Why the mitigations are even on by default, if the problem doesn’t exist for dedicated single user environments? (desktops/laptops/dedicated server hardware with no code from other users running). Most desktops and laptops run a

The website goes blank when I block third-party JavaScript from loading. Can you please see if you can fix that? Weird, we will have a look. For those that block JavaScript by default, it would also be nice to get something more than You

I haven't measured it, but it will use AES-NI instructions when available. I don't notice a difference in daily use.

New operating systems today tend to be just ways of reimplementing Unix. If they have a novel architecture -- and some do -- the first thing to build is the Unix emulation layer. How can operating systems research be relevant when the resu

That's a good point. However, many regulators get hot with high loads. Also, the short circuit projection of some regulators is to burn out. Given all these problems and the relative carelessness of kids, I can see why they would dig t

Because kids do things like connecting VCC and ground, or drawing too much power from microcontroller pins, etc. (I guess)

Our five year old daughter has one and absolutely loves it. Given her age, she is mostly at the 'show my drawings when a button is pressed'-stage. But she is having a lot of fun and is proud of the tiny programs that she made. Tha

I can only come to the same conclusion. Typing this on a 2018 MacBook 15 inch, and it's a disaster. I still keep accidentally hitting the Touchbar ten times per day while typing (it's not a press-bar, duh) My favorite problem is

I am still using a MacBook Pro 2018 as my laptop, but do my primary work on an Intel NUC8i5BEH with Linux. I work remotely from my home, so I rarely need the laptop anymore. The NUC has the same quad core Intel i5-8259U, with double the RAM

TCO was also a big part of the marketing campaign of Microsoft against Linux in the late 90ies, early 00s. A big difference compared to one or two decades ago is that a lot of domain-specific services have moved to web applications. So, the

It is not the same thing. SyncThing's model of having to add every host to every other host (possibly with introducer nodes) is much more complex. With Bittorrent/Resilio Sync, you can just give someone else a read-only or read-wr

It is now called Resilio Sync and it still works fine. Unfortunately, they have focused more on enterprise customers and now have more enterprise pricing.

The problem of running untrusted code is that the whole stack is a potential attack vector. From CPU to Javascript JIT compiler. Systems will never be secure enough to fully isolate untrusted code, because (1) people make dumb mistakes; (2)

I understand that GNOME3 was an (successful) attempt to attract more users which were intimidated by the more "tracktor" or "steam engine" like designs of Linux desktops back then. But was it successful? Are there any

But the RobotDyn Blue Pill has the correct USB resistor values. Also, a lot of unnamed Blue Pills come with bad voltage regulators. My time is worth the extra $2 ;).

Again I refer you to RHEL who have an open source version and an enterprise subscription. But the enterprise version is the open source version. Red Hat just didn't provide the binaries, now they even provide the binaries (since they

I do like them, I have a supply of Wemos D1 Minis ;). I also like the Robotdyn Blue Pill (STM32, fun for playing with Rust). Regardless, I find the minimalism of the ATtinies interesting too, but haven't made the plunge yet.

How often do you want to send/receive data? I experimented with a Wemos D1 Mini and a pack of 4 rechargeable NiMH batteries (LiPo batteries seem like playing with fire, literally). In deep sleep the power consumption is very low, I mea

My favorite is the ATTINY 85. It's so cheap and yet, it can do almost most of the things you can do an Arduino. And yes, you can program it using the Arduino IDE as well. How do you deal with the small number of pins? The NRF24L01+ u

Nix does not have libraries in the dynamic linking library path, they are made available for linking by specifying the library's derivation as a dependency. There is no such thing as e.g. a global glibc or readline. E.g.: % ldd $(w

E.g. since immutable references are the default, you immediately know whether or not a call will modify its argument. You do not, since the type of which an object is referenced could use interior mutability (e.g. RefCell ). So, you only
