sqlite's test suite is substantial and not open source, I doubt you could really fork it in a meaningful way

I particularly like how it can predict hair styles. Not only how a barber would do dreads but also how they would color it and how they happened to brush their hair on a given day.…

Isn't that called geofencing? It's been around for years. I always felt that the main reason e.g. Facebook wants you to use their app is to be able to supply data for conversions o…

I am not Jeremy but I have taken part in the current course and also took some lessons by Siraj (who also does lessons at udacity), Andrew NG, and Karpathy. I think all of them are…

If this project discussed here is using react and rust together, could I just use an react example for OAuth2 to get started with? Up to some months ago, there were no examples of …

I wanted to use rust for web development for a while but always struggled with just getting an OAuth2 example running in the past, has this improved recently?

Couldn't one try to at least limit the feedback loop by spreading sulfur over the affected regions by plane? (Simulating a volcanic eruption that reflects sunlight)

How does that work? Should the kernel walk the stack to change all the saved cookie values of the forked copy? I doubt the kernel even knows where the saved cookie values are store…

It increases the complexity of the attack. Usually, stack cookies make ROP harder these days but guessing the cookie only has a complexity of 8*256 (on OpenBSD), but xor'ing the re…

It was on posted as Show HN six days ago but didn't generate any discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14512531

When you deploy: Will you lose requests that are currently being processed while you restart the service? Also, will a server still receive requests while the new code is being sta…

Hey, I am a bit late, but I wonder how you generally handle unicode in C++, since the language itself does not have much support for it. That's what always makes me weary of writin…

A good way to learn asm is through books but there are not many for current architectures (especially x64, except the official Intel manuals which are quite good but also hard to r…

I'd say NVidia use closed source mostly to push Cuda instead of people trying to use openCL. E.g. their OpenCL driver imposes 3GB memory limits (or at least used to in the past) fo…

AFAIU, the length is negative but it is then treated as an unsigned integer by vDSP_sveD. So the function iterates over the given vector until there is a memory exception (As the l…

I've been looking at the stack trace in gdb a bit. And it seems that inside CoreText TStorageRange::SetStorageSubRange calls void vDSP_sveD(double *__vDSP_A, vDSP_Stride __vDSP_I, …

Any ideas why PowerPCs stalled in performance? Is PowerPC really an architectural dead end?

I tried to register but it seems that one has to have a UK address for that. That's a pity...

It should be noted that on the official llvm irc channel (#llvm@oftc.net) people do not like llvm's IR being called a "progamming language". Rather it's intended to be a representa…
