Is there any situation where you’d want to remember the opcodes? Disassemblers should give you user-friendly assembly code, without any need to look at the raw numbers. Maybe it’s useful to remember which instructions are pseudo instructions (so you know stuff like jz
(jump if zero) being the same as je
(jump if equal) making it easier to understand the disassembly), but I don’t think you need to remember the opcode numbers for that.
Edit: Maybe with malware analysis where the malware in question may be obfuscated in interesting ways to make the job of binary analysis harder?
they break with monospacedness
The IDEs I’ve used had the ligatures be of the same character width as the original operator.
Why are you casting to void*
? How is the compiler supposed to know the size of the data you are dereferencing?
I wouldn’t trust ChatGPT with teaching me about some tool. It in my experience very convincingly spews out stuff it invented, and if one is still learning I can see it being hard to spot those errors. I use it to fix syntax errors in SQL queries, though, since I can’t be bothered to try understanding the not-so-helpful error messages I get with my queries, and because if chaptgpt tells a lie it will be caught by my syntax checker.
So, I guess you can use it, if you always assume it to be trying to mislead you until proven to the contrary.
Is xml really that unreadable for machines? I enjoy xml as a format, because I can generally just convert it to an s-expression and easily manipulate it as a tree.
I don’t remember the last time I had to worry about the compression. I simply run tar xf myfile.tar.whatever
and it works every time.
Some people use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment. It kind of gets the pros of tabs (user configurable indent-width) and the pros of spaces (alignment). That doesn’t work in Python where you can’t align stuff and the interpreter doesn’t allow mixing tabs with spaces, but in other languages it is a possible style.
That’s not true though. You can get the backtrace and other useful information from the coredump mentioned by the error message by loading it with gdb. Not as good as attaching it to a living process, since you can’t see step-by-step what happens leading up to the error, but still quite useful.
Bots are the ones running the show here too though.
Is this about hexbear and lemmygrad? These accusations have never made sense to me. They have been here long before it became popular and they had the same opinions back then. It makes no sense and is a waste of resources to have bunch of bots posting stuff when there is no one to read those posts.
Is there a link to the original post? I want to see the replies. Unfortunately I can’t find it.
Embarrassingly for someone whose native language is german, I often use the masculine when the neuter should have been used, because they feel the same to me. I never was taught any formal grammar in german, though, so that might play a role.
I didn’t stick around because one of the issues was that if you ended up striking an interesting and wholesome conversation, you’d never meet this person again and this bothered me.
Couldn’t you have offered some permanent contact such as social network profile to remain in contact with that human?
Would failing to deliver CPR be considered a violation of this law?
I always thought they should be singular to be closer to the names we give entities and relations in a entity-relation diagram.
Does the OOM killer actually work for anyone? In every linux system I’ve used, if I run out of memory, the system simply freezes.
I remember Lemmygrad once had a problem where a federated instance had allowed a bunch of bots to sign up, which then added around 1000 downvotes to the top posts on lemmygrad, IIRC. They defederated from that instance to solve the bot problem.
But it is in no way worse than javascript in that regard, though?
I don’t think static typing in Python is really so essential. I see it above all as a scripting language, so its applications don’t benefit as much from static typing as other languages do.
Maybe a better hypothetical python would have used some kind of type inference system, like in haskell, which allows for static typing while still allowing to write code unencumbered from types and stuff, but I really think, for Python’s target domain, its type system is actually adequate or good. Maybe its documentation could benefit from type hints, though.
I’m not sure, but I think that might have been part of the joke, seeing all the comments here.
