    Can someone please explain the purpose of a logging library (woof, log4j, etc)? There must be something beyond writing text to an external file, possibly with different error level…

    Just make sure you get the latest Ghidra update with the log4j issue addressed :)

    Immediate action! Some person actually told me that Florida would be underwater in less than ten years now (I guess it kind of already is with all the hurricanes). Eagerly awaiting…

    YO. I measured it myself just to be sure and since you were such a dickhead. (Copying and pasting the output from console) With exceptions: Parsing took on average 135 us With erro…

    I'm guessing the author measured the overall performance and assumed that using error codes, rather than exceptions, is what made the sample code he provided slower. Turns out, the…

    I was attempting, perhaps poorly, to ask the authors if they measured the performance degradation or not with this change. That way we would have the data you are asking _me_, for …

    Homotopy type theory is a mathematical foundation, like set theory, or Martin Lof's type theory. This is different from a proof assistant like Coq or Lean. In fact, Lean has a libr…

    I think it is pretty obvious that Mr. Meyers never actually programmed / used C++ himself for any real projects. That he would abandon the language after only 2.5 years of nonuse m…

    You are right. That is not the same study. Thanks for pointing that out.
