A neat trick I was told is to always have ballast files on your systems. Just a few GiB of zeros that you can delete in cases like this. This won't fix the problem, but will buy you time and free space for stuff like lock files so you can get a working system.

Good showcase. Your code will match the first parameter that has <param> as a suffix, no necessarily <param> exactly (username=blag&name=blub will return blag). It also doesn't handle any percent encoding.

Props to Intel duping AMD to buy Xillix for whooping $50B

I'm German and had a startup in Germany (standard UG holding + GmbH).

My one advice to anyone thinking of starting a company is: don't do it in Germany. Tax burden, insane bureaucracy and a conservative, tech adverse local market put you at a disadvantage against UK/US peers.

>German founders are incentivized to move abroad before exits

Don't do that. The tax office will treat that as a sale and will tax the current valuation at 20%.

As a long time vim users, elisp is something I always envied the emacs guys for. I love vim and bram but viml is a pos. The result were a multitude of language bindings. Of course, now everyone uses their favorite language to write extension which meant that most non trivial vim configs require a working python, perl, ruby and ocaml interpreter on the system. Lua in nvim fixes that, now I only need to install a billion language servers before I can start working :D

I quoted this, in full, in my MSc thesis. It's both a light hearted introduction to the Halting Problem and something you need to reference quite often when writing about static program analysis. Good times.

Funny and a good reminder that there is much money to be made from just packaging code off Github in a usable UI and providing binaries for the 99%.

It has a lot to do with Google. MS Research it a pretty good example how to turn your industrial research into products.

Finally a reason to update from 4.2.0

Good news for cryptographers in case we need an alternative to LWE and coding-based PQC.

It's an integral part of my workflow now. I love it. My common use cases are

- generating doc comments that are 99% correct

- completing boilerplate like error handling (f- you golang)

- write a "quick start" skeleton for unknown libraries and frameworks

I got these on Brave on two different computers. Disabling hardware acceleration fixed it. Both had Intel graphics.

The work on stboot and it's supporting components, including documentation was moved to it's own Gitlab: https://git.glasklar.is/system-transparency/core/stboot

I'm not sure what you mean. BTC is up 29x since 2017 while QQQ is up 1.8x

I'm not sure whether this is sarcasm, but in case it's not: I do.

If you want to know whether your TPM is vulnerable I wrote a simple tool to check that: https://github.com/immune-gmbh/tpm-vuln-checker

How do I get continuous deployments without k8s? I value being able to deploy new code quickly, easily and fearless, especially in high speed low drag environments like startups. I don't see how I can do GitOps like workflows with any other tools that have the same large mindshare and breath of commercial, managed offerings.

I not sure whether that satire. In case its not, most languages that allow inline assembly (like C) have an optional "clobber list" argument that tells the dataflow analysis of the compiler that your assembly snippet overwrites certain registers [1]. Inline assembly doesn't have target specific clobber lists because it's assumed that the code only works on one target and the programmer has to take care of making it work.

Impressive. I wonder how much of this was planned by CZ.

Baker and friends pulling out the money and Mozilla employees turning the NGO into just another bargaining chip in the US culture war seems more like a symptom of the rot that set in years earlier. Since the late 2010s there seems to be a distinctive lack of vision at Mozilla.

Building a browser engine from scratch is akin to building an operating system. Maybe the new Firefox will be 95% effective vs. an only 92% effective Chrome but I don't see how this effort advances the state of the web in terms of freedom and user choice meaningfully. Like others here I switched to Brave a few years ago. I think their strategy of building interesting things on top of Chrome is smarter. Imagine if Brave where the prevalent browser and I could send anybody an .onion or ipfs:// link at it would Just Work (TM). Same with their BAT token. Instead of restlessly shitting on the idea, let's imagine it does work and we have an alternative to ads for monetising content. I find this way more exciting than parallel rendering and Rust.

For a Phoenix and later Firebird user like me it's sad to see what happened to Mozilla, but the only constant is change.

Edit: grammar

Build something people use.

Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin SV, Bitcoin Cash, Raven coin, Zcash, Monero, Kadena, Ethereum Classic, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Flux. Eth Classic, Flux and Kadena are the only PoW smart contract platforms in the top 100 AFAIK.

One of the projects on my secret TODO list is feeding Libgen into Elastic Search to get a cross referenced full text search. For now the hardware is prohibitively expensive, but time is on my side. I'm sure redundantly indexing a few 10s of TB will become trivial before the end of the decade.

Agreed. If the West would really be so concerned about Ukrainian civilians he'd pressure Zelensky to accept the fairly reasonable Russian demands: neutrality and a military exclusively for self defence. Just leave the door open for strictly economic integration into the EU like Switzerland or Norway and Ukraine had a clear way out of this mess. But this isn't the goal, the goal is NATO stationing nuclear ballistic missiles pointed at Russian population centers in Ukraine. Just like we have them Turkey today. So the killing will continue.

They get what they want out of life.

>Those aren’t all of my business failures but they’re some of my most notable ones. And, if you couldn’t tell from 25 years of trying, I’m not ready to stop just yet. You know how I started my family early? Next year I’ll be 45 and an empty nester. There’s no doubt I’ll be building another business soon.

I found that pretty motivating

The end of Wirecard.

I really like the idea of SCons. Writing Python is strictly better than using the CMake language or m4. But, quoting one of my colleges: "SCons spends 5min to figure out nothing needs to be done."

I wonder how they plan to get this into Chrome.
