Impressive. Someone should do jq-jit too. I briefly looked into it and it seems like it would be _a lot_ of effort :/

Long time Android user, switched to iPhone when I broke the screen of my Google-gifted Nexus 3a. Final straw was the latest update. Every widget became bigger, with a border radius taking way too much space on the screen. Some widgets (e.g.

If capitalism causes censorship, that doesn't mean it's necessarily the worst at causing censorship. Additionally, we don't live in a stationary society, so, whatever capitalism did or did not cause in the past might not appl

I did some research on PII being harvested by Android apps. TL;DR: The EU could pay a couple of reverse engineers for 2 months and print money out of fines. I was shocked to discover that (back then?) apps could just straight up read the li

Tbh Unix programs don't handle non-ASCII text very well, in my experience.

You can do a lot with just bash + pipes + unix tools. It can get messy as your pipeline grows though, and there are a lot of edge cases. Relevant: "bashML: Why Spark when you can Bash?" ( https://rev.ng/blog/ba

Get ready for canvas-only websites with wasm. Good luck adblocking.

Just FYI: draw.io uses SVG foreignObjects for styling the text in the diagrams. That means that to get a proper rendering of the resulting SVG you need to look at it in a browser. If not, it has a fallback text element, but you lose the sty

I see that kind of advice thrown around a lot, but that's just the sales pitch of PhDs, not the reality.

Guilty too. I had this idea to improve the order in which I should study kanjis. Ended up with a neo4j instance with kanjis, kanji components (not just radicals), words, and how they are combined. Now I'm still using the same algorithm

My problem with Twitter is that a lot of researchers I follow make a lot of noise (e.g.: giving their opinions on things 10 times a day, tweeting random "facts" about life, etc...) but once in a while they tweet very informative s

I think the question is not if you *can* work that many hours but if you *should* do it. Ofc there will be a minority of people that perhaps even enjoy it, but the vast majority is gonna suffer serious mental health issues. Not to mention t

I am using descript for a project of mine. You can definitely still hear that they are AI-generated. But I'm sure it's not gonna take long. Couple this with SSML and it's going to be quite convincing.

They've been using wifi/cellphone data to track tourists' flow for at least a couple of years. What seems new is the control tower thingie (Orwellian af) and the tracking of the tourists' origin. I somehow doubt that the

Actually I think the biggest problem is predicting correctly all the jump targets.

Yep. Actually we have a C helper per instruction and generate IR blocks full of CALLs to such helpers. Then the inliner and other optimizations take care of doing their work. Anyway, if you never used LLVM, be ready to spend some time getti

Yep. For a project at my company we are doing pretty much the same as the author's (though for another architecture) and we JIT basic blocks on the fly using LLVM + C helpers. Slightly OT, but even by JIT'ing + caching it's n

How about no? Parsers are one of the main sources of bugs in software. You should write parsers manually only when you have a very good reason to. Go ask any of your system security friends.
