> lawyers essentially do what they are told Well, people defending themselves about doing bad things by stating that they are just doing what they are told are rightfully criticized. Even more so when they are in a high end profession.

Although the Surface Book is still plagued by Windows and firmware/drivers issues, despite being insanely expensive, and it is also quite small, so its nice 3:2 screen is only as tall as a 15.6 16:9 screen, and obviously narrower -- I

I've got a T530 and this does not happen. I uninstalled quite a bit (but not all) of Lenovo crap, though.

I have a T530 at the moment and I'm really happy with it. I bought it with a quite high end config (but not the most possible) ~ 3 years ago and it is still competitive to most new high end laptops; of course it is bulkier and heavier,

It might slightly slow-down a motivated and competent attacker to not have the source. But it also very highly slow down discovery of some bugs by non-hardcore security researchers, most especially security bugs.

In my experience it's quite the opposite for some workloads: Linux FS and process spawning speeds are typically way faster than Windows one (with or without WSL), so much that even when in a VM with dozen of % of overhead, it is still

hm, here the story is clear, as presented by the self declared "harassment victim": the FBI politely asked for a meeting (without making a time consuming investigation before that), several time, but still politely, and the "

But they only change their mind for this particular code, because it is part of a benchmark, which is the kind of code they supports instead of useful one.

Honestly to my untrained eyes, it stills looks like a weird operating system except more complicated, all of that to implement features you could have implemented more simply with a less crazy architecture that does not involve launching a

They are specific. See 5 in 5.1.2.4 Multi-threaded executions and data races in n1570. In term of real hardware it translates well in MESI/MESI-like protocol on cache lines on ooo cores, without much more constraints (of course some ar

Not the author, but anyway; I'm not sure you can release on one variable and acquire on an other while having ordering guarantee between the two. Anyway, I agree that having both acq and rel on both reader on writer side seems weird. I

If you know what you are doing, the C11/C++11 memory model (or another one with roughly the same features, like the linux kernel memory model) and how a computer actually works, I don't think you will find a single architecture on

Given the implementation, there is nothing lightweight and low-overhead to use at build time, and at runtime how exactly is this lighter than a struct? As for self-documenting, I don't even know what it would mean here. Remains "i

Why would you want to create a named tuple by invoking convoluted code (and arguable with the end result being also not trivial to use) instead of just declaring a structure? This article is interesting to explore the technical capabilities

by temac 11y ago
WTF? Just use a struct. And interop with existing tuples; maybe conversion constructor and operator cast. 10 lines everybody can understand, not some crazy shit.

Maybe because this has been ready for a long time just in case and they just decided to actually switch to that strategy right now?

I don't think the machine were free. You could either rent it for cheap, or buy it. There was a few revision of the hard too, but most people had a semi-old revision like v2 or v3 (don't remember exactly). Maybe in the 2000 the ol

Everybody does that. This has not much to do with ACPI. ACPI is mainly a software thing (yes, you have some dedicated register support in some chips, but the baseline of those that are absolutely necessary is quite small and well supported

He was talking about one $2k laptop. Once you buy one windows version of that, knowing that the software installed on it can support other laptop is not going to make you less sad about your short battery life...

True. What is fun is that you could imagine a technology where you would (powering down some unused memory chips), but I don't know if this would be worth it.

Why do you want so much to limit to 6, especially since you also do a DNS validation? You should better lean on the permissive side; that would be one less thing to think about. That kind of "validation" does not check for existin

Their CEO is not the brightest guy in the universe. This security notice is well written and signed by him... but obviously not written by him.
