Is there anything like a “Windows From Scratch”? like taking a full Windows installation and copying binaries and components to new machine one by one, mainly to understand how Windows is structured internally?

I'm afraid not. this is based on interpreter written in JavaScript so you need source code. i think you probably want something based on strace

is it reasonable to have a keyword for tail-recusive return? basically it means I'm writing a tail recursive function and give me compile error if it occurs at non-tai-recursive positions

ir193 — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 05:14:18 +0000

That's awesome!

I was thinking about a similar reverse-wordle clone, but focusing on mind-reading between friends. The core idea:

1. uploads your full wordle solution screenshot (with each guess) to the server. The server does an OCR and store it.

2. get shareable links from server, send to friends. Each friend gets a unique link

3. friends guess what you guessed.

4. you can see how well each friend guess

there's a hidden feature I don't like at all. if you double click on the "white area" just inside the border, it goes into a " maximized" state where title bar and menus will disappear.

it's so easy to enter this mode by mistake and no obvious way to get back

edit: was wrong about the test price. It should be $38.99 / ea test.

it's not true. Han Chinese are clearly genetically distinguishable from Yamato Japanese and Koreans, and internally the different Han Chinese subgroups are genetically closer to each other than any of them are to Koreans and Japanese.

Gene doesn't lie

We should not make fun of log4j2 developers for the work they're not paid for, they made it in their spare time. it's a shame so many companys are using log4j2 but few(if not none) sponsor them. https://github.com/sponsors/rgoers
