There are several DSP & VLIW platforms that have their own toolchain (not gcc), and they only support C programming language (for example Trimedia VLIW processors, TM1300, PNX1500, PNX1700 and a lot more SoC based on TM32/TM64 core

Despite what you may think, C is still the most portable language. I can think of several embedded platforms where Rust or C++ is not even an option.

make is not very well suited for extremely large projects (Android or some other OS distribution for example). Bazel works best in such scenarios. it is not just for C++, it has support for other languages too, and in IMO it works better th

Also In cloud environments, I would much rather trust an eBPF program, than a kernel module.

Great stuff. I can already see few use cases for this. However, I think having more technical details about how to go about reversing and implementing new hardware components for QEMU will be great. The destination may not be interesting to

If you look at vim commit history, it was pretty much stagnant for a long period of time, and then activity picked up in 2016, when it finally got competition from neovim. IMO governance model for vim, is not much receptive to community con

I find lots of arguments about who was actually more arrogant. But lets look at it from objective perspective. Looking at neovim[1] vs vim[2] contribution Bram is top contributor for vim. 16,211 commit right now. Second top most contributor

I dont blame the parent for paranoia. NIST has been involved in standardizing protocol/algorithms with backdoors. It is not a controversary, it is documented. Although they pulled off the standard when it became public news [1]. [1] h

It is result of decompilation/disassembling Apple's binaries. I have done this in past. Apple uses some sort of thirdparty whitebox crypto and code obfuscation tool, that hides underlying algorithm into a mess. Underlying algorith

I second this.. very useful for vector NLP and other ML tasks.

and to back up your point... There should be at least 2 implementations for anything to be a spec/standard.

For people advocating use of C++ instead of C, keep in mind there are several platforms (mostly embedded) that only support C and not C++. Also there are many projects that make use of C only. If C++ is available, I agree one should use it,

I am afraid NLP is becoming a game of scale. Large scale models improve the quality but makes it prohibitively expensive to train, and even host such models.

There can be legitimate reasons for restricting access to IoT traffic, and data may not be user data at all. Imagine an IoT light bulb, that can be controlled via voice assistants and IoT vendor's mobile app. This bulb talks to some s

You don't own the communication as a network operator, unless you can also prove that you have control over the device. IoT devices sometime rely on sending sensitive data to their backends. This data may include API keys, client authe
