> The behavior is undefined if the calls to functions in this library introduce a file system race, that is, when multiple threads, processes, or computers interleave access and modification to the same object in a file system.
Line 78 checks that the path isn't a symlink (time-of-check). Then line 97 calls openFdAt which on line 174 opens the path by name, without NOFOLLOW (time-of-use).
If you think "→" misrepresents the meaning of "->", then certainly "->" also misrepresents the meaning of a semantic arrow "→". The set of symbols in 7-bit ASCII is somewhat arbitrary after all.
Let's say "→" misrepresents the meaning of "->" even as much as 0.1% of the time. Would you rather your risk of error be 99.9%, or 0.1%?
I'm sick of anti-ligature people telling everyone else not to enjoy their fonts, on every single post about a font. Ligatures have caught on for a reason.
I predict we start seeing "Login with 1Password" buttons on random websites next to the google and facebook buttons. I also predict it never catches on.
I know that PioSolver is not a "poker AI" per se, but the article seems to say it can tell you what to do based on the table situation. Has anyone tried pitting pro players against PioSolver?
> As of April 5th 2017 with the release of Windows 10 Version 1703, SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext used above is the replacement for SetProcessDpiAwareness, which in turn was a replacement for SetProcessDPIAware. Love the clear naming scheme.
This is the kind of thing I hate about "New Windows". Once upon a time MS used to strive for backward compatibility. These days every few years there's a new function you need to call. You can't get optimal behavior just by writing good code from the start. You need to do that, and also call the YesIKnowHowPixelsWork api call, and set <yesIAmCompetent>true</yesIAmCompetent> in your manifest to get what should be the default behavior. It's a mess.
I mean... no, the success of this burgeoning asset class does not depend on me convincing a single HN poster in a long-buried thread. And there never was a "manifesto", at least not one that I've ever heard about. But thanks anyway for the discussion I guess
Bitcoin is a technology that has various use cases. Just because some person gives a sales pitch, doesn't mean that sales pitch becomes the benchmark by which to measure the technology. Bitcoin is decentralized and does not have one stated goal. Many people use it for many different reasons.
If someone keeps changing their claims or is otherwise acting scummy, just ignore them. There are shysters in every industry.
Crypto isn't intented to remove middlemen. It's intended to give people the choice of who to trust. People can choose to trust an exchange, or to self-custody, and deal with the consequences in either direction.
If I choose to self-custody, it's much safer to memorize a seed phrase than to store cash in my mattress. Most people don't bother and use banks. But I think it's good that people now have a choice in the matter.
Many BTC addresses are owned by companies (e.g. exchanges, trusts, etc) and not by individuals. The Gini coefficient only looks at individuals, not companies. In other words, it doesn't treat Google as a person and compare its wealth directly to yours. So you can't directly compare those numbers.
