It's difficult to find a succinct overview. Here is a slide deck buried among links: http://www.capstone-engine.org/BHUSA2014-capstone.pdf

Oh, I thought this was an OSS remake Dune II. How sad... heh.

OMG, I remember copying official 5.25 disks back in the 90s...

Nice! P.S. who remembers the legendary Phrozen Crew cracks? They were minimal byte patches that often toggled a conditional jump in an MS-DOS app/game...

Is there x86-x64 assembler? If so, I would have put that on the front page...

LOL, shout out to SEN - I used his tool, Hiew back in 1994 for the first time. Good times. P.S. I still use it from time to time - it has a nice built-in assembler for x86/x86-x64.

Did they fold the LSM idea? What about the single global namespace in which all records live?

Oh, wow, that's right. That note is here: https://sqlite.org/src4/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

All good critique. Not sure whether it's better to overload a command or force users to remember multiple ones... I used Mercurial 12 years ago before learning Git - it was a great stepping stone. I loved `hg` CLI as things made sense

LOL, someone told me in an interview that they are a C++ expert. I asked them if that refers to their company, or the wider community, or the C++ Committee members or the C++ compiler frontend maintainers. It should be a science. It should

Oh no... am I the only one disappointed that they made it fold the wrong way? I was hoping for a phone that's half the size of Pixel7 when folded...

LOL, here is my C++ implementation of the same concept: https://github.com/os12/calc

CA voter here - I believe that's correct to an extent. This is a blue state so you cannot influence presidential election here. However, there are local policies/measures/propositions and that is why people turn up to vote.

...and adjustments have been happening over many decades. That's why, say, California has many more electoral votes (55) than Montana (3). Yet it's still not completely proportional as California has about 40M people while Montana

I think the word you are looking for is "quadratic".

Well, the financials look shady to me: $900 loss and no plan in sight. Perhaps the IPO euphoria was that short-lived? Regarding the post-ipo crash - yeah, FB did that. Yet they turned a good profit soon after and then rebounded.

Well, I would like to get a Model 3, yet I want Tesla to get glitches out of their production first. I am sure v2 will be much better (sw/hw issues, trim quality, gaps etc). And then they need to start all over with Model Y. What quali

I don't think that is possible. I used early versions of IDA Pro on MS-DOS in 1996... and it had the core analysis and interactive disasm mode then. Ghidra seems to be based on this very concept, all the way down to the "XREF&quot

Let's not forget https://www.radare.org which is trying to be a OSS IDA Pro.

Yeah, I hear you. Yet all you (we) need to do is find a friend/colleague with a Model 3 and go to lunch/test-drive together. In fact, I would value my friend's frank opinion over a slimy car salesman's one.

Not really, a Civic starts at 20K in the USA.

...and yet I managed to knock the price down by 5K and 2K off MSRP when I bought my last 2 vehicles. So this destination charge is often a moot point with regular car brands/dealers.

It's cheap in NorCal - my friend had a Model 3 delivered by a dude. Literally. A dude drove his car to his house and then called Uber. P.S. by "dude" I meant that the man just drove the car to the owner's place from thei
