Linux: pthread_setname_np(thread_id, name)

FreeBSD: pthread_set_name_np(thread_id, name)

Windows:

when you have a language from the 60s.

type NullBool struct {        Bool  bool        Valid bool // Valid is true if Bool is not NULL }

Who would’ve known that cleaning this thing would be such a pain in the ass?

In addition to that, there is no way to merge multiple shared libraries into a single one.

I used to have a quite busy account on GMail, but for the past few years I’ve been using it mostly for receive-and-never-reply stuff. The problem is.. well, this

Of course someone has my password! That someone is me! Every time I travel to a new place (or an old one that isn’t within 1000km of my home), I get this shit in my gmail inbox and a denied access to my account unless I’m willing to provide a phone number. Just any phone number will do, actually. We tried using a number in Afghanistan, and it worked and I was able to access my account after that despite the fact that I have never been to Afghanistan nor I have ever used Google services from an afghani IP address.

Google, I perfectly understand that the majority of your users have an IQ of a toaster and cannot be trusted with their passwords. But that doesn’t mean the rest of us must suffer from this bullshit. And no, providing a phone number will not make your services more secure.

emiserson: _d0t, it's not public, for obvious reasons

_d0t: emiserson, but why not?

_d0t: ok, just tell me how many there are.

emiserson: because a) it changes a lot, and b) that would tell people how to get around the words

emiserson: why?

_d0t: for obvious reasons

emiserson: sorry

_d0t: :(

_d0t: i have found 7 so far
