I wasn't talking about regulation. EDF's relationship with the French government goes well beyond that.

by fweimer 4y ago
EDF has recently been re-nationalized, and has always been under strong government influence. It's not a good example of a civilian/free market nuclear power plant operator.

At least the GPDR should allow you to correct the age. I don't think it has any provisions that say that if you entered incorrect data yourself, you waive your right to have data corrected.

It depends. DSL and GPON are ITU-T standards. DOCSIS and Ethernet are not. 3GPP (mobile networks) does not seem to be ITU-T-dominated either, although they reuse some ITU processes. ASN.1 and X.509 are widely used in some Internet protocols

It doesn't say why one should use this WebAssembly implementation, and not (for example) the V8-based implementation that comes with Node.js.

CLA is sort of neutral in this regard. You can have DCO-style CLAs with incoming == outgoing licensing, where the contributor and the project organization end up with the same rights. But like with DCO, switching to proprietary is still pos

What's missing is that it also affects linking, and results in this strange action-at-a-distance. Maybe disabling the linker part with -shared would be a reasonable compromise.

Why isn't it possible to resolve such business disputes through the courts? For example, Epic's suit wasn't thrown out of court immediately, so I just don't see how other decisions could not be reviewed on a case-by-case

Eden Medina's Cybernetic Revolutionaries is a good resource on this topic. The way it worked beginning in the 80s was that once you had your local in-country research network, you eventually felt compelled to hook it up to NSFNET (ma

Certain symbols are provided by the dynamic linker, such as __tls_get_addr for certain forms of TLS access, or the __rseq_* symbols describing the restartable sequences area maintained by the kernel.

by fweimer 4y ago
Not quite. When producing an executable (relocatable or not), link editors may assume that there is just one such executable in the process image. This enables optimizations, typically around global data access and TLS access. Two such exec

Exactly. In addition to that, it seemed very likely that the glibc 2.34 reorganization already broke software which depended on such hidden implementation details.

-fno-exceptions should be sufficient for this, especially if you link statically. People also use `-fno-rtti` to save the extra data by dynamic_cast etc.

It's equally possible that they added DT_HASH lookup to achieve glibc 2.34 compatibility. The old way for getting the original dlsym function after interposing dlsym stopped working because the (internal, usually uninterposed, now unus

If the required symbol versions are provided by the old glibc version (which is a bit unlikely), it will still work. The internal glibc hash tables are ignored by the link editor, and most distributions override the link editor hash table d

I meant that the interface for __cxa_allocate_exception is designed in such a way that it cannot substitute std::bad_alloc for the exception being allocated.
768.
by fweimer 4y ago
Mostly it works, except for memory allocation failures. These will terminate the process. But then, the Itanium C++ ABI has some quirks that make it impossible to throw an exception (any exception) in all out-of-memory conditions, so perhap

Often, it's just sporadic bugs in the big integer implementation, for example: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/13515 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/13907 Peter Gu

Debian packages rustc-mozilla for building Firefox. Firefox ESR 102 will need Rust 1.59.0, and that version has already been uploaded to stable-proposed-updates. 1.59 is not that old (it's from February 2022), and this actually build

I think the GCC switch only changes the threshold when registers aren't used. The address of the temporary struct that the called function writes to is always passed as a hidden argument. The compiler will allocate the memory on the st

I thought that with DAX, it was possible to have a real file system, but access to the actual bits goes straight to the backing storage, not the page cache (as it would with traditional block devices). So the block layer and VFS inefficienc

This is what the patch does. It does not handle the case of VM resume yet. Fork safety is achieved through a generic mechanism that any userspace generator could use. The advantage the vDSO has is that it can assume that MADV_WIPEONFORK is

I expect that most vendors carry downstream kernel patches with an approved algorithm, so that the kernel can still be used as an entropy source.

I don't see why this couldn't be validated if an approved DRBG is used instead.

Even in the hard sciences, the results are fundamentally about statistics. And they often require very expensive machines for reproduction. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to try to optimize the scientific process for fraud resilienc

What operating system(s) do they use to run their cloud services? Given that MacOS has moved in a different direction for many years, it seems a bit unlikely that they run that at this point.

It's very difficult to do more to help Asahi Linux. If they upstreamed things properly into Linux (which is arguably the most cost-effective way to support hardware on a broad scale), Mesa, QEMU and related projects, Asahi Linux as a s
