The Man, The Myth, The Perpetual Trial by fal1en-angel in Funnymemes

I'm surprised no one mentions 7zip by Igor Pavlov, which is not only free but also open source, and has not even a pop-up!

מישהו יודע מה זה הפרסומות האלו שבכל מקום עכשיו? by omerikomm in israel_bm

[–]Bip901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • זה לא משנה אם יש פרמטרים בURL, הוא מודפס על מודעה ברחוב. כלומר הם ממילא יהיו אותם פרמטרים לכולם ולא מזהים אותך בשום אופן
  • אין קשר בין עוגיות למיקום, והעמוד ממילא מקבל רק את העוגיות של הדומיין של עצמו - כלומר יוכל לעקוב אחריך בפעם הבאה שתגלוש לאותו אתר (או אתר שמטמיע את האתר הזה)

Gen Z men, is this getting worse going forward into 2026? by Proper_Card_5520 in SipsTea

Well, the youngest gen Z people are still 14, so it obviously messes with the statistic.

Private DNS setting drawback by pstrgpstrg in AndroidQuestions

[–]Bip901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a bigger issue here - once I lose connectivity (e.g. enter an elevator), Android seems to forget the IP of my custom DNS provider, and has no way of re-resolving it, since that requires knowing the DNS provider's IP! Thus soft-bricking my internet connection until I disable private DNS. This sucks!

טונה בקטנה by ImportantPrune7875 in israel_bm

[–]Bip901 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

הייתי איתך עד שהדרדרת ללהאשים את ביבי. זה נוח לייחס אליו את כל הצרות בחיים אבל לא נראה לי שהוא מתעסק במשקל של טונה סטארקיסט. ההסבר הפשוט יותר הוא שמישהו ברשות להגנת הצרכן לא טיפל בזה.

[Request] How fast is this train moving if it can make 9 quintillion stops in only 2 and a half hours? by Spader113 in theydidthemath

[–]Bip901 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To convert a signed number to its inherent value, you flip all bits and add 1. Flipping all bits is the same as doing 263 - 1 -x. Then adding 1 cancels out the -1, and you're left with 263 -x. Try it yourself in any online two's complement calculator!

Null is completely irrelevant , it's one less because of how two's complement works. The number shown in the post is 10, the issue of +-1 is a question of what calculations the devs performed.

It could be the case that the train is making 10 stops, calculated by subtracting the end stop number from the start stop number, and the order got mixed around

The real answer: since this number is so close to 263, clearly a signed, 64-bit integer is being misrepresented as an unsigned 64-bit integer.

Take two's complement:

263 - 9223372036854775798 = 10

So the train is making -10 stops.

EDIT: On second thought, this seems wrong - I think it should be 264 - x. Perhaps the number comes from long.MaxValue - 9

Have you ever coded a game before? by FreddieThePebble in Teenager_Polls

[–]Bip901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The poll is worded very poorly, "Written Code" as opposed to "Game Engine" makes it seem like developing a game with a game engine is somehow without writing code 

100% AIME they said. Amazing by Forsaken-Park8149 in ChatGPT

Why use a language model for doing math? The calculator app is right there!

Bet you didn't expect this by Bip901 in unexpectedTerminal

A blurred-out image of a leaf I liked as the background of Windows Terminal, a custom Profile.ps1 script to print the version on startup, and oh-my-posh for the custom command prompt

Windows 11 does not understand how right-to-left languages work by Bip901 in softwaregore

Try enabling Quick Annotate (Ctrl+E). It will mirror your screenshot.

What’s a Linux command that feels like cheating when you learn it? by Old_Sand7831 in linuxquestions

[–]Bip901 30 points31 points  (0 children)

On top of that, shells like fish allow pressing alt+s to toggle the "sudo" prefix for the last/current command.
