In page 44 onwards, this describes how to do class-based OOP with assembly language extensions to generate vtable calls. I wonder who ever used that…

You can watch Leslie Lamport himself explaining it at https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/video/videos.html . It doesn't cover Pluscal, but goes deep into TLA+. (BTW count the different shirts).

By transcript, I mean every command and every response in the debug session. Usually, in the beginning, I do not know yet what I'm looking for, and set breakpoints at points that may be interesting, and when I reach the breakpoints, I

I can really recommend debugging with command-line gdb (inside a text editor, of course; we're not barbarians). The transcript that lets you look back at the past of your debug session really adds a new dimension to the debug experienc

Just learn a tool at a time. Ftrace, for example, is a nice tool to trace kernel events. It is not the coolest kid on the block, but simple enough for basic things.

Mermaid has explicit support for diagrams that look UML-ish (never mind the filled triangle arrowheads for inheritance): class, state and sequence diagrams. Graphviz doesn't do that easily.

Remember when Blackberry succeeded in the market by calling their text-messaging device a "two-way pager" even though, technically, it was a mobile computer with modem and not at all a pager? Chances are you'll fare best by h

If you're at least a bit into home-lab tinkering, you could run NextCloud from a Docker container on your NAS or home server or RPi. For external access limited to your family's devices, you could use Tailscale. But yes, you could

There are occasionally projects on hackaday where people replace the firmware of cheap fitness trackers, like https://github.com/curtpw/nRF5x-device-reverse-engineering -- you could start from there.

So what about the other improv principles... "Is my partner having a good time": Make your partners look good. That is usually a good idea in any team. "Find the earliest end". That would mean don't ever maintain an

The reason why this works is that IBM CGA/EGA/VGA map their text-mode video-RAM at segment 0xB800..0xBFFF, and in graphics-mode at 0xA000..0xAFFF. MDA and Hercules, on the other hand, map the video memory at 0xB000..0xB7FF, for re

So while we're in the market for "words your language doesn't have" -- any recommendations for Turkish words you haven't seen in other languages?

While we're proposing useful words, may I humbly suggest two useful adverbs: "fei" (Bavarian): in contrast to what I think you're assuming. "Des is fei da letzte" -- "This is the last one, and I think you

Bugzilla does it out of the box, even using GraphViz. However, Bugzilla only has one flavour of dependency ("blocks"), whereas JIRA implements the whole Allen Interval Algebra (which, however, only those people use who have ever w

At first I thought this was a firmware mod for those calculator watches, but it's a new circuit board. Comparable in power to those TI msp430 developer watches, but with better UI possibilities.

Does it use GNUnet? I only see them mention REST here, HTTPS there. As to the carder-friendlyness: credit card companies are known to treat payment aggregators with lots of suspicion, so I suppose there just won't be many credit-card-t

The authors are employed by TU Munich and Inria Rennes, paid for by taxes, so I guess they assume that some taxation is necessary. At least they designed some anonymity into the taxation interface. How much remains to be seen.

This sounds a lot like David Chaum's eCash of the 90s. You transfer ordinary money into a Taler account in a Taler bank and transfer them to other Taler accounts, and from there to ordinary money. That's unlike Bitcoin in pretty m

Just the same as Emacs scripting and Eclipse plugins. You can do the same with both, but the initial friction of bootstrapping a Plugin Project, declaring this year's flavor of OperationDescriptorFactory, etc. discourages plugins for o

ecryptfs is also file-level, though more difficult to set up. (The "e" is for "enterprise", so you spend time entering token into keyrings etc).
