   Thanks for the context! I was too young to know these backstories.

   Of course we can avoid all the lasting architecture mistakes we made if we knew it before and had been doing it correctly since the beginning. And it's practical, right? Right? See, when there are no "system security" word on

   It's not about failed attempt at finding a hole, it's about failed attempt at actually making use of a hole (i.e. write an exploit) given a hole. (FG)ASLR is more of a "targeting at exploit instead of vulnerability" styl

   Does anyone know an actually-happened example case where a fine-grained ASLR (like the OpenBSD relink one) successfully mitigates or significantly hinders an exploit, and the usual ASLR doesn't? I'm curious because years ago the a

   I also remembered the 11k number and just did a search in my browsing history. Turns out there was a rumor saying 11k, with Microsoft said it was not true shortly before they announced the 10k layoff. Since it all happened in the same week,

   Arrow the format is pretty good, there are occasional quirks (null bitmap has 1 = non-null etc) but no big deal. From my experience Arrow the C++ implementation is pretty solid too, though I don't like it (taste). I just don't lik

    I agree that the GIL situation is unfortunate. Python at least does not pretend their it-just-works serialization is secure. The documentation [1] actively discourages deserializing untrusted data and suggests to use pure data format (e.g.

    Java is unique as the culture encourages doing magic convention over configuration by reflection AND it-just-works serialization, which leads to a new bug class: unsafe deserialization except that the deserialization happens in the library

    A consistent 5 ms difference in micro-benchmarks is definitely not "measurement noise". Noise averages out way before accumulating to 5ms. There must be a reason and it mostly likely relates to the change. So you can confidently s

    The challenge is not about getting better vaccines, but actually pushing vaccines to the older population. For those >= 80 years old, Only 65.7% had two shots and 40% had booster [1]. This is very low compared to, for example, Singapore.
