I wouldn't consider it a second line of defense - as a rule of thumb, it will only catch old and overused attack vectors, and rarely well. Anything novel will fly right past it, and it will have false positives. Plastering ineffective

The title is somewhat misleading, as it suggests an io_uring issue when there is none - it's just that anti-virus solutions like Microsoft Defender try to monitor syscalls but don't monitor io_uring. They're far from guarante

A big feature like this will be at most 20-30% done when you open a PR, because the rest of the work is in collaboration to suit upstream which will as always require notable changes and rewrites. Spending manweeks to manmonths on new upstr

No you can't. Upstreaming a large feature like this requires at the very least allocating a number of manweeks to the upstreaming process, and that's without accounting for actually writing the feature in the first place. Making a

Official upstreaming efforts are a significant investment even if they have internal PoCs. You can't just "release what you've got".

This is default on iOS and on many Android versions. It's often configurable, but e.g. carrier policy or local vendors can enforce it. To have updates automatically install overnight is the maximally desirable scenario - waiting for us

Yes that's the intended behavior of HLS - the content provider advertises which streams are available and at what bitrates, and the client picks which to use based on the current stream performance and its own capability. The server ca

This is not a "punishment", and what clients to differs greatly. The original spec for the original client allocated a portion of its bandwidth to random peers instead of known-good/preferred peers, so if you had no chunks yo

With streaming, the service provider is generally also controlling the clients, so they should be much better off when it comes to client behavior. In case of bring-your-own-client, the incentives are exactly the same: Clients would likely

The I2C peripheral is DMA - a write just queues an operation descriptor in a hardware FIFO, and interrupts fire whenever something exciting happens or the FIFO is drained. The synchronous implementation is just blocking on a condition set b

Go for the SPI version, which is the same chip but just s different breakout board. Many ESP32's can only do 400kHz I2C, whereas their SPI peripheral can often do 80 MHz or more (although you wouldn't want to go that fast here).

You are comparing the max loaded weight of the polo with the unloaded weight of a dolphin. VW Polo Mk6 is 1751mm wide, 1461mm tall, 4067mm long and has an unloaded curb weight of 1105 kg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

In the EU an average car is 1400 kg (3000 lbs), with most vehicles probably in the 1000-1200 kg range. We don't really want the average here, but the median - and we don't want to compare to the average EV, but to the equivalent E

We're talking about brakes, not engines. But I know at least one EV maker that has a manually selected mode that guides you through driving with the brakes engaged for surface treatment, as rust buildup will be the main issue.
