Reimplement decompiler integration by k4lizen · Pull Request #3401 · pwndbg/pwndbg Okay this is a chonker. See the docs/tutorials/decompiler-integration.md for some overview. And docs/assets/caps/decomp_integration_ex.png for an image example vs previous implementation pros we d...

Happy New Year's Eve! Our tool for placing decompilation (symbols, source, types) into the debugger (gdb) is now officially integrated into pwndbg! You will have access to it (decomp2dbg) in your next default install of pwndbg 🎉

Happy hacking:

Well, my year started about a year ago.

Happy New Year’s Eve!

This video is a pedagogical masterpiece. I am speechless. I can’t even begin to imagine the effort and love that went into this.

Just saw #TheLongWalk. Intense and gripping. Would recommend

Fair warning though, it is _violent_

Today’s case: minimising a failure case for rustdoc so I can submit a nicer bug report. It’s already cut through 90+% of this crate already.

Especially with inline-crate (github.com/jaybosamiya/...), I don’t even need to cut down to a single file by myself, I can just let it handle it all

I am once again extolling the virtues of creduce. It has saved me so much debugging time in so many scenarios. Doesn’t even matter if what I’m reducing is not C, it just munches through it and simplifies inputs like crazy

Ooh this is a neat idea!

Neat! Just this past week I was running nextest in a while-true zsh loop to try to trigger a subtle rare race condition in my research prototype. This should help greatly, ty!

Still super proud of this video I made 2 years ago. Views have kinda flat-lined so I'm posting it again because dammit I want people to see it!

(The video title is probably not helping its popularity but I don't know what else to call it)

Good video, well paced and explained in a very understandable way

There’s also the pragmatic solution of “make the spatter a child of the goblin / sibling of the goblin sprite” but yeah the Math behind the transformations was explained beautifully

> I really hate that this all makes sense. I hoped that when I started to look into this that it'd be something so obviously wrong. I wasn't able to find that, and that realization disturbs me.

Xe’s post is well worth the read.

15/21. I knew a bunch of these but was still surprised by others. Neat quiz

This is such good product advice and not just for games

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Posting now after having had some rest: this past weekend, we (MMM) won DEFCON CTF once again! Fourth year in a row!! Thanks to Nautilus for running a challenging contest, and to all other teams for keeping us on our toes.

Yup, fun one indeed. Nerdsniped me right as I was about to figure out dinner lol

Optimal under the constraints of being only 3 rational numbers under 1.

I conjecture that the real optimal one is at four gears exactly, but I have no proof of optimality.

2/26 * 7/21 * 12/16 * 13/15 = 1/60

Ah @mlhomsi.bsky.social found this same optimal one under these constraints!

Also one downside to the original 3 rational number solutions is that not all are less than 1. If you want that constraint too, optimal is:

5/30 * 7/28 * 10/25 = 1/60

By using more rational numbers (and allowing repeats) you can push it even lower:

2/10 * 3/9 * 4/8 * 4/8 = 1/60

Given the additional context I suspect you are not looking for repeats though?
