Ruby's un/pack is of course heavily inspired by Perl's: https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/pack However, slicing strings is a little easier syntax-wise than in Perl.

And don't forget the venerable .NET Forms with its kilobytes of __VIEWSTATE

A couple other people mentioned ClearCase which has something similar if you use their NFS based thing, you could see file or directory history and info by accessing something like…

DuckDB and Microsoft Access (!) have a PIVOT keyword (possibly others too). The latter is of course limited but the former is pretty robust - I've been able to use it for all I've …

While not talked about on HN as much, the big corps doing monorepo use something like Perforce which has "protects" tables allowing very granular access control

WHMCS is probably the easiest batteries-included tool for the job, giving billing, management, and a customer support portal. These could be unbundled or reinvented but for your av…

It's C++ programs in a Userscript format, which are compiled with a bundled instance of clang. Windhawk shows diffs of version changes, and most programs aren't much longer than a …

It happens to me on many sites too, I'm not sure what causes it. Seems to mostly happen in Firefox iOS

Schwab supports Symantec VIP but there's a python package to emulate it, which will give you a regular TOTP setup code.

And it's not even all of the government, plenty of counties and even their departments have random domains leaving you wondering if it's just an elaborate phishing attempt

I love LINQPad and happily pay for the license. My hope is that once he figures out the CLR host for Mac that he'll also come out with a Linux version of LPRun, since I want to aut…

Many older .NET applications saved programmers from this by providing "C# scripts". The framework includes the compiler and then it's trivial to use the compiled artifact. You can …

Shortcuts is pretty hard to use but it is possible to POST. Here's one of my shortcuts https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/81229c80b3ec4c32bec866e2b8f...

As a fellow 2012 Denon owner (AVR 3313) you can probably remove the RPi and just use HTTP. Just use devtools on your browser to do an action in the web UI and see what request it s…

I guess you could say this is the modern version of the TV Typewriter: https://www.tinaja.com/ebooks/tvtcb.pdf

I think the archaeology was part of the problem. Through its last days there was a lot of, well, garbage that absolutely nobody would be interested in. Like iPhone 3GS cases c.a. 2…

It's still possible, even into places like WordPad. When it's rendered (i.e., when you're not currently editing the embedded item) it becomes a bitmap (at a usually not great resol…

In the keynote speech Jensen joked about selling a jacuzzi add-on

If your data is small and your needs simple, don't forget about the old school scripts like http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/jse/index.shtml

The title should be all caps. From this page [1]: > Note: DJGPP is spelled all upper case when it would normally be capitalized, and all lower case otherwise. It is never correct t…

I'm not sure what hifi system OP has, but another way to do this is by emulating the iPod remote mode over USB. It saves a bunch of trouble with emulating files. Denon/Marantz prod…

Not really. Most of the tcl that gets written is very straightforward and business-logic. The framework you're using is pretty much just the host tool. Trying to integrate other li…

You'd be surprised. I've worked at 2 large hardware companies you've definitely heard of and both use tcsh. I guess it's a holdover from the early-mid 90s when the shell story was …

There's tools like Wondershare transfer. It's not free but does a surprisingly good job of converting between android and iOS. Somehow they figured out the secret sauce of Apple's …

> I want to make sure that using your GPU is as easy as pie For Nvidia they made the PGI compilers free with the HPC SDK: https://developer.nvidia.com/hpc-sdk
