I know next to nothing about .net, but this seems like the classic “you’re holding it wrong” excuse to me. If there’s a way to call an api the wrong way and the right way, and both appear to work, large number of developers will implement t

I wonder how much of it is unwillingness to explain rather than the inability to do so? The vibe I got was that the audience was not interested in changing their ways, after all they've been doing things their way for decades with grea

Safe Rust prevents data races, but not race conditions in general.

Great article. Although I’ve been a Linux user since the time when stack of Slackware floppies was the prevailing installation media, I just recently learned that libc.so is also an executable.

I think your premise is somewhat off. There might be 20 million hotel rooms in a world, but surely they are not individually priced, e.g. all king bed rooms in a given hotel have the same price per given day.

There are plenty of other one-liners: is-odd, is-promise, etc.

If your employer allows for you to build rust projects, Helix build and installation process from source is pretty straightforward, so that might be an option.

I believe Xeons still include SGX even today. You’re correct about the consumer CPUs not supporting it anymore.

Yes, the debt weighs heavily around their neck. If it eventually ends up in bankruptcy, will Elon Musk lose control of his beloved x.com domain name for the second time?

This is a very interesting and thorough investigation. Highly recommended!

On the other hand, maintaining a custom tool vs a patched fork is not that dissimilar, is it? If patching the prevalent tool makes sense otherwise, I wouldn’t worry too much about upstreaming.

Interestingly enough, John Ousterhout was a recently on Book Overflow podcast and he says he uses this very refactoring but on reverse to teach good software design. So it’s good for something!

Could you please give a firsthand account of an instance when a great engineer built a novel solution? I feel NIH syndrome is way more common cause for building things from the ground up

I bought the Stevens’ book sometime in the 90’s. I believe I still have it, but I haven’t opened it up in years or maybe even decades at this point, so my recollections might be a bit off. The book predates important developments like epoll

Yet the xz attack specifically targeted the packages and nothing else. And it worked, to a point. All I’m saying package maintainers are human and can’t detect everything.

If the language in question disallows function overloading, this distinction becomes very clear. For an example, see Rust option's unwrap_or[1] vs unwrap_or_else. [1] https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.

Fun fact: Linus Torvalds originally named his fledgling OS as “Freax”, but it was an FTP site admin who came up with “Linux” and the rest is history. So perhaps the opportunity is not completely missed…

Maybe I’m missing a joke here but to me “godbolt is a real person” seems way out of place. Compiler Explorer is a great contribution to the community and he gives informative and humorous presentations. I would like to know why he got dragg

Others have already addressed the impossibility of exhausting the system entropy pool, however, I would add that you can buffer Read() to amortize the cost of the syscall. Also, make sure that your patch does not introduce a secure vulnerab

I hope that one positive development from this saga will be that open source users do not want to been as the next Jugar Kumar and choose to act less entitled and demanding towards maintainers.
