I have used GDB to look at a process and get a dump of particular run-time data structures, which is usually enough to reconstruct a config file.

Config data structures usually don't change while a process is running. Often they are just values in global variables.

If you have the executable file for the process, it may be possible to run that with trial config files, and then compare the GDB dump from the running service with the GDB dump from a trial config, to compare the relevant data structures. That can provide more confidence than just figuring out what the config ought to be.

Getting a GDB dump of the running service will be quite disruptive if it's done manually, but that might not matter. It will depend on whether the service is heavily used or if it's only doing something occasionally.

If the service is in constant use, it could make sense to automate GDB so it captures the config data structures quickly then safely detaches, and only briefly pauses the service.

Alternatively, if even automated GDB is too disruptive or difficult to use, or if the ptrace() syscalls used by GDB might cause a problem, it is often possible to capture a memory dump of the running process without affecting the process much, via /proc/PID/mem on Linux.

If necessary, write a tool in C to walk the heap by reading it from /proc/PID/mem to reconstruct the config data structures that way.

(All the above assumes Linux.)
what major frustrations do you face in WPF? thanks in advance.
I sure am! Introversion doesn't mean you don't like interacting with other people, rather it's that such interaction is draining, and you need to be alone to "recharge" (whereas extroverts "recharge" by talking to others). Even the exhaustion of interacting with people is more of a scale than a binary thing -- I personally find one-on-one interactions much easier than groups.

>As someone who believes in climate change, and grew up playing in the snow - what on earth are you talking about? Where is this magical place where it used to be snowy all winter long and is now averaging 50-60 degrees with snow now being a rare occasion?

New England.

Snow that fell in mid-November and later used to stick around until spring and we'd almost NEVER (like maybe one day every 3+ yr) have a 50-60deg day in January/February. Now you rarely have snow that sticks around more than a couple weeks and having the occasional 50+deg day in January/February is not uncommon. Winters have definitely become more mild in the past 20ish years.
Agreed on this, try it with a few kids on a busy weekend and its really both expensive and miserable.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Our goals are to build a great product and make a living. The more companies we can reach / revenue we can generate, the better. In that sense, we would be open to going down the VC route, we just don't know how to get to the point that a VC would be interested in investing (how to get the traction necessary at our stage).

> Depending on your goals, there could be a number of paths open to you that don't involve outside funding.

Could you elaborate on this? Thank you!
I think you're thinking of the classic shifting baseline example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shifting_baseline It comes up a lot when talking about fisheries stocks, and how each generation basically resets to what is a normal amount of fish.
I once worked with a client in such a situation. They were in the process of building a huge oil rig, costing somewhere north of $5.5bn USD. The basic premise was that a previous vendor had configured a big documentation system running on a soon-to-be-outdated Windows Server version ages ago, along with a "kind of" API allowing the shipyard to send information in the form of equipment/construction metadata, documents of various kinds and similar stuff.

The main challenge was that nothing could not be resent if a transmission failed, unless there was an actual change on the shipyard side, or by an highly complex and manual method. There was no source code to anything, and while the enterpricy system was a fairly standard off-the-shelf type thing, the API was completely customized. Nobody knew anything about how it talked to the system, dependencies or anything else. Changing anything was out of the question, as everything had been defined in contracts and processes making waterfall seem agile.

The team I was in was basically there to set up a new application in a separate environment, so that we could migrate and replace the existing setup once the shipyard had handed over all the information. In the end everything was kind of anti-climactic, with everything working as expected for as long as it needed to.

> Oh and they need to walk back this stupid shit

And the reason this stupid shit of preventing domain fronting was put in place is the exact reason why eSNI doesn't work, i.e. because it prevents state censorship and forces the state to instead block all the IP addresses in turn forcing companies to either cooperate with the state or expose enough identifying info to not interfere with state censorship.

Hmm. I've only really played around with both (OpenGL 4.x and Vulkan), but while Vulkan had an insane amount of boilerplate initially, it was really intuitive to me. The situation of "what do I even have to google here?" never came up, while that happened a lot with OpenGL. If you already have a working code base obviously that doesn't really matter, but if I was writing a new engine today, I'd probably use Vulkan just because the API seems so much more intuitive to me. (Well, Vulkan or D3D11.)

This is only partially correct. What we have today is social just Capitalism. If one person is offended. a social media campaign is started against the company and shareholders get scared and the stock price drops temporarily.

The great part is if you have some money, you invest when this happens (because it's artificial..the value of the company hasn't really gone down because of accusations)..and you make money when the stock price goes up in a few weeks when it blows over or everyone moves onto the next outrage of the week.

As a person who uses the Hangouts chrome app daily, I have been expecting a day when I go to launch it and it wont open for the last 3 years. Google doesn't want to support "Classic Hangouts" anymore (and supposedly they killed it in October for GSuite, but not for my domain, I guess). Hangouts is one of the only ways I privately communicate with old friends and past co-workers since EVERYONE has at least one gmail account.

And trying to get 20 people to switch to something else is a complete non-starter.
> You are allowed to dereference a null pointer

Can you cite me something for that? The very first mention of dereferencing in the C++03 standard - ISO/IEC 14882:2003 1.9 Program exection ¶ 4 (page 5) - would seem to disagree:

> Certain other operations are described in this International Standard as undefined (for example, the effect of dereferencing the null pointer). [Note: this International Standard imposes no requirements on the behavior of programs that contain undefined behavior. ]

EDIT: As does 8.3.2 References ¶ 4 (page 136):

> [...] [Note: in particular, a null reference cannot exist in a well-defined program, because the only
way to create such a reference would be to bind it to the “object” obtained by dereferencing a null pointer,
which causes undefined behavior. As described in 9.6, a reference cannot be bound directly to a bit-field. ]

This is awesome, but I'm going to forget it exists, so: please take my email address and feed me notifications about when new games get added. (I might want to be notified immediately, weekly, or every N months.)

