Yeah, but that would be real work for someone who loves and understands guitars. Being a serial patent/trademark troll is the private equity company's bread and butter.

Design rights[1] are a thing. However they need to be continuously defended. You can't let competitors make your designs (without license) for decades and then suddenly turn around and try to enforce the right, as seems to be the cas

Can someone explain what the actual legal basis for this is? The shape of the guitar is very old (75+ years) and has been extensively copied before, so one would assume that patents and trademarks would not cover it.

GCC has been innovating for a while with dmalcolm's -fanalyzer stuff.

Uranium? Tricky to fuel a nuclear reactor with gold. Hydrocarbons? Everything from making life to providing energy. Silicon? Making silicon chips. Oxygen? I like breathing.

For the "average bystander" they're going to buy an OS and compatible hardware, or if they're the average programmer they're going to use a compiler and libraries that solve the problem already for them. Very ver

I agree the naming is annoying. However the extensions aren't too hard to understand. They are much more regular than on other architectures. I wrote a deep dive into them here: https://research.redhat.com/blog/

This plus to be "Disney-level" successful means if it doesn't make 10s/100s of millions in profit, it's not worth doing. Something that's ordinarily successful (even making steady millions each year) is going

The Mind's I (a collection of essays) or I Am a Strange Loop are probably more appropriate reading here.

The developers signing off on this will be "Human crumple zones" to protect the company from liability. Be very cautious if asked to sign off on anything like this.

The new UI is terrible, and the most important change they've done this year is ... drum roll ... renaming merge requests as "work items", because reasons. Having said that, UI gripes aside, it works fine as a less complica

While also no doubt telling C-level that the AI can write code completely automatically. The developers in this scenario are there to absorb the blame when things go wrong. "Human crumple-zones" to protect the company.

It's weird that people (claim to) have had bad luck with cassette tape, because it worked pretty well for me. I don't believe I ever had a player chew tape, although I was never rich enough to afford a car stereo with a tape play

His team used ifunc because it made the attack less obvious if you are running sshd under strace. An alarm or clone system call in strace would stick out a mile, even if the code executing the syscall was obfuscated. So it's clever

$500 isn't worth my time and I don't trust you'd pay up. But for anyone who wants to attempt to get him to pay up, here are three simple approaches: (A1) In a POSIX constructor function in liblzma, set an alarm(2) for a few

by rwmj 6mo ago
Yes, liblzma could have used multiple routes to take over sshd. Once you're running inside the process it's game over. The exact details, like how they used ifunc and an audit hook, are very interesting, but ultimately not that

We've spent a lot of time over the last decade making NBD a faster and better protocol: pipelined requests, full support for trim and zeroing, load balancing over multiple connections, a proper specification, new client and server impl

by rwmj 6mo ago
Requests and responses are pipelined so at least you're not serializing on round trips. However fundamentally if there is lots of latency, then you're going to be affected in some way. Usually we see problems where the OS access

iSCSI seems intentionally obscure. One of the improvements I made to NBD was invent a simple, standardized URI format so that you can specify servers easily, eg: nbdinfo nbd://server nbdcopy nbd://server:2001&#x2F
