   Is there a similar spec laptop selling in the US? The sources the author refers to seem to be UK-based. I found a few generally-similar items on aliexpress, but they didn't seem to have the USB-c charging and display feature, which i

    Hmm has anybody used e.g., llvm to do regex -> ir -> native code? I found a 2008 presentation about llvm's "regcomp", but didn't immediately turn up any benchmarks; anyway, surely the state of the art moved since

    I looked around and wasn't able to find whether this firmware has been reverse engineered (surely it has been) -- the snark barker just has a .hex file checked into their git.

    There must still be some dark pointer magic going on, because I noticed that unless I disabled ASLR on Debian Stretch, each build of a precompiled header came out different, screwing up ccache. I can only conclude that the specific memory