Besides that, some minor nitpicks:

- Infinite scrolling would be very nice to have

- The ability to sort the columns by clicking the headers (eg, reviews) might be useful

- I have some, uh, really old devices here that I continue to use. One is on Android 5. There are probably only like 4 people out there that will appreciate seeing a game's minimum Android version, but they'll really appreciate it

- I kind of think surfacing screenshots or description info might be interesting, but that's probably because I'm on 256k slowed internet right now and am loathe to click links (lol) but want to compare/get more info about each game

Also: something interesting is going on with the rating filtering. If I type in "4.8" and select Free under Android, I see 3 items; trying "4.7" gets me a total of 6 4.8-rated items.

Thank you, we also thought of accelerators as a plausible option. Part of the reason I asked the question though, is that I am curious how others are able to get from just an idea to VC funding. It sounds simple: build a great product, and get enough traction. But actually doing it, even if we believe in the product, seems to take a lot of time. Are we missing anything that other founders do? Or are the suggestions you posted what everyone else does?
Of course conflict has many causes, the corruption and long standing sectarian rifts are clearly foremost on the list but there’s a plausible case that a portion of the blame for the war is due to climate related impacts:

No, ending the extraction and burning of fossil fuels is how we fix climate change. Anything else is just buying time.

I've found that people lookup sites use that sunk time technique. Try going on one that's a little more shady like been verified. Once you put in a name and place, it "scans" through their databases, and it "scans" through social media, it also "scans" through criminal history, etc. It takes 10 minutes easily (I left it running out of curiosity). Then it tells you, voila! We have that info! But it'll be $19.99 to access it. You've already sat through so much, might as well go all in.

Meanwhile, if you use the opt-out link, it instantly shows at least the name, location, age, etc.

Stop coding and start selling. If you have something that is up and running, you need to get it in the hands of paying customers. Until you have actual paying customers using your system, you will be guessing about what features to build.

Push the people you have signed agreements with to start using the system. Maybe they don't need the features they asked for. Push them to pay you.

Do not pursue an investor until you have actual clients or money coming in. This is the first thing they will ask about and you will close doors if you approach them too early.

Excluding jobs in High School and College...

Job 1. Not happy with the work I was doing, management was pushing me to learn ASP.Net and Windows stack, wanted to continue using Linux and open source languages.

Job 2. After 5 years I felt like I was stagnating and not learning enough. We started getting projects where I was again spending lots of time in the Windows stack again.

Job 3. Job was "Remote" and an awesome learning experience but I wanted to work "global remote".

Job 4. Currently where I'm at and enjoy the freedom but I do much less development than I used to and that is starting to eat at me I think (We'll see!).

Maybe I've been lucky but I've never switched jobs for pay.

It sounds like the author is talking about interfaces being impediments to composition.

The point of an interface is to permit changing an implementation without changing every implementation which uses it.

Completely depends on the company.

I'd say 35 - 45 is the period when age starts to become a question. With some young startups on the lower and, and more regular (but relatively young) companies on the upper end.

By the time you're 50, it becomes even more apparent. Hell, by then you're not even safe outside the tech-world - I've worked with good people (in their 50's) who were some of the first to get cut when recession / busts hit, and have struggled to find anything comparable ever since.
I'm obviously using anecdotal evidence, but most of the time I see the issue discussed the people who do believe in climate change don't understand the scale of the thing, don't think the situation is that bad and believe that we will just find a technological way (which, at this point, is more magical than anything) to reduce emissions without impacting our overall comfort and way of life, and without massive climate catastrophes and humanitarian crises

This assumes that even if we stopped all emissions today, things will be fine. Like there's some sort of Pause button. Things won't be fine: if we stopped everything today, we'd reach the +2°C at the end of the century. Things are going to get worse even if we stop emitting.
Gets my vote. I love woodland and can't bear the empty, desolate green spaces that cover most of the UK, and which many British people consider to be 'nature'.

And here's an idea: process the wood into a form that can be used for land reclamation without decomposing, cover said land with topsoil, grow trees on said land. Voila: a buffer against worsening coastal erosion due to sea level rise, that also locks in carbon in terms of the trees used to build the footing, and moreover provides extra land for growing trees and locking in even more carbon.
> It makes very conservative assumptions

Uh huh. Good to know this guy has it all figured out.

Edit: trying to find the most absurd claim in this. I think it has to be the desalinization idea. That we can “just” scale up desalinization at existing marginal costs to 3 TRILLION cubic meters of water. The entire world currently desalinizes less than a billion each year. So that’s at least a 300x increase in water production! And how do we provide the energy to do this? The article hand waves it off as “solar power”. Yeah sure that would be great. Forget the cost of infrastructure or the transportation or the space for the solar power or whatever

Trees are great. By all means, plant trees. But don’t go thinking this poorly reasoned back of the envelope math is going to help.

I was thinking about calling conventions because std::free can use extern "C", but the function pointer declaration in C++ code points to an extern "C++" function, and the standard says these are two distinctive types.

std::function would still work in this case because pointers to C functions have a normal operator().
