Tired of using outdated languages for #Ghidra scripting or a REPL that you can't even properly paste into? @tmr232 and I wrote a plugin to embed a #Jupyter #Kotlin kernel for a full Notebook environment alongside your GUI.

@FrameworkPuter pretends their business model is about "repairability" and "sustainability", but really, how much of their money comes from removing the barriers that prevent people like me from impulsively upgrading their RAM just because they _almost_ ran out of RAM _once_

@ZachariahSchwab @dwarkesh_sp I'm also thinking of cases where one field has tools for solving an applied mathematical or engineering problem already, and another field has a similar enough problem that the solutions would also apply to. But the fields have no overlapping practitioners that notice it

@eigenrobot @AltKurtis At school I thought it was funny that the shape of the demographic diagram of aging societies was called an "urn" (the kind for ashes) in Germany, because the societal implications sounded grim and that name sounded too on the nose. So, uh, exciting times ahead

Another year, another decision between @WEareTROOPERS and @recon

@Matthewmatical @Anthony_Bonato This has actually existed for years! I have atrocious handwriting and even 6 years ago this already translated it pretty accurately. Needed some minor fixes afterwards, but those were easy to fix and they probably got better

@AngDeLuca I once found profanity in the class names of closed source software. Software that was scheduled to become mandatory to use for lawyers

@seanhn I'm just glad they are at least trying _something_ at this point 😬

In hindsight "Heuristics and approximations" sounds really boring, but "approximations" in this case means the program analysis kind e.g. "sound approximations for recovering control flow graphs in compiled but dynamically typed language (Objective-C)"

Now that the Chinese actually have LLMs this joke gets even funnier

@subreption @i0n1c One thing that confuses me is that I also always disliked the IDA UI and UX. When switching to Ghidra it was just a different (though new) kind of questionable UX. IMO it's bad, but not _worse_ than IDA. I don't get why people think Ghidra is worse. Binja looks sleeker though

@jonpalmisc I recently looked into the analysis time and found a major performance bug in the decompiler. A few Ghidra analyses rely on the decompiler, and some functions have an outsized effect on that. I don't know how much this accounts for overall, but that looked very fixable

@i0n1c They added new Swing "Look and Feels" with the update that introduced dark mode. (11.2 maybe?) Looks a lot more modern. More like e.g. IntelliJ IDEA, though not perfect. It's hidden in the settings and not enabled by default though

@i0n1c The basic Mach-O loader seemed pretty solid in Ghidra? I only deal with Mach-O files from apps, maybe the system ones have significantly more complex extra features? I wrote the chained fixups loader for angr, and while annoying it wasn't that complicated

@i0n1c The official support for Ghidra is okay, but currently there is a community effort cohering for a dedicated plugin. We have one person already looking into better shared cache support. But it's under heavy development so we don't really do stable releases yet Or documentation😬
