I needed to get the PPPoE account off a router once (My boss didn't remember the router's admin password), so I connected the WAN port to my laptop and captured the PPPoE packets. …

Create a StackOverflow + GPT site where questions can be asked in public with both human and AI answers. Make it clear to users that the content will be used in future training set…

I used c2rust to start rewriting OpenJpeg into Rust code [0]. It was easy to get the Rust code compiled and working as a drop-in-replacement for the C Library. This has been a big …

Would it be possible to build a rosetta stone for this secret language with prompts asking for labeled pictures of different categories of objects? Or prompts about teaching kids d…

A motion activated sprinkler could work too. Or buy a motion detector and have it activate plant water sprayers (the kind used for automatic watering of potted plants).

If both Humble and Webb were pointed at the same spot of the sky at the same time, the images could be merged to get a wider range of the light spectrum.

I just started using c2rust on openjpeg [0] (jpeg 2000 encoder/decoder) today and already have it working as a drop in replacement for the C libopenjp2.so on Linux. Still has a lot…

The Rust compiler can auto-vectorize loop code. This blog post shows how to write simple idiomatic Rust code that will allow the compiler to auto-vectorize: http://cliffle.com/p/da…

Someone wrote a 6 part of blog post [0] about porting that nbody benchmark from C to Rust. They went from a straight line by line port using unsafe rust using the same SSE based de…

FastCGI doesn't set environment variables. Only CGI does that since the CGI binary is executed for each request. FastCGI binaries run as a server listening on a unix/tcp socket for…

I wonder if a database of past videos of these people (after the truth is known) and machine learning would be able to make a bullshit/con detector? Maybe the same could be done wi…

The client doesn't have to use a "connected" UDP socket either. The client can bind to a random local port and use "sendto" to talk to many servers.

Is there a comparison table of CPU vulnerabilities? I would like to know which CPU has the least vulnerabilities or the best performance after patching. From what I have read so fa…

I have lost my train of thought from vague comments or questions like that. The comment in the article was "…email about that 'thing'". I would immediately think "what thing?", the…

Also with: ps get Found that accidentally because of autocomplete on my phone changed "-ef" to "get".

The readme has an example of unpacking Xcode and compiling a simple helloworld program using the CLI.

LLVM-lua was just an experiment. I wanted to see what kind of performance statically compiled Lua could achieve. I didn't really need the JIT feature. But I did add support for it …

I don't think that answer was there when I had first come across that question (back in 2010-2011). That answer is about typed languages. The issue is with dealing with dynamic typ…

I hadn't heard about that. I have been working on other projects, so haven't had the time to keep up with the developments in LLVM. Thanks for the heads up. The main issues I had w…

I have tried using LLVM as a JIT for Lua [0] (7 years ago), but found the codegen to be too slow [1] and use too much memory. It might have improved since then, but I really don't …

Companies using fake advertising need to be held accountable. I have seen and heard about so much fake advertising, that I don't really even care what the label says anymore. How h…
