Materialistic[0] effectively does this (minus the screenshot part), not intentional I think (I belive it makes the webview as tall as the requested page and then uses the OS native scroll widget to add a scrollbar for it). The problem I reg

I wonder who is behind this sudden push for these age verification laws. This wasn't an issue until recently and suddenly there are not just laws in California and Colorado, but also New York and Brazil.

I quite dislike the defer syntax. IMO the cleanup attribute is the much nicer method of dealing with RAII in C.

It looks like VVC (H.266) will be significantly better compared to HVEC and AV1. But due to the patent issues it'll bound to have, I suspect common usage will practically be nonexistent, just like HVEC.

Yes, as unsigned overflow is fine by default. AFAIK the issue was originally that there were still machines that used ones complement for describing negative integers instead of the now customary twos complement.

> since it's .NET you can embed the runtime in any .NET application not actually "embedded", more like a bit of shim code that extracts the runtime into some temporary directory that then runs the actual code.

They absolutely know about this, given that the seemingly reworked markers for this tablet have a redesigned nib holder that doesn't look like it breaks as easily as the old ones. This is a common enough issue that there are people on

Still, if you include transitive dependencies you end up with a total of 90 dependencies[0] which is unheard of in systems programming. This for some reason includes stuff like "winapi-i686-pc-windows-gnu" which really has no plac

I wonder how this behaves in combination with __attribute__((cleanup(...))). Especially if the to be cleaned variable is passed into the tail function as parameter.

Obligatory Lunduke warning, but I feel like the main point of the article (that the project was led by someone without any qualifications in leading such a project) still stands.

The ESP is just a FAT-32 partition, so its capable of being up to 4GB (by default). At 4GB you can probably store most linux distributions on the ESP, so the title makes it less impressive than it is.

You can usually with not having the initial part. As long as you do call the exit syscall, it should work.

GLib also provides macros that use autocleanup.[0] Using a bunch of macro magic, they allow you to write `g_autoptr(GPtrArray) arr = ...` to automatically unref arr when the scipe exits. One footgun that autocleanup has and C++ smart pointe

Wouldn't it've been easier to compile mono for Windows 95 instead of spending countless hours debugging an ancient release of .net without any sort of debug symbols?

The thing I like about the Xcursor image format is that it so extremely simple[0]. Every semi-competent developer should be able to implement a parser/writer for the format in under an hour. But encoding the images with PNG does make s

It's common practice to have the committer not match the author (especially in environments where only patches/diffs are sent). I can't imagine the git project having any issue with that, given that the author field stays ret

You could probably write a custom git credential helper that does that, if it doesn't exist already.

You'd still have to parse & compile the contents of the header for each translation unit, instead of only once.

If you can use GCC to target all platforms, you can build with -std=gnu++XX to use C-like initializers.

Well, it depends on what you consider "properly configured". But I'd say most systems used by developers aren't secured against these attacks. This mostly boils down to (like discussed elsewhere in this thread) that the
