content isn't going to migrate to canvas-based rendering, as that's much more complicated to setup. The GP I was answering to

An NSL cannot force you to lie. You can say "no comment", and that's how it's always been handled. Why would they vehemently deny an NSL (with all the risks involved) when "no comment" would suffice ?
