You've got it backwards. The final problem with HTTP/2 couldn't be solved by the application layer protocol alone, so "intermingling" is a "not-even-wrong" complaint -- if you transported a large JPEG and

It's actually a perfect example of how people don't understand others' development practices and don't understand the history their own field came from. This single commit is exactly how the original patch was authored,

The paper partially addresses this but Athena is a streaming engine, so it doesn't work in the same way as you might expect. The query planner has to take this into account. So a normal planner might see the CTE and then "material

HTTPS also guarantees integrity of the content; even for read-only sites it's important to ensure content isn't modified, code isn't injected, etc. There's an argument that a protocol which does integrity-checks only (wi

A retail Bluefield-2 you can get for anywhere from $1.5k-to-$2k USD from a variety of online sellers; just look it up, there are a couple SKUs. You can pick up a second-hand off eBay for about $1k USD right now. It's pretty pricey no m

But it's significantly easier, like way way easier, to phish someone versus compromise a filesystem and extract SSH keys. And you can just add keys afterwords if you phish them, so why wouldn't you go the easy route? That's w

Nobody cares and you aren't that important, so next time read the article instead and get over yourself.

Operations/watt, which is a function of power efficiency (i.e. how many floating point tera-ops can you do in 1 second), is the primary driving performance criteria and engineering metric for all modern desktop, server, and mobile plat

The intent of these IDs is to be used e.g. as primary keys in a database, and the timestamp improves sortability, helping the database engine pack tuples that are related "in time" into the same pages, which decreases the need for

The post-Ice Lake models of the XPS series all support 32GB of RAM on the Developer Editions; I have one. Until that point this was Intel's fault because before then they were behind on their memory controllers, nothing Dell could do a

Interesting, thanks for both the corrections. Curious, but do you know if there anyone still using Mali outside the ARM-licensed family at this point? I guess there haven't been many new entries to the mobile market for so long the GPU

The GPU is not the issue. There are open source OpenGL ES drivers available in upstream Mesa right now, that work with upstream kernel DRM driver, and for RPi4 users there's even a Vulkan driver. It's been pointed out elsewhere bu

The original complaint was "demanding and petty users flood you and take up your time, through the same channels your good users do", and your solution seems to be "just go ahead and let them take up your time"? What, is

Sure but if you're working on a custom softcore processor, there's a lot to do, and a lot to learn, and it's very easy to stall out on boring parts, because in a production setting there is a lot of boring stuff. A C compil

There isn't really any value in doing that kind of stuff honestly unless you just like really boring and annoying work. Like, if you are designing your own ISA, you can punt that down to basically the end of the line, because all the a

Avantek was, until recently, one of the few "price on the public box" options I was aware of in both server and desktop form factors. In desktop form factor there was another recent addition, the AVA Developer Platform, with a ran

I mean that, instead of exposing atomic operations in the programming model (which are imperative constructs from the CPU to write to a memory location and require a notion of a memory model), the BPF virtual ISA could have just given you a

Build time. If you only need one or two components (clang, clang-tools-extra) and trim down the number of target architectures, it's not so bad. But if you want most of the components and architectures enabled, and tested with a Releas

This is really cool. I wonder about whether or not putting the ISA itself directly in hardware is the right path forward, versus "virtualizing" it and compiling the bytecode again down to (yet another) architecture. It's a mu

Almost every CFI implementation I've seen is definitely intended for production use cases. There is work to combine the coarse-grained CFI aspects of Intel's IBT implementation with the more fine-grained CFI implementation availab

There's another preceding case here, from 2020, involving Qualcomm submitting a similar driver (and to some extent Microsoft), which is quietly linked to and worth looking at for some other history: https://lwn.net/Arti

Correct. Thought QNet itself is only one possible implementation, in a sense (but obviously the one shipped with QNX.) And the more important part of the whole thing is the message-passing API design built into the system, which enables sai

A good paper giving a concrete example of all this is "A fork() in the road", where you can see how an API just like fork(2) has an absolutely massive amount of ramifications on the overall design of the system, to the point &quot

All of this was possible with QNX literally decades ago, and it didn't need whatever strawman argument you're making up in your head in order to accomplish it. QNX was small, fast, lean, real-time, distributed, and very powerful f
