Por último, para finalizar esta serie de artículos sobre paralelismo , vamos a ver como usar la GPU. Ese componente que hasta hace unos años solo importaba a la gente que jugaba videojuegos pero que ahora se ha vuelto de tremenda importancia, ya que son la base de las IAs estadísticas. ¿Qué es una GPU? Las siglas GPU significan Graphical Processing Unit. Aunque la tarea que tenemos entre manos, pintar el fractal de Mandelbrot, puede cons....

The most recent project I worked on is Invoicetronic , a modern API for complete management of the electronic invoicing cycle in Italy (FatturaPA/SDI). We had long used an internal API by our accounting software, which was also utilized by thousands of our end users. We decided to make our experience and expertise available to external developers, allowing them to integrate electronic invoicing into their applications quickly via a publi..

Tlačová správa: Výzva Vláde SR k podpore usporiadania vedeckej konferencie o kovide Vyzývame preto Vládu SR, aby podporila usporiadanie takejto konferencie, ktorej závery by prispeli nielen k upokojeniu situácie, ale aj k vytvoreniu podmienok pre skvalitnenie nášho zdravotníctva V čase keď sa schyľovalo k rozhodnutiu Mestského súdu Bratislava v trestnom stíhaní MUDr. Petra Liptáka za

This week I reached a milestone in my most useless side project so far. I finished writing a tic-tac-toe game in Lean 4, along with proofs to guarantee that the game behaves correctly! It “only” took me 20 hours, 1000 lines of code and endless suffering… Totally worth it, as you might expect. Chances are you haven’t heard about Lean before, so I’ll share more details below. But first, let’s have an overview of this article’s contents, since..

searchcode HAS been rebooted see https://boyter.org/posts/searchcode-has-been-rebooted/ for details. By the time you are reading this, searchcode.com’s DNS should have been updated to point at a placeholder index.html file I created. In short I am shutting down the current iteration of searchcode.com, unless something drastic happens in the next few days. The reasons for this… are few, but worth exploring. While I have often desc..

How you engage with the world changes how you experience the world, and how the world experiences you. A snarky and cynical approach, by its default assumption that things are shit, or if they are not yet shit will inevitably turn to; such an approach will give your world a malodorous brownish tint. Granted, snark gives you plausible deniability, a motte-and-bailey that protects you from direct criticism, encountering backlash you can a..

There's this huge financial company in my country that's basically backed by the government. They're running everything — transport, banks, ATMs, payment terminals — total monopoly. You can't even ride a bus without having their app installed and buying a ticket through it. What really caught my attention though are their kiosk terminals. I'm almost certain they're weak as hell. I'm thinking if I can figure out the endpoint these kios..

Recently, I downgraded my Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise installation to Visual Studio 2022 Professional, which worked well, except that I couldn’t compile anything with CMake and couldn’t open most C# projects, as MSBuild was failing with the following cryptic error message: Project.csproj : error : The expression "[MSBuild]::StableStringHash(Project.csproj)" cannot be evaluated.

In response to Apple vs. Facebook is Kayfabe ... He’s right, though. We are now at 25% of the way through C21. Most of C21 IT today is “kayfabe”: deliberately fake, to fool the audience. SaaS: fake corporate IT services for company directors too cheap to hire competent IT staff. The lie: it’s OK and safe to let other companies run your IT for you. The truth: if it matters, own it, run it yourself. Public cloud: it’s cheape....

From roughly the late 80s until the mid-90s, every month I would visit the newsstand at my city’s train station, hoping to snag the single copy of BYTE Magazine that arrived in town (at least one other hunter was competing with me: I often won, but not always, which frustrated me tremendously). I understood little to nothing with my rudimentary school English, but I was too stubborn to give up. I credit BYTE Magazine as one of my significan..

Hello /sec/, I come to you with a conundrum. I want to have a laptop with "beefed-up security", but I'm also going to be using it for dev work and general crap like video conferencing. Right now it runs alpine as a temporary solution, I pretty much just use the browser (librewolf), but in the past I have used GuixSD and found it to be much more pleasant for development. The main goals I have are: having long battery life, being able to '....

Detecting reads from uninitialised heap memory in C++ programs at runtime

Reading from uninitialised heap memory looks like this: unsigned int* v = (unsigned int*)malloc(sizeof(unsigned int) * 100); if(v[0] > 1) printf("boo"); These reads can be pretty hard bugs to detect in a lot of cases. Let's look at some tools that can help us find these bugs. First off, most malloc implementations in debug mode will fill the memory with a special byte pattern like 0xCDCDCDCD. Unfortunately this doesn't directly help ....

At the time of writing, the most recent Adobe Reader 25.x.y.z 64-bit installer for Windows 11 weights 687,230,424 bytes . After installation, the program includes 'AI' (of course), an auto-updater, sprinkled ads for Acrobat online services everywhere, and 2 GUIs: 'new' and 'old'. For comparison, the size of SumatraPDF-3.5.2 installer is 8,246,744 bytes. It has no 'AI', no auto-updater (though it can check for new versions, which I find..
