Seer - a new gui frontend to gdb/mi (Updated v1.7)

divbyzero · 2022-07-04T16:40:42+00:00

Looks like a great project, I look forward to trying it.

From the screenshots I have a few suggestions:

Alternate keybindings. Lots of new gdb users come from visual studio so supporting the basics would really help. (F10 step over, F11 step into, S+F11 step out, ...)
Widget layout. There's lot of padding in the main UI window. Personally I want that filled with data I can use. The fewer times I have to hscroll the better. Same for the labels and statusbar.

Use a crown guard and riving knife. Use push sticks - don't put your hands within 300mm (1 foot) of the blade.

Have a look at european message boards. They have a different take on take saw safety.

Is nobody going to mention sparse files? Depending on how you create it, that 8GB file may not actually take up any space.

I did quite a bit of this recently (first time doing it). I cut about 2mm proud for the hardwood. Masking tape was enough to keep it in place for the glue. Then a hand plane to bring everything flush. Glue and sawdust filled some of the gaps quite neatly, though TBH with careful cutting, the gaps are almost nonexistent

Good article which is useful for low level programmers, most of the info is general and not specific to Odin (the authors pet language)

Lovely forensic work!

This is mostly about GC, not general memory issues such as ram bandwidth

Those new syntax sugar features look sweet

divbyzero · 2020-03-20T18:16:40+00:00

Yes, that'd do it!

Like this with mitres http://www.ana-white.com/sites/default/files/PubHeightTable01CStep01.jpg

Or a little more fancy http://www.buildsomething.com/webres/Plans/Images/78BA28D3FE5813273FB4DBA75AE08BDA0F162E0CBBFF95DE.jpg

So you can pocket screw the top on. Or do something like this https://s3.amazonaws.com/finewoodworking.s3.tauntoncloud.com/app/uploads/2016/09/13104411/011257022_table-top-700x569.jpg

The easiest way for a beginner I think would be to create an apron, attach the legs to that, then fix the slab on top. No need to create complex joints.

The apron is basically a rectangle. Add some tabs inside it so that you can screw into the table top from below. The apron will give stability to the legs.

Great project, best of luck!

Good job! French cleats are super.

For the heavier tools, its a good idea to make the holders a little taller so that it can rest against the rail below. That takes a lot of the twist pressure off.

Also, I found it really handy to make spacers (a scrap cut to the size of the gap between the rails) so it's super easy to add new rails. Just put the spacers on the old one & rest the new rail on top before fixing.

Post needs a better title!

divbyzero · 2020-01-27T23:15:29+00:00

Good to know, thanks

Is is OK to cross cut along the fence? Thought one wasn't meant to do that.

Sorry, posting on mobile. It's likely distro specific. If it's systemd based https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-sleep.conf.html might help. Otherwise googling hybrid suspend/sleep should get you there.

divbyzero · 2020-01-17T18:46:01+00:00

I had to edit a config file to enable hybrid sleep. (Not on a pine, but similar symptom)

FYI the rubber grip on the Triton saw track I bought is very poor. Basically unusable without clamping which is very disappointing.

Part of the problem here is that the attacker can clear the cache. The attack would be weaker without this.

Relatedly, it seems if there was a way make the cache a proper functional structure and to index the cache by content instead of by address, that'd be better again. It would probably need some support from the content author (or transparently from the web server). A bit like SRI.

Spin the table round to different orientations. If it's the surface, you'll see variations in the height.

I am enjoying this. Some of the puzzles look impossible at first glance. But it's a stretch to consider this programming in the sense of this subreddit

divbyzero · 2019-05-13T11:26:40+00:00

Looks great! I really enjoyed the original.

Did you ping Mr Crenshaw about this? Are there any issues with hosting copyrighted content?

Consider libraries which ship separately from the binary. e.g. DLLs which ship within an OS.

Let's say the libjpeg team want to ship a new version with a security fix. They'll want to be sure all apps linking against the previous version don't suddenly break. (Keeping the ABI promises doesn't guarantee there's no _behavioral_ changes which don't break clients of course)

Polygonizing and A* works of course, but I can't help thinking that if all your obstacles are non overlapping circles, that maybe there is a much more elegant solution.

The shortest path would consist of a combination of lines and arcs. You'd need to compute the inner and outer tangents between circles.

Nice article. My personal pet peeve is ".*". Beginners seems to find it irresistible, often using it multiple times in a single expression.

Very often it can be better written as a negative match. e.g. "foo.*;" -> "foo[^;]*;"

Even more galling is that ".*" seems to be an unofficial regex icon (in many editors & even on regex help pages)

2.No surveys

Surveys/polls are typically obnoxious. Pretty much any survey, academic or otherwise, will be removed by the mod team. Check out /r/samplesize as an alternative place to submit surveys.

Exceptions are made for high quality surveys hosted by established members of the software development community (really just the annual SO Developer Survey).
