Is there a tool in Windows that will dump all of a process context to debug these kind of things: CWD, env vars, current user, elevation, etc.

That’s a rare privilege!

I haven't used these in a long while.

Is this a fork? What's Cuis' main selling point compared Squeak and Pharo?

Lots of paying customers also depend on the open source part of GitHub to run their business.
I'm actually surprised Claude was about to do that much.

I hadn't even considered handing it a visual mockup to work from. Event though that workflow is par for the course for any web design team.

I would assume there must be at least some prior work into locating individual assets in a larger canvas. It just needs to be integrated into the pipeline.

Major nitpick: ARK is not a hedge fund but an ETF. My understanding is that it tracks an actively managed list of public stocks.

I'm sure it's not much consolation, but "actual" hedge funds are for the sophisticated investor. These funds have access to more sophisticated ways of wiping out investor money.

You're right. Cathie Wood's ARK is all about "disruptive innovation". It's no surprise to see the fund falling after tech. stocks were so grossly inflated.

As an investment strategy, it's a long-term play. Whether the holdings make sense is a whole other question. But don't expect a huge change in strategy just because the markets are down.

Is this about the old DEC Alpha?
Microsoft offering the Windows ISO for download is a recent addition.

If you had to restore a PC 10 years ago, your only options were to obtain a restore disk from the PC manufacturer, use a restore partition on the HDD (assuming it was intact) or buy Windows.

In the past, I had to get restore disk images on BitTorrent to fix friends computers.

Independent discovery don't happen overnight. Intel must have been aware of these vulnerabilities for some time.

edit: I'm sure everyone involved acted responsibly. I'm just curious as how far apart these independent discoveries were made.

The bug has been around forever, but it must have been discovered relatively recently since it's not fixed in hardware yet.

I've always been baffled by the concept of simultaneous discovery.

For the cloud providers it's the security of the hypervisor that's at stake.

Re:Mozilla Acquires Pocket on Wednesday March 01, 2017 @10:03AM (#13764160)
Mozilla's donation page says: We are proudly non-profit, non-corporate.

I don't know the ins and out of Mozilla dual identity as a foundation/corporation. But it'd be unsettling to learn that part of your donations to an open-source project is financing a corporate acquisition.

Re:Ranges in C++: Counted Iterables and Efficiency on Monday October 06, 2014 @09:50PM (#8419353)
Let's hope that makes it to the standard.

Begin & end arguments are distasteful boilerplate (safe for these few times when you need a subrange or pointer pair)

I like C and how it handles pointers and arrays but was it really such a departure from what was available then?

Lots of hackers only care about having enough pixels to legibly represent characters in their tiny coding font.
