Nvidia isn't using TSMC for any of their current products, they're using Samsung. They may switch to TSMC for their more high-end cards, but I don't think that is the case right now.

You absolutely can allocate memory without using up any backing resources. On Linux (which is where I have experience, but I assume macos works similarly), even after mapping some memory, it won't be backed by any physical memory (e.g.

I've never had issues with gmail, though I know a few people who did. But I think setting up SPF and DKIM will, for the most part, do the trick to allow communicating with gmail users. The problem is the other provider. Yahoo, AOL, Mic

I have run my own email infrastructure for 3 years, for personal use (I was the only user). I have since moved to using fastmail due to my mail failing to be delivered to any microsoft email. Microsoft would accept the mail, but it would ne

At least for rust, a librs would be hard to create due to the lack of a stable ABI. So even if you did a pure rust libstd (like the now defunct Steed[0]), you'd still need to either manually link that libc (breaking the mitigation), or

I wasn't making any claim on whether this mitigation is actually useful, I was simply stating it's unlikely to introduce more vulnerabilities than the status quo. But since you're asking, I can think of two upsides: 1. It res

Geez man, way to take things out of context. Let me fix your quote: > Going through the libc is very unlikely to actually introduce vulnerabilities, especially if going through the lowest level function that directly wrap the syscall. Su

The system call interface is usually written in an unsafe language such as asm anyways. Going through the libc is very unlikely to actually introduce vulnerabilities, especially if going through the lowest level function that directly wrap

For what it's worth, rustls relies on ring which has primitives written in C and ASM because getting constant-time operation guarantees from Rust is Very Hard. Though progress is being made on this area.

Compile it for wasm and use a wasm runtime built in a memory-safe language? I believe some wasm runtimes allow for making raw syscalls.

Any language that can call C ABI and support the necessary datastructures, yes. That's the point of win32metadata.

I was curious how this worked: The previous iteration of this only worked for WinRT API, and this new crate seemed to also work by generating code from WinMD files. But WinMD files only contained definitions for WinRT/COM APIs, so how

The winapi does a lot of work to support that use-case. Importantly, it ships (mingw) import libraries to allow linking against windows libs from linux trivially[0]. EDIT: windows-rs doesn't yet support cross compilation as easily as w

Big +1 on fastmail. However, the big upside is that I have my own domain now, so if I need to migrate to something else (be it self-hosted or another provider) I can easily do so without losing all my contacts.

User-agent, in my experience, is mostly misused as an attempt for compatibility, but it really shouldn't be used that way. The proper way to do cross-browser compat is feature testing, as browsers keep adding more features. Google un

Basically, just recompile for the M1. For the rare apps that have some assembly or cpu-specific intrinsics (e.g. for vectorization in math-heavy code), you'll need to port those to ARM64 as well, but that should be very rare.

Not sure what you mean? In what way is the update 'forced'? It's not being silently installed, it's not like existing apps will suddenly stop working if it isn't applied. This is only "forced" when you loo
