That's not bad even for security reasons. It can be possible to recover your password if the sound of you typing it is available.

Honest question: how are "junior" and "senior" defined here?
214.
by giomasce 6y ago
I suppose it depends on the code you're trying to understand. Depending on its size, style (therefore, ability for a human or for a decompiler to understand it) and other factors, the best blend of tools can change.

Machine code is code like any other code. Sure, often not easy to read or modify, but not impossible. I'd start with a disassembler, a debugger, possibly a decompiler and lots of patience. Given appropriate time and pay I might even co

Isn't the optimization manual for Rosetta basically "Recompile for ARM"?

I don't see the key point: the two things (trusting the remote storage and the tool) are rather independent for me. I already trust probably billions lines of code which handle my data (basically, every program installed on my system).

I use Borg to a local home server and then Duplicity on the Borg repository to Google Drive (where I happen to have a lot of space for free due to my university). In this way I am protected from both loss or breakage of local server and fro

Do you really perceive EU/US having the same level of independence of judges, newspapers and regulation bodies as Russia and China? Do you think that minority parties and voices are accepted to the same degree?

I know, but the computer just has to do local corrections, i.e., varying a little bit the input on the propellers to keep the drone stable. On the other hand, there is no local correction that enables you to hover a winged plane (it always

Not an expert, but I'd guess quadcopters are much easier to pilot. You press a button and they go that way. Taking off and landing on wings is very difficult in comparison, requires more space, more facilities, more organization.

It's unfortunately late by now for you, but I would suggest to have a local copy of all your data in the cloud. I use offlineimap to download all my email boxes each hour and commit them in a git repository. If the lock me out, at leas

Wow! Things are really making progress in RISCV land!

Not GP and I know some Java, but not C#. As I get it, in Java generics are little more than sugar coating: they basically check that your are not messing up with types. Having a List<String> is not very different (maybe not at all) fr

Not completely passive and not really a side project, but my wife's business is teaching Latin (the language; I mean not the programming language, the language people actually speak; well, some people speak) on the Internet. She has an

Well, constructors are not very different from functions, from the caller point of view. Also, Python is much worse in this: any call can be monkey patched at basically any point during the execution, but people do not (usually) use this as

It's pretty strange: it seems that the person writing should be quite advanced in physics and mathematics (though I am not able to comment on her actual scientific merit), but it clearly misses very important and well-known facts. For

Really? In my experience, when DDG doesn't find what I need it rarely happens that Google does.

Link to the proof? Or at least, does the theorem has a well-known name?

That's actually true for most electromagnetic telecoms. Ten orders of magnitude between the transmitted and received power is usually the easy case. With more careful techniques you can do even twenty or more orders of magnitude. And y

Good! Mind you, they are not high quality images. They're just a raw mmdebstrap with little configuration, probably not suitable for production use. I mean them for development. (I specify this because you mentioned tool for actual pro

I have a similar thing with weekly updated images (from Debian unstable) and more supported archs here: https://people.debian.org/~gio/dqib/ .

They invent new scientific rules. With two caveats: first, the new rules are not independently tested by experiment (maybe they are vaguely justified by thought experiment; thought by them); second, their rules are just qualitative, nearly

How does science exclude the possibility of a decision to put us here? It seems to me that science (paired with a good bunch of epistemological assumptions) gives us the laws our universe follows. But as for why such laws are like that, or

I read a book I sometimes feel the need to grep it, just to realize that you cannot grep paper. Apparently I grew up on Linux shells instead of smartphones.

I wish conflicts between sovereign entities (or between entities in general) could easily be solved by sitting around a table and finding an agreement. Unfortunately diplomacy is still very far away from such a situation. International dipl

Possibly. But Google gets the bad PR and stays in the dominant position anyway, while Firefox more or less disappears. I don't say Google necessarily wants to be evil towards Firefox, but in their position it is enough to not care. Als

It's unfortunate you can't just write something like: FIRE(args) { // ... } without the explicit registration step. Unfortunately in this case the macro FIRE should first declare the fired function,

It also requires several megabytes of standard library, kernel, operating system and compiler, but the point is that you don't have to write them. That's why you use libraries.
