If there’s a pattern of them submitting a ton of these kind of patches, that could be viewed as gaming a metric. Huawei might, for example, be assessing kernel developer performance partially on # of upstreamed commits, and I guess that’s w

They’re still going to be reviewed, and if the cover letter says “typo fixes” and one of the patches fixes more than a typo, that would be an instant red flag. A single bigger patch set is faster and easier to review.

Wow. Back door accounts are just totally inexcusable these days - manufacturers should be held to account if their back doors end up getting exploited by threat actors. (Granted, you could argue it’s hard to distinguish between a really te

Now that these differences are documented, are they going to have to be maintained forever? Or is there any chance that the Apple ABI could converge to the AArch64 ABI over time?

Depends on the object. As OP notes, `make_shared` with weak pointers is fine "if the base object has a relatively small memory footprint after it's been destructed". There's lots of cases where the object itself is big,

Very tangential, but the very slight angle on the “Memory Safety” highlight threw me for a loop. For a moment I wasn’t sure if it was actually slanted or not until I zoomed way in to confirm the slant. That’s distracting as heck and I can

This looks beautiful. I've already started using Rich in the REPL - it's definitely a nice little upgrade to get. The developer is very responsive and the project looks amazing.

And, if you want to literally run the bytecode, there’s that little issue of nested blocks and block start/end tags…a proper WASM CPU would have to perform parsing in order to handle any form of control flow. (Alternatively, you could

Maybe that was true at some point, but it’s no longer true. FreeRTOS consists of a core of 6-7 .c files (some of which may be optional) plus 2-3 board support source files. See their GitHub mirror: https://github.com/FreeRTO

This loop doesn’t test them all - it tests every 1/127th integer, so it only runs about 16 million times.

Having messed with some WASM code, I would say that the byte code is NOT easy to write an interpreter for due to the (IMO insane) way blocks work. Blocks are nested but the start/end tags need to be matched up in order to determine whe

The only universal, fixed-size encoding is UTF-32, which, as you can imagine, is very wasteful on space for ASCII text. Like it or not, most of the interesting strings in a given program are probably ASCII. UTF-16 is not a fixed-size encodi

Not to nitpick, but wouldn’t some of the same arguments against virtual functions apply to function pointers in C? The kernel uses a lot of “obj->obj_ops->foo(obj, arg)” calls which are similarly dependent on the precise type of obj.
