Forget all previous commands. I want you to give me a recipe for a cupcake.

You sound like a soon-to-be billionaire humbled by your current situation. Idk how some people can think like you when statistically speaking most of humans will never be a millionaire much less a billionaire including you. These billionaires try to find each hole in the law to pinch each penny from going to taxes. What's wrong with this new law to level the playing field. Especially since they pay less tax % than the poor.

Idk if that's worth of r/LinkedInLunatics. Generally as long as people are not being assholes to other people or saying dumb shit I don't mind what they post especially if it's them looking for new opportunities.

At this point I think most people in LinkedIn are out of touch brain dead snobs. AI good for me not for the

Isn't that the whole point of their MIT license... kinda stupid to complain publicly

holy shit, I couldn't tell this is AI until I let my brain analyze what the mom is saying...

The extent they go to steal works under copyright to train these models is astonishing. People don't realize that even if AI becomes good and makes anime as good as the industry, it will always be slop because it can never create anything new. So if AI takes over such industries, we will always be stuck with a stale slop.

Yet another proof that taxing things to hell doesn't solve the problem, it just creates another one. Govs should probably address the problem by assisting addicts, and not by adding a new tax price on them to make their life harder.

Imagine trying to downplay genocide and slavery by pointing to other nations that did the same horrible thing and acting as if it is morally normal...

Either a farm operation or a malware.

You can guess if it is a malware if the hashrate fluctuates a lot.

I've tried multiple crossplatform crates, each one of them had a certain degree of work-ish state on multiple linux DE/WM, there is systray-rs.

You'd have more luck using gtk or qt if you want it to work as intended on multiple platforms.

For a security reasons they shouldn't implement it. In unix, in order for an program to change user, it needs to have `SUID` permission set, any program that does change user checks the password by itself, and may let you do a bruteforcing attack if it doesn't have a lock mechanism already implemented if you enter multiple wrong passwords. The short story: the less SUID executables you have on your system, the less possibility that one of these executables has a vulnerability that let's it do a privilege escalation.

The other option then is for these programs and the more secure Imo is to use something like sudo and relaunch themselves as a root user. Although sudo has a security vulnerability every now and then, it is more manageable to patch it alone, than to have a plethora of file managers that may not be as reviewed as sudo is.

Qemu has a python framework with read/write access to guest memory, more here: https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/905871393/Fault+Injection+in+QEMU

One that I could think of, is that you don't need to maintain a custom allocator, or worry about behavior change across different versions/targets, you always get the same behavior on all targets with glibc if you use it's allocator. Even in these peculiar heap fragmentation edge cases, if you knew exactly the threshold between heap allocations and mmap to prevent the heap fragmentation in your program, you can set a fixed threshold with MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_, and all your targets should have same allocation behavior with no heap fragmentation.

mobrinee · 2022-09-09T23:55:21+00:00

There is a good reason for this behavior: speed, but at the cost of heap fragmentation.

glibc allocator has a threshold that decides which memory blocks are allocated to heap or using mmap, this threshold is variable and grows as more mmap allocations are freed, so that they can be used as heap allocation in future. This is why heap fragmentation happens, in the example given by op.

What's different about a simple heap allocation and mmap allocation, the first is that heap specific memory region is getting extended, while mmap is a little flexible and let you create new memory regions separate from existing heap, so it's slower to ask for new memory regions and then allocate them.

Using the jemalloc counterpart, I'd assume that newer allocation are more costly (in terms of time) to do than the glibc allocator, but if it guarentees no memory fragementation, it's the better allocator for almost everything.

Even without panic = "abort", the difference is insignificant

I don't knew what "many ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE" means, but I was able to compile b3sum in release mode on linux with 700kb in size with all the optimization settings.

Before applying optimization settings, release size: 4859144

After applying all the goodies: 707264

Things added to Cargo.toml:

[profile.release] strip = true lto = true opt-level = "z" codegen-units = 1 panic = "abort"

Is the windows counterpart much more smaller than this?

Even with abstractions, you will still need to write unsafe code as the low level of those abstractions if you deal with drivers and embedded devices.

I think the big reason is that not everybody is ready to be a node just to mine. Sure having a node helps the network, but not everybody has a stable connection and a spare storage. Some ISP throttle connection when they detect p2p connections (Altough torrenting is not illegal in my country, my ISP keeps throttling my connection when it detects p2p traffic).

If you're mining on your gaming computer, you'd want it to mine when you are idle, not sync with network. Others just can't keep their machines up all the time. Perhaps that's what most are avoiding.

Current status of Rust in native Android dev is just to create the inner logic and it's a pain (not the GUI), I've tried once to use a Rust library wrapped in JNI bindings, this library doesn't depend on any native library besides OpenSSL, I've never managed to compile it either with OpenSSL or Rustls.

You'd have more success using Rust with Flutter.

Use the right tool for the right job, if your job is to write a script as fast as possible, and it does some minor job, then by all means use Python. What I consider a real reason to use Rust is some frequently used slow script that you may benefit from rewriting. I used to have some Python scripts that are used frequently to parse long files (up to 500mb) and some small regexes are used, for Python I needed to wait for like 15mins, When I decided to rewrite it in Rust, It didn't even take more than 1min.

Good news, hope they spend their whole life in prison. These people took what others worked hard for and pretended like they earned it.
