Woah I hadn't. Looks super useful, thanks!

Yeah the cross-compilation thing is definitely a rough spot. I have one project that's able to work around it via extensive hacks with macros, but at some point I'll need to do it "the right way." Honestly if the docs

Is it proprietary? According to their blog, Pyston was open sourced with version 2.2 [0], and the LICENSE file in the repo [1] appears to be the same as upstream CPython. Not a rhetorical question BTW. A pluggable JIT for Python could be a

Median household income in NYC for 2020 was $67k [0]. $100k (especially for a single earner, as is often the case in tech) is considered quite high, but not outrageously so if that makes sense? That's "1BR apartment in a nice but

What do you think would happen to an LGBT person in, say, Saudi Arabia? The answer is, "capital punishment, fines, public whipping, beatings, vigilante attacks, vigilante executions, torture, chemical castrations, imprisonment up to li

Microsoft Teams is distributed through the Play Store. If iOS provided a similar API with a similar bug, the same thing could happen there. So clearly, blocking side-loading would have had no impact on this particular issue. If you're

The "marketing fluff" is here [0]. From my understanding, the relatively novel things they're doing at the lowest levels are making it a microkernel, and using a capability-based security model [1]. The former decreases the R

For what it's worth, it appears a C++ version [0] of that binary search algorithm with Clang 13 requires 9.45 cycles [1]. The clang++-generated ASM is quite similar to the rustc-generated ASM in the article. Not sure what accounts for

Funnily enough, I tried the same thing a while back [0], and got basically the same minimum size (112 bytes in my case). Though it's not nearly as impressive as the article, since all mine did was _exit(42). I suppose I have no choice

Exactly that: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/sandboxing.html There's also (I believe experimental) support for using Docker as a sandbox backend. That ends up being useful if you're using the r

This whole case in general is absolutely crazy. Literally decades of people telling various authorities about Raniere, and nothing. Even the Dalai Lama got duped into supporting Nxivm! If anyone is interested in this, HBO has a docuseries

Play Music recently got merged into Youtube Music (formerly Youtube Red). They kept all the features of Play, like uploading your own library, so honestly the least bad Google product death I've seen so far.

IIRC one of Monero's design goals is that it isn't easily GPU/ASIC-mineable, so CPU mining is competitive. It's also designed to be difficult to trace. Both of these properties make it a relatively safe and profitable av

We've been using Google Meet at my work for daily "standups." Typically 4-6 people, lasting 15-30 mins. Been very smooth sailing, even using Firefox. Out of curiosity, what kind of issues were you running into?

AFAICT, minikube requires a full VM, whereas this doesn't seem to. So it should, in theory, be much more lightweight.

I've always wanted to do exactly what you just described! Can you recommend any resources to get started with FPGA design for a software dev?

A straight hashing algorithm isn't what you want for storing passwords. At a minimum, you want it salted. It's also advisable to include an iteration count so that (a) brute-forcing is harder, and (b) you can tweak just one parame

This looks incredible. Gives me vibes of old school Runescape, mixed with Minecraft. Plus the performance as you've detailed it sounds like quite a feat! Also very cool to see a project that supports old hardware--I remember being a ki

If you've walked into a bank, hospital, or anywhere using a PoS system, you've interacted with legacy software--in some cases, literally jury-rigged DOS software. Outside of trendy dev circles, legacy software is the name of the g

Unsure if you've seen it before, but I've been using sway [0] as a Wayland-based replacement for i3. Switching the configs took about 15 minutes (and could probably be replaced by a few sed commands). It's been very nice to u

This isn't entirely accurate. The hack that they used (writing creds directly into the TCC db instead of using the official dialog) was closed by Apple in High Sierra I believe (might've been Mojave? I can't remember atm). Re
