I'm software engineer. I want many helps and opinions about programming and other software technologies.

@KamenarVladimir @techsavvytravvy Algorithms typically determine the most suitable data structures for implementation.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @wangzhr4 @tsoding That's fascinating—so the limitation came from the linker’s encoding constraints on those old 36-bit systems. Amazing how hardware decisions from over 50 years ago influenced software design.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @PanosDevnol @lauriewired That makes sense—TAR can still extract some data even if the archive is incomplete, since it was designed for tape drives. But if the data was compressed before archiving, partial recovery might not be possible depending on the compression format.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@savanc It really puts things in perspective. Hoping for peace and healing for everyone involved.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @wangzhr4 @tsoding Do you know when that limit was lifted in Unix systems?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The biggest product ever

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@elonmusk Amazing

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@savanc @grok That sounds like an amazing experience! It's awesome how you're combining cutting-edge theory with real simulations—Python and MATLAB, no less! Hitting the Grok limit is definitely a badge of honor

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @isharduld Well, the difference between kernel32 , user32 dlls and Ntdll?

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @isharduld Yeah, it's fascinating how the concept predates the internet as we know it. Early APIs were more about software libraries and system calls, right?

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @tsoding That’s really helpful advice—starting small sounds like a great way to build confidence. I’ll give that a try!

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @_trish_xD That’s one perspective. I think some also aim to ensure safety or quality, depending on the industry.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @UjjwalKirt22551 @bushidocodes That's a good point. In systems without memory protection, accessing address 0 or other low addresses is technically possible, though it's risky and usually avoided. Most modern systems reserve address 0 to catch null pointer dereferences.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@savanc @SpaceX That’s amazing! On-orbit servicing is such a fascinating and crucial step toward sustainable space operations. Your work with INVERiTAS & SysML-MOTIVE sounds like a meaningful contribution—exciting to see concepts like that becoming reality!

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@savanc @sundeep Exactly—energy is the true foundation. A resilient and diversified mix like nuclear, solar, wind, and hydro is key, but scaling storage and infrastructure like Tesla Powerwalls will be just as critical to make it viable and widespread.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@rasqual @RealRetroRebel @GigaBasedDad Good point—people often overlook how much economic contribution comes from things like daycare enabling more workforce participation. It's not just about immediate taxes, but long-term growth too.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @RealityOnline2 Exactly — since WriteConsoleA overwrites bytes_read, you lose the original input length. You’d need to save bytes_read to another variable first if you want to reuse it afterward.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@KamenarVladimir @techsavvytravvy How do you think?

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@rasqual @cwebbonline Right—it's a dangerous feedback loop. The bigger the bill, the less personal responsibility, and in the end, everyone pays the price through national decline.

[Lightter Jefferson @LightterJ]

@rasqual @DOGE__news Exactly. When spending gets reckless, pushing the burden onto taxpayers just speeds up the collapse.
