Better yet, another commenter [1] found that you can clobber the number of section header entries, as long as the size of a section header entry is 0. So, now the smallest size is two bytes shorter: 112 bytes for a full "Hello, world!

Interesting! So, it looks like you can clobber the number of section header entries, because, with this alignment, the _size_ of a section header is 0. Cool!

Odd. For some reason, my version of nasm didn't do that, and instead opted for the lengthier 10-byte instruction shown in the article's objdump output. Maybe it's just an older version of nasm.

Eh, mabe they don't quite have the same feel they did when they had more regular, long episodes, but they still made the "Missing Hit" episode after being bought, which was excellent and widely popular. The recent-ish qanon e

If you have a system with ROCm installed, support for compiling PyTorch on AMD has already been upstreamed. The PyTorch source code ships with a script for building a version using HIP (basically the script converts PyTorch's CUDA code

I'd say it's likely because NVIDA's CUDA compiler produces code for NVIDIA GPUs, and AMD would have a lot of (questionably legal) reverse engineering ahead of them in order to support the same code on their own GPUs. If you&#

The specific thing, IMO, is the fact that the interface itself is specified in the Go standard library along with plenty of utilities for working with it. Java does have similar things, but, as far as I know, they're limited to the UI

The "image" interface is one of my favorite parts of Go's standard library, and I think it's one of the best showcases of Go's "interface" feature. Want to save something as an image? Just implement three

This is true, but note that the problem in general doesn't specify that the ints are only 16-bit. It's already well established that "linear time" sorting algorithms exist (e.g. radix sort) for numbers that are all a bou

I agree, and wrote a lengthy comment below about why this "algorithm" would actually be considered exponential time using the accepted definition of time complexity in theoretical CS.

I was going to comment on this already, but even that's way too "fast" based on the accepted notion of time complexity in theoretical CS... abacus sort should technically be an exponential-time algorithm! (And yes, I disagre

Sure, but if they're not debating that topic, why should it be an issue? Not that I think such a person belongs on the panel, but the reason they're not invited should be, as you said, that they have few or no qualifications to di

You're right about all of that, but shouldn't a meaningful board at least make some show of trying to include diverse opinions? The key word of course is "meaningful", and I think you're right on the money that Goo

I'm pretty sure youtube-dl just invokes ffmpeg in the background to extract the audio for you; all it means is that you don't need to remember the exact ffmpeg commands.

It isn't common, and the code example wouldn't even compile because "err" is assigned but never used. I imagine that they included the "err" variables to show that they're available, but didn't want t

Sometimes, yes, you'll need to write your own syscall wrappers. For example, there isn't a gettid (get thread ID) function in Glibc, but you can work around this by calling the syscall directly. The other case where this is useful

That's the thing, though. Extremist videos are already against the rules, can be reported by users, and removed if the reports have merit. Whether it's exaggerated "by the right-wing press" or not (I find it concerning d

I would say that this is the only use for this particular feature, because actual calls to violence and extremist messages are already against the rules on youtube and can simply be reported by users. Like you, I also find the Alex Jone

On the website, you mentioned that you run stock Raspbian with a real-time patch on the devices. I'm mostly curious about the real-time extensions you're using. Did you write the patch in-house? What real-time capabilities are sup

I agree that this sounds more like "volatile", but it still makes sense that programmers should be able to rely on atomic operations for inter-thread communication. According to the comments on the bug report, this behavior is ins
