   A JavaScript JIT requires memory that is writable and executable. W^X is a security feature and required for the security model of walled gardens. Otherwise you could pull down unapproved code and make the walled garden useless. They don’

    The deployment of ARM in the data center has been more words/vapor than reality for years. And if you try one of Scaleway’s baremetal ARM offerings, you realize that using Intel CPUs is similar to using an SSD. Once you use it, it’s

    Oh, and the reason they’re doing this is ARM offerings from Qualcomm and Nvidia are very likely going to start seriously entering Desktop PCs. Some people may argue they’ll finally make a serious push into servers too, but that has failed

    Everyone is bitching about how UEFI makes them not the owner of their computer anymore, as if they’re using an open source BIOS and ever had any firmware layer control over their PC. The fact that you can argue that with BIOS you have contr

    Extremely valid point. It survives, but loses some of the essential character or traits that made it great. So perhaps the result with Linux might be that the project continues, but the kernel forks, and even the official Linux branded ker

    I’m always amazed how quickly most people’s principles go right out the window the moment they’re angry. Publishing unauthorized nude photos is wrong, period. Doesn’t matter what a piece of shit he’s accused of being. He deserves prison
