The user discusses the challenges of decompiling Java class files, particularly with try-catch blocks, due to edge cases and complexities in the JVM design and class file format. They explain how javac handles try-finally blocks and the implications for decompilation, including the need to consider type checkers, exception handling ranges, and exemption from exception handling.
The US government may ban TP-Link devices due to security concerns and ties to China. TP-Link denies the allegations, saying it has split from the Chinese company and manufactures in Vietnam.
Edsger Dijkstra was a highly influential computing scientist who made significant contributions to the field, including the ACM Turing Award. He maintained a collection of technical notes called EWDs, which are now available online.
Sedentary people may have normal lab results but are metabolically impaired, at risk for diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Regular movement can reverse these changes and improve long-term health.
Diffusion models learn a reverse process to transform noise into data through a continuum of intermediate distributions. They use a time-dependent velocity field to transport a simple prior to the data distribution.
A beautiful, native macOS application for browsing and managing your Android device files via ADB.

The Master System console's design is more "down-to-earth" and user-friendly compared to Nintendo's systems, which often require combining multiple mechanisms to achieve desired results. The Master System's hardware is largely backwards-compatible with the SG-1000, allowing for easy adaptation of existing code and making it a fun and powerful platform to work with.
You wanted a portable, compact device with a large screen for coding and terminal use, built with off-the-shelf components and using existing Raspberry Pi 3b+ hardware. You're sharing a DIY project with assembly instructions in progress, seeking feedback for improvement.
A developer spent 20 years relicensing the 1987 game Conquer, a pioneering multiplayer strategy game, under GPL to preserve it for future generations. The effort involved tracking down original creators, understanding changing licensing landscapes, and using modern tools to revive ancient code.
The user implemented a CHIP8 virtual machine in VHDL and C++ with a focus on opcode implementation and assembly notation, creating a simple assembler and a game to test it. The implementation includes a Finite State Machine, BRAM for RAM and VRAM, and a ClockDivider, with some areas needing tweaking for optimal performance.

The Email Verification Protocol enables a web application to obtain a verified email address without sending an email or requiring the user to leave the web page, enhancing user privacy by not informing the email service of the application's identity. The protocol uses a selective disclosure JSON web token with key binding (SD-JWT+KB) that separates token issuance and presentation, allowing ...
Vasyl Lanko implemented Linux-like namespaces in NetBSD as part of Google Summer of Code 2025. The project focused on UTS and mount namespaces, with UTS allowing hostname isolation and mount namespaces enabling different filesystem configurations.
A developer encountered a rare bug in the Karafka gem where an internal FFI Hash was replaced by a String at runtime due to missing write barriers in FFI versions less than 1.17.0. The bug caused 2,700 identical errors in a single incident and was fixed by upgrading to FFI 1.17.0.
The user built a wifi-controlled water gun to deter pigeons from their balcony using an iPhone camera and a python script with openCV. The system successfully kept pigeons away for six days before they adapted to the new threat, prompting the user to consider alternative solutions.

binfmt_misc (short for Binary Format Miscellaneous) is a Linux kernel feature that allows the system to recognize and execute files based on custom binary formats. It’s part of the Binary Format (binfmt) subsystem, which determines how the kernel runs an executable file. Normally, Linux only knows how to run native binaries (like ELF files compiled for the system’s CPU architecture, and a few ...
The average time to solve a random puzzle is 0.01 seconds. for the list of 95 hard puzzles, on average we need to consider 64 possibilities per puzzle. if d2 is reduced to one value, then eliminate it from the peers. with less than 17 squares filled in, it is known that there will be duplicate solutions. the algorithm is simple: first, randomly shuffle the order of the square s. if ...
