sqlite's test suite is substantial and not open source, I doubt you could really fork it in a meaningful way

I particularly like how it can predict hair styles. Not only how a barber would do dreads but also how they would color it and how they happened to brush their hair on a given day. Very impressive!

Isn't that called geofencing? It's been around for years. I always felt that the main reason e.g. Facebook wants you to use their app is to be able to supply data for conversions of geofencing ad campaigns, e.g. someone saw an a

I am not Jeremy but I have taken part in the current course and also took some lessons by Siraj (who also does lessons at udacity), Andrew NG, and Karpathy. I think all of them are awesome teachers. Like Siraj's lessons, the fastai

If this project discussed here is using react and rust together, could I just use an react example for OAuth2 to get started with? Up to some months ago, there were no examples of using any of the Rust web frameworks with OAuth2.

I wanted to use rust for web development for a while but always struggled with just getting an OAuth2 example running in the past, has this improved recently?

Couldn't one try to at least limit the feedback loop by spreading sulfur over the affected regions by plane? (Simulating a volcanic eruption that reflects sunlight)

How does that work? Should the kernel walk the stack to change all the saved cookie values of the forked copy? I doubt the kernel even knows where the saved cookie values are stored on the stack. Also, that would make fork quite slow, dep

It increases the complexity of the attack. Usually, stack cookies make ROP harder these days but guessing the cookie only has a complexity of 8*256 (on OpenBSD), but xor'ing the return address with another value does increase the comp

When you deploy: Will you lose requests that are currently being processed while you restart the service? Also, will a server still receive requests while the new code is being started?

Hey, I am a bit late, but I wonder how you generally handle unicode in C++, since the language itself does not have much support for it. That's what always makes me weary of writing any kind of server in C++.

A good way to learn asm is through books but there are not many for current architectures (especially x64, except the official Intel manuals which are quite good but also hard to read). Nevertheless, there are some on ARM which I can recom

I'd say NVidia use closed source mostly to push Cuda instead of people trying to use openCL. E.g. their OpenCL driver imposes 3GB memory limits (or at least used to in the past) for kernels but with Cuda they will enable 64bit if nece

AFAIU, the length is negative but it is then treated as an unsigned integer by vDSP_sveD. So the function iterates over the given vector until there is a memory exception (As the length is very close to to UINT_MAX). It doesn't look

I've been looking at the stack trace in gdb a bit. And it seems that inside CoreText TStorageRange::SetStorageSubRange calls void vDSP_sveD(double *__vDSP_A, vDSP_Stride __vDSP_I, double *__vDSP_C, vDSP_Length __vDSP_N) with

It should be noted that on the official llvm irc channel (#llvm@oftc.net) people do not like llvm's IR being called a "progamming language". Rather it's intended to be a representation of llvm's internal data struc

Anyone remember Jordan Hubbard, co-founder of the FreeBSD project? He joined Apple around that time. I am not really sure how he compares to Linus but working for Apple does not go well with wanting to be a public person.
