In my limited experience, it makes the hard cases harder. I had a project where I needed to do some weird linker things and ended up moving to C++ because Cargo couldn't handle it.

They've changed the plans a bit, you can get 8GB even cheaper I think. I pay $30 a month after the autopay discount. Though mine is only 5GB

What secret state do you mean? All PRNGs have state right? Which you need to keep secret if you don't want the sequence to be predictable. Is there something more I'm missing?

Interesting, but there's one part I'm not sure I agree with. > Pseudo-random number generators are useful for many purposes, but unbiased shuffling isn't one of them. A properly seeded CSPRNG is perfectly fine at this. And

Oh, for sure what I said wouldn't work on a W^X system. I was just pointing out that one of the most widely used JIT software uses WX pages. What OSes prohibit that? Linux doesn't (well, I think it can with SeLinux maybe?). OpenBS

Found a similar big once. The API would correctly reject unauthenticated requests for exactly 10 minutes. Then, for exactly 1 minute, unauthenticated requests were allowed. The cycle repeated indefinitely. Would love to know what was going

I remember GTK themes used to break every couple releases. Is that not an API break?
69.
by IAmLiterallyAB 2y ago
Or you do what V8 does with WebAssembly and just use WX pages because doing it correctly is "too hard" to do without losing performance.

Just want to say, your blog has been a godsend for understanding the weird quirks of linking and ABI stuff. Thank you.

The docker daemon is running as root in that scenario. So anyone in the Docker group can trivially become root by starting a privileged container.

The hope is to eventually remove the in-kernel terminal emulator. See here https://dvdhrm.wordpress.com/2012/08/12/killing-off-config_v...

AntennaPod is my favorite podcast app. I use it for all my podcasts that have RSS feeds. Highly recommend

Ah, I guess I was mistaken
75.
by IAmLiterallyAB 2y ago
Somewhat misleading. Because these days, none of the network transparent primitives are used anymore. All the rendering happens server side, and bitmaps are sent over the wire. It's basically a crappy VNC. And at that point, just use R

NXP still sells those? Wow, e500 will never die huh

Clang 18 came out in March and GCC 14 isn't even out. So those are bleeding edge by just about any metric

> full constraint specifications Is that a technical term? (if so, can you explain further) I've made SLEIGH specs for two architectures. In my experience, it can describe 95% of the semantics well enough for decompilation (it gets

SAIL reminds me of SLEIGH, the language Ghidra uses to describe ISA semantics. Cool stuff

Mandatory CSD was always a bad idea imo and this is yet another reason

Oh neat, had this guy as a professor for "Linux Kernel Programming". Good to see he's still doing cool stuff

That commit has nothing at all to do with task cancellation.
84.
by IAmLiterallyAB 3y ago
Ugh. We're forever pinned on 3.8.1 since they broke task cancellation in 3.8.3. The handling of that is frustrating, we won't be using aio http for new projects. https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/issues

Am I wrong? Just noticed the downvote. That is my understanding of the old AIO kernel API anyway. The original io_uring paper describes some of the deficiencies of AIO. And the fact that the API is broken on non-O_DIRECT regular file descri

by IAmLiterallyAB 3y ago
The old aio API is very inefficient and has awful quirks, such as not working on regular files opened without O_DIRECT. Not surprised no one used it

Even those get most of their info from /proc and /sys rather than special syscalls

I'm having trouble distinguishing the differences between the bright end of the gradient. Maybe it should use a different color space. This site explains it well: https://joshdata.github.io/color-scales/ "Unf
