It could also be that some ransomware crap has used their codebase as a foundation for their system and then it gets flagged. It's a very very common problem in the Demoscene, demoscene authors striving to impress in the 64k category c

Doesn't matter, people will always find ways to eat RAM despite finding more clever ways to do things.

Even if they wanted to try something like that, it many cases it'd probably require a fair bit of code-restructuring so ideas aren't tried willy-nilly. PostgreSQL is great in that they've put serious engineering effort into t

Brainfart, the DDraw based demos I wrote about were made from 1999 to 2002 so around 25 years ago but then wrote 2005 because iirc the enterprise stuff I also mentioned were probably made around then. Regardless, it's all of the win2k-

I'm fully agreeing with your assessment (see my squad-level-airpower comment beside here), however I think there'll probably be cheap-enough counter-measures, like the latest CV-90 variation that has anti-drone munitions and built

I think because drones impact at the time is because it's filling an previously untapped niche with a cheap and ridiculously useful alternative. In my mind I'm calling it "squad-level-airpower" , regular airpower started

While the early core win32 parts are still fine, much COM based stuff will probably be a pain in the future. It's not direct breakage per-se (API's were generated from definition files and there was an encouragement to build new A

2005 is already 25 years ago, and what the author is hinting at is the difference in difficulty between keeping 1980s software running vs keeping 2005 software running is momentous. 1980s NES software is "easy" as in emulating a C

In the past I've agreed but this setup might just hit a sweet-spot, sitting at home the laptop is usually on a table and you keep looking downwards. Just tried setting up my USB-screen above my laptop and got pleasantly surprised by ho

Gave it a simulation-run and I think I really like this layout! Working I usually prefer to have 2 normal + laptop screen when docked instead of a single extra-wide ones some at the office use when docking their laptops. Part of it is that

Not necessarily, ASE is has a smooth UI that people like and as long as you're fine within the constraints. This one is great since it allows for in-editor previewing of "weird" ideas, I know I've re-invented that UV-map

No, the author posits that Zelda explicitly goes for artistry and ignores any pretense of realism (that then falls flat on it's face when using an over-contrasting tone-map like in the HZD screenshot).

The confusion is perhaps due to your usage focus and the security constraints browser compiler makers face to make something secure. First off, remember that initially all we had was JS, then Asm.JS was forced down Apple throats by being &q

What wat points out is that if you have the finances to replace a device yourself at any point in time due to an _unlikely_ event, it's just a waste to pay a third party for the insurance if _you can handle the risk yourself_. Applecar

I think of my experience with real world technical people, maybe 2-4% are denialists but those are also very vocal (enough to saturate a place like this). Another 4-10% are under the sway, and I think that's a fairly reasonable assumpt

This is part of the results from back in the early 00s when Windows XP was so ridiculously insecure that remote exploits appeared on a weekly basis and they stopped Longhorn development just to work on systematic issues. Any function that h

No, this would be more be about using different ways of mapping data to the database from an applications point of view. So for an developer it would increase the load a tad in terms of exploring data when debugging simple things. On the ot

My guess is that you want to change your entire design philosophy a little bit with regards to table design, moving some entities to use a composite GUID+timestamp as PK's and replace most updates with inserts to avoid conflicts and in

I think HTMX as "simple" solutions comes into the same class as you mention "django being too heavy". Sure, Django,Rails,Asp MVC,etc with static pages could be fully functional for something that is 99% CRUD. But I mysel

If security principles are important they should be on a deny-default basis with allow-lists rather than the other way around. If the deno runtime implements the fetch module itself, then post-resolution checking definitely should be done t

For a lowlevel runtime (ie V8 itself) I can accept certain lag since there might be some low-level differences in how signals,etc behave. However for more generic code Linux'isms often signals a certain "works-on-my-machine"

The article does mention cache friendly access patterns in the same context. But yes, you're right. Back when I started with optimizations in the mid 90s memory _latencies_ were fairly minor compared to complex instructions so most thi

Having written small compilers or other code-generators targeting both the JVM and .NET runtimes, i can say that the .NET equivalents have some extra simple options for scenarios like this. Both have always supported building libraries&#x2F
