That reminded me of Inigo's "real pixel coding" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvS_DG8yIqQ

Re:Web3 doesn’t care about privacy on Sunday February 06, 2022 @05:48AM (#30231280)
That's a great video addressing many problems of crypto, like

- issues with privacy

- inability to hide data, piracy

- manipulated prices (due to "anonymity")

- bugs in smart contracts, problematic code redeploy

- questionable economy models of NFT games

I doubt there are many Russians who trust current government, I live in Russia and can't recall anyone. Even kids today are mostly opposite to government due to huge information campaigns. Those who deny Soviets crime are mostly misinformed, like US citizens believing in little green men.

That is questionable, people from Russia and Saudi Arabia had found way more oil in mid XX
Interesting whether apple's bitcode and app thinning breaks "reproducible builds". Also I'm not sure you still can get IPA file (app binary) from appstore/iphone.
I recalled leaking phone number for user's handle or vice versa, and while searching for the source found few more security issues.

Re:What if AI is a failed dream? on Friday July 14, 2017 @08:50AM (#14769359)
Interesting links, though blaming AI does not "solve the problems of today" seems naive. It does.

P.S. Funny that google suggests to search for "what can't we do without AI" instead of "what can’t we do without AI" ;)

Russians have similar system to filter local traffic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SORM
TempleOS features HolyC: "In other operating systems, I hated learning one language for command line scripts and another for programming. With TempleOS, the command line feeds right into the HolyC compiler, line by line, and it places code into memory it MAlloc()s. The compiler is paused at the command line, waiting for input. Naturally, you #include a program to load it into memory and, usually, start it. During the boot process, many files get compiled before you have access to the command line. (Don't worry, booting takes only a couple of seconds.) All the header declarations for the operating system are compiled and are available for use in your programs without needing to #include them. Everything is truly compiled to native x86_64 machine code, nothing is interpreted and there is no byte code."

Re:Mac Apps That Use Garbage Collection Must Move to ARC on Saturday February 21, 2015 @11:33AM (#9085932)
AFAIK python have kind of cycles detector enabled by default.
Re:Mac Apps That Use Garbage Collection Must Move to ARC on Saturday February 21, 2015 @10:54AM (#9085793)
Yes, refcount is stored for every object, but ARC is not able to detect cycles.
Re:DIY: kernel panic OS X and iOS in 10 LOC on Saturday February 21, 2015 @10:27AM (#9085732)
Yes, it crashes with kernel panic now.
Re:DIY: kernel panic OS X and iOS in 10 LOC on Saturday February 21, 2015 @09:30AM (#9085593)
No kernel panic, EXC_BAD_ACCESS in Debug/Release confs.

Possibly I have provided wrong prototypes, mach_vm is n/a in iOS: https://gist.github.com/cfr/425812debdb2a6d0449f
