People... Please stop using foreign alphabets like that! It's a nightmare for those of us who know the alphabets. It took me a good 20 seconds to read the title. And it's magnitudes worse when someone uses cyrillic for instance and it's native to me.
Foreign alphabet transliteration drama thread under the best hacking-grade article in years. Thanks, hn.

The only boundary this transcends is readability and is ironically not portable at all.

It's a very cool hack and technically interesting, but I can't say that I share the author's "serious" rationale: >So I think it's really the best of times to be optimistic about systems engineering. We agree more on sharing things in common than we ever have. There are still outliers like the plans coming out of Apple and Microsoft we hear about in the news, where they've sought to pivot PCs towards ARM. [...] >If a…
Before I built Actually Portable Executable, PCs behaved de facto similar to mobile development restrictions, where for example if you want to build for Apple you download XCode, and if you want to build for Windows you have to download MSVC. But it thankfully has never been a hard requirement for creating first class native programs. It simply required the will to ignore official tooling and encode binaries the hard way that directly talk to canonical stock kernel abis, so that we don't need things like jenkins to compile release binaries n times for the same microprocessor architecture.
I had enough free time to do it. I've also shared a tool that makes it easier for everyone else to do it too. Enjoy!

This is a massive issue on Twitter when people use "vanity" display names as well.

> I believe that scripts without a shebang line cannot be executed by execve. This was once true on old systems, but current ones (including Linux) have native support for scripts starting with #!. See fs/binfmt_script.c in Linux, which has existed for several decades.
I'm talking about scripts without the shebang (#!) line.
There were once systems where scripts with the shebang line would get run by the shell rather than the kernel, hence my confusion.
