Right, but the fact that you can parse out something that didn't have a contract is a strength. Someone had to write the Get-NetAdapter cmdlet to give you a contract, and Linux has those too, so a fairer comparison would be something l

Right, there are effectively only two levels of trust for a typical user: None at all, and Unlimited. Do you really like that model? That model doesn't work too well for me, I'll give you an example. I want to be able to buy a fun

Funny, he mentions the Xaw fonts, I was just looking at something similar. I've been using XTerm with Xft support for years but never really thought about it, how come the text in the menus and toolbars is so crunchy? I eventually trac

That doesn't mean anything, I ran into a bug after 2004 that meant DPAPI protected secrets would be randomly corrupted. It was an incredibly frustrating bug that cost me a bunch of data. After a few months without progress, I ended up

I think those are all basic features that all major debuggers support, certainly gdb can do those including moving backwards (gdb calls it reverse debugging). - Conditional breakpoints, break main.c:26 if a > 6 - Move instruction pointer

It supports both, and they've switched back and forth on what the default should be. They also supported duktape in the past. I always use v8, because it has better compatibility with libraries and tools.

I remember TotalView releasing a product years and years ago called Memscape - Like Netscape, but for Memory. It looked like a browser, but was a sort of graphical heap profiler/leak detector. I think it wasn't as powerful as Valg

I don't think I have any of gdb, but I was just talking about a hobby project using frida! Frida is a tool that lets you inject v8 into any process, then exposes a javascript debugging api, I find it incredibly useful. https:/&#x

I use vanilla gdb, the secret to the arrow-key problem the author had is they needed to switch window focus. The keybinding is Ctrl-X O, but if you don't want to remember that - and who could blame you - you can use the focus command,

Vi is a text editor, not a word processor. The important difference (for me) is that a word processor understands proportional font geometries and physical page dimensions, so I can layout the page interactively. For example, I have some te

Thanks, I wasn't aware of obsidian. I had tried out dnote because it's commandline first. I suppose you could argue you can just use standard tools with obsidian, so maybe I'll try that too.

Nevermind, I realized what you meant. You mean the attribute might be wrong , but the index always reflects what the attributes are currently set to (wrong or not). You're right, the index wouldn't be atomic in that sense.

> The answer is it's not atomic You'll have to explain it in more detail, if a file changes then the content has to be re-analyzed and the attribute updated to reflect that. > It does not do the same things the Be filesystem

I'm not really sure what "atomically" means in this context, if you just mean you want the index updated when an attribute changes, then sure why not, just use inotify with IN_ATTRIB. I don't think anyone is currently us

by taviso 6y ago
Sure, but the question was about whether any filesystems allow you to store the attributes. Storing and retrieving the attributes is the hard part that requires filesystem support, I think generating and searching the index pretty trivial o

by taviso 6y ago
Don't all modern filesystems support extended attributes? (i.e. I don't understand what is so different between the BeOS addattr/catattr commands in the article and the standard Linux setfattr/getfattr commands)

I think I'm pretty efficient, but maybe you're right and I'd be even more effective if I just used Microsoft Office and Outlook, but I doubt it. It's not like I don't know how to use an graphical email client, and I

Shrug, I only mentioned it because there was a thread about using old word processors. Regarding Word for DOS, I did try it out, but I think you're mistaken - it's capable but not as powerful or configurable as WordPerfect. I thin

Sure, I normally have this in my .dosemurc: $_lpt1 = "dosprint" Which just pipes the printer port output into a bash script that runs ps2pdf, but I changed it to save to a file instead. https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/w

You can still purchase it, but it's a lot of hoops to jump through! http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/links.html#obtain There is still a community (apparently mostly paralegals) who actively use it and answ

I use WordPerfect 6.2 for DOS, not for any nostalgia or legacy reasons, just because it's a full-featured and highly configurable word processor that I can use in a terminal. I only use it for writing letters and so on, nothing too ser

This is true, although until recently it was possible to use DNS rebinding to get the list of guids! I actually saw people leaving this enabled so much in shipping products, I wrote a little utility to test for it. https://github

Let's say that it wasn't you who logged in with a valid username and password, it was an attacker. Under what circumstances does the phone number prompt prevent the attacker from accessing your account? Perhaps they used phishing?
