I wrote Bloaty ( https://github.com/google/bloaty ) which involved writing a totally custom ELF file parser. Here are some epiphanies I had about ELF while writing it. ELF (and Mach-O, PE, etc) are designed to optimize

Swap has to get paged into real RAM when there is a page fault (presumably evicting something else). I'm guessing that this is actually mapping the NVM directly into the process, so individual loads and stores write directly to the de

You can unfollow people on Facebook without unfriending them. Works wonders for people who you have a relationship with, but don't necessarily need to see their stream of posts.

I feel like you're missing GP's point. Even if we stipulate that leaks are in the public interest (inasmuch as they expose corruption), selective leaks give an undue amount of power to the person deciding what to leak. If we w

I'm amazed this is so complicated. I recently used https://github.com/sekey/sekey to set up SSH with TouchID on a mac, and was really surprised how simple it was.

This is a confusing graph from the Economist that I snipped when I saw it in 2013. Very difficult to wrap your head around what is being shown here: https://pasteboard.co/I7ttkG5.png

I would love for this to be solid, but something here seems too good to be true. Modern hashing is well-studied, with lots of smart people attacking the problem. Modern hashes like Google's FarmHash are thousands of lines of code wit

Agreed, if that's the whole hash function I think small code size is a selling point of this hash compared with other modern fast hashes. This hash function looks like it will do unaligned reads if you're hashing an unaligned stri

I got a Tesla last year. I love it. But it's been painfully obvious to me that Autopilot is nowhere close to something that will let you take a nap. Often when I'm stopped at a light, cars that are standing completely still will

The article said disproportionately more underpayment was to men. Therefore your hypothetical scenario (which posits that the difference was measured in absolute terms) is not what Google found.
