Not exactly, before now they added a feature to boot any arbitrary OS. Yes, it had to be a Mach-O, but they didn't need to add this AFAIU… See the kmutil doc: https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/13331260180689

I can't wait for a Microsoft team to take the best ideas of Zed (Atom), its GPUI framework (Electron), and beat them on their own field, by adding a twist (LSP) and having better performance(VSCode). Note: this is a joke, I wish all th

Anyone has a pointer to what "Blocked on PSCI discussion" means ? I'd be interested to read those (mailing list?) discussions.

That's either that, or pay the most expensive support contract from your OS vendor. You can also ignore it, but you'll end up running into a wall at some point… hopefully after you left the company ?

Google used it to detect the SEO spammers, improve the algorithm for a while, and now it seems that spammers have found a way around that again because in the mean time maintaining it wasn't worth it inside Google.

For a moment, I thought it was yet another research from the people at Positive Technologies (ptsecurity.com), the company that had sanctions from USG. I'm not sure if intentional but you must have gotten that a few times over the last

It is very interesting if you have properly verified invariants and you can guarantee (with manual checking) that your code is correct. It's an order of magnitude harder than just letting the borrow checker do its job, but it's en
