While I am not particularly interested in the design, I am intrigued by the idea of making your own monitor. I have had some ideas about features I would like in a monitor before. Are there some boards out there that are easy to hack on to add firmware features etc?
The whole thing is a joke but presented in a serious manner. The idea is that if you know your program input at compile time you can turn everything into a constexpr which gets evaluated at compile time so your program is "ran" by the compiler instead of at run time. So he built a "runtime" that is actually ran by the compiler around this idea for fun.
I know this is just anecdotal but just want to say I got my current job just applying to a job from a linkedin email. I admit I was surprised how easily and smoothly it all went actually...
I just remember as a kid somehow always ending up with open box stuff from fry's that was clearly labeled as such and having a lot of stability issues lol.
I think Communism is a 19th century pseudoscience idea like phrenology. There’s no evidence these things are real but phrenology was easy to discount while many people still choose to believe in Communism despite lack of evidence of it working long term.
This happened to me before and I reported it through their website and they actually fixed it for me at least, I guess the problem still exists though.
I would think you would not even have to expose it directly to fire, you could put it on a rock above or near the fire. Also you can of course heat rocks in a fire and put them into water to boil it.
Ha I ported my c solitaire program (uses SDL2) to iOS a couple years ago and it was pretty smooth. I didn't know or think this was unusual, but I suppose most people would not start an iOS app this way.
I am not sure, I have looked into whether vim mem maps files or not over the years and get conflicting answers. Some say no, some say newer versions do, or it depends file type (binary vs text) or it depends on what plugins are enabled etc. All I know is I often see gvim processes using tons of rss memory.
I am interested in this. At my job we have shared systems where engineers often open very large files (10+GB) using vim/gvim and it loads the entire thing into memory and often means these servers are memory starved. Would ropey help in these situations?
I have felt the quality of google search declining for years, but I'm going to buck the trend and say that the AI results have been getting better for me lately. At first I was ignoring it, but now it seems to mostly have the info I was searching for without having to go to satckoverflow or whatever.
I've been thinking about the opposite on my gentoo desktop, eliminating the initramfs. My understanding is if you compile the essential drivers you need for boot in the kernel (not as modules), then you don't need the initramfs step. Should result in faster boot.
> can't even necessarily depend on bc/dc being available in every environment
Just discovered this myself, also trying to make a language target shell. Was really surprised bc/dc was not present I think in Ubuntu install in WSL2. Also using awk for floating point math, but just shelling out to it.
OMG Can't believe this, I ran into this exact thing at my last job. We discovered a security vuln in several of our services because we were accepting unsanitized usernames, but since we and doing things with them (passing them to scripts etc.) but only after passing them to useradd/usermod etc so we thought they were safe, and of course you could put in things like ";" and "&", ">" etc and do whatever you want. I discovered that debian DISABLED the username sanity checks and could not believe it. anyway I installed a patched version as well as sanitized input and other stuff to resolve the issue.
A lot of focus on employee performance, but relatively little on management performance. I always wonder how a once great company can slowly decline into irrelevance. Take yahoo for example, it could only be due to management failure over several decades right? How can companies optimize for management performance?
I did this for a while but was a bit annoyed with the delay since it "unplugs" and "plugs" in the mouse/keyboard each time you hit the button. What I ended up doing is buying a used KVM switch with DDM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_device_mapping) which allows pretty much instant switching.
I always wanted to do something like this with "earth mode" radio. That is, signals sent through the ground. You can put a couple conductors in the ground spaced far apart and send signals into them and it can be picked up miles away apparently. Would be really slow, so probably text only, but also probably no one would notice. I also vaguely wonder if this would still be regulated by the FCC since it's not through the air...
I wonder how these "office raids" would work for remote first companies that don't have much of an office presence and with little or no physical documents and everything being stored in the cloud somewhere.
I got a 4k 32" IPS monitor years ago and was never really happy with it for similar reasons. Scaling never felt right, 2x is like basically using 1080p and fractional never looked good or had issues (in linux). Now I have a giant curved samsung display which is like two 1440p monitors side by side. There is a new version that is like two 27" 4k monitors side by side and I am just worried I would have the same issue I had before... I kind like being able to see my pixels :)
