i have been joking with friends that it's time to redefine saas to software-as-a-sentence

Out of curiosity is there a reason nobody seems to be trying it with factory.ai's Droid in these comments? Droid BYOK + GLM4.7 seems like a really cost effective backup in the little bit I have experimented with it.

   const secondStatements = [
   "SELECT quote(root) from ft_segdir;",
   "UPDATE ft_segdir SET root = X'0005616261636B03010200FFFFFFFF070266740302020003046E646F6E03030200';",
   "SELECT * FROM ft WHERE ft MATCH 'abandon';"
   ];

Just saw the proof of concept page. Looks like they are building quite the usual string in hex... Starting with a null terminator? Mmmhmmm

I casually thumbed through a few of the commits they posted and came across this

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/c368e30ae55...

   for(i=0; i=nByte ) return 0;      /* Input contains fewer than nChar chars */
     if( (unsigned char)p[n++]>=0xc0 ){
   -      while( (p[n] & 0xc0)==0x80 ) n++;
   +      while( (p[n] & 0xc0)==0x80 ){
   +        n++;
   +        if( n>=nByte ) break;
   +      }
     }
   }
   return n;

Looks like there may have been an issue in parsing malformed multibyte unicode characters properly.

Did you really find CouchDB that bad to work with? I never in the end settled on either couch or mongo for a project long term but when I setup couch to test it out a few years ago I had it up and running with functional replication quite quickly (i.e., one afternoon) from being a complete novice with the platform. It's built in web panel at the time basically handled everything from basic setup to replication quickly.

Site that crawled Reddit for laptop recommendations

jared0x90 — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 19:59:57 +0000

There was a site posted on HN a while back that crawled reddit and ranked laptops in order of how frequently they were discussed/recommended in certain periods of time. I can't for the life of me find it on hackernews again or through google. Does anyone have the link to that? I feel like I'm missing some obvious search term.

New comment by jared0x90 in "UPX – Ultimate Packer for Executables"

Funny to see this here, it's been ages since I've seen UPX mentioned. In the early 2000's I had written some software whose executable was around a megabytes or maybe several megabytes in size coming out of VB6. On one of mid 90's test laptops we used at the time to ensure it would run on even the crummiest of machines it launched NOTICEABLY faster when packed with UPX. The hard disk in that machine was so incredibly slow loading less off the disk and decompressing the executable in RAM was easily an order of magnitude faster.

Level 26... Did a base 64 decode.. The output looked base64 legal. Decoded that, looked legal again, decoded that... Canabarro Sandow?

There are tables in the kernel git repo if you want a good reference for their values; however, the register definitions aren't provided.
