外向的人都到哪里去了?

我自己是一个非常内向的人。我一直有一个梦想,就是在森林里建一座小木屋,然后秋天,冬天,春天三季在小木屋里读书,劈柴,修身养性,夏天出来行走天下,体验世情。可惜我蹉跎半生也没有自己的小木屋,一年四季都在社会上体验世情,梦想还停留在梦想阶段。| 一言堂

The pharaonic custom of having princesses marry their brothers and rule as sister-queens had a well-thought political rationale behind. These marriages were rarely consummated and any offspring produced normally were unfit for power, so most pharaohs were sons by their predecessor's non-related wives or concubines. However, brotherly marriages meant that Egypt’s royal princesses typically didn’t marry outside of the family. As it's very evident from the comparison between Egypt's relative...| Substack

Why bother with argv[0]?

The first argument of a program’s command line, typically reflecting the program’s name/path and often referred to as argv[0], can in most cases be set to an arbitrary value without affecting the process’ flow. Making the case against argv[0], this post demonstrates how it can be used to deceive security analysts, bypass detections and break defensive software, across all main operating systems.| www.wietzebeukema.nl
