L0 is only used by speculatively executed uOPs, before they are actually committed. Therefore anything that reads from L0 has to be speculatively executed too. So if the uOP populated the L0 was reading from kernel memory, then it won'

There's another firefox prompt which also annoys me. Firefox sometimes asks me if I want to do a factory reset, clear all my settings and add-ons, "to make the browser faster". I believe most users will find this question abs

What? Am I insane? Why don't Google take legal action? What it's doing now is completely barbaric. And Google supports Net Neutrality too. Isn't what it is doing exactly opposite to the spirit of Net Neutrality? Just because

You know who is a big user of JS? Who is using more, and more complex JS on their websites? Google. Google is also the pusher of some of the WebAPIs that will give browsers more access to your system (e.g. WebUSB [1]) Do you think Google is

So there is the Intel reference implementation. But vendors are free to make changes, and their versions are not open source.

Spend it like a normal 17 years old. You have decades for coding, but you can only be 17 once.

But there're users who do. Is a minority of users not users? By this logical, we can remove all accessibility features, because disabled users are only a minority.

I interned at Google once. And the first thing they told us at the orientation is that they put the users first. Is that a lie then? Because what you said seems to imply Google puts the convenience of the developers first.

Forgot to mention: void also provides musl linked binaries for all packages. So kinda like Alpine, but you can choose between glibc and musl.

Why does cells even exist then?

by nialv7 9y ago
You can not. The point is you cannot run the code of a compiler, you have to run the compiled binary. And there's no way to verify if the binary does the same thing as the code when the Ken Thompson Hack is implemented.

In Rust there is this concept called interior mutability. Which allows the user to mutate something through a shared reference (&T). You might want to say "hold on, how can this be safe?" The trick here is that there are runti

Linux has a established rule for module license. In the kernel, functions which might be used by any modules are exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL. But if a module wants to use functions exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, then the module has to use
