It's certainly a good time to become a 3D graphics developer, or at least be proficient at it. WebGL simply works. The internet is fast enough to ship a lot of assets. Even phones can render tons of graphical elements. Mix in WASM and

Please read the article. TMPFS was internally using 32bit unsigned int for counting inode number, which got overflow-ed. Kernel already has 64bit wide ino_t, the dev migrated to it.

It’s actually quite easy. Roast game companies to integrate the national-wide timekeeping service into their games. AFAIK, this is what Korea had been doing, but the policy recently got called off.

The whole business sounds very shady. It's likely that the plant is sourced from the side of roads, untended fields, forests, construction companies (selling anything they find for coffee money), etc. It's a completely black area,

While the progress seems not up to the speed, the approach itself sounds pretty nice. You can make improvements module-by-module, from the bottom to the top. With this approach, it's very easy to set priorities using conventional profi

Well, this is just a whole bunch of "maybe". I think maybe we can train this further using existing linters and analyzers? At least the AI will emit far fewer lines of critically dangerous code, but we'll still have a lot of

At least, for now, people can resist by suing, without fearing unfairly being punished. However, punishing for making false claims will suppress only the weaks by making it harder to sue powerful entities, as they'll get doubly punis

Geez, even RSA is not secure if you push this thing hard enough. Cryptography is all about making it difficult to decrypt, not impossible to decrypt. One can easily setup a conspiracy theory that the government can record all the traffic,

FYI, the compression speed numbers from the paper: gzip = 17 MB/s xz = 1 MB/s CMIX = 1.6 kB/s NNCP = 2~3 kB/s (Note that NNCP is using RTX 3090 here.) Not only this is unacceptable for hot/warm

Network + personal info, I guess...? But a catch here is that most people in the network are proficient in technology, which makes it difficult to abuse them like how Facebook does to its users.
