What!? Size of the array is always known to the programmer in C. In fact, if the programmer wants to get rid of that information, he/she must deliberately do so. Once one does that, the array becomes useless. You also haven't expl

In my opinion, if those privacy issues bother you, the first step should be an overview of non-Microsoft operating systems.

Yep, C doesn't define that uintptr_t can be modified and converted back to a pointer. It is only for storage.

Since watching CITIZENFOUR I've always wondered, why would they bother destroying their laptops, since it is so easy to make and conceal a copy of those documents.

False. Mill does not do register renaming. ( Or use "lies". I failed to comprehend you second sentence. ) Here is a talk from one of the designers explaining how it is done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGw-cy0y

No ordinary registers. Instead you have a FIFO queue( belt ), where every element( register ) is accessible and has a relative address( offset ). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGw-cy0ylCc&list=PLFls3Q5bBI...

All ASCII characters are easily accessible. Your suggestion is a strawman, most coding is in plain text form and is typed. I did a quick calculation a while back. I don't want to repeat it, since I lost the source, but the conclusion w

I also wish C++ had a large Standard library. Including <vector>, just works, you don't even have to think about it. Now imagine doing the same for <sound> or <window>.

And prevent learning? No, what you need to do, is to learn whatever you enjoy, as much as you want in any direction, but recognize your limited knowledge in the field and act accordingly.

Actually 'b' is at a completely wrong position( on a ordinary keyboard ). It is inaccessible for both hand, without moving your wrist which causes strain. I have globally remapped 'b' to the right of 'l'. It fe

I wouldn't call it Ether, since that would imply some absolute reference frame.

Yes, I did. But so far I haven't been regularly checking printf return value. :-( I wonder if checking the result of every printf or asserting it, depending on the circumstances, would reduce the amount of time spent on writing+debuggi

That sort of thing is actually a completely valid approach. You made a small mistake, since fprintf and printf call the same underlying code, the error handling should be either log the error in any way still available, and then depending o

That is not what OP is talking about. You cannot get different information out of the same chunk of encrypted data. That would basically make infinite compression. What the methods you mentioned are doing, is hiding information in places wh

Storing the different information in the same place is impossible. You could use stenography but then anyone with access to the program/source will immediately discover the deceit. You can use what hiq is suggesting, https://

The problem is it needs to be applied to every function that returns a value. And I'm pretty sure you can't apply it to C library functions. Gcc seriously needs a global flag for this.

You missed this paragraph, which occurs in the first 10% of the article. The second caveat is that the class of functions which can be approximated in the way described are the continuous functions. If a function is discontinuous, i.e., ma

That is a pretty naive point of view. That amount of know-how, and I'm assuming he knows much more that has presented, is normal for someone who has been programming for 15+ years straight. If you find yourself still seriously programm

Don't you have to spawn at the coordinates 0,0, or at the so called "spawn point". How did you start at 5000+? I'm assuming you used an offline version.
