Maybe I'm just way overestimating how complex RAR archives are (I admit, I have not looked into this), but I think you're out of your mind if you think that someone could write a parser to analyze RAR archives in a day. That it

Have you followed the news at all? This is not even up for debate. The DNC was hacked and the emails released to hurt Hillary Clinton and to aid the Trump campaign. It is not yet known if the Trump campaign was involved, but it is a fact th

Of course, ironically, the hack and leak of the DNC emails was part of the effort to "rig" the election for Trump.

Do you genuinely believed that a baby was killed to harvest stem cells? If the baby was already dead, are you morally opposed to using an unsaveable baby's stem cells?

Andrei Alexandrescu has a fun talk about implementing scope_exit using a new C++17 function: std::uncaught_exceptions (which is a tweak to std::uncaught_exception). Fundamentally, it doesn't really solve the destructor throwing excepti

That's ironic. To me, the implication of browsing LinkedIn at work is that you're looking for another job. Whereas if you're browsing Facebook or Instagram you're just wasting time.

Or how about a fuser filesystem on Linux to do the same? That sounds like an interesting idea. Just don't make the mistake of accidentally typing some obscenely large binary like firefox, chrome, or clang... I think it would need to be

Regarding your comment about animation being expensive, I feel that at least some of the audio tapes in the game were probably meant to be cutscenes. Despite the criticisms people lay on this game, it is probably my favorite game of this de

Well, this is very troubling; it's installed in my browser. Not only did I not get prompted, I never volunteered for being in any studies. I'm running Firefox on Linux, but I installed it from Mozilla, and not the package manage

It doesn't exactly apply here since the author doesn't seem to be allocating resources dynamically, but another thing that's "newer" and less widely used are the devm_ family of functions. Nowadays, lots of code cou

Surely both radio and TV have been used for the same purpose. I think the Internet, and in particular Facebook, is very different for at least a couple of big reasons. 1. Much more precise user targeting 2. Direct feedback on effectiveness

I've noticed this as well. It seems outright bizarre that many benchmarks have been leaving out the 1700, when anecdotally, it seems to be the Ryzen that people are buying. It also seems to be the price/performance/wattage sw

I agree with you on the creators' rights thing. It seems unwise of the game maker to purchase a music license that expires. Though, I suspect it was a calculated risk, and that they believed potential sales this late after release were

At least from the outside, GCC asan seems comparable to clang's right now. I haven't done back-to-back checking to see if clang finds things it doesn't. I haven't really used the undefined and thread sanitizers though.
