The quality of GenAI PRs scales with the driver. Many are low-effort, ill-considered, overly verbose and otherwise bad. I've seen decades of similar patches/PRs from humans. If it "looks like claude" in that it's ov

If you think you can identify frontier model-generated planned and reviewed c/c++ from human-generated planned and reviewed c/c++, I've got some bad news for you. The "no slop" policy is the same as it ever was: gar

It's common to write the thrush combinator as a lisp macro. Clojure ships ->, ->>, as->, some->, some->>, cond->, and cond->> out of the box. You can find similar macros for CL[0], Racket[1], and a scheme

At least on a personal max account, I can't max every window. There is also weekly limit. If I max every window, I run out of tokens halfway through the week.

I probably enjoy ELF hacking more than most, but patching an ELF binary via LD_PRELOAD, linker hacks, or even manual or assisted relinking tricks are just tools in the bag of performant C/C++ (and probably Rust too, but I don't ge

I wish env -S was more portable. It's a newer feature of the coreutils env implementation and isn't supported elsewhere afaik.

If you can be prosecuted for guessing urls you can be prosecuted for sending garbage data in a way you know will be uploaded to a remote system.

I suspect this data is made "anonymous" and sold to insurance companies and misc data brokers. If it's linked to my insurance company, I don't want to jack my rates. Further, I've thus far avoided a CFAA conviction

.interp to a glibc/libc you ship or static linking. These days it’s probably faster (in dev time) to just run a container than setting up a bespoke interp and a parallel set of libraries (and the associated toolchain changes or binary

by emidln 1y ago
Static linking doesn't produce smaller binaries. You are literally adding the symbols from a library into your executable rather than simply mentioning them and letting the dynamic linker figure out how to map those symbols at runtime.

If the integrity protection is like any of the TPM implementations I've seen, it often doesn't apply once the thing is already in memory, just that when it first loads that it (and everything before it) was attested. This matters

If you take a look at the binary that decides whether to boot the secure firmware or the tamper screen, it's probably trivial to patch to get the secure firmware running for more inspection. If the point of the linux system is networki

This looks neat. I remember the various fvwm95 and icewm themes doing a similar number in the late 90s and early 2000s. It would be fun to pair this with Gambas[0], a free VB6 clone that works with GTK. [0] https://gambaswiki.org

I'd recommend nanobind over pybind11 at this point. Similar api, from the same author, but under active development and support.

It's possible to use bazel to do this. You need to be very explicit (The Bazel Way(tm)), but in exchange, you can ask the graph for everything that is an rdep of a given file. This isn't always necessary in bazel (if you avoid wei

Linux on a Skylake-era i7-6820HK (quad core, ~3.2ghz) runs modern GNOME or KDE just fine. I had 64gb of ram and had cleaned the guts and installed a slightly bigger/faster NVMe to use in the last year. It runs LibreOffice or GoogleDocs

IMO, the language is only a small part of a deeper relationship with your IDE. The IDE needs a good debugger, a good introspection system, and good hooks to modify things (ideally anything). Emacs meets this criteria, but few others do. Thi
