I recently had an A-ha moment when I realized that the problem I was trying to solve admitted a simple solution with dynamic programming, something I had never used outside programming competitions. The problem was to divide a text into a n

Since I have my own domain, I receive all emails addressed at whatever@domain.com. Of course, different values of "whatever" end up in different directories, and should one of those display an insufficient SNR, it would go straigh

Yeah, I can see that. Fortunately on many axes the situation is getting better and better, as data in https://trends.debian.net/ show. But every single developer is still free to choose whatever tools they like, so there wi

What is a mess? The build scripts? More often then not, patching a source package amounts to add the patch in debian/patches and write its name in debian/patches/series. I don't find it terribly difficult, but maybe I am

I use Debian and feel satisfied about package management. What should I miss from Arch?

I would have preferred this to happens with RISC-V, though...

What is the total bandwidth Starlink is going to use once it is fully deployed?

Wow, in Belgium you can get the same for around 15 EUR and in Italy you can get 50 GB for less than 10 EUR...

The ISS has ~20 Windows laptops on it. Pretty sure there will be some SQLite around.

Do you have some link to documentation explaining how to setup/debug this kind of things? I tried to deploy Jitsi Meet on a EC2 instance with all access permitted, but it still had quite a few problems. Did not try to tinker with STUN,

That's right. Although I tried to setup self hosted both BBB and Jitsi Meet, and was not rally satisfied. Both had quite some problems with audio and video streams, which either didn't start or froze later. I think that both softw

It is more oriented to teaching, so it's more classroom style: there is a main presenter and many listeners, it had a whiteboard, things like these. It's quite feature-packed, while Jitsi is maybe more minimal.

Different people have different ideas on what "makes sense". The point of a standard is to not have to use common sense, which is usually not common al all. So there is no point is saying that when the standard does not say anythi

Since UB can be a bad beast to tackle while learning C and C++, I would suggest to frequently compare what you learn with cppreference.com, and check that you understand that what you think matches what the standard dictates. Cppreference i

I can agree with all the PGP bashing in the world, but it seems to me that PGP provides one thing that apparently nobody else cares about, and I don't understand why: the thing is identity verification. When I encrypt or sign I don&#x2

TL;DR: "Encrypted email is not safe according to my security model, therefore is not safe according to nobody's". I am not buying it. Warning about risks is ok, pretending everybody else is like you is not.

Or any manufacturer supported by LinegeOS.

Also, I believe that you can also access the object representation of the pointer and scramble it. If you fix it up later, I believe it will have to represent the original pointer, by C11 6.2.6.1 (4).

by giomasce 7y ago
This GC does not probably survive to pointer scrambling. If believe in C I can validly do something like int *ptr = ...; intptr_t iptr = (intptr_t) ptr; ptr = NULL; iptr ^= MAGIC; // do something else ptr

Probably not. FTR, I never said they should. I didn't propose any dependency on the number of residents, but this does not imply that I think there should be none. There are probably many other variables to take into account, and I did

I perfectly support house taxing being super-linear in the size of the house, if this is what you mean, in such a way that a decent house is as affordable as possible for everybody, and those who want very large houses recognize that they h

I don't think that outlawing car is a solution, but disincentivizing them maybe is: higher taxes with which pay a better public transport network, less and more expensive parking, more lanes dedicated to public or unmotorized transport

Yeah, but those two were two isolated issues in a decade. Now we're having a continuous stream of microarchitectural bugs that require more and more complicated fixes in toolchain, kernel and microcode. I am an outsider, but the impres

I am not really following the details, but it seems that Intel is taking a blunder after the other. Will we ever able to trust their CPUs again?

If it is so simple, I wonder why the problem takes so much discussion to be solved...

LineageOS is very nice, also because it gives you the same experience of different devices. You know that it will be easy to have root, you know you won't have to learn again where every menu is, you don't expect too many surprise
