I agree that postmodernism, or at least your definition of it, is so much nonsense (in the realm of hard sciences, at least - soft science unfortunately does suffer from human contextual bias issues). I don't read SciAm (maybe that&#x2

I think 2) actually has the most merit. If you have a large number of e.g. temp files a container creates, retaining that file history may not be particularly valuable. Some sort of "hey back this data up, it's important to my fun

Yes. Use a WriteOnlyArray or whatever, Semantics aside though... There should be some middle ground between RAII and invoking Dispose/delete and full blown automatic GC.

Ooh. This makes me very much want to tinker with DosBox myself. Qemu can IIRC do similar things with drivers but possibly because it was co-opted to run android emulator imgs (which are all very standard and boring), it seemed difficult to

I think clean installation failed, there is/was another installation route with upgrade. I agree that the low-level explanation is lacking, but in fairness dosbox-x doesn't sound like it offers that (out of the box). I'm gues

We can all agree Unity is terrible. Would be nice to hear about a Rust Game engine, though.

At least for this instance you have a good idea which objects are "ripe" for collection. There should be some way to specify "collect these, my infra objects don't need to be".
219.
by smaudet 2y ago
If you could even just pass an array of objects to be collected or something, this would so much easier. Magic, code or otherwise, sucks when the spell/library/runtime has different expectations than your own. You expect levitatio

Not sure why I got down-voted on my other reply, but basically this. XML != HTML, not sure what is controversial to say about that.
224.
by smaudet 2y ago
xml != html so you can't just plug an xml parser and a schema together and call it quits. Plus, there's things like browser support, relative paths, and content embedding to consider, which always made dedicated products like Adob

There is probably a high percentage of tearing down, I doubt its so extreme. I think maybe 1 in 100k is actually anything special, but odds are you aren't special, you just noticed that 20% of the population is as gifted/motivated

Yeah, I think many of their arguments are not quite up to snuff. I would be quite interested how 1s compliment is faster, it is simpler and thus the hardware could be faster, iff you figure out how to deal with the drawbacks like -0 vs +0 (

I think I was misunderstood. I do not mean H0(H1(m0)+H1(m1)) nor H1(m0)+H(m1) but Reinman(x={0,1000})(H0(m(x))) Where there are 1000 hashes. So H0 must be broken one thousand times, then it does not matter that some attack exists to reduce

Seems like a reminder to me... Also, I wonder how the security of cryptosystems relates to a combined approach, i.e. if you cut the message and hash smaller parts with multiple algorithms (SHA-1+SHA-256) how much more infeasible you can mak

I suppose, can you arbitrarily replace portions of systemd with scripts, though? If so, perhaps it is less of a problem than it used to be. It still doesn't fit every need but it's better if it can get out of the way when told to.

by smaudet 2y ago
I could simply trace shell scripts with some file io, or echo statements. Now there are systems using python, even better I can set breakpoints and modify, no need to recompile. Configuring the system with textfiles only works if the system

The single major flaw with systemd... Linux was(is?) the system. Shell scripts could configure the system, reasonably well. Systemd meant it was no longer possible to simply fix a linux distro that had it...a massive recompile and intricate

Nah, you have the wrong idea completely, non-shady businesses provide a good or service, that you can't obtain (easily) yourself. Period, non-stop. (Ignoring for a minute monopolies, which can actually be quite fair but usually aren&#x

Exactly. There's some need, perhaps, to keep these tools "up to date" because someone in a non-free country is going to use them in a horrendous manner and we should maybe know more about them (maybe). However, there is no go

That all makes a lot of sense! I didn't know about git rerere - maybe I'll make a point to try jj out if it has optimized the diff resolution... It also closely matches how I actually work, but the twist that you get to pick what
