From context I assume the author was talking about some sort of embedded device, not a high-power smartphone.

Python is mostly refcounted, and I think Python is useful to put in the table because it's a common language and provides a good baseline for user-friendly scripting language performance.

So people are supposed to accurately detect bullshit without ever confirming it with a reputable source?

It was a SoC device that had a real-time latency requirement. I'm actually surprised they even bothered putting Java in the table.

Only reference-counting actually stops dlclose() from unmapping the library, and that just means you haven't balanced out all the dlopens() (well, you can't unmap anything linked from the main executable, or anything in the dyld s

I question what the author was expecting to happen. If bar_exit comes from a dylib, and that dylib is subsequently unmapped, you can't very well call any functions from the unmapped library, so there's only 4 possible outcomes I c

Because nobody calls people from Mexico "Latin". If someone walked up to me and said "Hey I'm Latin" I'd be really confused. You're... a dead language?

I think detecting extensions would be reasonable if they're doing this in order to figure out what features their users want that LinkedIn isn't providing, so they can start offering those features as first-party features instead.

Same. Many many years ago I straight-up deleted my LinkedIn account (in an attempt to cut down on recruiter cold-calls, which didn't work) and I've never suffered as a result.

Also the videos were presumably damaging to the Twitch brand for anyone who saw them, which translates into lost revenue for Twitch.

They demonstrated owning an Android device. The page says iPhones since iPhone 4 use the Broadcom WiFi SoC but otherwise makes no mention of whether the exploit works on iPhone. Most mobile phones allow the baseband to have full access to t

iPhones have anti-hammering already. The Secure Enclave counts password attempts and enforced a lockout period (and wipes the keys after 10 attempts if configured to do so). There was an attack years ago, where you could kill power to the d

How would an exploit in wireless, 3g/4g, etc lead to a full compromise of the device? These components don’t have full access to the device to begin with, and definitely don’t have access to the disk encryption keys. And yeah, you can’

It is in the interests of our citizens to have talent flow into the US instead of flowing out. But that wasn't really my point. My point was people who have benefitted from our country's historic immigration practices are decrying

by eridius 7y ago
And of course the "americans" they're talking about are descended from immigrants themselves, because you can be sure they're not saying that the jobs should go to indigenous people.

If iOS gains enough features to replace macOS, then it will just be macOS again. iOS is gaining new features, but it's still a rather constrained and touch-focused environment. For example, you can do split-screen on iPadOS, but you ca

You can't hire cheaper others because of the "same or higher compensation" bit. The only reason to fire anyone from Scoot is if they're genuinely not good at their job and you can replace them with someone who performs b

I always assumed Scoot's model was to iterate until they'd really polished the product, and then get an infusion of cash (ideally just a loan though probably VC money) and start expanding to a lot more cities. The fact that Bird g

Using nightly features is as simple as inserting +nightly as the first argument to rustc or cargo (assuming rust was installed with rustup, which is the default way to install it). So in this case, it's just `rustc +nightly green_threa

To be honest, I'd be quite happy if Scoot stopped doing kick scooters and just focused on mopeds, and ran the kick scooters under the Bird name instead. I don't actually like the kick scooters, so they just clutter up the Scoot ap

by eridius 7y ago
Please tell me they'll keep the Scoot branding. Scoot's brand is much better than Bird's, and in particular the red Scoot mopeds are quite distinctive and fun whereas black Bird ones wouldn't be.

Scoot doesn't operate bikes. They operate electric mopeds and kick scooters. Lyft is suing over bikeshare. AFAICT Scoot is not related to the lawsuit.

They use Rust in the datacenter. The layer that actually writes bits to disk is written in Rust. I don't know why they haven't yet deployed a native desktop client that's a Rust core with a thin platform-native GUI wrapper.

Encryption in iOS is per-file. I'm not sure the OS really wants to go ahead and individual decrypt large numbers of files just to check if there are any duplicated blocks.

And if fd 1 is reused for something, that something becomes, by definition, stdout.
