I just tested. 7-Zip is already doing exactly what the author's recovery tool does: if I delete the metadata at the end of the file, it still can open and extract files, while complaining about the harmless "Unexepcet end of data&

But how to you quantify the effect of the exposure? How do you know a particular sale is converted through some impressions you put on Facebook six months ago, and not from a highway billboard one week earlier? If you can't accurate qu

1) If it really was a bomb and went off, the pilot wouldn't be there to explain to the press anyway. 2) How likely would a bomb's name really be "BOMB" vs anything else? If the latter is any higher, wouldn't it be r

I believe most of the time this phrase is said to an inexperienced artisan who has no idea how the current system works, what's the shortcoming of it, and how to improve upon it. Think of an undergraduate student who tries to solve the

Why can't Cargo have a system like PyPI where library author uploads compiled binary (even with their specific flags) for each rust version/platform combination, and if said binary is missing for certain combination, fallback to l

Maybe I'm dumb, but I can't see how the code in the "Errors and map" section can compile. "transform_list" returns a Result<>, yet "result" is just a Vec. I thought you always need to wrap it wi

But Edition can exist only because Rust intrinsically has the concept of package, which naturally defines the boundary. C++ has nothing. How do you denote a.cpp be of cpp_2017 edition which b.cpp be cpp_2026? Some per-file comment line at t

I don't understand the strategy from the election spammer here. They clearly want the recipient to vote/donate. But if someone spends time to type "STOP" instead of ignoring, he has clearly read the message and not inter

I've been using AI to solve isolated problems, mainly as a replacement of search engine specifically for programming. I'm still not convinced of these "write whole block of code for me" type of use case. Here's my a

I don't know why didn't PEP 420 make one file at root of the package that describe the structure of all the sub-directories, rather than going the controversial, lazy route to remove __init__.py. That way you get both the explicit

The page 8 ("Building") of the slides has the badger picture to the right. His right hand has some weird "nails". Another example of AI-generated image.

Last time I calibrated my monitor for sRGB, the first step DisplayCAL ask me to do is to aim for 120 nits brightness. Sure a screen is capable of outputting 500 nits, doesn't mean you have to use its full capacity. Unless you guys are

I completely disagree. I personally find dark mode harmful to my eyes. Try this: open a page full of white text on black background. Stare at it for 10 seconds. Now close your eyes. You can clearly see the afterimages of those bright text l

"Blame" 2FA for your own mistakes just sends bad message. How do people who are capable of setting up 2FA (therefore not tech-illiterate) still don't use password manager? Imagine storing either the 2FA secret or the backup c

How is this syntax highlighting? If you put "<div>" in quotes as string, it's still green instead of white. Proper syntax highlighting must account for both languages and content in context, which can't be done wit

Can someone explain how does an existing media player understand the new mdat format without modification? I assume if they find a completed moov at end of the file, it would recognize the file as a unfragmented mp4. It should then try to f

If a website uses targeted ads and track users, they won't use the PPA feature Mozilla introduces here. So the setting won't affect user. On the other hand, if a website is not evil and willing to sacrifice revenue for better user

This gives me impression like what happens to the nuclear weapon proliferation. At beginning, it is an arms race, between US and USSR, between users and advertisers. Either side thinks they can't survive without vanquishing the other.

According to my test, xxhash-rust does have significant edge over TwoX-Hash. However, it is still slower than GxHash. gxhash | 4 > 8300.74 | 8 > 16684.68 | 16 > 33121.69 | 32 > 38146.97 | 64 > 57805.72

I think that list is limited to languages whose name comes from real life entities, and optionally with an interesting story behind. Names like "SQL" or "C" are more like pure knowledge rather nice good gossip.
