Viewing profile — cautious_int

I don't trust open systems either. Don't put words in my mouth please. I reject the thesis that trust is binary. Were I to accept it, I trust nobody - everyone is vulnerable to bei…

This is a lose-lose scenario. If you don't trust a closed operating system in the first place, why would you then, after performing these steps, trust the system that it really doe…

The Sun is the center of the Universe. Interesting.

Transmission like this looks really good in a simulation, but I wonder how much lubrication would this require to operate in the real world. this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N…

Mill processors? Aren't they still in research stage, only using emulation and no hardware.

Why not put it into a Faraday cage?

I was talking about the same line. Apparently new is a "special" operator, or there is a bug in the compiler. I also can't get a warning with g++. The problem seems to be that, as …

Because no truncation happens. In this case [] operator doesn't specify any type, only that the expression inside is an integer expression. While normally the type size_t is used f…

This is a common problem in C. Integer types are inherently type unsafe and are silently promoted with many different rules which are hard to remember and understand. As is seen in…

Because unsigned overflow will not happen in C, and will instead wrap the value. The variables in question were unsigned. This is defined and perfectly normal. However signed integ…

Can you also fake/spoof the appropriate signatures/headers? Otherwise separating that data is going to be very easy. Unless you do it on a higher level like emulating input, but th…

Why?

Windows 10 seems to transmit information to the server even when OneDrive is disabled and logins are using a local account that isn't connected to a Microsoft Account. Well there y…

You got it backwards there. Only if you know your implementation and plan to code only for it, can you even start to consider bending the C Standard, and not the other way around.

Since you didn't back it back then, you can now buy it immediately on Steam. It looks like a functional game, and not a failed project.

Actually it is misleading by them( and you ) to assume that in C, an unsigned int can represent values larger than the largest signed int value. In other words, C allows that UINT_…

It is not true that unsigned wrap is defined? Did you even read my comment, here is the relevant part: unsigned wrap is defined

The conditional move still depends on both values taken from the array, via other variables.

Well a branch will fetch the incorrect cache line if it mispredicts, but a conditional move will fetch both cache lines every time.

That blog is wrong. The program won't be undefined( unsigned wrap is defined ), but the offset will not be correct.
