Enough LISP and Assembler can eventually cure the worst BASIC inflicted brain damage, but some scars remain.

Oh yes `HZ=4000`, `net.link.ifqmaxlen=200`, `net.isr.dispatch=…`. I don't miss running out of hardware resources that would be a few 100 (or 1000) gates to get right like a nesting, vectored interrupt controller with enough sources and

The RP2040 can be convinced to bit-bang Ethernet (yes even 100Mb/s) with only a transceiver. Part of the trick is to modify the common PHY + MagJack breakout boards to let the RP2040 generate the clock signal so that the signals are in

If everything is synchronised to third party could storage an "office raid" can be as easy as getting a court order telling the cloud provider to make a snapshot of everything stored available to the police.

Bcrypt is still perfectly usable for its original purpose. They just picked/wrote a bad implementation that silently truncated inputs longer than the maximum input length. Would you also ask why they picked AES (a cipher from 1998) whe

Most CPUs suitable to implement such a protocol can do endian swapping for free e.g. a load+bswap instruction, a microarchitecture that fuses load+bswap. Don't worry about byte swapping fixed sized int across the network. Just keep in

Beware that some of the Geekbench number are the result of them suddenly gaining support for streaming SVE and SME just when Apple implements it. I'm not doubting the number represent real peak throughput on M4. There is just a taste t

Granted, but how about the societal harm from an exploitable bug in one or more of these rootkits? Millions of gaming computers could wreck some havoc in the hands of an even slightly creative attacker not restrained by moral or economic co

That the author of the post wants such parts to be available and affordable as hardware you can put under your desk instead of something you only get to rent at Googles fickle will until they cancel it too.

CHERI is a redesign of how an ISA accesses memory to protect against memory corruption under the assumption that it's easier to extend an instruction set and recompile existing C and C++ code (with minimal changes) than rewrite every e

SRAM also requires more power than DRAM and the simple regular structure of SRAM arrays compared to (other) logic makes it possible to get good yield rates through redundancy and error correction codes so you could have giant monolithic die

I can't wait for some uarch to fuck everyone over and decide that after tracking zeroing idioms in the the renamer the next escalation is to eliminate data dependencies if the renamer detects it's not outcome determinative e.g. AN

Depends on what you need. Forth is great for explorative programming on microcontrollers.

It can be done. I do it every few days, so the mechanisms to do that exist, but there is no agreed upon exchange format to form a community around to reuse work packaging application deployments.

Suspending desktop systems is unusual, but these days traditional ACPI S3 (and S4) suspend is missing from more and more systems in favor of the far less efficient modern suspend just so your notification terror continues around the clock.

Just because the source code is open source doesn't mean the upstream repo going into your car has to be run by a toxic community with a chip on their shoulder.

Is it confirmed that it doesn't just include lots of dummy silicon for mechanical support, at least 16 working cores and the I/O die?

Sure buddy. Just one little thing please tell me where you found a RV64GCV system with comparable throughput as well as throughput per watt instead of a ~100MHz in-order dual-issue toy core that doesn't exist outside FPGAs (and emulati
