I am not disputing that implementing a self-hosting C compiler in 40 days is a nice achievement, but this number has limited correspondence to actual...

Fixing such a problematic machine usually requires root access or physical access to the hardware....

Some notes:

- If dmesg output contains the description of a software or hardware fault, an attacker might in theory use this description...

[atomsymbol]

You are right. I failed to realize that in the distant future the LTO which will be able to inline across shared libraries will be transparent to current...

[atomsymbol]

You are right. In year 2019 the compiler (gcc-8.3.0) won't inline shared libraries even when "-fno-semantic-interposition" option is used....

[atomsymbol]

I am a Gentoo user and I don't see how LTO can be made stable on a rolling release Linux distribution without detailed records about what gets inlined...

HDDs have higher capacity than SSDs per drive. It will take some time (years) for SSDs to make HDDs obsolete in terms of capacity and in terms of cost-per-gigabyte....

[atomsymbol]

ext4 is a very good filesystem if you don't need compression and have a reliable machine. A copy-on-write filesystem (e.g: btrfs) might have lower data...

I am waiting for a C++ compiler that will print a warning in such cases.

[atomsymbol]

First, I like your answer because it made me think. However, the issue is that there do exist cases in which it is impossible to know at compile-time...

I originally (yesterday) wanted to post a longer response. That didn't work out. The short version is as follows:

I am hesitant to use std::weak_ptr...

If the garbage collector supports finalizers and guarantees to invoke them, then garbage collection is strictly safer than C++/Rust RAII. In the typical...

[atomsymbol]

I agree. (On the other hand, garbage collection prevents the programmer from manual memory management optimizations. Assuming the programmer thoroughly...

Unless you provide credible evidence that Windows 10 operating system itself (and not a 3rd party Windows app downloaded from an untrusted site) performed...

In general I agree with you. However, Twitch [email protected], game=Sekiro:

I don't understand why (or: don't know if) your kid wasn't/isn't using a dual boot system which would allow it to choose which OS to use depending on...

What computation did you perform to support your conclusion???

My computation is as follows:

Some factors improving the cost...

It seems to me, I don't know why, it may be a prejudice, that most Fortnite players wouldn't like to have Linux as their primary operating system....
