Thank you very much! Cool idea, will try adding it in the next update, thanks again!

tools output validly formatted files for a reason. there is not really a good reason to mess with headers etc. , the savings are so tiny its only fun for obfuscation or tiny binary contests...

imagine, this linker name string.. its few bytes from 13K bytes. does nothing useful.

a lot of parsers of file formats do ignore most fields as do linkers/loaders. AV engines look a little more at it and might trigger on anomalies simply because its indicative of tampering (not neccesarily malicious).

deviating from the norm is fine as long as its grounded in a good reason, and clearly explained. simply pushing some weirdly formatted binary without any explanation, thats not very strategical in today's landscape of messed up binaries and threats. - just my 2 cents ofc.. im not an authority on the matter :p


Hello, moderator! I read your message and wanted to ask you for links to similar comments about people who created their own programming language so I could understand how to properly comment. Don't worry about the website; it's constantly updated, and documentation is currently being developed for Lax, detailing its commands and providing examples of each command. This will help me learn Lax syntax and be able to write anything instantly after reading the documentation.

All the problems that people see in Lax can be easily solved through updates. Lax was created as an ultra-light language that can be written almost immediately after downloading and does not require additional installation of various libraries. It was also created for writing programs on Linux as a binary file that can be used as a program. It is because of this feature that Lax updates commands and adds new ones to make it easy to do anything with it. Unfortunately, only the CLI version of all written programs is currently supported, but in the future, it is planned to add the gui command and others for interacting with the system through the GUI and UI, and not just the CLI through the terminal.


Meta, like the rest of the industry, handles the strategy of layoffs badly with nondeterministic multiple rounds and chasing the behaviors of everyone else.

Cut once and deep, because round-after-round of half-hearted layoff uncertainty will eviscerate morale and drive away top talent.

I used to know people at RL and the average sentiment seemed to be hotter than hot shit. But it was bungling by someone in RL who shall go nameless about internal opportunity exploration I think got me laid off in retaliation by my direct line manager. Enough gots that ego sans cool to meet their professional crazy vs. hot ratio, and the ultimate unkindness is reducing folks to anti-Kantian interchangeable cogs to add 0's to billionaires' pockets.


Some projects offer the app for free on Fdroid and charge a small fee on Play. Might be an option as well.

Would you call it a K-top Defect Hunter?

Lots of extraordinary athletes are not good role models, yet we still grant them O1 visas. Many of them have many children to different women and are terrible fathers. To me, influencers are like the athletes of the attention economy. In the old world (20+ years ago, before iPhones), media was much more tightly controlled. It was harder to get famous. Now with mobile Internet, a new, parallel fame hierarchy that appeared. To me, most influencers seem like popular people from high school, but they use social media to extend their reach and shelf-life.

It's not apples-to-apples though due to the difference in heating efficiency. If you use N kWh to heat your house with a gas boiler, you'll use N/P to heat it with a heat pump. P is something like 3 or 4, depending on various factors (and who you ask).

And construction as well. Concrete is emission-y.

Interesting theory. I haven't had change to try that kind a situation. The biggest game by people was like 6 people and 2 experts.

I can see that thou. I often had to give example rules for people, thou I feel like it robs part of the fun.

With more experts it could make things better, if they go easy on start. If they go full on with super hard rules, the half attention newbies would be lost.

Thou if the newbie really wants then they could learn in that big expert play too.


Net is excluding tax, you mean gross.

The point isn't the technical inability to block particular IPv6 addresses efficiently, but anticipating abuse potential by IP. You can change IPv6 addresses freely compared to IPv4. With IPv4 its easy to predict if you are dealing with a residential IP or VPN. IPv4 addresses are blocked preemptively, that's not really a thing for IPv6. Eg. VPN providers wouldn't have static endpoint addresses with IPv6. So you may be able to limit spontaneous abuse such as DDoS attacks, but it's a lot harder to filter technically legitimate traffic, which is merely unwanted for your data aggregation.

great project, good luck finding more users! it works fine on my device, the animation on the main page is cool. would love to see a collection of all the different rockets through the years, keep going!

Thinking for a moment what "recycling" a washing machine would look like and it's very obvious it would just mean paying a 3rd party to dump it in the 3rd world somewhere to be stripped if at all. Hard to imagine it's not causing more environmental damage by having this policy.

I'm a big fan of high-level languages and abstractions. I'm just not a fan of bad abstractions.

>Now of course, in some Perfect World, GitHub could have a local runner with all the bells and whistles.

Not by GitHub, but isn't act supposed to be that?

> Nobody makes fun of LED light bulbs because (up front cost aside) they are wildly superior to incandescent.

There's burgeoning movement called "PWM sensitive"[1] that's opposed to (cheap) LED lights.

Would a tool like act help here? (https://github.com/nektos/act) I suppose orchestration that is hiding things from different processor architectures could also very well run differently online than offline, but still.

They're great, because you can use all standard ARM tooling, including CMSIS-DAP dongles for debugging.

+1 to this, but not necessarily in response to your question - but so that you can stay on top of all the errands that build up over the course of your life, and that materially benefit you! The sense of security from that has notably improved my work.

Sorry, but this sounds straight up like “lock yourself up in echo chamber”. I don’t completely disagree that many things just don’t work, especially planners. Meds are just too easy to use, you basically buy yourself a “walking stick” and do nothing to learn walking by yourself. This is something a lazy/ADHD person would do, not a one willing to strengthen their mind.

This hardly matters unless electricity prices for end consumers go down. And that can hardly happen without improved transmission lines and storage. And those are consistently being blocked by NIMBYs.

This is not a matter of policy, but of physics. Producers are far from consumers, in both time and space. Wind turbines are dispersed and far from cities, wind doesn't blow when there is high demand. And yet, these sources are being plugged into a grid that was built over decades under completely different assumptions.

No wonder the energy prices are high.


> There's no such "reason"

You share that with no justification.


A classic example of this is the Google Nest Learning Thermostats Version 1 and 2. With a decent bounty, these £220 ($400+) devices have been given a new lease of life by the team behind:

https://nolongerevil.com/

Repurposing bricked Nest Gen 1 & 2 thermostats with custom software. Giving old hardware new life through open source innovation. No Longer Evil is a right-to-repair firmware and cloud replacement for Nest Thermostats that frees your device from Google’s cloud dependency. By flashing custom firmware, your thermostat will operate independently and connect to No Longer Evil’s platform (or your own self-hosted server), giving you complete control over your device data and settings.


PCs are orders of magnitude more complex, with a lot more to break. Sounds like a whole lot of work for… what?

Assuming the internet connection and AWS work of course. Which they won’t always, then oops.


You are not a failure. Don’t blame yourself for the circumstances in the industry. You accomplished a lot by completing your degree. Perhaps you could consider looking for work outside the US. Have you tried searching for a job in Europe?

That’s not what I’m suggesting at all.

If you can, find an old tape deck at a thrift store and look into cassettes as well. They're super fun to find and you can buy new ones from groups on Bandcamp usually way cheaper than any other merch offerings and still get the high quality FLAC files. I spent some time last year going through a variety of tapes that were up to 40+ years old and was shocked at how good some of them still sounded.

You wouldn't download a car ...

Trading engine will not run Rails for sure but the web UI to monitor and control trades might do.
