   I love good rant and this one sent me into paroxysms of delight! About 9 out of 10 gradle build configurations that I have encountered fail to build something. That's surprising, and infuriating given that: * Gradle is based on a porta

   Notwithstanding the comments here refuting the vulnerability, this is an informative and potentially useful article. I learned some stuff. FWIW, my fresh install of Fedora 38 uses argon2id as the KDF.

    His points, paraphrased by me: * Gnome 2 had a lot of themes but since then, there aren't that many. * Compiz fun is gone. * Wayland limits the number of supported desktops. * The desktop is more complicated and it's harder to tin

    This is interesting and a nice thing to have built into the JVM. It seems to me though that SubstrateVM[1] makes calling native functions even easier (from page 8 of the slides): // C: struct timespec { __time_t tv
