The user pays for it or suffers the consequences. Anyone relying on such bloated browsers has externalised the cost for coming up with a resource efficient alternative to their users.

Most applications switching to LibreSSL should seriously consider to go one step further and check if the libtls can replace their existing libssl usage: https://github.com/bob-beck/libtls/blob/master/TUT

The addition of raw 0-byte separated output will make reliable scripting (e.g. piping into xargs -0) a lot easier.

Or wait for the incumbent to get big fat and lazy before beating them using a 10x faster, dumb, "unsuitable" interconnect loaded to only to half its theoretical bandwidth.

At least it's only the soft limit. The hard limit isn't reduced. The simplest workaround is to wrap the start of the of process with a shell script raising the soft limit before it execs into the application you want to run.

Select has 1024 bit/file descriptor bitmap and anyone using it gets what they deserve. MacOS also provides poll() as a slightly less braindead, but still POSIX option. The proper solution is to use kqueue()/kevent() allowing users

Do you really consider 256 file descriptors a sane resource limit on processes?

You need hot-swappable barf bags to read the output from their damn code generators. Despite being a code generator >90% of the output is dead code hidden inside a giant ifdef maze.

The only time I had problems with the Nvidia driver on FreeBSD was when KMS was introduced because it broke my existing configuration (visible screen tearing during video playback with mplayer in a floating window managed by i3). The soluti

You sort of can, but drivers have to be in sync with the (emulated) devices they're controlling. The fastest way to go about this would be to snapshot an already booted virtual system. It could be as simple as instructing the restored

In this case I hate to have to agree with Meta. The Canadian government created the problem with its flawed policies designed to prop up a dying business model.

The problem with nested virtualisation is that it isn't fully hardware accelerated. The missing features (shadow paging, etc.) have to emulated in software. Such emulation requires lots of delicate error prone code.

For FreeBSD VMs I would recommend removing the VNC console. If the only console is a TTY FreeBSD does the right thing out of the box. It also requires a lot less bandwidth to tunnel a serial console than a video stream of a text console.

Insane internal bandwidth for the price (in theory you can sustain 4 x 32 bit memory transfers per cycle) and good for digital I/O. Its a < $1 chip with enough pins to be useful. If you already have a ESP32 or similar sized MCU it c

Hasn't AMD proven multiple times that a double pumped packed-SIMD implementation works well enough? Just the permute operations need a full width data path to get reasonable latencies. Intel already overplayed their hand with AVX-512 w

How about bencode? c-sexp? netstrings? The important features I would demand are: able to represent the types you need (e.g. integers instead of strings of digits or floats) and designed to have a canonical presentation from the beginning.

Does this mean you could fit its whole working set in the cache hierarchy of a modern high end GPU getting near 100% ALU utilisation?

You can walkt through the (virtual) halls of forbidden knowledge and hiding text on textures visible in complex game engines can be an effective to bypass censorship using inconspicuous tools.

Only school Optimus with a MUX chip used to work just fine on my T420. For a long time the newer Optimus streaming through the (Intel) iGPU wasn't supported transparently, but you could use indirect OpenGL using environment variables.
