That is a fantastic historical parallel. The early amd64 days were arguably Gentoo's killer app moment. While the binary distributions were wrestling with the logistical nightmare of splitting repositories and figuring out the /li

For me, the most underrated takeaway here is the state of RISC-V support. While other distributions are struggling to bootstrap their package repositories for new ISAs and waiting for build farms to catch up, Gentoo's source based natu

The reason performance-noexcept-move-constructor is not enabled by default is likely because blindly applying noexcept is dangerous if the underlying logic isn't actually exception-free. If you let clang-tidy slap noexcept on a move co

Regarding mistake 1: return std::move(local_var), it is worth clarifying why this is technically a pessimization beyond just breaking NRVO. It comes down to the change in C++17 regarding prvalues. > Pre-C++17, a prvalue was a temporary o

That would be the absolute dream engineering brief. If I actually sit down and design that vehicle, it would have something like this. List, off the top of my head. 1. You keep the modern metallurgy and the crumple zones. You keep ABS and b

With all due respect, you are confusing a software race condition with a hard fault in a safety critical system. Resetting the ECU only works if the error is a transient glitch in the code logic. If the failure is a physical sensor reading

The C15 represents a time when a vehicle was a tool. I feel vehicles want to turn into a subscription service these days. I still see these running in rural Spain and France, usually held together with wire and hope, clocking like what 400k

So, if you cannot cryptographically prove to a remote server that your device is running essentially unmodified, vendor-signed software, you are locked out of the economy? The irrefutable part here is that the security model works. Locking

I couldn't help but focus on the vicarious adventure aspect Kelly mentions which was the "payment" he offered drivers in exchange for the ride. This is a mechanism that has largely been deprecated by the modern attention econ

Yeah, that was a bit harsh on my part. I removed that bit, apologies. Had no intention of coming across as crude.

Hmm good point. The issue is also the distinction between widevine L1, i.e hardware-backed DRM and L3 (the software backed one). Correct me if I'm wrong but to stream 4K, studios require a hardware root of trust and a verified media pa

This is a healthy thing to happen to the Linux browser ecosystem imho. We talk a lot about browser diversity, but on Linux and Windows, it is a lie. You have firefox (gecko) and fifty flavors of chromium. Webkit on Linux has essentially bee

The hardware on the soundtouch 10/20/30 series was always surprisingly over engineered with heavy magnets, decent power supplies, and good enclosures but let down by a sluggish app and flaky mDNS implementation. With this, they ju

You're spot on regarding the mechanics. It's important to reinforce that in BGP, AS-PATH length is a cost metric and not a steering wheel.

I'm half sleepy but I liked the post. The analysis regarding path prepending really drives the accident theory home. If a state actor were trying to intercept traffic (MITM), the last thing they would do is pad the AS path multiple t

Before the "rewrite it in Rust" comments take over the thread: It is worth noting that the class of bugs described here (logic errors in highly concurrent state machines, incorrect hardware assumptions) wouldn't necessarily b

Nice! The author touches on the area properties and here's the most practical life hack derived from the standard I personally use. It uses the relationship between size and mass. Because A0 is defined as having an area of exactly 1 sq

A significant portion of larger sizes is likely due to how Google handles shared code across its iOS suite. They rely heavily on a shared C++ backend (using tools like J2ObjC or similar internal transpilers) to keep logic consistent between

This is what I've been looking for. I love Tailscale, but as our tailnet has grown from "just me and a few servers" to "entire engineering team + prod/staging/dev environments," the ACL file has become ter

I've been following C3 for sometime now, and I really appreciate the discipline in the design philosophy here. Neither does it force a new memory model on you, nor does it try to be C++. The killer feature for me is the full ABI compat

This feels like the peak of resume driven development. The maker of this has taken a deterministic problem (substring matching transaction descriptions) that could be solved with a 50-line Python script or a standard .rules file and injecte
