The mingw libraries are probably statically linked with the mingw runtimes, whereas the msvc libraries can assume the runtimes are going to be there and dynamically link them. The debug libs are including all the statically linked debug symbols, too, so they’re huge.

In mingw, Qt5Guid.dll (Qt5, Gui, debug) is 288 MiB, which is horrendous. 254 megabytes is EXE resource 19, which contains a pile of symbol names. If I open a msys2 mingw64 terminal and run "strip Qt5Guid.dll", the size drops to 5.77 MiB. Trying to extract the resulting DLL with 7-Zip produces data errors. Is strip broken?

Are MinGW-style debug symbols really *this* inefficient and bloated?

I don't know about DWARF debug symbols specifically, but if you consider that it has to represent the filename and line number of every single instruction, plus the layout and field names of every struct and every stack frame, the names and values of every enum, and probably multiple copies of all of those things once C++ templates get involved... it's pretty reasonable for debug symbols to be a hefty multiple of the size of the executable size.

As of Qt 5.9, the PDBs corresponding to the Windows distros are available as a separate .zip file for download from this archive: https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/

I guess "eat 5 gigabytes of your hard drive for debug DLL symbols" is opt-in for Qt MSVC, and mandatory for Qt MinGW.

Also: software is NOT where you come to talk about politics.

My opinion: I support naming a software release after a political issue (notepad++). I find editing a program to print an unremovable political message after every execution to be a nuisance which I will avoid at any cost (bfg Git repo cleaner, the most recent 4 forks all remove the message, I use a fork now).

Could the "translate this page" extension be implemented as a userscript?

- tampermonkey
- violentmonkey with default injection mode set to auto (otherwise it will fail on many sites... why don't they do that by default? https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/issues/597 )
- I heard there's an extension which uses Firefox's native userscript support, and also supports userstyles. But I'm not using it. Violentmonkey is good enough for userescripts, and Stylus supports toggling scripts without reloading the page (the new extension doesn't).

>Stupid computer bullcrap we put up with

my earbuds have power line hum when plugged into my laptop. When i moved around in my chair, i get static shocks through the headphone cables, causing earbud popping and sometimes ear electric shocks.

I found that unplugging my laptop's hdmi cable and power line could stop the hum.

The hum intensified when i put my foot near my metal table legs. Moving my foot so it basically touched the table leg stopped the hum. Pulling my foot away caused intense crackling and the hum to return.

I think the metal table railing has a nonzero net charge, creating an electric potential which falls off 1/n as my foot moves away from the table. This voltage is conducted/induced/something along the wire, causing it to crackle.

When my foot is like 1 inch from the table, is the humming because of a capacitative antenna? but i'd need a big capacitor to get resonance at 60hz? idk

I ended up plugging 1 end of a spare USB cable into my laptop, and taping the other end to my leg. It seems to couple my body's voltage with the laptop's "ground", and basically eliminate this issue. It's also a terrible hack.

When you touch the table leg, you're grounding yourself.

the table isn't directly grounded. I think my laptop is.

My GUESS is the hum increasing is the charge TRYING to jump the air gap to ground.

I'm not great at electromagnetic radiation, only learned electrostatics and magnetism where current doesn't change. Since power line hum is 60Hz and the wavelength is thousands of miles, I can assume that the voltage of the power lines is constant at each instant in time. Can EM radiation be modeled as an electric voltage/field which varies with time and space, causing current to flow along wires in that field?

To my knowledge, charges don't *try* to jump gaps. Instead charges produce electric fields (which push electrons/protons), and where the field is too strong, it'll push the electrons away from the atoms they're bound to, forming a spark.

Charge is an intrinsic property of matter. Voltage is not. If you move a piece of metal around an electric field, its voltage changes (-integral(field ⋅ ds)), even if no current enters or exits the electricity. Also charge rearranges itself within the metal to ensure the entire metal is at a uniform voltage (which explains why moving my foot away from the table leg, my earbud cable tried to keep itself at a uniform voltage, causing current and sparking). I don't know why moving my foot towards the table leg didn't spark.

Does taping the USB cable to the table leg stop the hum?

I think no.

I'm not experienced in emulation, but what happens if the CPU writes to a register during the middle of the GPU rendering a dot?

Would it be reasonable for the Switch itself to wipe existing data and format the SD card as FAT32 (which Windows supports)? Android wipes any SD cards you mount on /sdcard.

I would serious start questioning the grounding of your power sockets.

Finally got a grounding checker... my outlets are not grounded. I'm in the USA. Is it illegal for someone to rent me a house with ungrounded outlets? What recourse do I have?

> You used to be able to generate NANDs from scratch, using fake data that resembled more of a real Wii rather than Dolphin defaults. It was called "Wiimmfi unbanner", and as the name implies, it was abused by cheaters - this is why the Wiimmfi staff decided on their "only real NAND dumps allowed" policy.

Corrections:

- I wrote it.
- In response to the real NAND policy which had existed since before I wrote it.
- My program ensured all generated NANDs' 64-bit WFC(?) IDs were multiples of a 32-bit-ish prime.
- Wiimmfi instituted a 7(?)-day wait for unrecognized NANDs. I don't know if they ever banned all Wiis which were multiples of that prime.
- EDIT: I don't know if they discovered a different way to identify Dolphin that Wiimmfi Unbanner didn't circumvent.

From what I've heard, wiimmfi is only a client lobby and does not actually host games. I don't even remember if Wiimmfi picks which match you get inserted into. Instead one Wii serves as a game host for other Wiis. I heard Wiimm/etc. was running a bot which joins random games and looks for evidence of cheating players to ban.

I found SpaceSniffer some time after WinDirStat, and like SpaceSniffer's "nested squares" UI quite a lot. http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/

But I'll look into WizTree to see if it's faster. Also its download button looks rather shady:

Coronavirus Found In Men's Semen

The new coronavirus can persist in men's semen even after they have begun to recover, a finding that raises the possibility the virus could be sexually transmitted, Chinese researchers said Thursday. A team at Shangqiu Municipal Hospital tested 38 male patients treated there at the height of the pandemic in China, in January and February. About 16% of them had evidence of the coronavirus in their semen, the team reported in the journal JAMA Network Open. About a quarter of them were in the acute stage of infection and nearly 9% of them were recovering, the team reported. It's not a surprising finding. Many viruses can live in the male reproductive tract. Ebola and Zika virus were both found to spread in semen, sometimes months after a male patient had recovered. It's not yet clear if coronavirus can spread this way. Finding evidence of virus does not necessarily mean it's infectious.


... I don't want to live in this world anymore.

Thaaaaaaaaaaanks, China.


solution? get your balls removed and take estrogen. it's not like i'd do it or anything...

Arch has a wammu AUR package, though it has only 1 vote and some commenters say they're running into build errors. Shame Arch is such a pain upfront to install "properly" (to find a workable local optimum out of the many choices for bootloaders, desktop environments, NTP daemons, networking, etc.).
